In the summer of 1996, my mother’s business partner vanished during a sea kayaking trip off the coast of Mexico. Keith, as I’ll call him, told his group he wanted to watch the full moon out on the water, and when no one volunteered to join him, he paddled out by himself.

I was six years old. Keith...

The modest beginnings of a massive task can be found across the street from a bustling arena construction site, inside a historic single-story brick building that once functioned as an auto garage during the Great Depression. Most of the square footage is reserved for sales staffers of the NHL’s 32nd franchise, though a small section has been staked out for the nascent hockey ops department. General manager Ron Francis has an office. Same for Alexandra Mandrycky, director of hockey administration. Technically they also share a conference space. Then again, as Francis says, “There’s only two people, so I’m not even sure we need all three rooms.” Soon that...
