BORN IN THE U.S.-EH: From the outdoor skating rinks to the beloved Maple Leafs, Toronto makes lasting impact on projected 2019 first overall NHL pick Jack Hughes

Nov 27, 2018

PLYMOUTH, Mich. — It was like watching a magician pull a quarter from behind someone’s ear. After the fact, you could piece together what had happened but in the moment everyone was fooled, most notably the three dizzied Dubuque defenders.

The ever-evolving magic show of 17-year-old Jack Hughes, the consensus No. 1 pick in the 2019 NHL draft in Vancouver this June, was in fine form on a recent Sunday afternoon inside the USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Mich., on the outskirts of Detroit.

Hughes’ USA Hockey National Team Development Program under-18 squad was leading comfortably early into the third period of a United States Hockey League contest against the Fighting Saints — a team comprised of mostly 19- and 20-year-olds — when the top prospect pulled this particular rabbit from his hat. The play began when Hughes intercepted a haphazard clearing attempt. He then went to work, first cutting ever-so slightly to his left to find a seam — or, rather, create a seam — between a pair of helpless Dubuque players at their own blue line. Hughes coolly gained the zone and outsmarted one more opposing player before sliding a precise pass to teammate Cole Caufield, who easily cashed in, at which point the team’s play-by-play man proclaimed, “he made that look almost too easy.”

The announcer was referencing the goal-scorer but he could also have been talking about Hughes, the team captain and best player on the ice this day by a country mile.

When you're playing with him, you've got to expect the unexpected. Teammate Cole Caufield

“He created a 2-on-1 out of a 3-on-2 for them,” said Caufield, himself a projected first-rounder in what is an American-heavy 2019 draft class. “When you’re playing with him, you’ve got to expect the unexpected and you have to trust him. You kind of know he’s going to make the right play.”

Hughes’ U-18 coach at the USNTDP, John Wroblewski, recalled similar wizardry from his star centre earlier this season against Dartmouth College. That day the magic started with an opposing defender having a “clear-cut, 99% chance” at exiting the zone with the puck, before Hughes stripped him of the puck, found Caufield, and Darmouth yanked its net off the moorings to prevent a goal. “You watch it on tape and you’re just, ‘oh my god.’ That is, I think, his defining quality: When he’s on … when he’s buzzing, you’d better have eyes in the back of your head because he is going to hunt you right down and that puck is going the other way as soon as he gets on top of you.”

It’s all to say, the #LoseForHughes social media hashtag has wide circulation for a reason: Jack Hughes could be worth tanking for. As a frame of reference, consider that in early March he broke the NTDP’s season scoring record for a player in his under-17 season (87 points in 46 games), averaging 1.92 points through 51 games and surpassing point-per-game marks of Auston Matthews (1.13) and Patrick Kane (1.11), the last two Americans selected first overall in the same age category. As a 16-year-old, facing teams made up mostly of 18- to 20-year-olds, Hughes registered 116 points in 60 games, which is one point shy of the program record set by Maple Leafs superstar Matthews who was a year older than Hughes at the time.

While he might not be mentioned in the same breath as generational talents such as Connor McDavid or Matthews — only time will complete that story — Hughes is viewed as a genuine No. 1 pick, the type of franchise-player-in-the-making an NHL team builds around. Though he’s a centre, the 5-foot-10, 168-pound Hughes has regularly been compared to similar-in-stature Blackhawks superstar winger Kane (his childhood idol), with emphasis on his grade-A skating ability, high-end hockey IQ, puck skills and that previously mentioned knack for creating offence out of thin air.

Yes, it’s early days. There’s a pile of hockey to be played between now and June, including the world junior championship beginning Boxing Day, where draft positioning can shift greatly based on performance. (The hype train will surely roar off its tracks in Vancouver and Victoria, where Hughes and his older brother, Quinn, a Michigan Wolverines defenceman and NTDP graduate selected seventh overall by the Vancouver Canucks last summer, are expected to don stars and stripes jerseys together.) Still, at this moment there is little to debate about whose name will be called first by a smiling NHL general manager eight months from now. As one Eastern Conference scout told The Toronto Sun: “If you look at first overall picks as a whole, he certainly fits that criteria. He’s certainly a dynamic talent. There’s a good group that could push him, but it’s Jack’s to lose right now.”

Hughes wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Any time you dream of something like that, you’re not dreaming to be the second or third pick overall,” said Hughes, who is chased only by Finnish forward Kaapo Kakko in the race for first overall. “You always want to be No. 1, the best. It’s really important to me.”

TORONTO, THE GOOD

There was little Jack Hughes, four years old, skating on a frozen baseball field in plain view from the classroom window in Mississauga. Inside the classroom, staring out at Jack and his dad Jim, was older brother Quinn, who might as well have been in jail.

The Hughes family home rang.

“Can you please not go out there? It’s really distracting. All he wants to do is watch you guys,” their mother, Ellen, recalls a school official pleading with her.

The Hughes family has always had an almost religious devotion to the frozen game, forever seeking out competition of the highest order. And the GTA – most notably the city-run outdoor rinks – holds a special place in their hearts. After all, it’s where the three Hughes boys — Quinn, now 19, Jack, now 17, and Luke, now 15 — grew their unbridled passion for the sport.

But when Jim took a job as an assistant with the American Hockey League’s Marlies and moved the family to Canada’s most populated city, this family that loved hockey gained a new level of access to the sport. When they weren’t playing for the city’s top youth hockey teams including the Mississauga Rebels and Toronto Marlboros, the boys spent every minute of their free time either on the outdoor rink at Wedgewood Park in Etobicoke, or touring around to watch Leafs, Marlies or Ontario Hockey League games. They were living and breathing hockey 24/7, in a hockey mad metropolis that encouraged that sort of behaviour.

“When we first moved to Canada, the first thing that was apparent to us was that hockey was in the culture, the society,” Jim Hughes said. “Everywhere you looked, kids were wearing jerseys to school. Just from a cultural standpoint … it’s on the radio, it’s on TV, it’s multiple games, it’s everywhere you look, hockey. It was just a fantastic place for the kids to grow up and and really grow their passion.”

It only intensified when Jim became head of player development with the Maple Leafs (after spending 11 years with the organization, he now works for renowned player agent Pat Brisson at CAA).

Jim recalled sneaking young Jack up to the ACC press box for a Leafs game shortly after being hired during the John Ferguson Jr. era. Healthy scratch Carlo Colaiacovo was sitting next to him, and broadcaster Dick Irvin was sitting next to Jack.

“I said to Jack, don’t move. Here’s your popcorn,” Jim said with a chuckle.

With tickets being sparse, expensive and usually both — even for Leafs staffers — Ellen would often drop her boys and some of their friends off at the gates, sending them on their way with standing-room ducats.

“It was sick,” Jack, a self-proclaimed die-hard Leafs fan, said of his time spent watching games from up near the rafters inside the ACC, noting he and his young friends would politely decline offers of beer from the boozehounds who dominate those quarters. “The atmosphere was unbelievable. If you go to any sporting event you’ll know that the die-hards are in the second section, standing-room only. It was pretty rowdy up there.”

Jack has met Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby – one of his childhood idols – on a few occasions, and this past summer skated alongside NHLers such as Jason Spezza, Taylor Hall and John Tavares.

For Jim there is no doubt that Toronto is where his boys fell in love with the sport.

HOCKEYTOWN, USA

If Toronto provided the memories, Michigan provided the springboard.

While Jack continues to hone his craft with the NTDP, older brother Quinn, a Canucks defence prospect, is starring with the Michigan Wolverines down the road in Ann Arbor, and 15-year-old Luke plays minor midget with the Detroit Little Caesars.

Luke, the youngest Hughes brother, appears positioned to follow in his brothers’ footsteps and join the top American junior-aged development program next season. If he were to find his way into the first round of the 2022 NHL draft, they would become the first three American brothers drafted in the first round.

Alex Turcotte, a fellow projected first-rounder and NTDP teammate, rooms with Jack and his parents in Plymouth, while San Jose Sharks first-round pick and Ottawa Senators property Josh Norris lives with Quinn in Ann Arbor. It’s a family affair at the rinks in Detroit, Plymouth and Ann Arbor, with the players often dropping in to watch their siblings’ games with mom and dad.

“It was kind of logical,” Jim said of the move across the border.

“It’s just another great hockey hub,” Ellen added, “It’s been a really great transition.”

‘HE’S A KILLER’

If there’s one thing instantly noticeable when watching Jack Hughes in a game – aside from his almost comically effortless skating stride – it’s his sense of urgency. He wants to be on the ice, he wants the puck, he wants to make a play, he wants to score and he wants it all five minutes ago.

It was no different this day at USA Hockey Arena. The puck was dropped to signal the start of the Sunday afternoon game against the visiting Fighting Saints and the first shift had passed, then the second and the third. Hughes, straddling one leg over the boards at his bench, clearly anxious as he awaited his first assignment. When he finally got the tap on the shoulder from coach Wroblewski, Hughes was not initially feeling it. A giveaway while attempting to carry the puck from behind his own net preceded a fruitless power play quarterbacked by the double-shifted Hughes, who, upon arrival back at the bench, kicked his skate against the boards – an early, if not rare sign of frustration by the player wearing No. 6.

“You might be able to shut him down for a period, but when he plays that way and sticks to it and just says, ‘I’m not going to get denied,’ there’s not a league that can stop him,” Wroblewski said.

“The game is more fun when you have the puck on your stick. I love to get on the ice, I’ll tell you that. It excites me. I just love to be out there competing and making plays out there. That’s kind of what puts a smile on my face,” said Hughes.

Scott Monaghan, the NTDP’s senior director of operations who has been with the program since its formation more than 20 years ago, can only recall being similarly impressed by two other players at first sight: Forward Phil Kessel (fifth overall, Boston, 2006) and defenceman Seth Jones (fourth overall, Nashville, 2013).

“He’s a killer. He wants to be in the game. He wants to score. He wants to win more than anything,” said Monaghan, who served as general manager for Team USA at the under-18 world championship in Russia last winter, where Hughes was named tournament MVP. “You watch him, he just flows. He glides and he can shift gears to faster and then you put the stick skills and the vision together with that.

“There he is, he’s back on the ice and you’re just following him for the whole shift until he goes back on the bench,” Monaghan added. “Even if he disappears somewhere for a minute, he pops right back up and he’s got the puck again. The puck gravitates to him. And he knows how to play in the big trees.”

Coach Wroblewski was equally blown away he first saw Hughes on the ice two years ago.

“It was tremendous to watch him with a group of kids that were two years older than him, how he could still just dominate the surface,” Wroblewski said. “He was still very small and slight back then. But he had this ability to navigate through traffic. How he could kind of freeze the opposition even though it’s guys that are two years older than him and much more mature in regards to their defensive habits. He could still freeze them up and open up his teammates.”

It all has scouts high on Hughes, the Florida-born, Toronto-raised, Michigan-based NHL superstar-in-waiting ahead of what appears to be a particularly strong draft class for American and Western Hockey League players. There were dozens of talent evaluators on hand for the recent Sunday game in Plymouth, including Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland, whose team could be in the thick of the draft lottery proceedings by season’s end.

He's got great ability with the puck, just to kind of create offence from so many different ways; using his skill, using his speed, using his sense. Eastern Conference scout

“He’s got great ability with the puck, just to kind of create offence from so many different ways; using his skill, using his speed, using his sense,” said the Eastern Conference scout, noting Hughes tends to try to do a bit too much by himself at times, but that shouldn’t be viewed with concern for possible suitors.

NO PRESSURE

How has Hughes handled the pressure that comes with being the expected No. 1 overall pick?

By all accounts, with ease.

Hughes has managed to maintain an excellent pace thus far. He enters the month of December leading his team in points (nine goals and 43 points through 22 games played for an average of 1.95 PPG), while also thriving against college opponents, including a three-point game against the Michigan Wolverines which saw him face off against brother Quinn for the first time. Hughes recently led all players at the Five Nations tournament in the Czech Republic with six goals and 16 points in four games as the U.S. 2001-birth year group moved its undefeated streak on international ice to 18 games dating back to October 2017.

If he is feeling any heat, the forward isn’t letting on.

“There’s a lot of scouts and a lot of eyes on us every day, every game we have … and I think he has the most pressure on him obviously,” his teammate Caufield said. “He doesn’t let that affect him at all. He’s not too worried about anything like that right now. He just goes day by day and it’s really cool to see him not get too anxious about anything and just take every day as one at a time and go from there.”

Hughes said it has never been in his nature to be easily distracted by any outside forces — something he says he learned at an early age while starring in minor hockey in the “crazy hockey market” of Toronto. He also leans on his dad’s advice to “just keep your feet on the ground” and stay in the moment, and has benefited from seeing first-hand all that was involved when his brother went through the draft process last year.

Hockey is...so important in my life. Jack Hughes

“Of course it’s a big year. It’s kind of just one step closer to the ultimate dream, to play in the NHL,” Hughes said. “But for me, I’m kind of just taking it day by day and trying to enjoy it and trying to get better here at the NTDP. Honestly, I don’t really feel any pressure. I feel like I just want to do great and I know I’ll do great, so I just continue to come here and have fun.”

As to which teams might be in the hunt for Hughes, it’s safe to say it won’t be his beloved Maple Leafs, an organization that’s currently trending upwards. At the end of the day, Hughes will be content with an opportunity to take the next big step toward his dream.

“I know there’s a lot out there other than just hockey. Hockey is just a small thing in a big world,” he said. “But it’s so important in my life. I spend so much time thinking about it. I have such a love for it. Honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without it.”

BEST TEAM EVER?

PLYMOUTH, Mich. — While Jack Hughes will command the bulk of the attention in the months leading up to the 2019 NHL draft in June, his teammates won’t be overlooked.

To hear the NTDP’s senior director of operations describe it, this year’s under-18 team could be the program’s strongest ever, joining the conversation alongside the 1984 birth-year group that included Ryan Kesler, Patrick Eaves and Jimmy Howard, the 1987-birth year team that featured Phil Kessel and Jack Johnson, and the 1997 birth-year squad that included Auston Matthews and Jeremy Bracco.

“But I think we’ll know more after next year in terms of where they fit in the overall pantheon,” said Scott Monaghan, who has been with the U.S. program since its formation more than 20 years ago.

Being surrounded by so much high-end talent should only benefit Hughes, who is projected to go first overall.

“He is obviously a very special player, but we see a lot of special things from various individuals on this team,” under-18 head coach John Wroblewski said. “Jack is right there at the top, but these other guys aren’t far behind him. They’re neck and neck as far as I’m concerned.”

Added fellow projected first-round pick, defenceman Alex Vlasic: “Having a ton of focus on (Hughes), obviously, it will bring focus to the team in general, so we’re obviously thankful for that. It’s just a great experience to be playing with such a great player.”

Last year, six players with ties to the NTDP were selected in the first round.

SENSORY FRIENDLY HOCKEY

No pre-game warmup music, no video replay, no PA announcer. To say the atmosphere inside USA Hockey Arena during a recent Sunday matinee was subdued would be putting it mildly.

But that was the whole idea, as USA Hockey hosted its first Sensory Friendly Day in partnership with the Autism Alliance of Michigan late last month.

When the under-18 American squad lined up for the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, there was no music pumped in – just a lone young singer without a microphone. So the players started singing, or doing their best variation of that.

“I hear them (singing) on the bus all the time. They’d better stick to hockey,” said coach John Wroblewski with a laugh.

The arena lighting away from the ice surface was dimmed, two suites at centre ice were designated quiet rooms for children who might need them, and ear plugs and gluten-free options were available at the concession stands.

It was all geared towards making the game as comfortable as possible for children with special needs.

The Hughes family thrives on competition, so it should come as no surprise that an annual Peel Region school board cross-country race ranks among the most memorable events for the family during their time in the GTA.

“It’s something away from the hockey rink,” Jim Hughes said of the meet he and his wife would always make sure their hockey standout sons, Quinn, Jack and Luke, signed up for. “You go in the woods and you run in the mud, in the rain, and you come out of the woods and somebody’s (No. 1), somebody’s two, somebody’s three …

“It was a different challenge away from hockey rinks and it was just almost refreshing,” he added, noting the boys’ athleticism and fierce competitive nature would usually lead them to a podium finish.

Nolan is not a piece of shit because he’s from winnipeg, manitoba or “buttfuck nowhere” as you do nicely called it. He is from Winnipeg, a city with more people than metro Vancouver! google is free if u don’t believe me. don’t make excuses for him.

he is a shit person because he choose to be, and if you think location determines a person actions, go back to school. he chooses to follow red pill accounts. he chooses to listen to conspiracy based podcasts. he chooses to spend his unemployed time subtweeting his ex coworkers and workplaces, most of whom forgot about him until he the fake retirement announcement.

fun fact: Manitoba has a NDP leader (for the American’s that’s a socialist democrat vs Trump jr) so unless that anon is from BC, you don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to where your from. The dumbdumbs from ButtFuck Manitoba could vote more progressively than your educated metropolis.

one more thing: the retirement announcement, how did y’all not get that? the only person who doesn’t know Nolan’s career is over is Nolan. even if he makes a miracle recovery (which based on the tweets about smoking weed all day and the amount of OnlyFans creators he replies to, he has other more important things to train for), no NHL team wants a player that hasn’t even conditioning for over 3 years. Nolan Patrick is the most Canadian example of a hockey has been.

Stay in school kids.

*So this anon went off, and this was from a week and a bit ago, so I don't know which other anon/post they're referencing*

I am pretty sure he knows his career is over... and hasn't made any efforts into getting back to the league or any league really lol.

I think unfortunately a lot of people have heard negative things about Manitoba and how people can be down there in general that it's hard not to go ''Oh he's from Manitoba makes sense''. So it can be easy to just start stereotyping. Though yes! I do agree that people miss the fact geographic location doesn't always contribute to people's choices and character, because pieces of shit's exist everywhere and in every part of the world, because as you said people have there own free thoughts and choices.

I know some people will probably start talking about his dad influencing him, but if we just removed him from the equation... in my opinion I think he was definitely never going to be this liberal-progressive person (sorry folks) and I kind of concluded that myself even before seeing his parents media and the burners.

All About River City

This post is for anyone interested in knowing more about River City and/or why I chose it as the setting for my latest and last story in my "A Few Sparks Before The Fire" JaySteph fanfic series. *Spoiler Free*

Why River City?

I wanted this story, and Jason and Steph’s case, to be outside of Gotham so I could isolate them and build on their romance away from the rest of the Batfam. I also wanted to find a city without a lot of canon content so I could play a bit with worldbuilding as I’d like to write a non-fanfic story someday. When looking up various cities in the DC universe I came across River City and noticed it fit my criteria for a somewhat blank canvas. Outside it being the home base for a minor character from back in the day, Odd Man, and a one-time random meeting spot for a Jimmy Olsen storyline, it seemed like a great sandbox to play in. It also has connections to Gotham as an older version of Odd Man and his daughter, Debbie Stoner, are involved in the Mother Panic comic.

Where is River City?

Based on the connections mentioned above I assumed it was close to Gotham, relatively speaking, but in the Jimmy Olsen comic he mentions it taking him all day to get there. In this regard I decided to go with headcanon and say it’s somewhere between Gotham and Metropolis (and if it took Jimmy all day, then maybe he took the bus and the bus broke down somewhere along the way or his flight had lots of connections and delays). Trenton, New Jersey is the approximate distance marker I’ve used in the story, since it’s near the Delaware River (a “river city”) and would be somewhere between Gotham and Metropolis if we’re saying Gotham is in southern New Jersey and Metropolis is near NYC (though I know it’s previously been in Delaware).

So is River City a fictional Trenton, NJ?

No. River City is not a substitute for Trenton as that’s just one reference I’ve used. I’ve also referenced bits and pieces of other nearby cities like Philadelphia and New Brunswick, NJ. Most of my references are for climate, architecture, and imagery for my own creative musing as well as the promo postcard image for the story along with a few other things. Basically, River City is its own fictional place and that’s why I picked it as it can be whatever I make it while still having a general base as a small city on the east coast.

Who are the characters in River City?

For the sake of the mystery I’ve created a bunch of OCs, though there are a few easter eggs for known DC characters connected to River City. Anyone else not from canon is completely made up. Maybe they’re suspects, friends, allies, enemies, all or none of the above. Again, this is me stretching my creative and worldbuilding legs. Also, any names, likenesses, etc. not associated with DC comics are completely made up and not in reference to anyone living or dead. So my apologies if a name pops up and it’s your name or someone you know. They’re random and I tried to come up with unique names and names that immediately don’t pop-up as someone famous or well-known in a Google search.

What’s River City like? Is it more like Gotham, Metropolis, or someplace else?

You’ll just have to read and see. What I will say is that I wanted it to feel a bit cozy. It’s not as big as Gotham or Metropolis, thus no real superheroes in town, but I wanted it to feel big enough to be spread out. One reference that is often in my brain is Central City from the CW series ‘The Flash’. Minus whatever opinions of the show one might have, I really liked the cozy feel of what was created on that show, especially Joe West’s house and later Barry and Iris’s apartment in the city. So yeah, that’s the vibe. Also, I know a lot of that show was filmed in Vancouver (on the other side of North America), but hey… vibes.

Will there be more fics set in River City?

At this point, I don’t know. I don’t have any real plans for revisiting River City, except for one, but that’s a bit of a spoiler for a future series. As mentioned above, River City is me having fun doing some worldbuilding and playing around with Jason and Steph in a new place for the holidays.

Any other questions I missed or that you have on your mind?

Just drop me an ‘Ask’ I’ll see what I can and can’t answer… either because it’s a spoiler or I really don’t know.

PLAGIARISM & REFERENCING - NOTES

What counts as Plagiarism?

Plagiarism means taking information or ideas from another writer intentionally or unintentionally and using them in your own work, without acknowledging the source in an accepted manner. In academic work, plagiarism can be a serious offense.

Plagiarism can be punished in a court for prejudices caused by copyright infringement, violation of moral rights, or torts.

Submitting someone else’s work as your own or without credit, pasting in phrases and ideas from a variety of sources, hiring someone to write for you, as well as using artificial intelligence to write your paper are all considered plagiarism.

In academic settings, established research carries more weight than personal experience, so it’s always best to refer to a published source.

Common knowledge (either general knowledge or facts that can be assumed to be common knowledge in a particular industry) is generally exempt from needing to be backed up with sources.

Confidential information can be included in academic writing only so long as appropriate permission is provided by the affected parties.

How do you avoid plagiarism?

Plagiarism can be avoided by making use of methods such as the following:

Paraphrasing (Putting the ideas in a passage into our own words, usually following the order of the ideas in the original. All major ideas are included, and source is cited at the end.)

Summarizing (Similar to paraphrasing, but only lists only the key points and headings, and is only ⅓ the length of the original passage. Source cited at the end.)

Direct quotes with citations (Uses the exact words of the source and replaces any omitted words with ellipses.)

Referencing (When using information read in another source, creating a citation to the source in the text of your document, which refers the reader to the full reference in a reference list or bibliography at the end of the document.)

Depending on the referencing style being used, there are three standard systems for citing sources.

1. Author – Date system (Harvard)

2. Numeric system (Vancouver)

3. Notes and Bibliography system (MHRA)

Common methods of referencing include Harvard Referencing, APA Referencing, MLA Referencing, Vancouver Referencing and Chicago Referencing.

DAY 03: ACADEMIC WRITING

We learnt and understood the terms and consequences of plagiarism when referencing anything.

Plagiarism: the act of representing the words, ideas, or expressions of another author as one's own original work (wikipedia). This can happen accidentally or on purpose, and it is illegal to do so if the original source is not properly cited. In addition, it is a crime that carries consequences for violating moral rights, copyright, or other laws.

some examples of this would be using someone else's writing as your own, purchasing information from a website or assembling phrases, concepts, and sentences from multiple sources to compose an essay

with how technology has advanced, The use of AI chats would be one of the most common methods for children to get their hands on for copying.

However there are methods to avoid plagiarism (accidently or not)

-paraphrasing -summarizing -direct quotes with citations -referencing

With how universities work, there are many referencing styles and citation styles such as. (taken from the slides in class). -Harvard Referencing -APA Referencing -MLA Referencing -Vancouver Referencing -Chicago Referencing -IEEE Referencing -MHRA Referencing -OSCOLA Referencing

With how our module goes, we will mainly use harvard referencing.

One important fact to denote is that common knowledge references is not necessarily a must to be citated as it is widely known such as facts, dates, events and other general knowledge.

Hans Zimmer talks about first North American tour dates in 7 years, the magic of composing for film

LOS ANGELES

For generations, German composer Hans Zimmer 's film scores have soundtracked magic movie moments in “The Lion King,” “Gladiator," the “Dark Knight” trilogy, and most recently, “Dune” and “Dune: Part Two.” This fall, Zimmer will bring his award-winning scores to the live stage.

His “Hans Zimmer Live” tour, which sold out in Europe, will make its way to the U.S. and Canada this fall, marking the first time Zimmer has performed in North America in seven years.

The last time, as some fans may recall, was a 2017 Coachella performance.

Over Zoom from New York, Zimmer said he was inspired after “refusing to get onto a stage for 40 years” because of something his friends, The Smiths' Johnny Marr and Pharrell Williams, told him.

“You have to look your audience in the eye. You can’t hide behind the screen forever. You know, you owe it to your, you know, audience,” he says they told him. And after Coachella, he realized: “I can do this,” he said.

Having done the run in Europe, “we're at the top of our game at the moment,” he says of his orchestra.

Don't expect a traditional, classical music setting or a piano concerto — at “Hans Zimmer Live,” there is no conductor, no sheet music in front of each musician, and not a single frame from any of the films he's referencing.

“I come from rock and roll and I believe in putting on a show,” he says. “People stay with us because we give them an experience which they’ve never had before... Life is hard. Life is tough these days. And people worked hard to go to pay for these tickets, so we better pull off a show that is absolutely worthy of them coming and seeing us."

“Hans Zimmer Live” kicks off at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Ga. on Sept. 6 and will hit 17 cities across the U.S. and Canada before concluding at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia on Oct. 6.

The tour includes stops in Hollywood, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; New York; Baltimore; Boston; Montreal and Toronto; Minneapolis; Chicago; Fort Worth, Texas; Denver; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; Oakland, California, and Seattle.

Zimmer says attendees can expect a diverse audience. “I’ve looked out at the audience and there’s a mom with her grandson sitting next to a guy with a mohawk, sitting next to a man in a business suit, sitting next to another bunch of, you know, bikers,” Zimmer said. “So, it’s not just multi-generational, it’s multicultural.”

In more ways than one: Zimmer’s orchestra is from Ukraine; “Two weeks after the invasion started, we managed to get about half of them out of Odessa,” he says. Lebo M, who sings “The Lion King” theme, was a political refugee from South Africa when Zimmer first met him. Pedro Eustache, his woodwind player, is from Venezuela, “and he thinks he can probably never go back home,” says Zimmer.

“I have this very, very international group of players and ... part of what makes them such emotionally committed musicians is that they all have a story to tell you.”

“Hans Zimmer Live,” which has been recently rearranged, includes works from “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight,” “Interstellar,” “The Lion King,” “The Last Samurai,” and “Dune.”

“Each piece is connected with the adventure of actually creating it, the adventure of actually making that movie, the adventure of the collaboration, the adventure of, you know, ‘How did we get here?", he says. "Where did this journey start? And how can we make sure that it never ends?

“Each one of those movies is painted in color and affected by what is going on around us. And they have all been extraordinary journeys.”

All of these films and their scores are vastly different, but Zimmer's idiosyncratic approach and arrangements should be considered the connective tissue. That, and a certain je ne sais quoi that makes an effective — and affecting — score.

“You need to be committed. You need to be honest. You can’t be sentimental,” he says of a successful score. “The other thing is, it’s the people who are performing it. Because if you think about it, the last actors that really get hired, the last actors that perform in a movie, are the musicians. So, I’m very careful about picking the people I work with.”

Tickets for “Hans Zimmer Live” will become available for purchase at www.hanszimmerlive.com, starting at March 22 at 10 am local time.

fic prompt: in the future (couple hundred years or more) Nile and Quynh (lets presume that she rejoins the team in the next movie) go to find a new immortal

"Did you dream of it, when Andy came to find me?"

Quỳnh, in the midst of the lander's pre-flight checklist, cracks a smile. "We will not be shooting anyone in the head today," she says.

"No we won't," Nile sighs. They have time to be gentle to the new one, in delivering them to this life. Things aren't quiet by any means, which is why Joe and Nicky and Booker are staying with the ship. But no one is actively hunting them down for the moment.

And Nile and Quỳnh are not Andy. They both have plenty to grieve, but they don't carry it alone out of some misplaced responsibility to protect the others.

"When she found me," Quỳnh starts. She's quiet for the countdown to uncoupling, then she tries again as the lander detaches. "When we found Yusuf and Nicolò, we had dreamed of them for years. It was like coming home. There was so much they had already accepted and worked through together. I'm sure they struggled more than I saw, but they made it look easy."

"And when she found you?" Nile says, because long ago, Quỳnh made Nile promise that she would help her face these things.

Quỳnh is silent until gravity takes hold of the lander. "I did not make anything easy for her."

Nile laughs aloud.

There are more people scattered across the solar system than there are left on Earth now, but the new one didn't die on a colony or a station. Maybe it's Earth itself that grants them this gift. Maybe their feet must be planted on the soil or the sand in order to rise again.

From the flashes in their dreams and some cross-referencing with their Terran contact, they determined that the new one is in the NT Underground. Their first death was excruciating, crushed under stone in a collapsed tunnel. And then they got right back up and kept fighting. Every time she dreams, Nile feels their fear, their confusion, their loneliness, and the force of their will.

She checks their trajectory on the screen, then cranes her neck to look out the tiny window. "It's so weird to be back here. There's more ocean than I remember."

"Yes," Quỳnh says in a faraway voice.

They put down outside Alice Springs and start making their inquiries. The locals don't warm to outsiders, and there is no one more outside than the two of them--but Quỳnh has a way of winning the trust of dangerous and frightened people.

That evening they are escorted through limestone chambers to a dim and smokey room, where a figure is surrounded by... well, the first word that comes to Nile's mind, based on body language alone, is disciples. All the other people here are oriented toward the new one, waiting for whatever they'll say next.

A freedom fighter who can't die would look an awful lot like a savior.

But whoever they were before, they were not a leader, and they haven’t had the time Nile has to grow into the role. They shrink from the deference their associates show them now. "Can you give us the room?" they ask with an attempt at authority. The others slip away quietly.

When it's just the three of them, Nile sits on the edge of a supply crate and says, "My name is Nile. This is Quỳnh. How should we call you?"

"Gotjan, for now." Their chin stays jutted, lips tight. Gotjan is plump, and richly brown as the earth, with a head of loose curls faded by sun at the ends. Maybe a handful of years older than Nile was at her first death.

"Pronouns?" Quỳnh prompts.

"She. You?"

"Same," Nile says.

"Whatever works," Quỳnh says.

For an instant it looks like Gotjan might smile, but she steels herself again. "Why have you come here?"

"To meet you," Nile says as Quỳnh takes a handheld cutter from her bag. "The dreams are how we find each other."

The cutter sparks. Quỳnh sears a line across her palm without a whimper, and holds it up as it heals.

Gotjan's eyes go wide. "Who's we?" she breathes.

"You, me, Quỳnh, and those three men you've been dreaming of, back on our ship. They're waiting for you to join us."

"Six," Gotjan says. "There are six of us?" She lets out an incredulous laugh. "Do you know what we could accomplish with six of us?"

Nile hears that we for what it is: the Underground. She knows perfectly well what six of them can accomplish.

Gently she says, "We aren't running missions on Earth, for the time being. It got a little too hot for us." They need to wait out a few overhauls of physical media, until all the records of what they did in Vancouver forty years ago pass out of memory. "But there are a lot of ways to help a cause."

"From space?" Gotjan takes a step back. "No. I'm not leaving. I lost everything--those bastards took everything from me, and I finally have a chance to do something about it."

This is something Nile expected from the conviction she felt in the dreams, though it's novel to her. When Nile was new, she had only begun to realize how much she didn't believe in what she had fought for.

She says, "Have you ever killed anyone?"

Gotjan swallows. Yeah, that's what Nile thought.

"We're not here to force you to do anything," she soothes. "If you want us to go without you, we will, and Joe and Nicky and Booker will keep dreaming of you. We'll know if you're in trouble and we'll always come back. But before you make that decision, you need to think about whether staying will do the Underground any good. If you're captured, they can kill you and kill you, and your mind will crack eventually, and that's when they'll get secrets out of you that will lead to the deaths of people you love."

She can see from the shadow that passes across Gotjan's eyes and the way she slants her face away from them that she is thinking about it.

But before Gotjan can answer, Quỳnh says, "No."

Nile gives her a vexed look, which she ignores. She always picks the most inconvenient fucking times to go off script.

"No," Quỳnh says again, "we won't leave you behind. None of us should ever be alone. If you stay, we will stay and fight beside you to whatever end. If you run from us, we will follow. You can hate us for it, but we won't be moved."

Her voice is a thread reaching back thousands of years. It raises the hairs on Nile's arms. Gotjan stares at her with a fire in her eyes. It isn't gentle, but maybe in this moment, in her solitude, it's what she needs to hear.

Quỳnh says, "You don't yet know the depth of what you have gained. Come with us and we will show you."

Nile waits for the cavern to stop ringing from Quỳnh's fervor. Then she clears her throat. "We also have an ungodly amount of money to fund the Underground in your absence."

All the way up out of the gravity well, Gotjan has questions. They do their best to answer them.

Nile watches her face when the lander pivots to reattach to the ship, and Earth is visible once more through the window. There is an ache in Gotjan's dark eyes. It's the barest she's allowed herself to be in their presence.

"I never planned to leave," she whispers. "I know the work is better up here, but... that's our land."

"That is a connection you will always have," Quỳnh promises her.

A freedom fighter who can't die and who leaves to live in the sky will, in another century or so, look an awful lot like a folk hero.

"How long are you staying off Earth?"

Nile says, "Two, maybe three more generations."

"Generations," Gotjan echoes. "What are you, twenty?"

The Freeman babyface strikes again. "I'm four hundred and twelve," Nile says lightly. "Next Thursday."

"The fuck," Gotjan says, turning to stare at her. "When do you stop keeping track?"

"About five centuries ago," Quỳnh supplies.

Gotjan lifts her head to look at Quỳnh, but she doesn't ask the logical next question. Not yet, anyway.

The Andromache's docking clamps embrace the lander. Nile leads the way through her beloved corridors, moving slower than usual so Gotjan can get used to the magnetic boots.

Nile hears them while she's still outside the galley, cursing in Italian and French, with a frantic he didn't mean it for spice.

She stops at the door and glances at Quỳnh, on the other side of Gotjan. The oldest, and the newest. Quỳnh gives her a tiny, prized smile.

"Gentlemen," Nile says as the door slides open, and a trio of anything but gentlemen straighten up from a pantomime brawl as dinner bubbles in the cooker. Some things never change.

And some things do. Nile says, "This is Gotjan."
