The Pittsburgh Penguins made a midseason swap that included both David Perron and Adam Clendening for the speedy Carl Hagelin on January 16. Hagelin was acquired from the Anaheim Ducks with hopes to spark an already talented Penguins’ roster that hasn’t yet put it all together. In his first year with Anaheim, Hagelin notched just 12 points (4G, 8A) in 43 appearances. But head coach Mike Sullivan saw more than just points in acquisition. “I think he’s going to track pucks down and help keep them longer,” Sullivan said. “He’ll put teams in vulnerable circumstances, and he’s got good enough hockey sense to where he can play with other guys at that level. He’s a real great player and a great person, so I think he’ll fit in real well.” Sullivan …show more content…

“He was a really good coach. He was there for me when I needed it, and he obviously gave me good advice.” With Nick Bonino out for an extended period of time, Sullivan needed to find another strong penalty-killer and Hagelin filled that gap. “He’s a very good penalty killer,” Sullivan continued. “We can use him in a lot of circumstances. That’s one of the things we liked about him was his versatility. He can play a lot of different roles. He can play in the top six. He can kill penalties. He can bring an element of speed to your team that I think has an immediate effect on your team’s overall speed with or without the puck.” With zero practices under his belt, Hagelin debuted alongside Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel against the Carolina Hurricanes on January 17. Early in the first period, Hagelin sealed off a Carolina defender at the crease allowing Olli Maatta to find open space and score the Penguins’ first of five …show more content…

“I think his speed is evident,” Sullivan said. “And the more he gets to play with Malkin and the other guys, the more familiar he’ll get with them. It’ll allow him to get better. But I think his speed is evident and gives him the ability to create plays.” Hagelin was more modest after the win over the Hurricanes, and kept his thoughts focused on the team. “I’m just trying to play my game,” Hagelin said. “I try to use my speed, create turnovers, and drive through the middle to create ice for my teammates, and I think I did that. “My legs are feeling good, and I had a couple chances, but I’m not going to sit here and talk about myself, because we won 5-0 and it’s a team game is what matters.” Positive words to hear form someone who didn't expect to be traded. Just days later, Coach Sullivan’s words were echoed in the form of boisterous cheers after Hagelin dished out the game winning assist in the Penguins’ 4-3 win over the Flyers at CONSOL Energy Center on January 21. Hagelin used his speed to get up ice and start a 2-on-1 fast break that was capped off with a Kessel

and he can lead this team to the right direction. Other than the Kevin White pick, he drafted well in his first two years. He drafted players such as Jordan Howard who lead the league second in rushing yards this season, Leonard Floyd who had 7 sacks, Cody Whitehair who only allowed 1 sack this season, and Eddie Goldman who had 7 career sacks. This shows that Ryan Pace will be great to draft players in this upcoming draft. Besides Ryan Pace drafting well in the NFL Draft, he also signed many good free agents that contributed to the team in his first two years such as Pernell McPhee who had 1 interception and 10 sacks, Akiem Hicks who had 7 sacks, Brian Hoyer who threw 1,445 passing yards with 6 touchdowns and no interceptions before he broke his arm, Willie Young who had 24 sacks, and Zach Miller who had 925 receiving yards with 9 touchdowns.

I will never forget what it was like in the locker room before our biggest games. We would get dressed in the locker room while listening to our pregame playlist, then our coach would come in and give his pregame speech, we would then do our unique “Oh Mama” pregame chant, finally to run onto the ice in a rink packed of dedicated fans anticipating the experience of the Hartland Hockey culture. As special as the pregames were, the postgames were even more special. In my two years on the team, we never lost a game at home, hence a lot of celebrating. After a big win, there was always a distinct electric feeling as we came back in the locker room that I’ve never felt elsewhere.

Career Paper I have always loved animals and working with them, but I would like to be able to help them when they are sick or injured. Although I love almost every animal, my goal would be to become an Equine Veterinarian. I have grown up loving horses as my mom would say, "When you were little you always wanted to be around horses, and when you couldn't be you were reading about them" (Rogers,D). My interest in becoming a Veterinarian really came full circle when I was asked to care for and bandage my neighbor's horse who had wounded her leg shortly before they planned to go on vacation in Mexico. It was my first real experience caring for a horse who had a serious injury, and watching her heal and being a part of that was eye opening.
