Team 10 Chris Stewart Player's Side Team 10 Chris Stewart Player’s Side I) Introduction This brief will analyze St. Louis Blues (the “Blues” or the “Club”) forward Chris Stewart’s (“Mr. Stewart”) contributions on and off the ice, in the support of Mr. Stewart’s upcoming arbitration hearing. The purpose of this brief is to outline the reasons for which Mr. Stewart should be entitled to a salary greater than the $4.15 million figure set as the mid-point. Mr. Stewart is a 25-year-old Canadian born, right-handed, right-winger who played the most recent NHL season with the St. Louis Blues. Prior to the beginning of the 2007/2008 NHL season, Mr. Stewart signed a three-year entry level Standard Player Contract (“SPC”) with the Avalanche. Since then Mr. Stewart has earned six years of professional experience, and as such is eligible for salary arbitration in accordance with section 12.1 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”).1 As outlined in section 12.9(g) of the CBA, the following evidence may be introduced in support of an arbitration award: overall statistical performance of the player in previous season (both offensive and defensive statistics); the number of games played by the Player; the length of service of the player (in the league and/or with the club); the overall contribution of the Player to the competitive success or failure of the Club in the preceding season; any special qualities of leadership or public appeal; the overall performance and salary of players who are alleged to be comparable to the Player whose salary is in dispute.2 This brief will be address each of these points individually. 1 NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement, 2012, s. 12.1(a)-(c), available online: <http://cdn.agilitycms.com/nhlpacom/PDF/NHL_NHLPA_2013_CBA.pdf> 2 Ibid at s.12.9(g)(ii)(A)-(G). After having considered the evidence presented in this brief, it will be clear that Mr. Stewart’s statistical play, as well as his intangible assets, warrant a salary arbitration award of greater than $4.15 Million. II) Mr. Stewart’s Overall Performance A) Career Performance Table 1: Mr. Stewart’s career statistics Mr. Stewart has been a very effective player over the course of his career. Known for his physical play and sizeable presence, at 6’2” and 231 pounds3, Mr. Stewart has shown throughout his career a notable ability to score points. In his first full professional season with the Lake Erie Monsters, Mr. Stewart lead the team in goal scoring with 25 goals, finishing third in total points.4 While Mr. Stewart’s NHL career started off slowly, he finished with only 19 points in 53 games as a rookie (0.36 points/game), it is important to note that during that season the Avalanche finished last in the league, scoring a league low 199 goals.5 In the 2010/2011 season, he averaged 3 Ibid. 4 http://www.lakeeriemonsters.com/team/stats/ 5 http://avalanche.nhl.com/club/standings.htm?season=20082009&type=CON a career best 0.85 points per game, tying him with John Tavares for 40th overall in the league in this category.6 Furthermore, throughout Mr. Stewart’s career he has consistently been matched up against the opposing teams tougher players. Mr. Stewart’s Relative Corsi Quality of Competition (“RCQC”)7 is evidence of this fact, which has been above zero (0) for every season, with the exception of his rookie year, indicating that he is matched up against tougher competition than his fellow teammates.8 B) 2012/2013 Regular Season for Chris Stewart Table 2: Chris Stewart’s regular season statistics Mr. Stewart averaged 0.75 points per game during the regular season, finishing first on the team in goals (25th overall in the league) and points (David Backes scored the team’s second highest total, eight points less than Mr. Stewart)9. Furthermore, Mr. Stewart showed that he is a proficient point-producer on the power play, leading the team with 12 points and six goals.10 Although a productive offensive player, Mr. Stewart also had a good year defensively, finishing with 41 hits, 13 blocked shots, 13 takeaways.11 6 http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?fetchKey=20112ALLSASALL&viewName=points&sort=avgPointsPerGame&pg=2 7 The Relative Corsi Quality of Competition is used to compare the quality of competition when the player is on the ice. 8 http://www.behindthenet.ca/nhl_statistics.php?c=0+1+3+5+4+6+7+8+13+14+29+30+32+33+34+45+46+63+67&ds=1&f3=CHRISSTEWART &f1=2012_s+2012_p+2011_s+2011_p+2010_s+2009_s+2009_p+2008_s 9 http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?season=20122013&gameType=2&team=STL&position=S&country=&status=&viewName=summary# 10 http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?gameType=2&position=S&season=20122013&sort=powerPlayGoals&status=A&team=STL&viewNam e=scoringLeaders 11 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8473485&view=splits C) 2012/2013 Playoff for Chris Stewart Table 3: Chris Stewart’s playoff statistics Unfortunately, during the 2012/2013 playoffs, Mr. Stewart scored only one point and the Blues were eliminated in six games. It is important to note that while Mr. Stewart scored only one point in six games, the Blues struggled as a team scoring only 10 goals in the playoffs.12 III) Number of Games Played and Injury History As mentioned above, Mr. Stewart entered the NHL in 2008/2009 and since then has played 319 games of a possible 346.13 This amounts to an exceptionally low average of 5.4 missed games per season. On November 28th, 2010 during a fight against Kyle Brodziak of the Minnesota Wild, Mr. Stewart hit Mr. Brodziak’s helmet a number of times resulting in Mr. Stewart breaking his hand. This injury forced Mr. Stewart to miss 21 games.14 While this injury was serious it should not be weighed very heavily as it is not related to a chronic condition nor is there any reason to believe that it will occur again in the future. In his first full season with the Blues, Mr. Stewart averaged only 15:26 minutes per game.15 Mr. Stewart played 79 of a possible 82 games, missing only 3 games due to a suspension by the NHL for shoving Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall from behind. While Mr. 12 http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?fetchKey=20133STLSASALL&sort=goals&viewName=summary 13 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?id=5722 14 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/528623-chris-stewart-breaks-hand-in-fight-expected-to-be-out-until-2011 15 Ibid. Stewart is known for his physical play, this is his first and only suspension by the NHL.16 Mr. Stewart also played 7 playoff games, averaging only 10:47 minutes per game, during the Blues’ first round exit from the playoffs.17 In the most recent NHL season, Mr. Stewart played in all 48 games of the lockout-shortened season, averaging 15:39 minutes of ice-time.18 Once again the Blues made the playoffs only to be eliminated in the first round by the Los Angeles Kings. During this playoff run Mr. Stewart played in all six games, contributing 16:32 minutes of ice time per game. As shown above, Mr. Stewart is an extremely durable player with a limited injury history. Mr. Stewart has played in the vast majority of regular season games for both the Avalanche and Blues, and has not missed a playoff game with either club. IV) Length of Service As mentioned previously, Mr. Stewart was drafted by the Avalanche, in the first round, and played his first two and a half seasons with the club. During his time with the Avalanche Mr. Stewart played in 166 games before being traded to the St Louis Blues. In the subsequent two and half season with the Blues Mr. Stewart has amassed 153 games of experience.19 V) Overall Contribution to the Club As mentioned above, Mr. Stewart has been a significant offensive contributor, finishing with 18 goals in the most recent season. In percentage terms, Mr. Stewart scored 14% of the 16 http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=601861 17 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8473485&view=splits&season=20112012&gameType=3 18 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8473485&view=splits&season=20122013&gameType=2 19 http://blues.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8473485 Club’s goals, while averaging 2.17 points per 60 minutes of ice time.20 Mr. Stewart’s contributions to the Blues offense can be seen more clearly when comparing the 3.21 goals for while Mr. Stewart is on the ice, in comparison to the 1.78 goals for while Mr. Stewart is off the ice.21 Since the hiring of Coach Ken Hitchcock on November 6th, 2011, the Blues have achieved a great deal of success as a club, a great deal of which is due to their defensive play. Not only has Mr. Stewart contributed offensively but he has been successful at stopping the opposition’s tougher players (as shown by his RCQC of 0.67222), having an on-ice plus/minus of 0.28 per 60 minutes of ice time in comparison to the teams 0.00 plus/minutes when he was off the ice. VI) Special Qualities of Leadership or Public Appeal Mr. Stewart brings toughness and intensity to the Blues line-up. As a power forward Mr. Stewart is often called upon to defend his teammates, which is shown by the fact that he has a history of fighting.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.

  • Evaluating Team-Level Pace of Play in Ice Hockey Using Spatio
    Playing Fast Not Loose: Evaluating team-level pace of play in ice hockey using spatio-temporal possession data David Yu*, Christopher Boucher, Luke Bornn, Mehrsan Javan SPORTLOGiQ, Montreal, Quebec, Canada *Email: [email protected] 1. Introduction Pace of play is an important characteristic in ice hockey as well as other team-invasion sports. While in basketball pace has traditionally been defined as the number of possessions per 48 minutes, here we focus on pace and movement within a possession, leveraging the tremendous advancements in the capture of spatio-temporal data in team sports in recent years [1]. While much attention has been focused on speed and distance covered at the player level, spatio-temporal datasets also allow for more granular definitions of team-level pace of play such as measures of the speed between successive events or the speed of a possession as a whole. While ice hockey has always been one of the fastest-moving sports, rule and tactical changes in the past 15 years, such as the removal of the rule limiting 2-line passes and the stricter enforcement of obstruction/holding infractions, have placed further emphasis on pace. At the start of the 2016-17 NHL season, Paul Maurice, head coach of the Winnipeg Jets said: "This game is just so fast now... I've seen fast players and I've seen fast teams, it's the first time I thought we had a fast league. The speed, to me, is the one thing that’s changed more than anything. Our team, and the league as well, is as fast as I’ve ever seen it.” [2] Given the emphasis on pace in hockey in recent years, it is surprising that a recent study found a slight negative correlation between various metrics of forward attacking pace and offensive output such as shots and goals [3].

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips February 19, 2017 Sabres' winning streak starts at the top By John Vogl The Buffalo News February 18, 2017 Ryan O’Reilly regularly puts the onus on himself. He says it’s up to him to lead the Sabres to victory. He’s partially right. Buffalo’s highest-paid player and No. 1 center certainly needs to carry the load. He’s not the only one. The Sabres also have Jack Eichel, Evander Kane, Kyle Okposo, Rasmus Ristolainen and Robin Lehner at the top of the leadership group. “Those are the guys that have to get it done for us,” coach Dan Bylsma said Saturday. During a 3-2 victory over St. Louis, those six players combined for two goals, six points and 37 saves.
