CANTLON'S CORNER: BOO NIEVES CARVING A NEW CAREER AT CENTER

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - The Hartford Wolf Pack's Boo Nieves brought his electric drum set to the Connecticut capitol as the musically inclined forward is not only working on perfecting his musical talent but is also working on making his own beat as a centerman as the new season that has commenced. “We have a lot of time on our hands, so I want to keep busy and stay sharp on the drums. I can play drums and piano a lot, still learning and play that pretty well. I play guitar, but really not that well,“ Nieves said with a laugh. Accepting the role of a defensive center is a tough one to embrace when headlines go to the goal scorers and point producers. On the one hand, you want to play as many minutes as possible in Hartford, because when he would get to New York, he would be a bottom-six forward. One the other hand though, to prepare for the role requires some sacrifice, even on minutes, and special teams and as a player, you'd play to a different beat. “It’s definitely a challenge for me. As a hockey player, you want to go out and score goals and get assists to help the team here. However, to get back there (to the NHL) they're doing a good job at getting me to manage my time here. So, I’m just gonna make the best of the time I have out there. It’s strange, no question, but I’m learning to handle it.” said Nieves reflectively. He did get his first goal of the season on a breakaway off a perfect lead pass that was banked off the center ice boards from Matt Beleskey. Nieves' attention to detail, by keeping his stick on the ice, and then by following his own rebound, paid off. Nieves' maturation as a player was demonstrated clearly in this play. “Beleskey is a veteran and he knows how to do those things and Kravtsov, he is a new guy and we're breaking him in. Those guys made my job pretty easy to put it in,” Nieves said. “In my first year, I might have passed up on the net on that play and turned my head in frustration when the first shot didn’t go in. I stayed with it, and was able to put it in and make it count.” Working on the 10-20 foot area around the net has been another aspect that he is building on to add to his playing calling card. “I'm really working on being a more hard-nosed player in front. Maybe the past few years, I was waiting to see somebody initiate the play, now I‘m taking the initial move to knock the player off the puck and make that first play,” said Nieves. Despite the line combo switch, the team felt last weekend his work with Beleskey gave him a template to build on. “You know when you come in with speed, he always is in position and you see the whacks he takes in front to be able to find the room for a tip-in or to find that rebound, which makes a difference.” For Pack head coach, Kris Knoblauch, and the staff getting a player to train for a specified NHL role clearly requires patience and persuasion. “When he gets the call, he’s gonna be a fourth-line guy, penalty killer, hard-to-play-against and getting into the offensive zone being able to protect and hold onto the puck, and of course taking important defensive zone draws. "I want him to play like he will with the Rangers. He isn’t on our power play now, but when we need him, we will absolutely use him. We're trying to balance getting these guys ready (for the NHL) playing in situations they will be involved in and we're playing him a lot here. “ His quick progress has Knoblauch excited. “The first night against Charlotte he wasn’t good on faceoffs, since then, he has been dominant. We want to put him in those situations with the puck as much as possible. There are about 60-70 faceoffs a game. We hope he’ll be in on 30 of them.” Selling a player on the defined role has its drawbacks and requires career diplomatic skills. “We had that conversation this week with two players. Everyone wants to have the ice time and score 30-40 goals, and they feel if they get noticed they will get called up by being atop the team in scoring. That’s true, but Boo and (Steven) Fogarty can lead this team in scoring and get top-six minutes, but I don’t think either player will fulfill that role with the Rangers. They want to help this team as much as possible, but they also want to work on their game and what will give them the best chance to get called up by the Rangers. "They both have been very receptive and professional in handling it." Nieves started last year dealing with post-concussion issues, but this year he is fresh and ready to go and focused solely on hockey. “It’s nice to start the year playing that’s for sure. Getting back to fundamentals and get everything in place and getting my timing in pace." The change in coaching, while sounding repetitive, has been a major change after years of stagnation for the Wolf Pack. The stagnation came for a variety of reasons. “We're not being over-coached, but we're getting the information to nail systems down, but allowing us to play. Not moving us to one side of the ice or something like that, just making sure we are in the right spots when the puck is dumped in on the attack giving us several different options to have us coming in waves.” Nieves is now in a leadership role as an assistant captain. That too is part of the musical ice score he is working on. “We have a nice core we're making here, and each weekend, we have been doing different things, but we're scratching clawing and were in games this year. It’s a good sign with this group were ready to battle and play.” Learning to play in the critical parts of the game, whether it's his major PK duty, or at the end of game-situations Nieves wants the challenge. “We're learning to be in the right spots. The six on five we had, we're learning how to react and how not to get running around and stay compact, and that's to play smart and off each other. Be patient when the center goes, then you go, or the other way (winger, then center),“ Nieves said. "He's at the jumping-off point and is evolving well early. We're not getting into the situation where it is it you go or I go, we know when to go. That’s the part of initiative I was describing.” He spent the offseason training in Connecticut and he and Rangers head coach, David Quinn, share a common Connecticut high school hockey school experience at Kent. “We talked about it a bit. We both loved our experiences there, and it's kinda cool to have something like that in common with your NHL coach. I didn’t expect it but going to a boarding school I met some really good people who I'm still friends with today,” Nieves said. His Nutmeg State ties also extend to two teammates who are now in Maine, with the team's ECHL affiliate, the Mariners, Terrence Wallin, and Ryan Dmowski both played at Gunnery Prep in Washington, CT. “I had a lot of battles with Wallin back in the day and a few other players who are now in the NHL, so we're scattered everywhere.” The drummer keeps the rhythm of a song, and Nieves hopes to be the beating it for his teammates leading to a winning season in Hartford, and perhaps as one of the bright lights of NYC as well. NOTES: Lots of players on the plus side of plus/minus. They're led by Filip Chytil, who's a plus-8. Ryan Lindgren is a plus-6, while Phil Di Guiseppe and Jeff LoVerde are both a plus-5. Logan Brown, the son of ex-Whaler, Jeff Brown, was recalled by Ottawa from Belleville. Ex-Sound Tiger, Alan Quine, was sent back to Stockton by Calgary. The first AHL trade of the season has Springfield sending defenseman Ian McCoshen to Rockford for one-time Rangers draft pick, Alexsei Saarela, who didn’t make the Chicago Blackhawks out of training camp. The Islanders are working on a deal to trade mercurial RW Josh Ho-Sang, who has refused to report to Bridgeport after clearing waivers. Two former Salisbury Prep players on the move. Francis Drolet, who played summer/winter hockey with the Newcastle Northstars (Australia-AIHL), signs with HC Amiens of the French Elite Magnus League. A current player, Matt DeBoer, announces an oral commit to Holy Cross (AHA) in 2021-22. His father, of course, is Peter DeBoer, the current head coach of the San Jose Sharks and his brother Jack is a sophomore at Boston University (HE). Former Texas Stars Samuel Laberge elects to play closer to home signing with the Sorel-Tracy Epriviers (LNAH). Read the full article

Bara en vecka kvar till årets stora jazzfest!

Fredagen den 11 okt och 10 dagar framåt fylls hela Stockholm med JAZZ! ”Med 174 programpunkter utspridda på 50 scener under tio dagar börjar vi känna oss redo att räkna ned till årets Stockholm Jazz Festival” säger Sara Asplund. Huvudansvaret för festivalen ligger på Faschings personal, vilket betyder en mycket liten administration i förhållande till evenemangets storlek. Liten är också arbetsytan på Fasching, men det tycks inte vara något bekymmer - det är en tät, trevlig stämning - dagtid kan man vid behov också utnyttja konsertsalen och foajébaren för samtal och möten.

På Fasching träffade vi personerna som bokar akter, marknadsför, sprider information och samordnar arbetet med jazzfesten. Från vänster Kasta Syty som är marknadsassistent till Sara och ansvarar för marknadsföringen i sociala medier och Jazzfestivalens Nyhetsbrev. Dessutom fixar hon dekorationer kring/på scenerna på Fasching, Nalen, Scala, Dansens Hus, Södra Teatern. I mitten sitter Sara Asplund som är festivalens kommunikationschef och även Faschings marknadschef. Under de sista dagarna innan jazzfesten arbetar Sara framför allt med pressfrågor - tex bokning av intervjuer med artister enligt journalisternas önskemål. Sedan länge är trycksaker som programhäften, affischer och annonser bokade och klara vilket ingen kan undgå att se - stan är vackert tapetserad med reklamtavlor om jazzfesten. Carolina Wallin Pérez, till höger på fotot, arbetar som koordinator. Det innebär att hon gör förproduktioner som hotellbokningar, transporter, catering och soundcheckschema efter artisternas sk Riders. Hon ansvarar också för festivalens volontärer som bla delar ut program och säljer artisterna skivor.

Trojkan bakom artistbokningarna - från vänster Gavin Mycroft, Thomas Wingren och Eric Birath, festivalchef och VD för Fasching. Det övergripande ansvaret för artistbokningarna har Magnus Palmquist Lunay.

Saxat ur årets programhäfte;  Även i år blir det 10 intensiva festivaldagar i mitten av oktober, fyllda till brädden med traditionell jazz, innovativ jazz och totalt nyskapande jazz. I vanligt ordning går det också att lyssna på funk, R&B, house, drum´n´bass och en rad andra musikgenrer - som på ett eller annat sätt har jazzen att tack för sin existens. Det blir konserter, filmvisningar, releasespelningar, öppna jazzsessioner och föredrag. Bland annat. Mycket nöje med att hitta din väg genom programmet - och varmt välkommen till Stockholm Jazz Festival 2019 säger Eric Birath Festivalchef” .

Nu gör vi lyssnare våra val - så svårt! Men, det är bråttom att boka platser och köpa biljetter, många konserter är utsålda sedan länge!  Läs allt om jazzfesten på www.stockholmjazz.se

'The Last Kingdom' star Alexander Dreymon Talks Strength Training, Horsemanship, and Staying Lean

Des Willie © Carnival

That HBO show is great and all, but if you like your medieval-style action a little more realistic and a little less...dragon-y, check out Netflix’s The Last Kingdom.

Based on Bernard Cornwell’s The Saxon Stories historical novels, the series follows Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a Saxon-born, Viking-raised warrior seeking revenge and power in 9th-century England. That means plenty of runnin’, ridin’ and ravagin’. Thankfully, Alexander Dreymon, the German-born, internationally raised thespian playing him, is built for the challenge.

Watch the season 3 trailer here:

What excites you about Uhtred?

I relate to him because I grew up in so many different places, and I always feel like the foreigner, and I think it’s the same for him. He always has to battle to prove himself. I also love that he’s very cheeky—he can be a bit of an asshole.

It’s a pretty physical role. How do you stay in shape?

A good friend once told me, “Every hour you spend at the gym is an hour you don’t spend at the library.” So when I’m not shooting, I do at least an hour of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and then 20 to 30 minutes of weightlifting. On set I do a lot of horse riding and sword fighting. That keeps you in shape. And last season, we had [1998 World’s Strongest Man] Magnus Samuelsson in the cast—one of the most beautiful human beings I’ve met. He has so much knowledge about how to strengthen your body.

[RELATED2]

What’s the biggest thing you learned from him?

Probably “it’s all in the head” because he’s such an example of perseverance and determination. He’s had moments where his back had bulging discs and he still broke world records.

Do you do a lot of the stunts yourself?

Oh yeah. I’ve learned so much from my stunt double, Tamás Katrics, and our stunt coordinator, Levente Lezsák, who does natural horsemanship. You feel a connection with the animal that goes way beyond anything I imagined—you can influence its behavior by controlling your own energy. That’s one of my favorite parts of the show. When I lived in South Dakota, I’d jump on a horse and just ride for hours, and all I’d see is buffalo herds. It’s the ultimate sense of freedom.

You’ve done your fair share of shirtless scenes. What do you eat to stay Viking-ripped?

I have a natural high metabolism, so I’m one of those types that people hate. But I am drawn to foods that happen to be healthy—vegetables, salads, fish. I think the closer it is to being alive, the better it must be for you.

Do you think the actual Vikings had six-packs?

I don’t know whether they cared much about the shape of their bodies, but they were certainly very strong, much stronger than we are now. You had to be in great shape just to survive the elements and the battles. Try running up a hill or jumping on your horse wearing 40 to 50 pounds of chainmail—it really makes a difference!

BIO BLAST

Age: 35

Height: 5'10"

Press Release:

The cryptic title iwillmedievalfutureyou1 dissolves time, pointing back and ahead at the same time. The artists present absurd and dystopian depictions of our current era, and through these works the exhibition aims to reflect the primitive aspect of our present day and our potential future. The works portray journeys through time and place. The exhibition can be seen as an epic tale of the future, displaying our dreams, our fantasies and how they fracture, fissure and fuse.

–Jacob Fabricius, Imorgen, 2019

Art Sonje Center proudly presents iwillmedievalfutureyou1, the fourth exhibition in a series of ten non- chronological group shows that tell an epic tale about the future through fantastical, oddball and dystopian depictions of the times in which we live. Cannibalising on existing exhibition architecture, the layout and display change with each edition of iwillmedievalfutureyou as it mutates into a new configuration of works. iwillmedievalfutureyou1 includes works by 20 artists, half of whom are specially invited for the exhibition at Art Sonje Center.

The exhibition attempts to mirror primitive and disruptive elements in our present existence and potential future; each artist presents a distinct depiction of the human condition, the destruction of human realities or ‘nonhuman’ conditions, coalescing into restored hopes and the development of a post-human state.

In the exhibition, mankind’s interference with the natural world interlinks with technology’s impact on the human body. Mounted on a wallpaper of genetically manipulated plants and animals, Lynn Hershmann Leeson’s video, Seduction of a Cyborg, depicts a technology-induced breakdown of the human immune system. In Will Benedict and Steffen Jørgensen’s dark sitcom The Restaurant, the grocery-delivering, half-man-half-snail protagonist Snailien demonstrates the versatility of the natural world, while Mire Lee’s mechanical, human-cum-alien-like sculptures appear to be harbingers of a new post-human evolutionary state.

The primitive and the grotesque characterise another strand of works in which medievalesque imagery and fantasies surface. Chased by an immense wall of fire, appropriated drawings of disabled people by Hieronymus Bosch populate a nightmarish contemporary gladiator’s game in the animation, EXIT, by Magnus Wallin, and, in a work by Rolf Nowotny, enlarged, metal renditions of ancient woodlice have the hallmarks of crude, futuristic armour. Collaborating with members of a Medieval Renaissant Swordsmanship Association and a game designer, Yun Choi explores contemporary desires for the Middle Ages in Seoul. In the work of Ovartaci, drawings of fantastical, retro-futuristic machines and alien bodies testify to a desire to overcome the boundaries between species, genders and the natural world. Eroding boundaries also influence the work of Kang Jungsuck, where reality and the immersive virtual reality of the gaming space coalesce.

Seemingly ushering in a new dark age, the menacing exhibition title performatively suspends our conception of linear time by fusing past and future. Time traveling would appear to be inevitable, and jet lag to be expected, but are we about to encounter an old future or a new past? As futurologist Alvin Toffler has remarked, “The future always comes too fast and in the wrong order.”

Conceived and realised by Jacob Fabricius, iwillmedievalfutureyou is a series of exhibitions that will appear in ten different iterations throughout the course of 100 years. In 2016, iwillmedievalfutureyou4 initiated the exhibition series at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde (DK). Later the same year, the second iteration, iwillmedievalfutureyou5, unfolded at Kunsthal Aarhus, which also hosted the third instalment, iwillmedievalfutureyou6, in 2018.

Since 2017, Art Sonje Center and Kunsthal Aarhus have collaborated on a number of projects and exhibitions. In addition to iwillmedievalfutureyou1 at Art Sonje Center, the collaboration also includes a solo exhibition by Hwayeon Nam at Kunsthal Aarhus opening in October 2019. Earlier this year, Art Sonje Center also collaborated with Kunsthal Aarhus, when Kunsthal Aarhus hosted the exhibition Water from Ganges River in the Cup Made with Newspaper from Congo by Kim Beom.
