A Whiteout Backfire: Scalpers Sell Free Tickets for Winnipeg Jets Street Party Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/a-whiteout-backfire-scalpers-sell-free- tickets-for-winnipeg-jets-street-party-482428883.html A Whiteout backfire: Scalpers sell free tickets for Winnipeg Jets street party By: Bill Redekop A new system to track attendance at Whiteout street parties during Winnipeg Jets playoff games could backfire and result in smaller crowds. Organizers announced a new policy Friday requiring attendees to obtain a free ticket in advance. The ticket must be downloaded from Ticketmaster to a smartphone, printed from a computer or obtained at the Bell MTS Place box office. The ticket process was announced as a way organizers could know how many people to expect, so they could provide services such as policing and portable toilets. However, all 25,000 tickets for today’s party were gone in less than an hour, and tickets for Monday’s party were gone by mid-afternoon Friday. The highest attendance for a street party so far was 20,000 last Tuesday for Game 6 against Nashville. That’s led to suspicions that the commitment of some people obtaining tickets is soft and that they obtained the free tickets more as insurance should they feel like going. As well, with the rush to obtain tickets online, people were almost forced to scoop up tickets immediately before they had time to consult with friends and family. "I assumed that this was going to happen. They sell out immediately because people get them in case they decide to go," Jets fan Chris Cymbalisty said. The free tickets started to show up almost immediately on buy-and-sell website Kijiji — for a price. Tickets were typically selling for $25 each, with one offer of four for $150. Winnipeg police issued a warning Friday for the public to beware of tickets being offered for sale "for large sums of money per ticket." "This is considered what is commonly known as ticket scalping," police said, noting the practice is against the law. Kevin Donnelly, a senior vice-president with True North Sports and Entertainment, conceded the new ticket process could result in smaller street parties because not everyone will use their tickets. "That’s a fact of life" in planning events, he said. "We aren’t necessarily interested in maxing out this space. We’re doing our best to accommodate as many fans as we can, but we’re going to err on fewer (people) rather than greater," he said. Fans can obtain as many as eight tickets per order. That’s standard for concerts — although those tickets aren’t free — and people attending the Whiteout parties tend to go in large groups, Donnelly said. Donnelly stressed the new policy is a work in progress. "Every time we’ve done these things, we have learned a lesson. We’re going to see what happens today and hopefully put the lessons learned into use on Monday." Donnelly didn’t know how successful people would be trying to sell the tickets online. "We find it an unfortunate sign of the times that we’re seeing tickets sold," he said. "It’s not in the spirit of this event." Crowd management policy is determined by a committee that includes True North, the city, Winnipeg police and emergency services. Tim Feduniw, Manitoba Restaurant and Foodservices Association executive director, sympathizes with the organizers. "I remember putting on a free April Wine concert in Portage la Prairie (in the 1990s) and expecting 8,000 people to show up. We got 28,000. It was absolutely crazy. We didn’t know what to do," Feduniw said. "From a predictive perspective, it’s important to understand what kind of crowd numbers you’re dealing with. As excitement builds, we need to understand what we’re facing." But Feduniw said the issue that too many people may go downtown is an enviable dilemma. "What a wonderful problem to have, anticipating crowds downtown larger than we can handle. When was the last time we had that kind of problem?" Dayna Spiring, president and CEO of Economic Development Winnipeg, said street-party organizers must be doing something right because city and hockey officials from Edmonton visited Winnipeg recently to study the Whiteout parties. People with tickets to the Jets game can use their tickets to enter the street party before and after the game. Street party ticket holders can leave and re-enter the gated-off party area. Tickets will be scanned at entry points. The maximum crowd capacity for the licensed area of the street party is about 22,000 and another 3,000 for the family area at the Millennium Library. Gates open at 4 p.m. today. The game between the Jets and the Vegas Golden Knights starts at 6 p.m. at Bell MTS Place. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/stastny-takes-off-after-landing-with-jets- 482446323.html Stastny takes off after landing with Jets Sky's the limit for trade-deadline acquisition By: Jason Bell He’s affectionately known as Stas by his relatively still-new teammates, but Paul Stastny could easily carry the handle Clutch. When there’s a series on the line, he’s demonstrated during his NHL career an ability to elevate his level of play and grab the spotlight. He’s a proven difference-maker in heavy-duty games, and the Winnipeg Jets hockey club is the latest beneficiary. Stastny, acquired from the St. Louis Blues at the trade deadline Feb. 26, is making Winnipeg general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff look mighty good right now. Case in point, the 32-year-old centre registered a couple of key points before Game 7 was even 11 minutes old Thursday night to significantly dull the "smash" in Smashville. While there wasn’t a whole lot to his secondary assist on Tyler Myers’s game-opener — a beastly goal from a bad angle on Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne — Stastny’s stubborn forecheck led to his fifth post- season goal just two minutes later, deflating the Predators, and a crowd of about 17,500 at Bridgestone Arena. He’d add a power-play goal midway through the third period for a three-point night in a 5-1 series-clinching triumph, beefing up his playoff totals to six goals and 14 points through 12 games. "Obviously, (Stastny) can share his stories, he can share his experiences with all of us, especially the young guys. His game did all the speaking, especially (Thursday). He played unbelievable," centre Mark Scheifele gushed. "That line got us going in the game, and got a big goal on the power play as well. I think it’s just the person he is. He leads by example, does all the right things on and off the ice, and that stuff just gets rewarded." Stastny is an unrestricted free agent at season’s end, and, with a bunch of money still to be spent by the organization this summer on many of its young stars, might wind up being a pure rental player. But it’s easy to accept a future without Stastny if it comes AFTER a Stanley Cup parade through downtown streets. So, credit Cheveldayoff for making the best deadline deal of 2018. Frankly, only one other trade comes even close. The Tampa Bay Lightning paid a steep price to acquire defenceman Ryan McDonagh and forward J.T. Miller from New York Rangers. In exchange, the Lightning surrendered forward Vladislav Namestnikov, defenceman Libor Hajek, forward Brett Howden, a 2018 first-round pick and a 2019 conditional first-round pick. McDonagh had five assists in the playoffs prior to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final between the Lightning and Washington Capitals. A review of major NHL trade-day deals the past few years shows Stastny’s acquisition might be the shrewdest move since 2014, when the Rangers picked up pending free-agent Martin St. Louis from Tampa Bay. The veteran all-star had expressed a desire to be moved, and Lightning GM Steve Yzerman made it happen. Tampa Bay sent St. Louis and a conditional second-round pick to New York for Ryan Callahan, a first-round pick and a conditional second. St. Louis had a solid post-season, scoring eight goals and adding seven assists in 25 games as the Rangers made it all the way to Game 5 of the ’14 final before being eliminated by L.A. Stastny continues to fortify his reputation as a major contributor in pressure-packed circumstances. The 12-year veteran, and son of NHL Hall of Famer Peter Stastny, is among some select company when it comes to production in Game 7 appearances. He has four goals and eight points in four games, leaving him fourth on the list of current NHLers. He’s behind only current Carolina Hurricanes right-winger Justin Williams (14 points in seven Game 7s), Boston Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron (nine points in four) and Detroit Red Wings centre Henrik Zetterberg (nine points in five). Cheveldayoff was asked point-blank Saturday for his impressions of Stastny’s impact on the team. "Some of his best performances are things none of us get to see, and really happen inside the dressing room and on the plane and sitting beside the players, just the experience that he has," said Cheveldayoff, who surrendered a first-round pick this summer and forward prospect Erik Foley to land Stastny. "We knew we were getting a quality player (and), obviously, you can see that on the ice. (Also) a quality person, we knew that from our due diligence in the past. "What he can bring inside the room, until you have a player, someone like that who can provide those experiences, you don’t really appreciate until you have." Here’s a few of this year’s deadline deals that fell short, at least in the short term: ● Three days before the deadline, the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Senators centre Derick Brassard in a convoluted three-team deal between Ottawa and Vegas.

    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.

    Phone: 424-5607 Fax: 424-5206 Arborgate School Sandra Meilleur Principal Nichole Borkowsky P.O. Box 40, La Broquerie, Manitoba R0A 0W0 Vice-Principal Dear Parents / Guardians, Our class (Grade 8GJ) has been invited to attend the Project 11 Mental Wellness Summit that’s in conjunction with Bell Let’s Talk Day at Bell MTS Place on Wednesday, January 30, 2019. This inspirational event will bring together Project 11 students and teachers from across Manitoba to celebrate the empowerment and well-being of our youth. The session will start promptly at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 1:30 p.m., allowing for plenty of time for our students to be bussed there and back during the regular school day. Participants will have the opportunity to spend a half day with Craig Heisinger, Winnipeg Jets players, Manitoba Moose players, and other special guests who will speak about topics related to mental wellness. Students will also be able to enjoy some lively music and students will also receive a special giveaway! Students are encouraged to bring their own bagged lunch. Concessions will be available during the lunch break but these can be quite pricey and cause delays due to long line ups. If you have any question or concerns you can either call the school or email me at [email protected] and I will be able to answer/clarify any concerns you may have. Sincerely, Paul Grosskopf My son/daughter ______________________ has permission to attend the Project 11 Mental Wellness Summit on January 30, 2019 at Bell MTS Place.
