Kieffer Bellows (USNTDP) – USHL In what projects to be a difficult game, Daniel Vladar will be entrusted with goaltending duties against the United States Development Team this weekend. Vladar was considered as one of the best Czech goaltenders for his age group, and was highly successful during his junior career with HC Kladno back home. In North America for the first time, the adjustment to the smaller ice surface has been a challenging one, especially for such a position cognizant goaltender like Vladar. He has been given the majority of the starts for Chicago thus far, and will hope to improve upon his .896 save-percentage. Kieffer Bellows is no stranger to the USHL, having recently won a Clark Cup with the Sioux Falls Stampede. One of the premier players in the league, Bellows addition to the United States Development Team is a positive step in his development, as he will continue to be challenged throughout the year against higher levels of competition than just the USHL.

Jon Spoelestra’s Ice to the Eskimos was very interesting and informative. Throughout the entire book, Spoelestra reflected upon the experiences and knowledge that he gained from working in the sports industry. One interesting aspect of the book was Spoelestra’s principle that organizations should design “an offer that consumers cannot refuse” (Spoelestra, 1997, p. 199). This was particularly interesting to me because of my interest in finance. Initially, I thought that if you make an offer too good, that you could potentially be losing out on some profit, however, after reading this book, this principle makes perfect sense.

Casey Cizikas centers the Islanders fourth line. Some would say it’s ‘THE’ fourth line in the National Hockey League today. With Cal Clutterbuck on his right and imposing Matt Martin on his left, the trio has forged a remarkable chemistry as a unit and the regard in which they are held in their head coach’s eyes can be seen with the situations they often find themselves in. Jack Capuano is not afraid to use them at any time, in any zone. He almost always orders the line over the boards after the Islanders have surrendered a goal to quickly regain momentum.
