A new season. A big break. One more chance. Come fall, the perfect promise of hockey speaks to all Canadians.

Will this be the year the Cup finally comes home? Can Crosby score 50? Will the Leafs win—or break—hearts?

Maclean’s celebrates the return of the NHL with a special package in our next issue that profiles those who will give their all—on and off the ice—when the puck drops Oct. 8.
