We acknowledge that nobody has all the knowledge and information pertaining to every hockey player or team that has existed–and that engaging with a subject creatively does not necessarily mean support for what they stand for. Bearing these facts in mind, we ask that you use good sense and your best judgment when choosing what content to submit to the zine.
