The legend
Legend says that deep in the mountains, where the ice never melts, lives a creature that has never lost a pool.
Nobody has seen it, but everyone has heard its growl when a goalie lets in a soft goal in overtime.
Why the den exists
The YETII built its den for one reason only: bring the real ones together.
Not the ones who fill out a sheet at the last minute.
The ones who…

Coffee, injuries, the starting goalie. Before anyone else.
know that winning comes down to the details
A power-play point. A +1. A 9th-round pick who breaks out.
