  • A Fleet Transformed Just Five Members of the Relocated Atlanta Thrashers
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/a-fleet-transformed-449138983.html A fleet transformed Just five members of the relocated Atlanta Thrashers are still flying Jets colours seven years later as the rebuilt youthful, speedy squadron prepares for takeoff with soaring expectations By: Jason Bell Let’s hop in the time machine and program the date to Oct. 9, 2011. Winnipeg is buzzing over the return of the NHL, and the puck is about to drop on the inaugural season of the Jets 2.0 at the barn on Portage Avenue. The Montreal Canadiens are the visitors as Bryan Little, Blake Wheeler, Andrew Ladd, Dustin Byfuglien and Toby Enstrom line up for the opening faceoff. A tall, slender teen named Mark Scheifele is on the bench during the national anthem and will make his NHL debut just 3:05 into the first period. Ondrej Pavelec guards the net, offering the last line of protection against the Habs. There’s great hope surrounding the former Atlanta Thrashers — an eclectic mix of veterans, including two with Stanley Cup rings, and a reasonable crop of talented youngsters. Much of that initial excitement is little more than misguided, blind faith in a team that possesses a few key pieces, but is severely short on roster depth and the prospects cupboard is nearly bare. The Montreal Canadiens bring a shot of reality to the thunderous, electrified celebration at the MTS Centre that historic Sunday afternoon, beating the Jets 5-1. Credit the transplanted group for finishing the season with a respectable 37-35-10 record in the Southeast Division, rocking it at home at 23-13-5.

Thus was born the registered, non-profit society known as the BC Hockey Benevolent Association (BCHBA). Since then, the BCHBA was re-named as the Vancouver Canucks Alumni Association. Since that time, the VCAA has expanded in membership and reach. Over the last five decades, the group has helped raise millions of dollars for British Columbia charities through various events on and off the ice. The Alumni work closely with the NHL Canucks in most of the team’s charitable and community fundraisers and operate a schedule of their own, predominately charity hockey games and golf tournaments . not just in the Lower Mainland but throughout the Province. One of the largest and most active alumni groups in the National Hockey League Alumni Association, WHO ARE WE? the VCAA includes over 140 members living primarily in the Lower Mainland. The group is unique, in that it is proud to include former players that never donned a Canucks jersey during their playing careers, such as Bill Ranford, Mark Lofthouse and Gary Nylund as well as those who have made a lasting difference in the success of the Vancouver Canucks franchise like Hall of Fame broadcaster, Jim Robson.

Researchers have developed a variety of advanced statistics to assist general managers and coaches in evaluating player actions. These advanced statistics fail to account for the context in which an action occurs or to look ahead to the long-term effects of an action. I apply the Markov Game formalism to play-by-play events recorded in the National Hockey League to develop a novel approach to valuing player actions.

  • Jets Complete Western Road Trip with 4-2 Win Over Canucks
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-heading-for-home-after-4-2-win- over-canucks-450714823.html Jets complete western road trip with 4-2 win over Canucks By: Jason Bell VANCOUVER – The Winnipeg Jets are heading home in finer shape than when they left, gaining a major injection of confidence after a pair of valuable NHL victories out west. Their latest accomplishment? Sparked by a pair of late goals in the second period, the Jets earned a 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night. Connor Hellebuyck, making his second-straight start between the pipes, made 30 saves as the Jets (2-2-0) posted another sound performance on the road, after dumping the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Monday. He had a great vantage point to see the tidy effort. "We're grinding teams down. We're getting pucks deep and we're grinding on their (defence)," said Hellebuyck. "We're being simple when we need to be simple, and then when we have a chance our skill comes out. You can't argue we have a lot of skill on this team, but knowing when to use it is key and that's what we've been doing lately. Vancouver winger Daniel Sedin and Jets' blue-liner Josh Morrissey traded goals in the first period. Finnish-born rifleman Patrik Laine and defenceman Tyler Myers pumped pucks past Canucks' starter Jacob Markstrom as the visitors built a two-goal lead after 40 minutes. Laine scored his second of the year on a laser from the slot with just over four minutes left in the second period.
