Willie has also made a tremendous contribution to Detroit off the field.

  • 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. 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.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more full-time years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and eld, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.
