Miscellaneous.Pdf Television and Broadcast TELEVISION In June 2016, the Sabres and MSG Networks announced a new, long-term rights agreement for Buffalo Sabres games and the creation of “MSG Western New York,” a comprehensive programming partnership that will air new content relating to the Sabres and other Pegula Sports and Entertainment properties on MSG in Western New York. In the 2019-20 season, the Sabres and MSG will continue their partnership in which MSG will own the exclusive local rights to telecast the team’s games. MSG Networks, an industry leader in production and technology, is the nation’s longest- running regional sports network and part of Madison Square Garden L.P. All Sabres telecasts on MSG are produced and broadcast by the team’s in-house broadcasting team and feature the Sabres broadcasters and analysts exclusively. Calling the action on MSG telecasts and on WGR 550 AM are Foster Hewitt Award winner and Sabres Hall-of-Famer Rick Jeanneret, who embarks on his 49th year behind the microphone in 2019-20, and veteran broadcaster Dan Dunleavy, who returns for his seventh season with the Sabres’ broadcast team. In addition to his play-by-play duties, Dunleavy will contribute to the Sabres’ pre- and post-game shows and to Sabres.com. Rob Ray, a 16-year veteran of Sabres broadcasts, is in his eighth season as the full-time color analyst. After joining the broadcast team in 2003- 04, Ray served as a second color analyst and the “between-the-glass” reporter for eight seasons before stepping into his current role. In his role as color analyst, Ray remains at ice level to provide a close-up perspective of the game’s action. Brian Duff, who joined the Sabres broadcast team in 2011-12, will again serve as the full-time in-game host for all Sabres broadcasts on MSG. In that role, Duff will host the pregame show the post-game report and the intermission reports between periods. Former Sabres goaltender Martin Biron returns for his third season with the Sabres’ broadcast, providing in-depth analysis before, during and after games alongside Duff. Buffalo Sabres hockey on MSG is produced by Joe Pinter and directed by Eric Grossman. RICK JEANNERET | PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER Currently the longest-tenured broadcaster in hockey, Rick Jeanneret will begin his 49th year behind the microphone calling the action for Buffalo Sabres games. Jeanneret was the 2012 recipient of the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award – the most prestigious award given to hockey broadcasters – and was formally recognized by the Hockey Hall of Fame in November 2012. He was inducted into the Sabres Hall of Fame in 2011 and was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in fall 2012. With his vast knowledge of the game and his unwavering enthusiasm for hockey, Jeanneret’s distinct voice has been synonymous with the Buffalo Sabres for over four decades. He began his prolific career with the Sabres in the 1971-72 season as the club’s radio play-by-play announcer and served primarily in that role until 1995, when he began calling the action for the team’s televised games as well. His memorable calls and player nicknames have become forever linked with Sabres history for generations of fans. Jeanneret’s career officially began in 1963, when the St. Catharines, Ontario native filled in for the regular announcer at a Niagara Falls Flyers (Junior A) game. He went on to become the color analyst for one season before moving to the play-by-play position in 1965. Jeanneret currently resides in Niagara Falls, Ontario with his wife, Sandra. Rick has two sons, Mark and Chris. DAN DUNLEAVY | PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCER/REPORTER Prior to joining the Sabres broadcast team in 2013, Dan Dunleavy spent 19 years at Sportsnet Radio and The Fan 590 Toronto. In addition to filling in as a play-by-play voice for the Sabres in the 2010-11 season, Dunleavy’s experience includes nine years of play-by-play for the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, the 2008 IIHF World Hockey Championship in Halifax and Quebec City, Men’s and Women’s Hockey at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the OHL’s Mississauga Majors, and Canadian Hockey League and American Hockey League games on Rogers Sportsnet. The Toronto native has also called soccer and lacrosse games, serving as the play-by-play voice for the National Lacrosse League’s Toronto Rock on The Fan 590 and the radio and television play-by-play voice for Toronto FC on Sportsnet TV/Radio and TSN 1050 Radio. Dunleavy currently resides in Fort Erie, Ontario with his wife, Brenda. 327 Television and Broadcast ROB RAY | COLOR ANALYST Rob Ray, who begins his 16th season on Buffalo Sabres broadcasts, will be entering his eighth season as the full-time color analyst for all Sabres games this season. After joining the broadcast team in 2003-04, Ray has served as a color analyst and the “between-the-benches” reporter for the past 15 years. In his role as color analyst, Ray will remain at ice level to provide a close-up perspective of the game’s action. Ray’s hockey expertise stems from his 16-year NHL career as a right wing, 14 seasons of which were spent with the Sabres. Known for his toughness on the ice, Ray ranks sixth in NHL history for career penalty minutes (3,207) and holds the Sabres’ team record in the same category with 3,189 penalty minutes. Ray played in 900 total NHL games during his career and 889 games with the Sabres, the fourth-most in franchise history. Despite being one of the game’s toughest enforcers, Ray was also awarded the NHL’s King Clancy Memorial Award in 1999 for his leadership and humanitarianism. He remains as one of the Sabres’ most active alumni, currently serving as president of the Sabres Alumni Association. Ray and his wife, Julianne, live in Grand Island, New York with their son, Rob Jr., and their daughter, Jordan. BRIAN DUFF | STUDIO HOST A 28-year broadcasting veteran, Brian Duff begins his seventh full season as the studio host for all Buffalo Sabres broadcasts. He joined the broadcast team in 2011-12 on a part-time basis in the same role for many of the team’s road games. Duff came to the Sabres after spending five seasons with the NHL Network, most recently as host of NHL on the Fly and NHL Tonight. Prior to joining NHL Network, Duff spent six years as the pre- and post-game host for Toronto Maple Leafs hockey on Leafs TV. His extensive hockey broadcasting career also includes stints as the radio host for pre- and post-game coverage of the Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers and radio game analyst for the Senators and the WHL’s Medicine Hat Tigers. In addition, Duff has provided play-by-play for the National Lacrosse League on Versus and TSN, including the 2010 and 2011 championship games. He worked at The Score as an anchor and reporter and provided play-by-play for Ottawa Rebel lacrosse and the Mann Cup. Duff has also freelanced for multiple media outlets including ESPN and the Associated Press. Duff, who grew up in Whitby, Ontario, holds a broadcasting diploma from Mount Royal College in Calgary and currently resides in Hamburg, New York with his wife, Leilon, and their children, Isabelle and Rhiannon. MARTY BIRON | STUDIO ANALYST Martin Biron is in his third season as the studio analyst for the Buffalo Sabres after being named to the position in August 2017. His primary role is to serve as an analyst alongside Brian Duff during the pregame, intermission and postgame portions of the broadcast. Biron will also provide in-game analysis at select times both at ice level and in the broadcast booth. Biron was the Sabres’ first-round pick in the 1995 NHL Draft and went on to rank fourth in franchise history among goaltenders with 300 games played in his nine seasons with the club. In 2007, he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers and led the team to the 2008 Eastern Conference Final. Following his time in Philadelphia, Biron went on to spend time with the Islanders and Rangers before retiring from the NHL in October 2013. In addition to his role on the Sabres’ broadcast, Bison is a frequent contributor to The Instigators and produces content for Sabres.com. He also assists with the goaltending program for the Academy of Hockey. RADIO BROADCAST Sabres coverage on the radio can be found exclusively on WGR 550, the team’s radio partner for more than 25 years. Game-day broadcasts include the action from Jeanneret and Ray, along with a post- game show hosted by Brian Koziol featuring a complete game recap, player interviews and scores from around the league. Paul Hamilton, who returns as the station’s Sabres beat reporter, will provide live updates from Sabres games and practices all season long. Returning for its eighth season is the team’s flagship radio program, The Instigators. The show is broadcast live, year-round from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday through Friday. The program is an additional outlet for Sabres fans to hear exclusive interviews, analysis, team updates, and recaps of Sabres games and practices. Serving as hosts of The Instigators are former Sabres Andrew Peters and Craig Rivet. Peters was a member of the Sabres for five seasons, from 2003-04 to 2008-09 before joining the show full-time in 2014-15. Rivet, who joined Peters as a co-host in 2016, captained the Sabres from 2008 to 2011.

    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

  • L'ancien Capitaine Des Canadiens Henri Richard S
    L’ANCIEN CAPITAINE DES CANADIENS HENRI RICHARD S’ÉTEINT À L’ÂGE DE 84 ANS (Montréal, le 6 mars 2020) – C’est avec grande tristesse que le Club de hockey Canadien a appris le décès de son ancien capitaine Henri Richard, survenu plus tôt aujourd’hui à Laval. Il était âgé de 84 ans, lui qui avait célébré son anniversaire le 29 février dernier. Né en 1936 à Montréal, Henri a passé toute sa carrière dans l’uniforme des Canadiens, le seul avec Jean Béliveau à disputer 20 saisons avec le Tricolore. Avant de faire le saut dans la LNH, évoluant au sein de la même équipe que son frère aîné Maurice, Henri s’est illustré avec le National de Montréal, amassant 55 points en 49 matchs en 1951-1952. Il se joint ensuite aux Canadiens Juniors avec qui il remporte le championnat des marqueurs du circuit deux saisons de suite, arborant le chandail numéro 9. C’est en 1955-1956 qu’il amorce son illustre carrière dans la LNH avec les Canadiens, récoltant 40 points, dont 19 buts, en 64 rencontres et gagne la coupe Stanley pour la première fois. Les saisons se succèdent avec les Canadiens et la conquête de la coupe Stanley est au rendez-vous lors de ses cinq premières saisons. Ce faisant, Henri est l’un des 12 joueurs du Tricolore ayant réussi cet exploit de graver son nom cinq saisons consécutives sur le convoité trophée (en compagnie de Dickie Moore, Jacques Plante, Jean Béliveau, Doug Harvey, Bernard Geoffrion, Tom Johnson, Claude Provost, Jean-Guy Talbot, Don Marshall, Bob Turner et son frère Maurice).

  • A Matter of Inches My Last Fight
    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. 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. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. 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.
