Chapter 41 hordes of troops and horses "Do not listen to those a horse a thief air opinion, everyone quickly flings off they!"That Chong stone the Lang drink a way. Immediately the grooms are malicious to take out horse, press acceleration. The trucks is violent to jolt, luckily those box early be been fixedly used a cordage on the trucks by the prison prison, regardless is a trucks, is still a wagon, all fly to soon hurtle at the moment.This is to flee for life of time, no one hesitates, while black A soldier non-commissioned officers then bring up the rear, at end noodles, keep Ma Ze from making track for shot.
Greatly took charge of to touch touch oneself baldheaded, order way:"You let two take charge of them to all come over!" "Greatly take charge of, do?"Only eye man eyes a bright.

Teng green mountain, Du Hong and Teng green tiger 3 people ride a war horse, at officer way the center. Is every to have Ma Ze blunt come over, 3 people at will fight with weapons, then sting killed Ma Ze's robber. "These several hundred Ma Ze dare to also loot us and really seek dead!"The Du Hong sneer way.

Can must see you the black A soldier coming how much person in other counties.If the person is little, somebody else not concerned one put out you, only the hand and foot is a little bit clean, don't leave a hold to become. …… The Teng green mountain what they guessed is quite good, at their car brigade just got into Xu Yang Jun inshore in a little while, their message be known by Ma Ze with not small influence inside Xu Yang Jun. "Step aside, all step aside for me!" Drink to scold in mouth, a Jing thin of only the eye man is running to not a house in the distance inside. "Four Yes!"Two men of that house doorway immediately smile to say "hello". "Greatly take charge of, greatly take charge of!"This Jing is only thin eye man a push away front door, then and loudly Rang Rang get up, " has fatty sheep, big fatty sheep!"

Greatly taking charge of is silent to get up. The Jing thin man knows that the oneself greatly takes charge of to look like stupid, can the idea is obviously delicate, considering how to deal with that company's brigade now. For a long time …… "Those 7810 escort solve easily!I the troops brotherses, adjust to send 500 bow and arrow hands, two bow and arrows, can put out those escort!The still black A soldier that"greatly take charge of to knit the brows a way, " bothers most those 23 people!Connect a person to take a horse, an all be covered with heavy A, the knife sword is difficult to harm, kill they, loss of the brothers is absolutely many." "They again severe 23, we have plenty of way."That Jing is only thin eye man to say. Greatly took charge of to look sideways his one eye:"I certainly know!Killing their way is many, can your remembering , once wanting a person who put out the black A soldier, have to all kill only, can not have escape from punishment one, once leaving out 1, know our facial appearance, check to know our identity and wait black A soldier battalion to make reprisals, in a mess!" All kill light, return a dollar religion in a long distance outside, difficult check who is a murderer. Can be escape from punishment, bother. "The horse of black A soldier, all of that are the good horses!Did you see the hair color of clear horse?"Greatly take charge of to inquire a way. Although the war horse wears heavy A, can remain impossibly and all protect. For example ear horse, also have Ma Tui!The horsetail expects! These hairs colors that can see a horse.

"Is a green Zong to step snow horse!"Greatly take charge of to nod a way, " that is black A soldier 100 men are long to embark of war horse!Seem have two 100 men at least this time long, don't know and have all Class military officer generally at!" "Have all how generally again, not the day after tomorrow superior?"Only eye man way.
Teng green mountain house inside. Flushed for a while, make change clothes, put on shoes, with a cordage tie hair just a little for a while, the Teng green mountain also feels pure spirit of a burst of absolute being great.In this ancient times, can have no beauty salon, and the clansmens the hairs are all longer, the Teng green mountain always can not shave into short hair? "Lost a set of clothes, a pair of boot, half long gun, change come of, is these two pieces of mineral stones."The Teng green mountain cautiously conjectures to begin medium these two pieces of mineral stones. These two pieces of mineral stones one is slightly a little bit bigger, one is slightly a little bit smaller, body black, see common. These two pieces of mineral stones are a great deal of two among those pieces in the mineral stone that the Teng green mountain discovers in bluish green cold bottom in the pond pond, after all at that time, the Teng green mountain can not also in great quantities take.Just at will took 2 pieces, put in the bosom pocket. "Yi, in the cold pond not is send out purple light dizzy?"Put at at present, basically could not see purple light dizzy.Right away the Teng green mountain hands cover lives a mineral stone and holds up light, indeed as expected, under the circumstance that dark, the Teng green mountain unwillingly saw very weak of purple light dizzy.Presumably in the cold pond, under the completely dark condition, this is purple light dizzy just more obvious. "In the cold pond, feel this mineral stone still pretty hot, feel now, also warm up just."The Teng green mountain is also understand, at the external world, oneselfs all feel this mineral stone warming up. Cold pond bottom in the pond, that is under the coldest condition, touch this mineral stone, feel very hot, also normal. "I don't understand to the mineral stone and ask a dad, this exactly is what mineral stone."The Teng green mountain puts these two pieces of mineral stones in the bosom and starts to support an umbrella, house, once walk courtyard, dynasty that house walks. Let go of an umbrella, the Teng green mountain also sits by the side of the table. Outdoor rain-storm pouring, it is comfortable and warm to pour inside the house. "Green mountain."Teng any always worries to inquire a way, " you enter mountain, is this just half of two-hour period, exactly met what?Unexpectedly allow you to even lose the guns of Bin iron half."This enter mountain mountain, descend a bluish green cold pond, speak of come slow, but actually with the speed of the Teng green mountain, back and forth add all shortage half of two-hour period. Mother even the breakfasts are all just preparing in the middle. "Meet what?"The Teng green mountain is helpless on smiling, " dad, I also have never thought, we greatly postpone mountain and also calculate not and up what Tashan, can this Tashan inside, unexpectedly have a monster." "Monster?"Teng any is always more surprising, " what kind of monster?" "Head the python that livings silver Cape, the foot contains the python that more than ten Zhangs grow."The Teng green mountain starts to recall that boa and still keeps feeling scared, that boa is rated as a knife gun not to go into.Connect to ownly and extremely recruit'poison Long Zuan 'all can just a little break skin, know, with own strength and the marksmanship, this wearing of point of a spear deeply dint, early more than numerous hot weapons of previous incarnation. Is some guided missiles of previous incarnation presumably, all bomb deathless that defense the boa of degree. "More than ten Zhangs grow of, head the boa that living silver Cape?Jiao?"Teng always any also surprised way. Head's livingsing an only horny boa , on nine states the earths, is a flood dragon. "Jiao, that is the demon monster, absolute being monster, green mountain, did you run into Jiao?"Teng any always dares not believes, " we greatly postpone mountain, in have Jiao?"In nine state the earths of many legendary, some monsters that own unimaginable strength are called it BE'absolute being monster'or'demon monster'. Those monster, each , all have the terrible strength of demolishing the city defense. The Teng green mountain says with smile:"The dad is that bluish green cold pond.I sneak in that bluish green cold pond ……want and see, this bluish green cold pond why so cold.In the pond bottom, ran into that Jiao!Luckily I escape quickly." "Your this kid, blind commit tomfoolery."Teng always any the empress listenning to's carrying on the back is all burst of cold sweat. At the thought of oneself's son fights in bluish green cold pond bottom in the pond and the Jiao, Teng any is always a burst of and frightened, if oneself's son died, how does that do?
Is a , just like poison Long Chu Shui, can easily drill on opponent a hole.The power is biggest. Is beneficial and then have a fraud. This'poison Long Zuan 'a , long the gun will have to just a little lose control for an instant, can compare with this power, this weakness can also neglect.
Chapter 40 loses with get Bomb card! Heavy rain pouring, that deafening thunder also but ring out, this heavy rain obviously isn't a momentary half will the son can stop. At be apart from Chuang in the Teng house probably an in outside, a youth positive barefoot walks on the mire ground, his clothes sleeves became a root ground cloth son, the pants also completely crack into cloth, with disheveled hair of he, just like a mendicant. "Return is really enough distress."The Teng green mountain sees oneself's clothes, bluish green cold pond and deep pond boa monster fight over there, not from forbid of make an effort for the Qing, double arm legs spirit the blood is strong to the extreme achievement, simply crack pants, sleeves into ground cloth.As for that boot ……the Teng green mountain enter mountain of time wear boot, before next cold pond takes off the boot to one side. Time of fleeing for life also has no to in time bring back. "That big boa grows crazy and estimated my that boot to be also suppressed by the crushed stones.Like this, I return to and how appear in public?"The Teng green mountain far away looking at Chuang in the Teng houses in the front, not from wry smile. This distress appearance is seen by the clansmen, estimate that the clansmens will guess, what affair will make the Teng green mountain thus distress. "Xiu!" In the rain-storm, the Teng green mountain's You ground changes into an unreal image, huge wooden fence column in the Chuang in protecting of the dynasty Chuang in the Teng house hurtles to, an inside road, a short moment blunt past.And then foot 1:00, starting to jump one the Zhang is much Gao, easily once jumped this high big palisades.After wooden fence column, pare of a root wodden post of sharp point, and house. Lightly some wodden post, the Teng green mountain ascended house roof, sees a Teng green mountain strength inside the operation, whole individual light as a swallow, trample house tile to quickly go in secret. Luckily this rain-storm, almost hide the clansmens in the home, plus it's yet early now, all families all at favour breakfast.The nobody notices under this rain-storm circumstance, their clansmen of first good brave fellow just on the house roof'walk faster'. …… Teng green mountain home. Green rain is building a fire, mother'Yuan orchid'BE doing a noodles a round flat cake, is busy at the breakfast. "Yi?Someone came in."The Yuan orchid is surprised of the dynasty outside see. "Niang."Push door to walk into the Teng green mountain in the courtyard, dynasty mother the Yuan orchid shouted a , the Yuan orchid connects to start to grasp an umbrella to run to come over and shockedly conjectures a Teng green mountain, anxious way:"Green mountain, how did you make?This clothes completely broke, H'm, and your boot?Is barefoot and then come back?" Father Teng any always also walks to the hall house threshold, also in astonishment looking at the Teng green mountain of outside. "Green mountain, you, what did you enter mountain to meet?Is so distress, to, and your gun of Bin iron?"Teng always any. The Teng green mountain throws withered leaf in the hand to one side and then take out a pack iron gun gun pole is at a Bin in the leaf, helpless a say with smile:"Dad, can't, leave such a?"Teng any always listenned to facial expression on changing, oneself's son's real strenght, he is knowing.That is top-grade Wu Zhe. Can let top-grade Wu Zhe, even have no weapons half, that previous son meets of circumstance, will how of danger? "Dad, I go first to wash for a while and change whole body clothes."The Teng green mountain says with smile. "H'm, change clothes quickly, after a while, seek me."Teng any always says. The Teng green mountain orders a head and then entered own house. "Any elder brother, the green mountain exactly meets what Be getting more dangerous?The king of the boar?The king of the wolf?"The mother Yuan orchid puzzles to inquire a way, Teng any always shakes head a way:"Your son's skill, don't you still know?Is 10 years old and then can kill wolf king, now, is 100 wolf kings, all the threat don't arrive him.He is top-grade Wu Zhe!I am still really surprisingly, this greatly postpones Shan-li, will have what, let green mountain he is so distress."
Can easily freeze a cold pond after all, that black fog is affirmative ice is cold more. "The monster is really a monster."Teng green mountain at anxiously at the same time, the double boxing also ruthlessly hits ice-cubes. "Peng!""Peng!"…… The fist of lightning flash sort, above the ice-cubes very and soon collapses, ground crack. Teng green mountain while saying that that deep pond boa is a monster, in fact, he was also a small monster by himself. The boa in"roar~~~" is fiercely with an upward exposure blunt, a great deal of ice-cubes drive blunt ground crack, this boa very and soon makes track for toward the Teng green mountain, the Shi wants to give° the Teng green mountain to eat up. "Bomb!" Ring along with huge one, a great deal of of the ice-cubes spout to shoot toward the all directions from the cold pond surface, at the same time a shadow of human figure from water inside rush out, fall at cold pond not distance. "Come out on the whole."The Teng green mountain doesn't dare to have to the slightest relax and directly rush at the package of distance not, at the moment heavy rain pouring, in the whole world one water is boundless, Teng green mountain a hold tight that package, Si a , directly tear to pieces, from took out to is divided into two Bin iron gun among them. Roar~~ One bellows that Hua a , a terrible boa monster breaks ice but from the cold pond, the huge ferocious boa head sweeps to on all sides, the vision targeted a Teng green mountain a while. "Shout!"The Teng green mountain too late links two gun poles, the whole individual immediately displays 《 limits of the earth goes 》, turn to make together green smoke, rush out halfway up a hill. On jumping but rising, direct from halfway up a hill, the dynasty below the hills jumps! The big boa in"roar~~" huge snake body fiercely flees, the one mouthful bites toward the Teng green mountain that jumps in mid air. "Roll you!"Teng green mountain bellows, half Bin iron gun in the hand turns to make an unreal image and unexpectedly sells but, take a sharp spirit to explode a voice and stab toward the head of big boa. The point of a spear of the half Bin iron gun for revolving in"Chi Chi~~" stabs on the scale of big boa and unexpectedly and difficultly stabbed a small hole, inside gun head the scale layer that permeate into a big boa, the blood permeates from the big boa skull, big boa offensive is also of. The Teng green mountain drops to go in the deep mountain under a while. In the whole world one water is boundless, this boa monster, could not see the shadow of human figure of Teng green mountain any further. Once the big boa of cutting up rough jilt skull, that gun of Bin iron is jilted ground to hit at one side mountain wall up, the mountain wall imitates Buddha bean curd similar, the gun of Bin iron unexpectedly sank into mountain wall inner part to go to. The skull dyes the pole of the boa monster exasperation of blood and opens big mouth and then and without restraint sprays to go toward the all directions, black fog spews out from this, the dynasty fills the air to open on all sides, surroundings of the mountain wall be touched by this black fog, immediately and silently have no the changing into of voice interest crushed stones powder, get down a square to flow to drip. "Roar~~~" At halfway up a hill place, this terrible boa monster roars to the sky and vents to cut up rough, the surrounding mountain wall shivers and seems for the exasperation but Zhan Li of this boa monster. For a long time behind, this boa monster can the unwilling nature retract in the bluish green cold pond, the bluish green cold pond resumed equanimity and played noodles in the cold pond top to soon have the thick 1 F hard ice again. …… Under edge, the Teng green mountain stands at Lin Jian, regardless of rain water pouring, face upward to see toward that halfway up a hill, be to see this boa monster to face upward toward the heaven roars, in the heart is of an earthquake. "That water bottom passage deep place, don't know exactly is where, unexpectedly conceive so terrible monster.Today isn't that I ran quickly and perhaps today a life to cast away this."The Teng green mountain is also understand, the world spiritual influence is abundant, the mankind can become stronger, equally will be born as well terrible monster.
"We don't go.They are fair plays.We went to, is persons to humiliate person more little."Lin Cang Lan helplessly says. The brothers is 3 people.It is also this three younger brother, Wang Jian Han, to have no political brains most . Now abjection in the Yan house, original have many people to feel sorry for for them.If appear 3 people again today field together the affair that humiliate Yan pleasant breeze, on the contrary will make people sympathize with them more. This is the reason that the Yan pleasant breeze would like to accept a challenge? Does he want to lead us to go into Zhong and convert the pressure that bears now in the Yan house thus? "Yan pleasant breeze, your returning is really a rare opponent.If isn't an autumn of leaf, I will take pleasure in keeping on accompanying you to play very much.Unfortunately, you have to bowl out." The reason that Lin Cang Xie doesn't understand Yan pleasant breeze to suddenly and violently walk, he thinks and be like Yan pleasant breeze so old the house Fu striving for to deeply calculate would like to walk this recruits chess, in fact is at confidence game. "Okay.I understood eldest brother."Wang Jian Han promises a way. Hanged a telephone, said with smile by just across the street white dress beauty Chi Chi:"See to your brothers 3 people's feelings best." "Yes.Eldest brother's engraving is a little bit scathing son."Wang Bu Han embarrassedly explains. "That isn't scathing, serious.Then serious man can matter in Chengkong University."The woman smiles to say. "In fact I am also pretty serious at ordinary times."Intentionally the plank of Wang Jian Han rises a face to say. "Luo Luo, yes.I saw out."The white dress woman finishes saying, and then smiles. "The good elephant was your two elder brothers to have an accident, don't you go over and have a look?Does leaf's childe's name that is long to smell a leaf also really have no opportunity to see for autumn." Wang Jian Han's beginning hesitates. Go to, afraiding of eldest brother to know will receive scolding. Don't go, he really wants to go over and have a look the circumstance that two elder brothers and others fight again.He is from the data in see the special kind soldier whom two elder brothers were this compared after personal champion of martial big match, early wanted to steal teacher. Say again, the Yan pleasant breeze is also a superior.If two elder brothers appear what problem, he can also do a source reason in time. And, the in front contains beauty claim and refuses so other people now and Be getting more beyond the limit? "Leave.We see."Wang Jian Han finally descended to settle decision. Greatly not stealthily go to good, again at enmity with they face to face personally. "I also accompany you past.Isn't very good?"White dress woman the full face expect, big eyes rush toward Shan to rush toward Shan. Once Wang Jian Han make a spoony, nod to promise. Many people in the Yan city knows dint club building of office king, but few someones know that dint club building of office king's owner is Cai Jing. The this guy deep An is in a low-key way astringent way, try very hard to get money, but very few appear in the public in front. Cai Jing age about 30 years old, looks handsome milk friendship, bearing cool-headed atmosphere, look to pour is ability the man of matter in Chengkong University. Now, he is accompanying a few guests is taking tea. See from the glass window of this tea room Next go, not the distance is that boxing ring that spreads a full blood. Occupy vantage point of appreciate a game, canning even let the human body will that the sense of achievement that controls others life and death and the incitement feeling for having a boiling passion. What to make tea is a woman who wears a red chirpaur, also Cai Jing's woman.Her hardly appearing publicly at ordinary times , only while coping with the guest of very importance, would make her come out to perform a tea way. Obviously, today's few guests count for much for them.
Be used as a qualified assistant, she have to she sees of upward the department make collective report. If later leaf autumn what matter, but she fails to report the facts, afraid is director's affirmation will be blamed and scolded to he or she. River Yan is purple to sit upright after transacting a chair top sorting to just toss about loose data, hearing the words of assistant, the action on the hand contains momentary deadlock.Is very quick, and then resume such as often. Did he also come?What does he come to do? The present condition of Yan house she is knowing, where heard some mis but don't enrich from a somebody as well thing. Unexpectedly leaf heavy Sui return be really have relation with Yan house allied, the house of the Yan gets end like this now and seem to don't also sympathize with of necessity. Just, the Yan pleasant breeze has been treating oneself is quite good. "Hear them saying what?"River Yan is purple easy to read to ask a way. "Sorry director, I have never canned hear they talk.I am in the soundproof door at that time, they were in the outside."Chen Nuo is sorry of say. Under this circumstance, even if hear, also wanted to pretend to don't know.It is subordinate, sometimes still need to learn to pretend ignorance. "Own busy matter."River Yan was purple to raise head to see an eye of Chen Nuo, say. BE.Director."Chen Nuo promises and walked to go out in quick time. Wait until an office door to again close, river Yan is purple to push away a chair to stand. Walk the inside that is ex- to looking at yard to the glass window of scenery, but the in the mind is 100 feeling social intercourses. Is it oneself that don't know shame?Is it two people to unexpectedly and successively fall in love with father and son? She knows.That not is act for. They are all the one and only.A per of, fall in love with very naturally. Wang Jian Han's temperament is hasty, seldom come back a Yan city, the nature would not like to always sit in the home. This time Lin Cang Lan, the autumn and Wang Jian Han 3 people of leaf together gather a Yan city, then drive interloper Anne a , the eminent family is three childes, of title. Lin Cang Xie is to avoid it to cannot compare with, the leaf autumn is a not essential, Wang Jian Han's youth's disposition, but is pretty much enjoy this felling. Just at red person guild in and in Guo will of when a deluxe member drank tea the cellular phone of the pocket inside of Wang Jian Han rang. Wang Jian Han's complaisance of to sit a just across the street beauty way Qian, this just pressed to connect to listen to key. He after seeing the number that the arrival electricity shows is Lin Cang Xie, especially idea of didn't walk far.Because he knows, Lin Jia will have a fatal attraction to at present this woman in the identity position of soldier boundary. She the old headman is also a high class of military district in the Yan city to get. BE a soldier, doesn't that want to take a relation with Lin Jia? "Eldest brother, do you seek me?Wang Jian Han smiles to ask a way.Very at will of appearance.The sky knows that his in the mind is very frightened he this becomes sworn eldest brother. "The sword is cold, where are you ?"Lin Cang Xie's voice is from the words tube in spread. "Eldest brother.Do I accompany general Lee's daughter to drink tea in red person's club building of office." Especially the idea of Wang Jian Han swept one eye, indeed as expected, opposite woman's eyes moment is bright to get up. "Hey Hey.There is drama."Wang Jian trembles with fear an inside dark joy. "Your two elder brothers just fights with others, this matter son do you know?"Lin Cang Lan asks a way. "Two elder brothers?Just fight with others?"Wang Jian Han raised voice.This time, eyes of his turn are bright to get up. "Two elder brothers are really also of.Fight this kind of matter how don't call to ascend me?"Wang Jian Han puts blame on to say. "The sword is cold, want to be steady to weigh in this kind of time some."The voice of Lin Cang Xie is scathing.

"With the season officially cancelled, the USHL recently awarded the Anderson Cup to the Chicago Steel. The Cup goes to the team with the most points and the Steel certainly earned it with a 41-7-1 record that included two 13-game win streaks and dominance over the scoring race: four of the top five producers came from the Steel, with only Dubuque’s Ty Jackson cracking the streak. At the time the season was called, the Steel were 15 points clear of Dubuque and Waterloo, who were tied for second. “We came into the year expecting to be one of the top teams in the league and obviously had a good year,” said defenseman and 2021 NHL prospect Owen Power. “The team was dominant.” So how did they do it? Talent, of course, but preparation helped as well. GM Ryan Hardy put together a rigorous program that called for a certain kind of dedicated player, then went out and got those kids. Whether it was through the draft (like Power and 2020 NHL draft prospect Sean Farrell) or trade (2020 draft prospect Brendan Brisson), Hardy gave coach Greg Moore the talent needed. When Moore was hired away by the AHL’s Toronto Marlies in December, Brock Sheahan stepped up behind the bench and continued the Steel’s successful run. “It’s just the mindset every day of getting better,” Brisson said. “All the resources coming together really makes it easier to succeed as a player and a team. We take it really seriously here.” Hardy’s stint with USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program helped. The Chicago GM was the NTDP’s director of player personnel for three years, giving him a crash-course in running one of the top producers of NHL talent in the world. “It helped me in so many ways,” Hardy said. “I was able to look at the setup they had there and also analyze the players; why some were successful and some weren’t. A lot of our cultural pieces came from there – there are probably games where we’re not at peak rest, but we’re not going to sacrifice a (gym) lift that would help the players long-term – that’s something we took from them.” Surrounding his staff and players with experts also helps. “We contract with a company for mindset resilience development,” Hardy said. “And we have an agreement with Darryl Belfry and Adam Nicholas from an on-ice development standpoint, so from a recruiting perspective, it certainly helps.” Belfry is the skills guru whose clients have included Patrick Kane and John Tavares – he also works with the Maple Leafs during the season now. Nicholas is another top skating and skills coach renowned in the business. Looking at the 2020 NHL draft, the Steel will be well-represented. Brisson is a potential first-rounder, while Sam Colangelo and Sean Farrell are top-100 prospects in their own rights. Fellow forward Gunnarwolfe Fontaine, who was passed over last year, will likely be taken too. But the party isn’t going to stop next year, as the Steel tendered one of the most exciting young prospects in the world, 2023 NHL draft prospect Adam Fantilli. The Toronto-born center will play at least 55 percent of Chicago’s games next year in exchange for the Steel coughing up their first-rounder in the next USHL draft. With all the talent that has been coming through Chicago in the past couple years and all the preparation that went into making this year’s edition a force in the USHL, it’s no surprise top-end kids keep picking the Steel." "Graeme Roustan: Today we have Pat Kelleher, the executive director of USA Hockey on with us today for Sports Illustrated and The Hockey News. How are you doing today? Pat Kelleher: I’m doing all right, Graeme, thank you for having me. GR: How are your employees and your staff doing during these times? PK: I think the best part is we have a lot of people that work for USA Hockey that are truly deeply dedicated hockey professionals and passionate hockey people. So they are trying to grind their way through this. We have people in Michigan at our arena and the national team program. We have our national office in Colorado Springs. We have people that work remotely for us across the country regularly. So everyone is trying to stay engaged, connected and we’re trying to find ways to connect with one another and try and connect with our community. We’ve had our hockey department conduct Zoom meetings with coaches and hockey directors. We’re just trying to help people as best we can through this time by finding ways to talk about hockey, which is not easy right now. But our staff is committed, and we’re committed to our staff. We want to try and do a weekend to find our way through this challenging situation, or, as I’ve trademarked in our office this “fluid situation,” and make sure that when we do come back we can get back on the ice. GR: Some states obviously are more affected right now than others, like the state of New York. Do you find that your team in New York is in need of more attention right now than other states? PK: I don’t think we have one particular area where people are more in need. Where we are, we try and communicate with everybody and understand that everybody has different challenges. We have different volunteers throughout the U.S. that we do communicate with and some are in different situations for sure. We have coaches and people that participate in youth hockey out there that are frontline healthcare providers. We feel for those people and certainly appreciate all that they’re doing. We’re just trying to connect where we can with people in hockey and maybe give people a little break from some of the things they’re dealing with. Just to try and talk about hockey or engage in hockey in a different way. And I think that goes for kids that play, too. Kids are not in school, they’re not out with their friends. How can they be active at home and shooting pucks or stickhandling? I think that’s important, too. GR: Has USA Hockey, essentially shut down your programs? When do you think they’ll be up and running again? PK: Yeah, I wish I had the crystal ball to tell you when we’d be up and running again. That would be fantastic. I think it was back on March 11 when we made the really difficult decision at the time to cancel this year’s national championships. That was really the front end of when everything really picked up. And I remember speaking to Bill Daly from the NHL that day, and we both were like, “things seem to be going a lot faster right now.” And they did. Things happened really quickly. At the front end, it was really agonizing, because you didn’t know what we were going to be dealing with. Our national championships for youth hockey would have started on April 1, and it was March 11. When we made the decision, we had a long, long, difficult discussion and listened to every angle on what we should do and what we could do, but we went with what was the safest decision then, but not an easy decision, to cancel nationals at that time. Obviously, three weeks later, there would have been no chance to hold nationals. One of the tougher parts is we are a membership organization for youth hockey. And we have kids and families that engage all year long in hockey and love and have a great experience. A select few and their teams are fortunate to qualify to play for a national championship at whatever age level – boys, girls, sled hockey, and all those things run through USA Hockey. To have to cancel that and not finish the season is really difficult. And frankly, it’s difficult for our volunteers and for our staff. I mean, people work for two years at a time to prepare to host a national championship. So that’s just agonizing. For the kids and the families and the coaches and the volunteers who put so much time into trying to get to that end-of-season tournament or national championship, no one wants to have the season finished without the chance to play it out at the end."
"In the midst of the NHL’s suspended season and the global coronavirus pandemic, IIHF president Rene Fasel spoke with The Hockey News’ owner and publisher W. Graeme Roustan via email about how the IIHF is dealing with the short- and long-term plans of a global shutdown and addresses rumors that Fasel will become the KHL president in the future. Graeme Roustan: Many businesses around the world have shut down their office and have asked their employees to work from home. What is the status for employees at the IIHF? Rene Fasel: The IIHF has instructed all employees to work from home. In order to service our member nations and other stakeholders, all office staff remain reachable via email or telephone, and the organization is fully operational and approachable to all partners and clients. The IIHF office also holds weekly status meetings remotely to ensure that all service to member national associations remains uninterrupted and carefully coordinated between departments. GR: U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson just announced the possibility of a six-month lockdown. Is the IIHF and its member countries prepared for a six-month or more lockdown? RF: With the cancellation of the 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, the 2020 international hockey season is closed. Most of the IIHF’s office work will revolve around preparing for next season. The IIHF council will be in close contact with our membership as we determine the feasibility of holding the 2020 annual congress at an appropriate time. But the situation with the coronavirus is very fluid. We hope, as does the rest of the world, that this pandemic is over as soon as possible, but we are doing our best to prepare for a long-term lockdown. GR: Many pundits are now talking about the COVID-19 causing a six-, 12- or 18-month shutdown of the economy. What effect will a prolonged shutdown cause for the game of hockey around the world? RF: It would be very difficult. A long-term shutdown would drastically affect the revenues of clubs and leagues, both in Europe and around the world. This incident occurred at the tail end of the club season, meaning that almost all leagues missed out on significant revenue from the playoff stage. It is tough to predict what kind of impact the pandemic will have on corporations and organizations that act as sponsors for ice hockey teams, leagues and clubs. A lot of small-market teams operate on very tight budgets, and for them, a prolonged shutdown would be a serious obstacle to overcome. GR: Social distancing is the best prevention from spreading the COVID-19 and many other viruses. Does the IIHF and member countries believe that people will flock back to arenas where up to 20,000 people are packed into an arena to watch hockey? RF: We follow the WHO and CDC guidelines for mass gatherings and countries follow the social-distancing rules that are in place. There will be a time that fans will be able to return to arenas around the world, and we look forward to that day as long as it respects the rules and guidelines in place. I think that as long as it is deemed to be safe from a medical perspective, there is nothing that would prevent fans from returning to the arenas. Sport is a big part of our social fabric, and I believe that fans would want to get out and enjoy it as soon as it is possible to do so. GR: As president of the IIHF, you are the head of all international hockey, which includes the Olympics. What are your top priorities at this time of the COVID-19 virus? RF: Together with the IIHF Council, we are evaluating the impact of the cancellation of the World Championship on our membership. The revenue generated by this tournament goes back into our championship program each year and is needed to support the 30-plus other IIHF tournaments that we operate each year in the various men’s and women’s’ categories." "Fortunately, the IIHF is insured against such a force majeure cancellation of the World Championship, and we are now in the process of preparing a report for the insurance company. GR: Athletes around the world have always been focused on their health and safety. What will the IIHF do to protect the health and safety of potential NHL players participating in future Olympics? RF: The IIHF Medical Committee includes members that have extensive experience working with NHL players, such as our volunteer chief medical officer, Dr. Mark Aubry, who is also the team physician for the Ottawa Senators and president of the Team Physician Society of the NHL. We have always coordinated closely with the NHL to promote player health and safety and would continue to do so. GR: Up until recently, the discussion of NHL players going to the 2022 Olympics in China was primarily around money and insurance. What will the main points be now after this pandemic that began in China? RF: I think that player health and safety is and always has been an important discussion. We have had instances in the past at our World Championship and Olympics where a player or team official reported a flu or other illness that caused us to take immediate precautionary measures, for example avoiding handshakes after a game. We also ensure that we follow our prevention of infection guidelines that we give all organizers before their championship. We will also be developing further rules of infection prevention following this outbreak. Our medical committee is in close communication with the WHO, CDC and other medical committees from other sports organizations as well as international medical organizations in order to always be ready to adopt the best practices to ensure player health and safety. GR: The NHL will more than likely halt all pre-season and regular-season games anywhere outside of Canada and the U.S., something the IIHF was never happy with. Does the IIHF prefer if the NHL stay home? RF: I wouldn’t say that exactly, we are a big hockey family and the fans love when they can see their NHL players play at home. I believe there were some concerns at first over whether these games would interfere with European league operations, but it has not been the case. GR: The KHL could not survive financially if it were not for the oligarchs, and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation is supported by the Russian government. Is the IIHF concerned that some of the small countries who’ve been impacted most by this pandemic, like Italy and Spain, will allocate their resources away from hockey? RF: I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this is an existential crisis for small-market teams. It’s not only ice hockey but all sports that are suffering now. These are tough times, but we will get through this. Even if the money is not there, the passions of our members will stay strong. That passion, rather than money, is what pushed them to work to grow the game within their countries in the first place. GR: You were to step down from being president of the IIHF in September and rumors are that you will become the commissioner of the KHL. How does this global health crisis impact these plans? RF: I like the rumors, ha ha, but no. I am 100 percent focused on my job as the IIHF president. GR: Today the world is looking to its leaders for answers to what should we all do and how can we get through this global pandemic. As the leader of millions of people in the hockey and sports world, what is your message that you want everyone to hear? I want to keep it simple: stay home, listen to the experts, and stay healthy! We have to set aside sport for now and focus on the greater good. GR: Millions of people around the world are self-isolated. Where are you and how are you and your family doing? Other than an occasional trip to the office by me to get status updates, we are staying home. Our family moved recently and are now using the time to settle in."
