RUSS COURTNALL Even though Russ Courtnall became a world-renowned hockey star, he never lost sight of his roots and, to this day, remains committed to the community that gave him his start. Russ was born in Duncan, British Columbia and he spent his early years in nearby Lake Cowichan, relocating with his family to Victoria. It was in Victoria that Russ and his brothers, Geo and Bruce, began a pursuit of hockey, playing for the “Maple Buds” at the Victoria Memorial Arena and moving on to the Victoria Racquet Club, Minor Hockey and the Western Hockey League’s Victoria Cougars. In 1983, Russ was drafted as the seventh overall pick in the ﬁrst round for the Toronto Maple Leafs. In the same year, he was the Captain of the Canadian Team at the World Junior Championships, and went on as one of the chosen few to compete in the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo. Russ was traded in 1988 from Toronto to the Montreal Canadians and, in 1992, he moved south to play with the Dallas Stars. This was followed by two years with the Vancou- ver Canucks and, after a brief stop in New York with the Rangers, he ﬁnished his career in 1999 with the Los Angeles Kings. Since retiring, Russ, his wife Paris and their three children came home to Victoria in 2003 for a few years before returning back to LA, where they reside full time. Mental health is something that’s close to Russ’s heart. Russ’s father, Archie, lost his life to suicide in 1978 – partly to blame was the lack of lifesaving psychiatric services in Victoria as well as the stigma that surrounded mental illness during this era. In memory of their father, Russ and his brothers hold semi-regular Courtnall Celebrity Classics, a star-studded fundrais- ing event that aims to raise money for mental health while breaking down stigmas and creating conversations. Proceeds from the Classics (held in 2003, 2004 and 2011) have helped open the doors to the Archie Courtnall Centre, a Psychiatric Emergency Services Unit at Victoria’s Royal Jubilee Hospital, and purchase mental health care equipment and services for the hospital’s Patient Care Centre..

DRAFT DAY 1 SCOUTING HIGHS AND LOWS The Entry Draft kicks off the season each year and provides a key opportunity for teams to augment their rosters. Here’s a look at noteworthy picks. The average hockey fan is intrigued about what goes on at the draft tables of NHL teams on draft day. It’s a day of optimism for all 30 NHL teams, the one day they can honestly say that they feel they have improved their teams with the addition of new young players. That enthusiasm can be dampened some- what a few months later as training camp begins, but draft day is one thatCOPYRIGHTED leaves all NHL teams in great MATERIAL spirits. So, what are the last-minute discussions and arguments that determine if a team ends up with a Mario Lemieux, a Claude Lemieux, or a Jocelyn Lemieux? One was a superstar, one a quality player, and one a journeyman. The 1987 Entry Draft was the fi rst to be hosted by an American city. Mike Ilitch had brought the Entry Draft and CC01.indd01.indd 1 111/08/111/08/11 99:06:06 PPMM 2 | Stellicktricity NHL meetings to Detroit; Joe Louis Arena would be the site of the actual draft. It was an enthusiastic crowd that immersed themselves in the opportunity to see the top junior and college talent connect with their fi rst NHL destination. They cheered loudly as the Red Wings made their selec- tion in the fi rst round, 11th overall, and took defenceman Yves Racine from Longueuil, of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Friday, October 14, 2016 TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS UNVEIL
Friday, October 14, 2016 TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS UNVEIL ‘THE ONE HUNDRED’ AS PART OF CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS 31-member committee selects The One Hundred greatest players in franchise history Commemorative poster to be sold at GTA Canadian Tire stores to raise funds for community programs As the franchise prepares for its Centennial Anniversary home opener tomorrow night, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced today the definitive list of the one hundred greatest players in team history at Real Sports Bar & Grill with ‘The One Hundred’ presented by Canadian Tire. Dave Keon, who had his statue on Legends Row unveiled yesterday, was selected by the committee as the greatest player of the past 100 years. As part of the celebration of The One Hundred, a commemorative team illustration of the 100 players voted as the greatest players in Maple Leafs history has been produced and will be sold exclusively at Canadian Tire stores throughout the Greater Toronto Area with net proceeds being donated to Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, MLSE Foundation and the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni Association. “An important part of the Maple Leafs Centennial celebrations is recognizing the many great players and their accomplishments while wearing these iconic sweaters over the past 100 years,” said Brendan Shanahan, President and Alternate Governor of the Toronto Maple Leafs. “Compiling the list of The One Hundred, as you’d expect with so many legendary players, was an extensive process but it was a labour of love for many, including the fans who submitted more than 300,000 votes online. On behalf of the club, congratulations to the 100 players who made this very distinguished list.” The One Hundred list is the result of rankings submitted by a 31-member committee made up of prominent members of the hockey community, including a public fan vote that counted as the 31st member.
