As we all look forward to a new year with renewed hopes for all that is good, here’s one last look back at the tragedy that struck the hockey world in 2011. It doesn’t matter if you’re rooting a contender or a pretender; favorite or underdog; charmed team or cursed—we all hope that 2012 brings more healing and far less suffering for the hockey community.

There’s something we can ALL root for.

Happy New Year from all of us at View From My Seats to anyone who may stumble upon our small little corner of the hockey world. Here’s to more scoring and fewer concussions in the coming year.

Matt Reitz is the Editor-In-Chief here at ViewFromMySeats.com and former NHL Writer for ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports. When he’s not shoving a mic in the face of NHLers or explaining why home teams should wear white, he’s usually trying to figure out what song to play next on his iPod. It’s a never-ending job.
