  • 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.

  • Flying Wasn't Fun, and for a Number of Years It Fit Right in with Everything
    F IFTY IS A BIG NUMBER Flying wasn’t fun, and for a number of years it fit right in with everything else around the team. We just weren’t enjoying the game. For all three of those years that I hit the 50 mark, it was almost like if our line didn’t score we had no chance of winning the game. Billy and Danny Daoust and Tom Fergus, the three centres I played with over those years—I had great chemistry with all of them. But a lot of nights it felt like we were on our own. And I hated losing more than I liked winning. That’s the way I was as a kid; I didn’t like losing at anything. To put those seasons in historical perspective, a number of Leafs had gotten close to 50 in years past: Frank Mahovlich had his 48 goals, and then Lanny McDonald had seasons with 46, 47 and 43; Darryl had 45 one year. And then Gary Leeman scored 51 during the 1989–90 season. Dave Andreychuk became the third Leaf to do it, in 1992–93, although there’s an asterisk of sorts next to that one because he scored 29 of the goals with Buffalo, and then 25 with the Leafs over 83 games. The next season, he scored 53, all of them with the Leafs. So, just the three of us. So far. John Tavares, the current Leafs captain, had 47 in Toronto in 2018–19, and Auston Matthews had 47 and counting in 70 games, on pace for 55, when the 2019–20 season was paused by the 97 Vaiv_9780735280298_all_5p_r1.indd 97 2020-09-09 2:00 PM CATCH 22 COVID-19 virus.

To mark the selection, the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation has made a $5,000 donation in Nick’s name to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. In addition to joining his teammates for visits to Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, Nick hosts numerous meet-and-greets at Nationwide Arena with kids and families in need of distraction from challenging circumstances. On the ice, Nick’s goal production correlates with a donation to the Janis Foligno Foundation thanks to the Papa John’s Foligno 500 for which $500 is pledged for every goal Nick scores. Away from the rink, Nick and his family also participated in the Central Ohio Congenital Heart Walk and the JDRF One Walk in support of Team Emilia (Kekalainen). In his adopted hometown of Sudbury, Ontario, Nick serves as honorary chair of NEO Kids Foundation, Northeastern Ontario’s hub for specialized children’s care located at Health Sciences North in Greater Sudbury.

  • Player Pairs Valuation in Ice Hockey
    Player pairs valuation in ice hockey Dennis Ljung Niklas Carlsson Patrick Lambrix Link¨opingUniversity, Sweden Abstract. To overcome the shortcomings of simple metrics for evalu- ating player performance, recent works have introduced more advanced metrics that take into account the context of the players' actions and per- form look-ahead. However, as ice hockey is a team sport, knowing about individual ratings is not enough and coaches want to identify players that play particularly well together. In this paper we therefore extend earlier work for evaluating the performance of players to the related problem of evaluating the performance of player pairs. We experiment with data from seven NHL seasons, discuss the top pairs, and present analyses and insights based on both the absolute and relative ice time together. Keywords: Sports analytics · Data mining · Player valuation. 1 Introduction In the field of sports analytics, many works focus on evaluating the performance of players. A commonly used method to do this is to attribute values to the different actions that players perform and sum up these values every time a player performs these actions. These summary statistics can be computed over, for instance, games or seasons. In ice hockey, common summary metrics include the number of goals, assists, points (assists + goals) and the plus-minus statistics (+/-), in which 1 is added when the player is on the ice when the player's team scores (during even strength play) and 1 is subtracted when the opposing team scores (during even strength). More advanced measures are, for instance, Corsi and Fenwick1. However, these metrics do not capture the context of player actions and the impact they have on the outcome of later actions.

  • What Is the Value of an Action in Ice Hockey? Learning a Q-Function for the NHL
    What is the Value of an Action in Ice Hockey? Learning a Q-function for the NHL Oliver Schulte, Zeyu Zhao, and Kurt Routley Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada {oschulte}@cs.sfu.ca Abstract. Recent work has applied the Markov Game formalism from AI to model game dynamics for ice hockey, using a large state space. Dy- namic programming is used to learn action-value functions that quantify the impact of actions on goal scoring. Learning is based on a massive dataset that contains over 2.8M events in the National Hockey League. As an application of the Markov model, we use the learned action val- ues to measure the impact of player actions on goal scoring. Players are ranked according to the aggregate goal impact of their actions. We show that this ranking is consistent across across seasons, and compare it with previous player metrics, such as plus-minus and total points. 1 Introduction This paper describes and extends a recent approach to sports analytics that applies advanced concepts from Artificial Intelligence to model game dynamics. This approach models game dynamics using Markov games [4], a multi-agent extension of Markov Decision Processes. A Markov game model can answer a fundamental question about a sport: Which actions contribute to winning in what situation? We approach this question for ice hockey by learning an action-value func- tion, or Q-function, for a Markov game model of the National Hockey League (NHL). In reinforcement learning (RL) notation, the expression Q(s; a) denotes the expected reward of taking action a in state s.
