Blackhawks Fire Joel Quenneville; Name Jeremy Colliton Head Coach Today’s News Clips Nov. 7, 2018 ChicagoBlackhawks.com THREE THINGS: Colliton named Blackhawks head coach By Chris Wescott November 6, 2018 The Blackhawks had a big announcement on Tuesday, relieving Joel Quenneville of his duties and naming Jeremy Colliton the newest head coach in franchise history. Here are three things to know about Colliton. 1. THE YOUTH MOVEMENT 33-year-old Colliton is now the youngest head coach in the NHL today, although not the youngest in history. That would be Gary Green, who was hired by the Washington Capitals at the age of 26 in 1979. Colliton is younger than four of his players on the roster today: Duncan Keith, Chris Kunitz, Corey Crawford and Cam Ward. Colliton is just a few seasons removed from his playing days, and actually skated with Brent Seabrook for Team Canada at the 2004 World Juniors, held in Helsinki, Finland. Canada earned silver in that tournament. In talking with players around the locker room, it does not appear that his youth will be a negative. "He brings a whole lot of energy," said Alex DeBrincat. "He's smiling out there, he's talking to us, he's trying to get to know us. I think that's a good thing to have that connection and start it as soon as today. It's good to have him here." Jonathan Toews added, "It is different, considering what we're used to but from what I hear and what I've seen so far, Jeremy Colliton brings a lot of youthful energy to the game and he's got a lot of experience on the ice as well. I think he understands how to get through to guys and get through to each player and how to get the best from them. I've heard nothing but good things from the guys that played for him in Rockford last year. Looking forward to what he can bring to our team here." 2. LIMITED SAMPLE, BIG RESULTS It's still very early in Colliton's coaching career, but the results thus far have been good. With Mora IK in Sweden (Hockey Allsvenskan), Colliton originally took over as an interim head coach during the 2013-14 season. He led the team to a 98-18-57 record in his time there. In 2016-17, he steered the club to a league-best 35-4-13 record. He took over as the Rockford IceHogs bench boss on May 18, 2017, and led them to a record of 40-28-4-4 in his first season. He then guided the Blackhawks primary affiliate to their first-ever appearance in the American Hockey League Western Conference Final. They swept the Chicago Wolves and the Manitoba Moose in those playoffs 3. FORMER PLAYER Colliton was selected in the second round, 58th overall, of the 2003 NHL Draft by the New York Islanders. He played in 57 NHL games during his career, scoring three goals and three assists. He was a player overseas as recently as 2013-14, and skated in the AHL with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in 2011-12. Being that fresh off the ice might give Colliton a unique perspective. "You can tell he played for a long time and he's very approachable too," said Luke Johnson. "He understands how to manage the team. He's not that far removed from the game himself. I think he uses that to his advantage and I think his demeanor overall will definitely help us going forward," added John Hayden. ChicagoBlackhawks.com FEATURE: Players react to coaching change By Chris Wescott November 6, 2018 The Blackhawks announced this morning that Joel Quenneville had been relieved of his duties and Jeremy Colliton has been named the 38th head coach in franchise history. For the Blackhawks players, it was the first time they have experienced practice under different leadership. Here is what some of the players had to say after the skate about Quenneville, the change and Colliton. We'll have a full feature story on the newest head coach and more coverage of the press conference later today on chicagoblackhawks.com. JONATHAN TOEWS: "You take responsibility for it. You always wonder and you're always looking for solutions when things aren't going the way you want them too, the way they are right now. If that's the decision that's been made, you have to move on but you wish you could have done something else with the group that you had. That includes the coaching staff as well." "It is different, considering what we're used to but from what I hear and what I've seen so far, Jeremy Colliton brings a lot of youthful energy to the game and he's got a lot of experience on the ice as well. I think he understands how to get through to guys and get through to each player and how to get the best from them. I've heard nothing but good things from the guys that played for him in Rockford last year. Looking forward to what he can bring to our team here." PATRICK KANE: "I think there are a lot of different emotions that you can go through when something like that happens. I think it is a tough day for everyone." "Obviously, we had a good start to the season and then just kind of the last five games we've had a little bit of a hiccup there. I think if you look at those five games you can think of things here or there we could have done better and this wouldn't have happened. That's the way it goes. We were 0-4-1 in that stretch and they felt a move needed to be made." COREY CRAWFORD: "I was pretty surprised this morning. We spent a lot of time here with Joel as the coach. The team has had three championships, obviously. You never want to see a guy leave, including the coaches. We've been through so much together. I think for me, personally, he's had a ton of confidence in me from the start and it's hard to hear that news. In this business, those things happen sometimes. It seems like coaches are maybe the first ones to go most of the time, but it's just hard to see him go." BRENT SEABROOK: "He means the world to me. I mean, 10 years, three Stanley Cups. What was I, 23 or 24 when he came here? He taught me a lot as a young man and player. The little things he always harped on I'll remember for the rest of my life I'm sure. But just the way he was with us, how he treated us professionally and as individuals, he was a guy who always liked to have some fun and what not but gave us our space and allowed us to be players. It was just a tough day today and I'll cherish the days and memories and all the stuff we had." "100 percent. It doesn't just fall on the coach, it falls on the players and the whole organization. I think as players and you go down the line. I think we're just as much at fault and we've got to take responsibility and be better as players." JOHN HAYDEN: "I was shocked this morning. I know how much he's meant to this organization, winning championships with the older guys and really establishing a winning culture here. I know all the younger guys learned a ton from him. He gave us an opportunity to get our foot into this league. For me, he gave me an opportunity to come here, play regular season games, play in the playoffs, and for two straight training camps Joel showed that initial faith in me for me to be here. What I've learned from him over the last couple years I will carry with me." "I just remember have a conversation with him before my first NHL game and him telling me I'd be great. I started my career on a line with Toews and I ended up playing the last 10 or 11 games and then playing in the playoffs. And for me to get that opportunity in the spring before my first NHL training camp was invaluable." "[Colliton] understands how to manage the team. He's not that far removed from the game himself. I think he uses that to his advantage and I think his demeanor overall will definitely help us going forward. We're all excited to get going on Thursday. I think you could tell at practice that guys were pretty motivated to get this thing turned around." LUKE JOHNSON: "Definitely surprised. I didn't expect that really, but I think the blame isn't on one guy it's on all of us in here. Obviously, we haven't played well over the last little stretch here and we're looking to turn it around. Nobody was expecting it but we've got to move forward." "I loved [Colliton] when I was in Rockford. He was really good for me and a lot of the young guys down there. I always thought that he'd get his chance one day in the NHL, whether it be in a few years or whatever. I wasn't expecting right away, but I'm very happy for him and I'm excited for him to work with us and get going here." ALEX DEBRINCAT: "I was pretty shocked.

  • The Chicago Bears Chose Devin Hester with the 57Th Pick in the 2006 Draft,Nike Nfl Uniforms 2012, and They Got a Steal
    The Chicago Bears chose Devin Hester with the 57th pick in the 2006 draft,nike nfl uniforms 2012, and they got a steal. Hester is the best kick returner in the league,new nfl nike jerseys, and he has a chance to go down in history as the best kick returner ever. Every N.F.L. team would love to pick this year’s version of Devin Hester. But does this draft have a Devin Hester? One surprisingly bold player is willing to say it does, and he’s it: Troy cornerback Leodis McKelvin. The Vikings clearly were unconcerned about the risks of a huge second contract for a superstar running back. We discussed that issue this summer,nfl jersey monster,leaked nike nfl jerseys, noting the relatively short career spans for running backs and the recent examples of big-time runners whose production dipped dramatically after signing their second contracts. Peterson has tallied 1,334 touches in his career,womens football jerseys, including kickoff returns, but has missed only three of a possible 64 games and has had no off-field issues that would compromise his eligibility to play with the league. Most NFL observers consider Peterson and the Tennessee Titans' Chris Johnson as the co-best running backs in the league,football jersey creator, but Peterson's deal exceeds the one Johnson signed last month. Johnson's extension averaged $13.3 million in new money and included $30 million in guarantees.

I highly recommend it to any Wings fan.I just read it in017, unfortunately book was written in 2008; so cuts out after the Wings last cup. Hope he writes an addendum one day.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
