  • On Trading, OHL Has a Lot to Learn Players Are Also Students, and Under Plenty of Stress by STEVE SIMMONS -- Toronto Sun
    On trading, OHL has a lot to learn Players are also students, and under plenty of stress By STEVE SIMMONS -- Toronto Sun Why I wouldn't want my son playing in the Ontario Hockey League: They trade kids. They swap teenager for teenager. They preach education but think nothing of bartering young men just days away from exam time. Yesterday, on the day kids returned to high school, a boy named Yves Bastien, who grew up in Northern Ontario and left home to learn his junior hockey and math in Kitchener, found out that he will now be living and playing and schooling in Peterborough. Bastien is all of 17-years-old. This is his draft year. This is his professional ticket. Yes, the OHL treats these kids as though they are professionals. Except they don't pay them a whole lot of anything to be professional. Except most of them, the statistics show, will play low-level professional hockey and never any higher. In fairness, the teams do provide educational packages for their players -- which has been a source of some controversy recently -- but that, on it own isn't enough. "If there's one area we expose ourselves as not always serving (our players) it is in trading players," OHL commissioner David Branch said, clearly uncomfortable with the subject. "I am not one who is in favour of large-scale trading. I think there are valid reasons for some trades ... but we have to continue to find a way to make this right." The OHL has experimented with moving its trading deadline and putting in trading blackout periods, but typically hockey people find their way around the spirit of the rules.

  • Injury-Depleted Jets Edge Devils Laine Continues Scoring Streak, Hellebuyck Sets Franchise Win Record
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/injury-depleted-jets-edge-devils-3-2-in-record- setting-night-for-hellebuyck-476329693.html?k=PMqwKj Injury-depleted Jets edge Devils Laine continues scoring streak, Hellebuyck sets franchise win record By: Mike McIntyre NEWARK, N.J. — Two of the biggest stories going in the NHL these days came together under one roof Thursday night. But while Taylor Hall’s incredible point streak came to an end, Patrik Laine’s goal-scoring heroics continued. The Finnish teen sniped for the 39th time this season — and sixth in three games on this current road trip — as the Winnipeg Jets edged the New Jersey Devils 3-2 at Prudential Center. "I don’t even know what to say. It’s pretty funny, and pretty awesome of course. He’s a pretty good friend, and seeing him scoring the way he does right now, you kind of wish you could do that as well," linemate Nikolaj Ehlers said following Winnipeg’s fourth consecutive win. Ehlers was no slouch himself, scoring the game-winning goal in the third period and adding an assist. Winnipeg improves to 41-17-9 with 15 games left in the regular season. They remain six points back of the Nashville Predators for first place in the Central Division, but are now eight points up on the third-place Minnesota Wild. The Predators won their 10th straight game Thursday, while the Wild were idle. Both Hall and Laine have been the talk of the league lately. Hall entered the game having put up points in 26 consecutive games.
