    MEDIA CLIPS Columbus Blue Jackets at Pittsburgh Penguins December 12, 2019 Columbus Blue Jackets Blue Jackets’ Emil Bemstrom out six to eight weeks with rib injury By Jacob Myers – The Columbus Dispatch – December 11, 2019 The injury report became a bit busier for the Blue Jackets on Wednesday with another player slated to miss significant time. Rookie forward Emil Bemstrom will miss six to eight weeks because of a dislocated rib and broken cartilage, the club announced. Bemstrom was injured Saturday against Florida on a hit by Brian Boyle with 7:17 left in the second period. Bemstrom finished his shift but did not return to the game after that. Bemstrom was in Columbus being evaluated when the team was in Washington on Monday for a game. He had recently showed some signs of growth on a line with Pierre-Luc Dubois and Sonny Milano. But in general, the 20-year-old Swede has struggled in his first NHL season. After leading the Swedish Hockey League in scoring as a teenager last season, Bemstrom hasn’t made the adjustment to the NHL as quickly as the Jackets had hoped. He has three goals and six assists in 28 games. With Bemstrom out, Eric Robinson will likely see the most playing time in Bemstrom’s place. The Jackets have no other forwards available on their roster, so they could call one up from the Cleveland Monsters. Bemstrom joins Zach Werenski, Kole Sherwood, Markus Nutivaara and Brandon Dubinsky (out indefinitely) on the injury report. Injury updates Werenski and Sherwood were back on the ice at practice.

SCOTT TURNBULL: Good afternoon and welcome to Memories and Music on CIGM FM 92.7 Sudbury. I’m your musical host, Scott Turnbull and joining us now with an introduction to today’s guest, here’s Gary Peck. GARY PECK: Today our guest will be Red Hamill. Red Hamill played professional hockey from approximately the 1937/38 season until the 1950/51 season playing for initially the Boston Bruins, latterly the Chicago Blackhawks. And also, Red Hamill has been involved in local sports. And today our guest is Robert Hamill, better known as Red Hamill. And welcome to the program, Mr. Hamill. RED HAMILL: Thank you. GARY PECK: Red, you were involved in professional hockey for a number of years and that’s really what we’re going to focus on today in the program. But before we actually concentrate on that aspect of your life, would you share with us some biographical information beginning where you were born, when, what general area, and follow through from there? RED HAMILL: Well, Gary, I was born in Toronto, 1917 and I spent my first 15 years there in Toronto with the family and then I moved north to get a job. That was during the depression years, 34/35 and I went up to South Porcupine. I got the job up there in the mine because I had a little talent as a hockey player.
