I’ve been going on the ice a lot lately. I can already see a big difference. I can’t wait until the end of the summer when everything’s going to be done and I’m going to go on the ice in Anaheim to see what Ducks prospect Benoit-Olivier Groulx on embracing his possible NHL it’s like. role: ‘I’m a power forward with talent’ How much skating do you typically like to do during the offseason? I would say in July, I was on the ice maybe twice or three times a week. By Eric Stephens Aug 10, 2021 But in August, I want to go a little bit more on the ice and really get ready for the training camp. I think I’m going to go three, four times a week. A little bit of power skating. A little bit of skill sessions so I’ll be ready for the camp. Benoit-Olivier Groulx had just finished one workout when it was time to do a telephone interview from a gym in Chateauguay, Quebec, where he Die-hard fans and those who have followed you since your junior days works out with strength and conditioning coach Sebastien Lagrange.

I would say I’m a power forward with talent. I can play defensively and If only he were finished. offensively. I’m a two-way guy. I can play (penalty kill) and I can play power play. I can produce, I can defend. I think that’s mostly my type of “I got another one coming up in a half-hour,” Groulx said, giving this game. If I can compare myself to someone in the NHL, I would look at interviewer a kind warning that there’s a time limit to this phone call. guys like Anthony Cirelli, Nazem Kadri, Brayden Schenn — all those This was one of the heavy training days that make up the 21-year-old’s guys who can have an impact offensively and that can play against a big offseason. Every training camp is important for an NHL hopeful, but when line on the other side and shut them down. I think that’s going to be my the Ducks take to the Great Park Ice on Sept. 23, Groulx wants to be in role at the next level.

I take a lot of pride in my defensive game, honestly. I know I can be a pest to play against, especially for the top players on the other side. I Judging by his upward trajectory, Groulx is closer than ever. Anaheim think it starts right on the faceoff dot. If I can win a lot of faceoffs, if I can made the 6-foot-2, 194-pound center a second-round pick in the 2018 disturb their focus a little bit – all the good centermen on the other side – draft after his second season with the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec I think it all starts there.

  • 1989 NFHL Season Preview
    1989 NFHL Season Preview With the 1970s a distant memory and the 1980s soon to follow, the NFHL is getting ready to kick of its 19th season. Back in 1970, it was announced that a new professional hockey league would be opening its doors, and in 1971 the first league champion was crowned, with the St. Louis Blues bringing home the inaugural SMJ Cup. Back then, there were only 16 franchises, and the regular season was a mere 60 games long. Now, nearly two decades later, and with a vastly different landscape, the NFHL is finish off the 80s and move into their 3rd decade of play. The league has now expanded four different times, up to 24 teams, and the regular season has lengthened by 25%, while the playoffs now require 16 victories, rather than 12. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves thinking about the 1990s, it’s time to break down the upcoming 1989 season, where the Montreal Canadiens seek to become the first ever three-peat champion in NFHL history. 1 New York Islanders 2 Philadelphia Flyers 3 New York Rangers 4 New Jersey Devils 5 Pittsburgh Penguins 6 Washington Capitals The cream of the crop. The Gold Standard. The most dominant team in NFHL history. For nearly two full decades, the New York Islanders, previously the California Golden Seals, have been atop the standings, while bringing home four SMJ Cups. In many ways, 1988 was a pivotal season for the Islanders. It’s no secret that the team has been getting older, and the core has stayed the same for years.
