Rypien Would Have Loved Mental Wellness Summit, Says Jets Assistant GM Assistant Jets GM Says Mental Wellness Event Sure to Have Been Big Hit with Ex- Moose Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/rypien-would-be-loving-it-472060843.html Rypien would have loved mental wellness summit, says Jets assistant GM Assistant Jets GM says mental wellness event sure to have been big hit with ex- Moose By: Randy Turner The legacy of Rick Rypien was alive and well Wednesday at Burton Cummings Theatre. More than 1,500 grade-school students filled the theatre to take part in the first Project 11 Mental Health Wellness Summit, another milestone in the memory of Rypien, the former Manitoba Moose and Vancouver Canucks player who died Aug. 15, 2011, just before he was to arrive in Winnipeg as a member of the NHL’s Jets. Rypien, 27, who for years had struggled with severe depression, had taken his own life. For Jets assistant general manager Craig Heisinger — who first signed Rypien to a Moose contract in 2005 as an undrafted free agent and later worked tirelessly to help the player deal with his illness — Wednesday was a happy occasion. Heisinger was surveying the crowd just before taking the stage to speak — along with Jets players Nikolaj Ehlers and Bryan Little, Team Canada soccer Olympian Desiree Scott and former CFL player Shea Emry — when someone asked what Rypien would have thought of a theatre full of children celebrating mental wellness. "He would be absolutely thrilled," Heisinger said, smiling. "He’d be laughing his ass off that I have to do it. But this is tenfold what he would have expected. It’s remarkable." Following the morning session, another 1,500 students attended an afternoon session featuring Moose goaltender Eric Comrie. When Project 11 was launched by the True North Youth Foundation in 2014, there were 88 teachers and 2,024 students signed up for the program, designed to provide youth with the tools to deal with anxiety and stress. Today, there are more than 570 teachers and 11,500 students across Manitoba who are taking Project 11 curriculum as part of their classes. (True North Sports and Entertainment Ltd. owns the Jets and Moose.) Suzi Friesen, director of educational programs for TNYF, said the wellness program provides videos — many featuring professional hockey players — promoting a combination of fitness, nutrition and coping strategies to students grades 5 through 8. Also, stressing the importance of friendships and encouraging children to not only express their feelings, but for others to listen. Other lessons involve healthy communication, the importance of friendship and resiliency. "I think we’ve come to a time when teachers are open to talking about these important issues with their students," Friesen said. "I think a lot of us adults can think about a time when we were back in school and maybe wish that we were taught some coping strategies. "We all have our stories and we want to encourage students to feel like they’re not alone and... not have them feeling stuck and holding onto some of those anxious feelings." The summit, she added, was simply a culmination of the program’s growth. "Having 3,000 students here today is very exciting, just to be under one roof and share some important messages that we’ve been learning about. We would love it to be an annual thing." During the summit, the foundation was presented with a $10,000 grant from Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund by Dan McKeen, vice-chairman of Bell MTS. Friesen said the money will be used to expand Project 11 into northern Manitoba schools. Dan Bohemier, a teacher from Norquay School in Winnipeg, said it has come to the point in today’s society, "If you’re not talking about mental health, you’re actually doing your kids a disservice. Everyone needs to know what are some things they can do when life is hard. "The more we can get our students to talk about things that are bothering them, the more successful they’re going to be at school," Bohemier said. "Anyone feels anxiety, it doesn’t matter how old you are. These kids need to have tools to help them succeed in life, especially if they’re coming from homes and places where they have experienced trauma." Involving Jets and Moose players in the video component of the program doesn’t hurt, either, in a hockey town. "They infuse hockey into a lot of the curriculum, which appeals to lots of our kids," Bohemier said. "It’s just another piece that keeps kids engaged." Little and Ehlers were on stage in a round-table session with TSN broadcaster Sara Orlesky, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and friendship. "They’re people you can talk to whether you’re having a good day or a bad day," Little said. "We’re like a little family in the rink and in the dressing room. "Sometimes, you want to hold things in. As you get older, you realize that might not be the best thing. It’s important to get things off your chest." Added Ehlers, on dealing with rough patches: "It’s not easy. You want to go out there and do you’re best every single time and when you’re not able to do that, you get down a little. That’s why you have your teammates." As for Heisinger, he said the results of Project 11 were sitting in the theatre seats. All 3,000 of them. "I think the tangible way we see it help is just by the group that’s here today," he said. "But the most tangible way, other than an event like this, is when you speak in a smaller setting to maybe 200 or 300 kids. Seven years ago, when you did (that), maybe two or three kids hung around to talk to you. Now when you do that same group of 200 or 300 kids and 10 or 15 kids come to talk to you or hang around. "And they don’t necessarily mill around anymore, they come with a purpose. You know that mental wellness hasn’t increased significantly over that time... but we’re starting to slowly remove the stigma that it’s no different than saying I sprained my ankle or broke my leg. It’s okay to talk about. That’s the tangible part." Heisinger said Rypien was his first known experience with someone suffering from severe depression, and he’s encouraged by the strides made in awareness in just a few years. "I don’t think we all realized what we were learning at the time," he said. "Maybe he was preparing us for this, but didn’t tell us." Either way, the pain remains. Heisinger was emotional discussing the loss of Rypien seven years ago. He’s just as emotional today. "You think it would be easier. Why is it not? I don’t know," Heisinger reasoned. "Would it be better if it (was easier)? I don’t have the answer to that, either. I just think this is a topic that hits home for me." Heisinger paused, fighting back tears while rubbing his hand on the Project 11 patch on his chest, over his heart. "And Ryper was a friend of mine," he said, finally. "And he’s still a friend of mine. Those type of relationships, when you’re invested in them, just don’t go away." https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-vs-golden-knights-an-unlikely-battle- of-first-place-teams-472016473.html Best in the West: who called that? Jets vs. Golden Knights an unlikely battle of first-place teams By: Mike McIntyre Even the Amazing Kreskin couldn’t have seen this coming. The calendar has flipped to February and the Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights are both first-place clubs, and they’ll face off tonight at Bell MTS Place with Western Conference supremacy on the line. Yes, these are the same Winnipeg Jets who have but one playoff appearance in their first six seasons since returning to the NHL. Yes, these are the same Vegas Golden Knights made up of a collection of castoffs thrown together last summer in the expansion draft. But the numbers don’t lie. Winnipeg (30-13-8) is on top of the Central Division, while Vegas (33- 12-4) has soared to the top of the Pacific Division. Just two points separate the Jets and Golden Knights. "I’ve watched Vegas play a fair amount, and they do so many things almost in a veteran way," Jets head coach Paul Maurice said Wednesday after putting his team through a 45-minute practice. "They have a confidence in their game, which I guess just continues to build because they’ve had so much success in doing the right things — simply, but very, very quickly." Winnipeg is coming off an impressive 3-1 victory Tuesday over the Tampa Bay Lightning, the NHL’s No. 1 team, as the Jets kicked off a 10-game homestand. But the task doesn’t get any easier with Vegas, the No. 2 outfit in the league, up next on the docket. "They move the puck efficiently, they make plays," Maurice said. "They have lots of confidence. There’s a high skill level throughout their lineup. They just move really well as a group of five, and they really don’t force things. They don’t have to. They score enough goals, they’ve got enough confidence in their game. What they’ve figured out really well is if you skate fast and you got skill, you’re going to be a pretty good team in this league.

  • Injuries Continue to Plague Jets Seven Wounded Players Missed Saturday's Game
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/injuries-continue-to-keep-jets-in-sick- bay-476497963.html?k=QAPMqC Injuries continue to plague Jets Seven wounded players missed Saturday's game By: Mike McIntyre WASHINGTON — Is there a doctor in the house? It’s been a common refrain for the Winnipeg Jets lately, as they just can’t seem to get close to a full, healthy lineup. Seven players were out due to injury in Saturday’s 2-1 loss in Philadelphia. Here’s what we know about all of them, with further updates expected today as the Jets return to action with a morning skate and then their game in Washington against the Capitals. Mark Scheifele has missed two games with a suspected shoulder injury, and there will be no rushing him back into action. He’s considered day-to-day at this point, and coach Paul Maurice had said last week he was a possibility to play either tonight, or tomorrow in Nashville. But don’t bet on it. Defenceman Toby Enstrom is battling a lower-body issue which kept him out for four games, saw him return in New Jersey last Thursday and then be back out on Saturday. Maurice said it’s a nagging thing that can change day-to-day, so his status is very much a question mark. Defenceman Dmitry Kulikov missed Saturday’s game after getting hurt Thursday in New Jersey. Maurice hasn’t said how long he could be out, only that it’s upper-body. Goalie Steve Mason has been sent back to Winnipeg for further testing on a lower-body injury he suffered late in the game against the New York Rangers last Tuesday, which was his first game back from his second concussion of the season.

    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.

    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.

  • Substance Abuse and Addictions Management
    SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTIONS MANAGEMENT Substance abuse , also known as drug abuse , is a patterned use of a substance (drug) in which the user consumes the substance in amounts or with methods neither approved nor supervised by medical professionals. Substance abuse/drug abuse is not limited to mood-altering or psycho-active drugs. If an activity is performed using the objects against the rules and policies of the matter (as in steroids for performance enhancement in sports), it is also called substance abused. Therefore, mood-altering and psychoactive substances are not the only types of drug abuse. Using illicit drugs – narcotics, stimulants, depressants (sedatives), hallucinogens, cannabis, even glues and paints, are also considered to be classified as drug/substance abuse. [2] Substance abuse often includes problems with impulse control and impulsive behaviour. The term "drug abuse" does not exclude dependency, but is otherwise used in a similar manner in nonmedical contexts. The terms have a huge range of definitions related to taking a psychoactive drug or performance enhancing drug for a non- therapeutic or non-medical effect. All of these definitions imply a negative judgment of the drug use in question (compare with the term responsible drug use for alternative views). Some of the drugs most often associated with this term include alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines (particularly temazepam, nimetazepam, and flunitrazepam), cocaine, methaqualone, and opioids. Use of these drugs may lead to criminal penalty in addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm, both strongly depending on local jurisdiction. [3] There are many cases in which criminal or antisocial behavior occur when the person is under the influence of a drug.

  • The Daughtry Times Identification No
    Volume 7 Edition 8 | 2012-13 Academic School Year SUBSCRIPTION: 38 of 38 | The Daughtry Times Identification No. 242 In Lawsuit Over Death, “The Enforcer’s” Family Blames the NHL Friday, May 17, 2013 | John Branch, The New York Times The family of Derek Boogaard has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the National Hockey League. It contends that the N.H.L. is responsible for the physical trauma and brain damage that Boogaard sustained during six seasons as one of the league’s top enforcers, and for the addiction to prescription painkillers that marked his final two years. Boogaard was under contract to the Rangers when he was found dead of an accidental overdose of prescription painkillers and alcohol on May 13, 2011. He was 28. He was posthumously found to have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E., a brain disease caused by repeated blows to the head. “To distill this to one sentence,” said William Gibbs, a lawyer for the Boogaards, “you take a young man, you subject him to trauma, you give him pills for that trauma, he becomes addicted to those pills, you promise to treat him for that addiction, and you fail.” The N.H.L., through a spokesman, declined to comment Sunday. In 55 pages of detailed accusations, the suit does not seek specific damages to be awarded to Boogaard’s parents and four siblings. It asks that a trial jury determine “a sum in excess of the minimum jurisdictional limit” for each of eight counts in the suit. The suit was filed late Friday by the Chicago law firm of Corboy & Demetrio in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Ill.
