  • Press Clips October 1, 2014
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips October 1, 2014 Reinhart’s roster spot not a given at this point By Mike Harrington Buffalo News September 30, 2014 When it comes to Sam Reinhart, there are the pros and the cons. There are the nuances with the puck and away from it that provide glimpses of the wondrous talent befitting a No. 2 overall pick in the NHL draft. There’s the work ethic that pushes the 18-year-old to stay on the ice working on skills well after practice is over. There’s the fact the third periods of exhibition games have been his best, that he’s been able to adapt as the night moves on. There is the bright future. And there are also the middling numbers of the present. One assist in four games of the Traverse City Prospects Tournament. No points in three NHL exhibition games. At some point, the cold reality is that the Sabres’ top choice has to crack the scoresheet if he wants to stay in the NHL this season. “It’s getting a little frustrating,” Reinhart admitted after practice Tuesday in First Niagara Center. “I think the biggest thing is I’m getting chances, trying to create. I’m just going to stick with it and focus on the bigger picture. But obviously that’s part of my game and I think that’s going to have to come.” Reinhart gets his penultimate chance to make an impression tonight when the Sabres play their preseason home finale against the Washington Capitals (7 p.m, MSG, Radio 550 AM).

  • September 18Th, Pioneer Pages Combined
    Rooted in tradition · Exploring the future Vol. 46 · Issue #1 Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013 Loyalist College · Belleville, ON · Canada Stirling welcomes Hockeyville By Christopher King Kraft Hockeyville descended upon the town of Stirling-Rawdon and District for a second year on Sept. 14. Hockeyville is a program that is award- ed to the town that demonstrates its love for hockey and the ability of a community to come together to show that. Commu- nities that win are awarded $100,000 and two NHL teams host an exhibition game and Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts in the community. Last year, the NHL lockout prevented any exhibition games. This year, however, the lack of a lockout allowed the Winni- peg Jets to compete against the Washing- ton Capitals. At the Stirling-Rawdon and District Recreation Centre, Kraft Hockeyville laid out the red carpet on the ice for the Stanley Cup. Four players, two from each team, attended a question-and-answer period before families took their turn tak- ing photos of themselves with the cup. Guests wrote down questions and the NHL players responded in person at the arena. The questions varied from the players’ choice of video games to whether or not they would marry one audience member. They were asked about their routine and their favourite or least favou- rite parts about hockey. Photo by Samantha Pyear “It varies Monday through Saturday. I (L-r) Washington Capitals forwards Tom Wilson, Aaron Volpatti, and defenceman Connor Carrick prepare for a face-off during the Hockeyville NHL pre-season lift sometimes...

  • The Top Ten Largest Baseball Game Crowds at Frontier Field by Paul Bielewicz
    The Top Ten Largest Baseball Game Crowds at Frontier Field By Paul Bielewicz Orioles exhibition games. Clever promotions. Well-known players on rehab assignments. Opening day. These are all among the things that bring Rochester baseball fans out in droves to beautiful Frontier Field. This article counts down the top ten regular season crowds in the 21-season history of Frontier Field—all over 13,000 fans—and provides insight on what made each of these games noteworthy enough to draw such large crowds. #10 Friday, June 15, 2007: 13,114 Sometimes the promise of baseball on a summer’s night all it takes to draw a huge crowd to the ballpark. Warm early summer weather and post-game fireworks didn’t hurt either, and were enough to draw a standing-room-only crowd of 13,114 for the game against the Louisville Bats, the sixth largest regular season baseball crowd in the 11-year history of the ballpark to that point. #9 Saturday, September 05, 2009: 13,120 The season finale is often enough to draw a large crowd. A warm late summer Saturday evening on September 5, 2009 witnessed 13,120 pass through the turnstiles at Frontier to see baseball one more time before the long offseason. The game did not go well—the Wings lost 10-0 to Scranton Wilkes- Barre—but what was much more stirring for the sellout crowd was seeing Police Officer Anthony DiPonzio throw out the ceremonial first pitch, reprising his opening day performance. DiPonzio, who had been shot in the head while on duty earlier that year, had made a steady and significant recovery, and still serves as an inspiration to many.
