## Resource

Mike Babcock is cleared by the NHL to coach again after a review of his brief stint with the Columbus Blue Jackets, despite serious allegations including requests for personal photos. The league found no grounds to block him, even under the most damning interpretation, while the NHLPA’s 2023 probe yielded additional player testimony. Babcock is now the top candidate to lead the Edmonton Oilers, who recently fired their coach — and he’s reportedly already in talks with ownership and players. Keep watching this story unfold.
