The proposal, which makes the ADM principals mandatory at 8 and Under levels in Michigan, got three more than the neces- sary two-thirds of the MAHA directors’ votes (39-16) on July 10 in a roll-call vote, after being amended several times. The most contentious issue of the pro- posal is that it mandates almost exclusive half-ice and cross-ice play for Mites (7- and 8-year-olds). The debate has split MAHA – the District 4 Council ran ads against the proposal in Hockey Weekly – and had sparked a threatened movement from MAHA Hockey Weekly photos by John Castine to another governing body by many if the From left, Wyandotte Warriors Hockey Association President Lee Shifflett gives his opinion on the ADM principles proposal.

Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen.

When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death­twice. 9781629370491 Pub Date: 11/1/14 Author Bio Ship Date: 11/1/14 Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender with the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. $25.95 Hardcover Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, he now divides his time between Calgary, where he is the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, and his ranch in Nevada.

  • RED WINGS DJ SPINS a SPELL at the JOE HE KNOWS WHAT MUSIC WILL SCORE with the CROWD DAVID LYMAN FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER It's Supposed to Be Frenzied
    RED WINGS DJ SPINS A SPELL AT THE JOE HE KNOWS WHAT MUSIC WILL SCORE WITH THE CROWD DAVID LYMAN FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER It's supposed to be frenzied. It's Saturday afternoon, and the Red Wings are about to face off against their arch-rivals, the Colorado Avalanche, and Joe Louis Arena is packed; more than 20,000 fans have crowded in. There's been a dazzling pregame show with rink-size projections of the Wings and the appearance of a monstrous octopus three times the size of the one that usually hangs from the Joe Louis Arena ceiling. But the fans are oddly silent. "It's a nervous crowd," observes a Red Wings staff member on the in-house communication system. Then, the Wings' seventh man steps in. He has no stick, no skates, no pads. Just eight tape decks, a box ful of mini-discs and a musical sense as attuned to the fans' moods as Dominik Hasek's on-ice sense is to the Avalanche offensive line. Tim Campbell -- T, as he's known professionally -- grabs a mini-disc off the top of his console, hurriedly spins a couple of knurled knobs and suddenly, the arena is filled with the furious sound of "The Launch," a hard-driving piece of techno by DJ Jean. The video screen above center ice screams "NOISE," and the crowd erupts. They're on their feet, bellowing so loud they threaten to send the Red Wings' Noise-o-meter ricocheting to the top of scale. And just as immediately, the game on the ice gets into high gear, the thumping and pounding every bit as intense as the sounds blaring out of the public address system.
