Grounded in Mile High City Winnipeg's Second Too-Many-Men Penalty Proves Costly in OT Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/grounded-in-mile-high-city- 460938023.html Grounded in Mile High City Winnipeg's second too-many-men penalty proves costly in OT By: Mike Sawatzky DENVER — In a game of mishaps, bad penalties and near-misses, the end of Wednesday’s Jets-Colorado Avalanche showdown at the Pepsi Center had a suitably wacky flourish. Nathan MacKinnon scored the winner 59 seconds into overtime, on a power play, to give the hosts a 3-2 triumph. It was actually MacKinnon’s second goal of the extra period. He had scored moments earlier, only to have the marker disallowed by a video review that caught defenceman Tyson Barrie offside on the play. The Jets were doomed by a too-many-men penalty with eight seconds left in regulation. "A penalty late, it is what is is, going into overtime 4-on-3 they’ve got a lot of skill," said Winnipeg defenceman Josh Morrissey. "I thought we had a pretty good plan. We got fortunate with the offside (call). We tried to come back and I think the shot went off my backside and in... We found a way at least to get a point." Morrissey was particularly unlucky in OT. The winner went in off his pants and the disallowed goal was redirected off his stick and past goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. "It was a grinding game," said Morrissey. "I thought both teams had momentum at points. We had some chances, they had some chances. You’ve got a 2-2 game going to overtime. You’re playing well enough to win. It’s unfortunate, obviously, the way it ended. But it’s one of those games." The Avs, seventh in the Central Division, improved to 12-9-2, while the second-place Jets went to 15-6-4 and pulled to within one point of the front-running St. Louis Blues. An inspired play from Nikolaj Ehlers and Bryan Little was almost enough to deliver the Jets to the win column 4:08 into the third period. With the teams locked in a 1-1 slugfest, the 21-year- old Danish left-winger gathered the puck in the neutral zone and flew into the Avs zone, won the angle on defenceman Tyson Barrie and put a backhand shot on Semyon Varlamov’s pad. The rebound went to Little, who scored on his second crack at the puck. It was his fourth goal and eighth point in his last nine games. To Winnipeg’s chagrin, the lead didn’t last. Nikita Zadorov tied the game again, beating Hellebuyck with a rising shot over his blocker at 11:57. Morrissey got the Jets off to a blazing start at 8:43 of the first period, teeing off on a point shot that appeared to change direction as it glanced off Colorado forward Matt Nieto and behind Varlamov. Varlamov was making his first start since missing three games with an illness. The Jets have made a habit of holding leads — going 11-1-2 in games in which they had scored first — but the early burst didn’t last. The pesky Avs are good at home and it wasn’t long before Alexander Kerfoot made it 1-1 on a power play at 13:21, chipping the puck over the goal-line as a sprawling Hellebuyck lost his mask. Hellebuyck protested but he got no sympathy from the officiating crew. The strap on Hellebuyck’s mask came loose on the impact of McKinnon’s original shot and the puck slid to a unguarded Kerfoot. Rule 9.6 of the NHL rulebook pertaining to helmets clearly states: "When the opposing team has control of the puck, play shall only be stopped if there is no immediate and impending scoring opportunity." Carl Soderberg nearly gave the hosts a lead in the final seconds of the opening period, taking a cross-ice pass and ripping a shot off the crossbar. STAYING HEALTHIER: the Jets entered Wednesday’s game with 39 man games lost to injury. A year ago, they had already racked up 108 man games lost en route to a 355 total for the season. This season, Matt Hendricks (seven games), Adam Lowry (nine) and Mathieu Perreault (12) have had the most extensive absences. By this stage of the 2016-17 season, Little, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Mark Stuart and Tyler Myers had already missed big chunks of playing time due to injury. NOTEWORTHY: Winnipeg went 0-for-4 on the power play while Colorado finished 2-for-5... Winnipeg outshot Colorado 33-26. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/manitoba-moose/mighty-manitoba-moose- charge-to-top-of-ahl-standings-460936413.html Mighty Manitoba Moose charge to top of AHL standings By: Mike McIntyre The Manitoba Moose are in rarefied air these days, looking down at the rest of their American Hockey League competitors from their perch on top of the standings. Winners of seven straight — and 11 of their past 12 — the Moose are off to a dynamic 15-5-2 start. Those 32 points put them nine clear of the next-best team in the Central Division and has the team tied with the Toronto Marlies for the AHL lead. They’ve accomplished all this despite playing 14 of their first 22 games on the road. Manitoba will look to continue their winning ways when they kick off a four-game homestand tonight at Bell MTS Place by hosting the Cleveland Monsters. It’s been quite the turnaround for a franchise that has floundered since returning to Winnipeg in 2015, missing the playoffs by a mile in their first two seasons. The Moose went 26-41-9 in their first season back, which was the third-worst record in the AHL. Last season they improved slightly to 29-37-10, which was the sixth-worst record overall. Combine the Moose mark this season with the impressive 15-6-3 record the Winnipeg Jets had entering their game in Colorado Wednesday night, and you have a combined 30-11-5 record for the two pro hockey teams operating in the city. What’s changed? In a nutshell, the draft-and-development model Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Chevelydayoff and Moose GM Craig Heisinger have been preaching about for years is finally starting to pay off. This Moose team is succeeding almost entirely from the play of promising prospects within their organization, a list that has gone from threadbare to deep. This is not a case of being led by career AHL stars or veteran NHL players signed to prop up their roster. That was how the first version of the Moose enjoyed so much success. After filling the void left by the Jets’ departure to Phoenix in 1996, the Moose eventually became the farm club of the Vancouver Canucks. While there were certainly some strong prospects to play in these parts over the season, the organization would often go out and sign big names with the goal of being as competitive as possible. It worked. For years the Moose were a perpetual AHL powerhouse, seemingly icing a championship contender every season. The Moose were sent packing to St. John’s when the NHL returned to Winnipeg in 2011, only to return following four years on the East Coast. Cheveldayoff and Heisinger made it clear from day one they intended to use the farm to groom the next generation of NHL players, even if it meant some growing pains. As a result, Moose fans hoping to see the same kind of success they had come to expect were in for disappointment — until now. In their most recent victory, an 8-1 thrashing of the Rockford IceHogs on Tuesday night in Illinois to cap off a perfect three-game road trip, the Moose had scoring contributions from nearly the entire roster. It was the first time the franchise had scored that many goals in a game since 2007. J.C. Lipon had a hat trick. Brendan Lemieux had a goal and two assists. Nic Petan, Mason Appleton and Patrice Cormier each had a goal and an assist. Jack Roslovic, Chase De Leo and Cameron Schilling had two assists, and goalie Michael Hutchinson stopped 47 of 48 shots he faced. Roslovic is the offensive leader of this team with 11 goals and 13 assists through 22 games in just his second year of pro hockey. He’s currently third in the AHL in scoring. Appleton has perhaps been the biggest surprise, as his seven goals and 12 assists put him in a tie for 11th in league scoring and third-best among rookies. July 1 depth signings Michael Sgarbossa (8G, 13A) and Buddy Robinson (8G, 7A), the continued improvement of young players such as Lemieux (6G, 8A in just 14 games), Lipon (7G, 8A) and De Leo (4G, 8A), and solid starts from rookies Jansen Harkins (2G, 3A) and Michael Spacek (1G, 4A) have given head coach Pascal Vincent the ability to put together four strong lines every game. Goaltending has also been tremendous. Hutchinson is 7-1-1 in nine starts with a 2.00 goals- against average and .945 save percentage that puts him along the league’s best in both categories. Eric Comrie, currently on recall with the Jets in place of the injured Steve Mason, is 8-4-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .927 SV%. On the blue line, the July 1 depth signing of Schilling (2G, 15A, second-best among all defencemen in the league), the emergence of rookie Sami Niku (2G, 10A) and the continued development of Winnipegger Peter Stoykewych (3G, 9A) have turned what had been a weakness into a strength.

The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and apprecia- tion of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Ice hockey is a physically demanding sport that often seems brutal and violent from the spectator’s point of view. In fact, ice hockey is often referred to as a combination of blood, sweat and beauty. The game demands athletes who are in top physical condition and can maintain nonstop motion at high speed. HISTORY OF THE GAME Ice hockey originated in Canada in the 19th cen- tury. The first formal game was played in Kingston, Ontario in 1855. McGill University started playing ice hockey in the 1870s. W. L. Robertson, a student at McGill, wrote the first set of rules for ice hockey. Canada’s Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston, offered a tro- phy to the winner of the 1893 ice hockey games. This was the origin of the now-famed Stanley Cup. Ice hockey was first played in the U. S. in 1893 at Johns Hopkins and Yale universities, respec- tively. The Boston Bruins was America’s first NHL hockey team. Ice hockey achieved Olym- pic Games status in 1922. Physical Education Learning Packets #23 Ice Hockey Text © 2006 The Advantage Press, Inc.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 10, 2021 Mackinnon, MATTHEWS and Mcdavid VOTED HART TROPHY FINALISTS NEW YORK
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 10, 2021 MacKINNON, MATTHEWS AND McDAVID VOTED HART TROPHY FINALISTS NEW YORK (June 10, 2021) – Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews and Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid are the three finalists for the 2020-21 Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded “to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team,” the National Hockey League announced today. Members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association submitted ballots for the Hart Trophy at the conclusion of the regular season, with the top three vote-getters designated as finalists. The winners of the 2021 NHL Awards presented by Bridgestone will be revealed during the Stanley Cup Semifinals and Stanley Cup Final, with exact dates, format and times to be announced. Following are the finalists for the Hart Trophy, in alphabetical order: Nathan MacKinnon, C, Colorado Avalanche MacKinnon placed fourth in the NHL with a career-high 1.35 points per game (20-45—65 in 48 GP) to propel the Avalanche’s top-ranked offense to the franchise’s third Presidents’ Trophy (also 1996-97 and 2000-01). MacKinnon finished among the League leaders in shots on goal (3rd; 206), power-play points (3rd; 25), assists (5th; 45), points (8th; 65) and power-play assists (t-10th; 17) despite missing eight of Colorado’s 56 contests. He did so on the strength of a career-best 15-game point streak from March 27 – April 28 (9-17—26), the longest by any player in 2020-21 as well as the longest by a member of the Avalanche since 2006-07 (Paul Stastny: 20 GP).

  • Jets Forced to Return Home After Real Whiteout Closes Minneapolis Airport
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/snowstorm-closes-minneapolis-airport- forces-jets-plane-to-land-in-duluth-479777143.html Jets forced to return home after real whiteout closes Minneapolis airport By: Mike McIntyre It was a white out on the highway near Monticello, Minnesota this morning. Free Press photographer Trevor Hagan was on his way to Minneapolis to cover the Jets/Wild playoff series. They've handled the Minnesota Wild in the first two games off their playoff series, but the Winnipeg Jets have proven to be no match for Mother Nature. A record-setting spring snowstorm meant the Jets were unable to land in Minneapolis Saturday afternoon and forced the charter flight to be diverted to Duluth, 250 kilometres northeast. After sitting on the tarmac for a couple hours waiting to see if an opportunity to get into the Twin Cities might open up, a decision was made to turn the plane around and head back to Winnipeg by late afternoon. All planes were grounded at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport for much of the day as the area was under a blizzard warning, with some estimates of more than 30 centimetres of snow. The Jets will now fly out of Winnipeg Sunday morning, which is a major change to normal game- day routine. The puck is set to drop for Game 3 at 6 p.m. in St Paul, with the Jets up 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. Winnipeg held a brief practice and media availability Saturday morning at the Bell MTS Iceplex, moving up the time because of the storm system.
