  • 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.

    HOMETOWN HEROES IN FRONT OF THEIR DEVOTED FANS, THE PETERBOROUGH LAKERS WON THE 2010 MANN CUP IN A HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE AGAINST THE NEW WESTMINSTER SALMONBELLIES // By Mike Davies | Photos: Tim Prothero - www.vintagelax.com he 2010 Mann Cup will live on in the T memory of lacrosse fans, particu- larly those in Peterborough, for several special reasons. After a two-year absence, the Peterborough Lakers reclaimed the Mann Cup, their 13th, with a hard-fought six-game victory over the only team in Canada with more championships the New Westminster Salmonbellies (24). On the floor, the Lakers assaulted the record books with Shawn Evans following up his Ontario Lacrosse Association Major Se- ries Lacrosse (MSL) scoring title with a tour- nament for the ages. Evans recorded 37 points in six games, tying the Mann Cup record for most points in a series set in 2002 in seven games by Brampton Excelsiors’ star Josh Sanderson. Evans also smashed Sanderson’s assist record for a series of 26, also set in 2002, with 32. “Words can’t express how I feel,” Evans said, following the victory. “To come in here and cel- ebrate with my teammates after a big war on the floor is a great accomplishment. To get an- other ring with these guys is awesome.” Not to be outdone by his little brother, Scott Evans returned from a three-game sus- pension to earn most valuable player of the game honours in both Games 5 and 6.

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips October 20, 2016 Monahan scores in OT, Flames top Sabres Associated Press October 19, 2016 CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Sean Monahan's overtime goal brought a sense of relief to the Calgary Flames' locker room. Monahan scored 2:26 into overtime, giving Calgary its first win of the season, 4-3 over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old made a nifty move and beat Robin Lehner over his shoulder for his first of the season after being set up alone in front by Johnny Gaudreau. "Everybody needed that goal, and when I say everybody, probably the fans, the coaches and Mony himself," said Glen Gulutzan, who earned his first victory as Calgary's coach. After dropping back-to-back games in Edmonton and then losing in overtime in Vancouver on Saturday, the Flames had pressure building on a team expected to take a giant step forward in 2016-17. "When you win, it brings confidence," Monahan said. "As a group, it's home ice and the way that we battled back and found a way to win is big for our team." Matthew Tkachuk got his first NHL goal, and Michael Frolik and Micheal Ferland also scored for Calgary. Zemgus Girgensons, Ryan O'Reilly and Marcus Foligno scored for Buffalo. Calgary trailed 2-1 entering the third period but tied it at 1:10. Foligno's turnover in his own corner was taken by Ferland, who darted straight to the net and lifted a backhand into the top corner. Foligno made up for his error on his next shift, with a nifty inside-out move to sidestep Deryk Engelland and then flicking a high shot past Chad Johnson on the glove side.
