So @pacific-coast-hockey and I attended the live auction for the Cuda's ugly sweaters last night and man, it was extremely entertaining and well worth the price of admission (free). He got photos, and I think he's going to add them here, but I kept track of which jerseys went for what, and a few random notes. So here's my half!
IN ORDER:
Radim Šimek - $1400 - I've very rarely seen Simmer look that pleased by anything, and it was a genuine treat to see him smiling over the very active bidding war for his jersey
Tanner Kaspick - $750
Cole Cassels - $900
Leon Gawanke - $925 - his jersey went to someone holding up a Go Gawanke sign, which was very cute
Scott Sabourin - $1550 - I think there was some recency bias at play with the bidding here, given his fight and jazz hands on Friday night. He was not smiling the way the other guys were & Kasper and I were joking that he wanted to go HOME
Nathan Todd - $950 - that man has a very shiny bald head
Shakir Mukhamadullin - $1200 - he looked very adorably pleased by the bidding war and this total
Ozzy Wiesblatt - $1075
Magnus Chrona - $1050 - His jersey went to someone wearing his University of Denver hoodie and he looked extremely happy about it
Ethan Cardwell - $1000 - Guys, I cannot tell you how adorable Cardsy and every single thing he does are. Holding up his jersey to be auctioned was no exception
Brandon Coe - $850
Nikolai Knyzhov - $1050 - I have no notes here but please know I love Knyzy and would die for him
Daniil Gushchin - $950 - I'm genuinely surprised this didn't go higher? Also, as I type this he's not listed on the roster on the Cuda's website, but that doesn't mean anything. I hope. 😬
Bradley Marek - $850
Bradley Kemp - $900 - he looked quietly pleased at this and I'm more than a little shocked that his jersey went for more than Coe's
Valtteri Pulli - $850
Eetu Mäkiniemi - $900 - how on Earth did his jersey not go for more? It's an enteral mystery
Bordy - $1900 - he did this very cute thing where he gestured to go on, go on when it looked like this bidding was stalling at around, like, $1200. It went to the female half of the eternally drunk Michigan fan duo, who was absolutely not going to be outbid by anyone, not even God himself
Kyle Rau - $750 - I felt bad for him following Bordy, but honestly, $750 isn't bad considering that he uhhhhh signed with the Cuda, like, two days ago or whatever
Artem Guryev Arty Party - $950
With the (I think) $650 that Frenzy's jersey went for, the Cuda raised an awesome $21,400 for Working Partnerships USA, along with whatever they got for chuck-a-puck and 3.147 stuffed animals (our group contributed, like, 12 of those, go team us!)
Trailer for Begin the Beguine dir. John Cassavetes
“Begin the Beguine (originally known as Husbands II) was written as a play, and Seymour Cassel made some attempts to produce a stage version at Lincoln Centre after John’s death. Peter Bogdanovich remembers the last time Peter Falk, Ben Gazzara, and Cassavetes got together for dinner: ‘The three of them were so funny, kidding each other constantly. It was a rollicking evening. Because John ignored this gut hanging over the table, everyone else did. He was trying to get them to do a picture, Begin the Beguine.” (John Cassavetes: Lifeworks by Tom Charity)
“[Begin the Beguine] takes its title from a 1934 song by Cole Porter that Cassavetes apparently loved. He wrote it with two actors in mind: Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara, his co-stars in ‘Husbands’ (1970)...” (The Economist)
“Begin the Beguine was the last play the legendary filmmaker John Cassavetes wrote - for Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara - before his death. This bleak and glimmering allegory named after the Cole Porter-evergreen about love and death, Eros and Thanatos, never got further than the preparatory stage. It was never performed.” (Needcompany)
By: Gerry Cantlon, Hartford Wolf Pack
HARTFORD, CT - The Hartford Wolf Pack announced their home game promotional schedule for the 2023-34 season. It features the return of last year's successful "Pucks and Paws" event, where fans can bring their beloved dogs to the game.
The date for the "Pucks and Paws" game is December 22nd against the Bridgeport Islanders. That date is one of the season's 72-game schedule featuring 36 home dates.
Another favorite returning is "Hops and Hockey Night" on December 30th, also against the Islanders.
HARTFORD RELATED PLAYER MOVES
Ex-Pack goalie Keith Kinkaid has dissolved his association with the Chicago Wolves. He signed a one-year, two-way deal with the New Jersey Devils and their AHL affiliates, the Utica Devils. The contract pays $775K in the NHL and $350K for games in the AHL. There are reports he could still be assigned to Chicago if he is reassigned to the AHL.
A trusted West Coast NHL team source said of Kinkaid, "He can play well. We talked with two teams he has played for. We got a thumbs down on him. He's not a good locker room guy. So, we opted not to sign or offer him a deal."
Rayen Petrovický, the son of former Hartford Whaler/Ranger Róbert Petrovický, signs with HC Liberec (Czechia-CEL). He was then loaned to VHK Vestin Czechia (Czech Republic) Division-II. The move makes him eligible to play for both teams next season.
CONNOR BLEACKLEY
Connor Bleackley, another ex-Pack, moves on from the Maine Mariners (ECHL), who are coached by ex-Pack Terrance Wallin (Hotchkiss Prep), to the Rapid City Rush (ECHL).
Incidentally, Bleackley was the last Wolf Pack player signed before the pandemic hit. The Pack were severely shorthanded for a game against the Providence Bruins. Bleackley was signed after the Pack saw three players suspended from a brawl in Springfield against the Thunderbirds a few days earlier. Those three were Vinni Letterieri, now with the Iowa Wild, Mason Geersten, playing for the Henderson Silver Knights, and the retired Matt Beleskey. Then there were injury issues in New York, and then captain Steve Fogarty was on an emergency recall in Colorado by the Rangers, which necessitated the signing of Bleackley.
After the loss to the Bruins, then Pack Danny O'Regan told Howlings in his post-game comments, "You can't construct a lineup in 36 hours and expect to win."
EX-BRIDGEPORT PLAYERS ON THE MOVE
Some ex-Sound Tigers get some new addresses.
Casey Bailey signs a PTO deal with Ottawa. Connor McCarthy, who played part-time over the last two years with the Islanders after training camp, was dropped by HC Banska Bystrica (Slovakia-SLEL). He signs with St. Georges-de-Beauce (LNAH).
Kieffer Bellows signs a deal with the Carolina Hurricanes, and Mark Louis, who played briefly in Bridgeport, departs Cardiff (Wales-EIHL) and signs with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits (ECHL).
CASSELS FAMILY STAYING ACTIVE
Cruz Cassels, the youngest son of former Whaler Andrew Cassels, is with the Ohio Jr. Blue Jackets U-14 AAA (T1EHL). Birk, his second son, is also with their program. He plays with the Ohio Jr. Blue Jackets U-18 AAA (T1EHL) and is an Ottawa 67's (OHL) 2022 Draftee. His oldest, Cole, played with both Södertälje SK (Sweden-Allsvenskan) and the Belleville Senators last year. He just signed a one-year deal with San Jose Barracuda (AHL) for next season. Their cousins are in the NHL. Justin Barron is with the Montreal Canadiens, while ex-Pack Morgan Barron is with the Winnipeg Jets. Morgan signed a two-year extension earlier this summer.
ROB MALLOY
Cheshire native and former Hartford Jr. Wolf Pack, Rob "Bert" Malloy, confirmed via e-mail from New South Wales that he is happy to decompress from his one-win season for his local AIHL expansion team, the Central Coast Rhinos. Malloy hopes to return next season for a better season in the league's 23rd year. He finished second in team scoring with ten goals and 31 points in 19 games. Malloy hopes to get one more crack at the Australian National team in April when they play at the IIHF Group A Division II tournament in Serbia.
He will hope to start with a three-game series against neighbor and Southern Hemispheric rival, New Zealand, and looks to lengthen his play from last year's tournament in Madrid, where he suffered a broken jaw in their game against Israel.
That led to a harrowing experience in a Spanish hospital where nobody spoke English.
16 native Australians are on the national team.
Malloy hopes in his post-season career, whenever it starts, to coach at the junior level with the Central Coast Stingrays team and help grow the game in Australia.
NHL DOWN UNDER
Malloy, like others, is anxiously waiting for the NHL exhibition games to be played this week in the Land Down Under at the Rod Laver Arena. They will be the first two NHL games ever to be played there. The two games will air the pair of Los Angeles Kings - Arizona Coyotes contests on the NHL Network. The games will be played on Friday, September 22nd, and September 23rd at 9 p.m., 17 hours ahead in the Pacific time zone, where they will be played at 2 p.m. local time.
Melbourne's ice hockey rink seats only 1,500. The Henke Rink at the O'Brien Icehouse in the Dockland's precinct of Melbourne is home to two AIHL teams, the Ice and Mustangs. A building only seating 1,500 is not suitable for NHL hockey.
The first Australian to score an NHL goal was Nathan Walker, now with the St. Louis Blues. "Stormy" Walker scored in his NHL debut on October 7th, 2017, with the Washington Capitals. He was born in Cardiff, Wales, but raised in Sydney, Australia.
Jorden Spence of the LA Kings will be on one of the teams as an Australian native born in Manly, New South Wales - NSW, Australia. His family moved to Osaka, Japan, and eventually landed in Cornwall, PEI (Prince Edward Island), Canada.
The first Australian ever drafted was Darren Gani (Perth, AUS). He grew up in Scarborough, Ontario, and back in 1984, he participated in the Edmonton Oilers' training camp.
MORE AUSSIE NEWS
One of the other three players with a little Aussie in them includes ex-Pack and current Ranger Bryce Harpur. He is a dual-born citizen; his mother, Margery, is Australian.
Ex-King, who played briefly with the Wolf Pack, Steve McKenna, played in the AIHL (Adelaide Avalanche) and coached the Australian national team for a few years.
No Australian has his name on the Stanley Cup. Just one Australian player is in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Tommy Dunderdale of Benalla, AUS, was inducted post-humously in 1974. He was credited with the very first penalty-shot goal in NHL history. He was a prominent player in the early 20th century as he skated with the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA). Dunderdale grew up, learned hockey in Winnipeg, and played against the Montreal Canadiens before they were in the NHL.
The 114-year-old Goodall Cup is awarded each season to the AIHL champion. Two weeks ago, it was awarded to the Melbourne Mustangs. The Goodall Cup is the fifth oldest trophy competed for in hockey.
Three Southern Hemisphere countries are full members of the IIHF in ice hockey. They include South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Just seven NHL players in league history have been born in that hemisphere.
The Arizona Coyotes, at its temporary home in Tempe, the Mullett Arena at ASU (Arizona State University), is 8,227 miles from Melbourne. The LA Kings will travel 7,932 miles to play the game.
The Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL) have Alec Nasredinne, the son of former Sound Tiger player and current Dallas assistant coach Alain Nasredinne. They also have Brady Schultz (Monroe, CT), the grandson of former Whaler Norm Barnes, and Liam Kilfoil, formerly of Selects Academy at South Kent Pre,p on their lineup as the junior season gets underway.
In other moves, Pat Harper (AOF/New Canaan) signed a training camp Professional Try-Out (PTO) contract with the Arizona Coyotes.
Connor Stokes, with the Selects Academy at South Kent Prep program, commits to the Sault Ste. Marie Eagles (NOJHL).

In Case You Missed It: A Jackets/Monsters Summer 2021 Summary
If anything slipped by me, please let me know!
Notable Events, major extensions, injury updates, etc
Brad Larsen was named the eighth head coach in team history. His assistants will be Pascal Vincent and former Monsters player and associate coach Steve McCarthy
Zach Werenski was extended for 6 years at a 9.5 mil AAV price tag, making this the largest contract in team history. He still has one year left on his current deal, so he's under team control for seven more seasons.
Boone Jenner was extended for 4 years at 3.75 mil AAV, exactly what he's making now. He also has one year left on his current deal.
Gus Nyquist says he's fully recovered from shoulder surgery!
Max Domi had a shoulder labrum tear repaired in June and could be out until December at worst. He's back on the ice and puckhandling though, so hopefully rehab is going well!
Nathan Gerbe had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip and will be out four to six months. This is his third hip or groin surgery in three years and second that we know of for a torn hip labrum.
All of our RFAs who were extended qualifying offers have new contracts!
Egor Chinakhov, Stanislav Svozil and Ole Holm all signed their ELCs
The Traverse City prospect tournament is currently ongoing and is being streamed online! Check the Jackets twitter for details.
John Davidson, president of hockey ops. NYR's loss is our gain!
Adam Boqvist (defense, acquired from Chicago in Jones trade)
Jake Bean (defense, acquired from Carolina with draft pick acquired in Jones trade)
Jakub Voracek (right wing, acquired from Philly. spent three years with Columbus from 08-11)
Sean Kuraly (Ufa signing. Forward, previously w/Boston. From Dublin, I say like you won't hear that enough this season lmao)
Gavin Bayreuther (turned right back around and re-signed here lmfao)
Jet Greaves (Monsters only contract. goalie, first pro season! currently playing in the Traverse City prospect tournament! Will likely be backing up Tarasov this year)
Cole Cassels (Monsters-only contract. UFA signing. Son of former Jacket Andrew Cassels and another Dublin boy)
Former Jackets/Monsters Updates
Torts joined ESPN as a studio analyst
Nick Foligno signed with Boston
David Savard signed with Montreal
Riley Nash signed with Winnipeg
Ryan Murray signed with Colorado
Alex Wennberg signed with Seattle
Anthony Duclair signed a three year extension with Florida
Veini Vehvilainen has gone back to Europe
Matt Calvert retired. Congrats to him on an incredible career!
Beloved garbage can Brandon Dubinsky hasn't officially retired but admits he's bought season tickets so it seems pretty safe to say he's done. While I wish h'd been able to go out on his own terms, congrats to Dubi on his own fantastic career!
Rick Nash was promoted to head of player development and hired Mark Letestu and Derek Dorsett as development coaches.
Monsters goalie Brad Thiessen retired, and was pretty much immediately named Cleveland's new goaltending development coach, replacing Jim Corsi. He's actually been functioning as a player-coach for several years, being the team's third goalie while helping to develop our young goalies (in particular Kivi), so this is more or less an extension of that role.
