  • 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.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 14, 2018 Stamkos breaks late tie, Lightning beat Sabres 5-3 The Associated Press January 13, 2019 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Steven Stamkos broke a tie with 5:16 remaining in the NHL-leading Tampa Bay Lightning’s 5-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Ondrej Palat and Ryan Callahan also scored, and Louis Domingue stopped 30 shots. The Lightning have won 18 of their last 20. Sam Reinhart, Tage Thompson and Marco Scandella scored for Buffalo. Scandella gave Buffalo a 3-2 lead at 5:54 of the third, chipping home a pass from Jason Pominville from close range. Just 23 seconds later, the Lightning took advantage of a bad giveaway by Sabres defenseman Lawrence Pilut, and Stamkos found Kucherov for his 22nd goal of the season. Stamkos then put Tampa Bay ahead for good late, taking a drop pass from Kucherov and firing a hard shot to Ullmark’s blocker side. Sabres head to Western Canada looking to repeat last year's success By Mike Harrington The Buffalo News January 13, 2019 The Western Canada road trip was a rare bright spot for the Buffalo Sabres last season. They're desperately in need of similar success this year. The Sabres hit the skies for Edmonton Sunday, where they'll open their annual three-game trip Monday night in Rogers Place against the Oilers. The road has not been kind for Buffalo of late, as the Sabres are just 1-6-2 in their last nine games outside of KeyBank Center and have dropped four straight.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 26, 2016 Brassard has career-high 5 points, Rangers beat Sabres 6-3 By Tom Canavan AP January 26, 2016 NEW YORK (AP) — Derick Brassard ended a month of scoring woes with the best night by a New York Rangers' player in five years. Brassard scored two goals, set up crucial third-period tallies by J.T. Miller and Mats Zuccarello and finished with a career-best five points while the Rangers blew a two-goal lead and came back to beat Buffalo 6-3 Monday night for their eighth straight win over the Sabres. "We knew it was only a matter of time," Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh said of Brassard, who has battled a flu bug. "You get a tough illness like that, it's tough to get your body back to feeling the way you want to feel as a hockey player. It's great to see him break through before the break." Brassard is the first Ranger to tally five points in a game since Ryan Callahan on Mar. 6, 2011 vs. Philadelphia (four goals, one assist). He also is the first to have four points in one period since Sean Avery on Mar. 17, 2007 vs. Boston. "For me, I have been struggling the last two weeks to find some offense and I hope this will give me some confidence," said Brassard, who had two goals and an assist in his last 11 games. Miller said playing with Brassard has been great. "If you asked him he probably wished over the last couple of games he could have brought more production but at the same time, he plays the same way every game," Miller said.
