[1] www.futureprolive.com www.futurepro.com FORWARD ! I realized a childhood dream when I played a regular season game in the NHL against the New Jersey Devils. December 5th, 1990 was the highlight of years of work, dedication and dreams. ! ! However, I wouldn't have been able to make it to that level without the help and support of many people. ! Without the love, support and undying faith in my abilities that my wife Tracey displayed, I never would have reached the big leagues. She definitely is my 1st round draft choice and fortunately is on a lifetime contract with a no-trade clause! ! As a goaltender I have to thank the person that molded me into an NHL caliber athlete. Mitch Korn, now goaltending coach with the Nashville Predators, scouted me out of Strathroy Jr. " B " and taught me ever thing I know about the position. ! As an NHL goaltending coach I again have to defer to the knowledge Mitch passed on to me. It speaks of his influence when he creates not only NHL goalies, but fellow NHL goalie coaches as well. ! In the song ' Big League ' by Tom Cochrane the main line says, “ My boy is going to play in the Big Leagues, my boy is going to turn some heads.” ! ! I was such a late bloomer I don't think my parents ever had that thought go through their minds. However, like millions of parents across Canada they took me to those early practices, traveled to all the small towns, sent me to summer camps and spent all their money on my hockey endeavors. For this, I owe them a great deal and I think the only way to repay them is to do the same for my children and grand children. !!!!!! Enjoy the book! !!

The most important fundamental that a goaltender must possess is the basic stance. This is also referred to as the crouch or the ready position. All saves and movements start from the basic stance. ! The skates should be shoulder width apart with the weight slightly on the balls of the feet. The skates should be tilted slightly inward so the weight is distributed on the inside edges a little more than the outside edge. The typical stance should be just a little higher than if you were sitting in an imaginary chair. This deep crouch will allow you to explode when you move sideways and will help you reach low shots with your feet. Whenever a goaltender anticipates any lateral play the stance should deepen slightly to assist in explosiveness. When viewed from the side a straight line should be formed from the shoulders to the knees to the balls of the feet. Here we see Mike in a nice balanced stance with a vertical straight line through his shoulders, knees and the balls of his feet. I would prefer to see his gloves moved forward closer to the red dotted line. This will get the stick more vertical and cover more net with the gloves. He does have a proper 12 - 16” gap between his stick and toes. [4] www.futureprolive.com www.futurepro.com STICK POSITIONING The stick should be firmly held with the blade flat on the ice about a foot in front of the skates to help cushion rebounds. The stick should be centered between the skates to cover the opening between the legs on the ice. Hold the stick with a trigger grip to help prevent the stick from spinning on a hard shot. Your index finger should be extended down the face of the paddle. [5] www.futureprolive.com Stick Issues www.futurepro.com As you move around the crease in your Movement Ready Stance your stick needs to be flush to the ice. The entire bottom edge of your stick should be in contact with the ice. Just like with your glove, you should meticulously keep your stick blade square to the puck as it moves around your zone. In addition to being flush and square, your stick should be centered in your stance filling your 5 hole. The stick should slightly lead your movements around the crease but should not be flung way out ahead of your movements or slashed around rapidly. The movement of your stick should be precise, incremental and very disciplined. [6] www.futureprolive.com Glove Position www.futurepro.com Within our stances, the most dramatic changes we see, decade to decade, involve the position of the glove. In the early 80"s goalies would claw their glove in front of their body or carry it like it was ready to catch a puck dropped from the ceiling. Of course everyone has a glove position they feel comfortable with and have had success with. By all means use what works and what you are comfortable with. But bear in mind that as the shooters get better you may need to adjust your glove position accordingly if you start to get lit up. The glove needs to be held in a position that allows you the easiest path to make saves. This starts with the concept of palm squareness. The palm of your glove needs to be square to the upward trajectory of the puck. Holding the glove forward in your stance simply covers more net as well. Jeff Lerg - NCAA Champion An open glove will often catch a puck that just hits it. I can't tell you how many times I've had "garbage' end up in my glove just because it was there and open. [7] www.futureprolive.com Glove Issues www.futurepro.com In these examples we see clear examples of palms that are facing anywhere but at the puck. We call this glove position the “yo – yo” as it looks like the goalie is just about to fire off a few reps with a yo – yo. A quick shot from a smart player and you will never get this gun out of the holster in time. We have even seen goalies using a glove position where the palm is actually facing the side boards. It appears like the goalie is waving at their mother in the crowd! Many European goalies have displayed some “funky” glove positions. Here a Russian goalie from the KHL demonstrates a common glove position error.

  • Comprehension Builders Research Reveals That the Single Most Valuable Activity for Developing Students’ Com- Prehension Is Reading Itself
    Daily Comprehension Builders Research reveals that the single most valuable activity for developing students’ com- prehension is reading itself. At its core, comprehension is an active process in which students think about text and gain meaning from it. In order for them to build compe- tence in comprehension, their reading should be purposeful and reflective. It should foster the exploration of genre, language, and information. Daily Comprehension Build- ers is a resource that provides the instructional framework to help your students build strength in comprehension and achieve success in reading! Comprehension Basics Comprehension begins with what a student knows about a topic. It builds as a child reads and actively makes connections between new information and prior knowledge. Understanding is increased as the student organizes what he has read in relationship to what he already knows. To successfully comprehend, students need to master a variety of critical skills, such as constructing word meanings from context, determin- ing main ideas and locating details to support them, sequencing, inferring and drawing conclusions, making generalizations, predicting, summarizing, and sensing an author’s purpose. Daily Comprehension Builders provides multiple opportunities for reinforcing these essential skills, resulting in increased learning and competence in reading. About This Book Thirty-six high-interest reading selections, each accompanied by five activities and two to three reproducible skill sheets, are featured in this book. (See the unit features detailed below.) Each unit is clearly organized and highlights one of the following topics or genres: sports, famous people, animals, oddities, real-life mysteries, and adventure. Use each unit in its entirety, or pick and choose activities to build specific skills.

  • “To Tend Goal for the Greatest Junior Team Ever” – Ted Tucker, Former
    “To tend goal for the greatest junior team ever” – Ted Tucker, former California Golden Seals and Montreal Junior Canadiens goalie by Nathaniel Oliver - published on August 30, 2016 Three of them won the Stanley Cup. One is in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Arguably three more should be. Six were NHL All-Star selections. Each one of them played professional hockey, whether it was in the NHL, WHA, or in the minors – they all made it to the pro level. And I am fortunate enough to have one of the two goaltenders for the 1968-69 Montreal Junior Canadiens – the team still widely considered the greatest junior hockey team of all time – to be sharing his story with me. Edward (Ted) William Tucker was born May 7th, 1949 in Fort William, Ontario. From his earliest moments of playing street hockey or shinny, Ted Tucker wanted to be a goaltender. Beginning to play organized hockey at the age of nine, there was minimal opportunity to start the game at a younger age. “At the time that I started playing hockey, there were no Tom Thumb, Mites, or Squirts programs in my hometown. There was a small ad in our local newspaper from the Elks organization, looking for players and asking which position you preferred to play. I asked my parents if I could sign up, and right from the get-go I wanted to be a goalie”. As a youngster, Tucker’s play between the pipes would take some time to develop, though improvement took place each year as he played.

  • Does Relative Age Affect Career Length in North American Professional Sports? C
    Steingröver et al. Sports Medicine - Open (2016) 2:18 DOI 10.1186/s40798-016-0042-3 ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Does Relative Age Affect Career Length in North American Professional Sports? C. Steingröver1*, N. Wattie2, J. Baker3 and J. Schorer1 Abstract Background: Relative age effects (RAEs) typically favour older members within a cohort; however, research suggests that younger players may experience some long-term advantages, such as longer career length. The purposes of this study were to replicate previous findings on RAEs among National Hockey League (NHL) ice hockey players, National Basketball Association (NBA) basketball players and National Football League (NFL) football players and to investigate the influence of relative age on career length in all three sports. Methods: Using official archives, birthdates and number of games played were collected for players drafted into the NBA (N =407),NFL(N = 2380) and NHL (N = 1028) from 1980 to 1989. We investigated the possibility that younger players might be able to maximize their career length by operationalizing career length as players’ number of games played throughout their careers. Results: There was a clear RAE for the NHL, but effects were not significant for the NBA or NFL. Moreover, there was a significant difference in matches played between birth quartiles in the NHL favouring relatively younger players. There were no significant quartiles by career length effects in the NBA or NFL. Conclusions: The significant relationship between relative age and career length provides further support for relative age as an important constraint on expertise development in ice hockey but not basketball or football.

  • George Paynter Career
    Paner Family Baseball Family The Professional Baseball Life & Times of George W. Paynter (Paner) (“the ball player”) So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past - The thing that connects us is love. 1 My Grandfather, George W. Paynter (Paner), was on his own from about age 13 (1884), after his Father died at age 31. 1800s generations spelling of Paner varied, but in Germanic Cincinnati they likely sounded alike. Throughout his pro baseball playing he was Paynter. He died when I was in the 4th Grade (1950). I only knew him from our one or two visits each year to see extended family in Cincinnati. I often heard - “ So you’re the Grandson of George Paner - the ball player”. Though his single game in the Major Leagues was 50+ years earlier “the ball player” title stuck due to his zest for playing more than 20 years, in and out of town, in very competitive pro and semi-pro leagues until age 42, and rooting for the beloved home town Reds all his life. Kevin Costner’s line in Field of Dreams - "I only knew him later, after life beat him down.", spoke of my Grandfather to me. George Paynter’s baseball and life story is compelling: • Strong semi-pro years, then briefly in minors at Lynchburg VA. (April, 1894) • “Cup of coffee” career single game in the National League (August 12, 1894) • Devastating Southern League game beaning ( August, 1896) • Patient in the South’s first Hospital for the Insane in Tuscaloosa, AL (1896) • Wife’s (my Grandmother) trip to gain his release and, teach him skills again • Losing George Jr at age 11, in a gruesome homicide (1905) • Playing another 15 years of very competitive pro / semi-pro baseball and loving the game a lifetime.

  • “Butterfly”? Hockey Players As Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Is Thought to Be Derived from Repetitive Microtrauma by Austin V
    TEAM PHYSICIAN XS & OS The rising popularity of the “butterfly” position in amateur hockey may be Should We Limit Time Spent attributed to its success in the National Hockey League (NHL).1,2 The position carries potential risk for injury in youth in the “Butterfly”? hockey players as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is thought to be derived from repetitive microtrauma By Austin V. Stone MD, PhD, and Shane J. Nho, MD, MS, Division of Sports Medicine, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center which may be incurred in the position. Even in asymptomatic youth hockey players, FAI deformities are prevalent and suggest a reactionary bone formation not seen in other youth athletes.3 The research into the effects of the position is still limited despite high profile reporting of the position’s risk in Sports Illustrated2; however, widespread concerns for butterfly position related injuries in amateur to professional hockey have appeared in the lay press.4-8 The “butterfly” position is a technique that was heavily popularized by Patrick Roy’s success.1 The technique encourages goalies to increase their internal rotation of their hips and place the knees in valgus to lower the player’s center of gravity closer to the ice while maintaining a protective spread. When assuming the butterfly position, hockey goalies may often exceed their physiologic internal rotation.9 Supraphysiologic internal rotation and knee valgus can increase the injury risk.10,11 Hockey goalies are known to have an increased rate of hip injuries in the NHL. A recent report of NHL players reported the odds risk for injury was 1.68 (95% CI: 1.18 – 2.38) as a goalie compared to position player.11 A prevalence study performed between 2006–2010 in the NHL identified 1.84 injuries per 1000 appearances in goalies compared to position players (0.34 forwards; 0.47 limit pad flexibility.
