IMO my pwhl free agent ranking of who’s still available

Please note I’m only doing players who were under contact last year and not undrafted free agents

Tier One: their phone should be buzzing

Daryl watts, Michela Cava, Hannah Miller, Kateřina Mrázová,

All these players were highly productive on their teams last season and are immediate impact players

Tier two: maybe not the first call, but should be highly sought after

Kaleigh Fratkin, Rebecca Leslie, Lauriane Rougeau, Gabrielle David, Claire Dalton, Abbey Levy, Sandra Abstreiter

These are proven players who had decent years, but may be called after tier one players and some draft picks get settled in to see where they fit in the roster .

Tier 3: building out your roster

Emma woods, Emma Greco, Lexie Adzija, Gigi Marvin, Amanda Pelkey, Sarah Bujold, Liz Schepers, Melissa Channell, Paetyn Levis, Kayla Vespa,

Fits into two groups; those who are Swiss army type middle six / pairing players who can play up and down the lineup. players who will still be third/fourth liners of depth defenders but were extremely effective in that spot, bumping them up a tier.

Tier Four: quality depth players

Madison Packer, Alexandra Labelle, Olivia Knowles, Carly Jackson, Sarah Lefort, Leah Lum, Jillian Dempsey, Madison Bizal, Catherine Dubois, Taylor Wenczkowski, Kelly babstock, Cami Kronish, Claire Butorac, Amanda Leveille, Lauren Bench, Shiann Darkangelo, Rachel McQuigge, Johanna Fällman, Lindsey post

Third/ fourth liners and third pair defender and goalies. Some of these players have a specific niche they fill, a lot are veterans, thus making me think they’ll get some early training camp invites. Unfortunately with a tight cap and limited spaces, it’s possible not all will be signed, but all will be considered

Tier four: reserves

Sam Cogan, Jess jones, Maude Poulin-Labelle, Jessica Kondas, Emma Keenan, Alexa Vasko, Kaitlin Willoughby, Liliane Perreault, Alexandra Poznikoff, Catherine Daoust, Madison Bizal, Brigitte Laganière, Nicole Kosta, Abby Cook, Brooke Bryant, Clair DeGeorge, Dominique Kremer, Nikki Nightengale, Akane Shiga, Rosalie Demers, Sammy Davis, Sam Isbell, Malia Schneider, Emma Buckles, Lauren MacInnis, Carley Olivier, Olivia Zafuto, Alexa Gruschow, Taylor Baker,

A lot of these players here either played little last year or were already reserves, or are playing a position/niche that is overcrowded. Many of these players are talented and could def earn a spot for a team that they gel right with, but likely wouldn’t be until after training camp. This tier is pretty close to tier three and probs a lot of overlap depending on a coaches evaluation of how players fit in their system

Tier ?: the unknown

Sydney Brodt, Mikyla Grant Mentis, Audrey-Anne Veillette, Ann-Sophie Bettez, Caitrin Lonergan, Fanni Garát-Gasparics, Kristin Della Rovere

These players did not play a lot last year due to various circumstances but were pretty impactful / took on high end roles when they did. Because of that, they separate themselves from other players who saw limited minutes and may be ore sought after. The exception is Veillette, who straight up DNP due to injury, but was thought pretty highly of when drafted. Bettez is also a weird one here because though she missed a lot this year, everyone knows what she’s capable of, but I don’t think she’d be willing to leave Montreal

"Un conseil donné aux vétérans par le col. LaFlèche," La Presse. June 19, 1933. Page 8. ---- "Vos demandes ne doivent pas être extravagantes," affirme-t-il. ---- JUSTICE POUR TOUS --- Plus de 200 membres de la Légion canadienne (B. E. S. L.) ont rendu hommage, samedi soir au lieutenant-colonel L-R. La Flèche, D.S.O..chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, sous-ministre de la Défense nationale.et ancien président général de la Legion. Le banquet avait été organisé par le chapitre provincial et était présidé par le lieutenant-colonel François DeMartigny, président provincial. La fête était donne sous lesauspices du brigadier général W-W.-P. Gibsone, C.MG., D.S.O., O.B.E., officier commandant du district militaire No 4. Le banquet eut lieu dans les quartiers du mess des officiers du Régiment de Maisonneuve.

Le sous-ministre a déclaré dans son discours que le gouvernement était prêt à faire sa part pour les vétérans et que ceux-ci auraient justice, mais d'un autre côté, a-t-il dit, il ne faut pas réclamer d'une façon extravagante surtout à une époque critique comme l'époque actuelle. Il n'y a aucun doute dans mon esprit et dans celui de la population, en général, que vous avez des droits acquis à notre reconnaissance et que nous devons respecter ces droits, mais le monde traverse une crise, terrible et les vétérans comme tous et chacun doivent avoir confiance dans l'avente et être patients."

Une petite Société des Nations Le colonel LaPlèche a rappelé que le banquet était une véritable petite "Société des Nations" puisqu'on y remarquait des représentants de la France, des Etats-Unis, de la Belgique, de la Pologne et de l'Italie. Toutes des nations alliées qui sont "prêtes encore à combattre pour la Justice et le droit aujourd'hui comme hier", a dit M. le sous-ministre.

Le colonel Wilfrid Bovey, D.S.O., chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, proposa la santé du sous-ministre en français. Il a déclaré qu'il était nécessaire pour la jeunesse de puiser son inspiration dans l'histoire des "héros du passé", mais, a-t-il dit, nous ne devons pas oublier que les Canadiens se sont aussi conduits comme des héros, lors de la dernière guerre.

L'on ne peut oublier les exploits légendaires du Royal 22e Régiment.

"Nous avons illustré d'une façon tangible à l'univers entier qu'il existe une véritable nation canadienne. Côte à côte, les Canadiens-français et leurs frères de langue anglaise travaillent comme une seule unité dans le meilleur intérêt du Dominion. Ils aiment le Canada et c'est pourquoi il nous faut prendre garde de développer un esprit de séparatisme dont les conséquences pourraient être funestes."

Une motion Le colonel Hercule Lefebvre, M.C., V.D., commandant de la 11e brigade d'infanterie, a proposé la santé du colonel La Flèche, en anglais. "Je proposerai cette santé sous forme de motion, félicitant le gouvernement du choix du colonel LaFlèche comme sous-ministre de la Défense nationale", a proposé le brigadier Lefebvre. Cette motion a été adoptée à l'unanimité.

Le sous-ministre a profité ensuite de l'occasion pour épingler sur la poitrine du camarade Napoléon Marion, insigne des anciens présidents. Le brigadier-général T.-L. Tremblay, C.M.G., D.S.O., chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, ancien commandant du Royal 22e Régiment, a présenté des médailles de Long Service à deux de ses anciens officiers: les majors L.-H. Desjardins, V.D. et Georges-U. Francoeur, V.D., tous deux du Régiment de Maisonneuve maintenant.

Le colonel F.-F. Clarke, D.S.O. ancien président provincial, a aussi remis une coupe au camarade Beatty de la section de Québec, qui s'est classée première dans le concours de recrutement organisé par les diverses succursales de la province.

Des discours ont également été prononcés par le brigadier-général Gilsone, le lieutenant-colonel P.-A. Piuze, président de la succursale Jean-Brillant, V.C., de la Légion canadienne; le capitaine Morgan, M.C.. V.D.: le lieutenant-colonel Charles-Auguste Brosseau, V. D. C. de G.O.C., Régiment de Maisonneuve et le colonel Gaudet, CMC, chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, organisateur du Royal 22e Régiment.

Group 3

(Story Post)

The first week with the twins felt like a disaster. Thankfully, Nathan wasn't alone. Dax went back to class on Tuesday but he made himself available all of his free time and spent his nights in the hospital ward with Nathan. Sydryn, not having the ability to be everywhere at once, switched Köbi off of Gardi duty and over to werewolf duty, with Aoife taking over watching Reid. The dragon figured the angel was the least likely to get injured should anyone get bitey. The hardest part of taking care of them was their constant seemingly sporadic shape changing. While Nathan was trapped in a moon cycle, they changed at random, making it very difficult for him to keep track of what the routine he was supposed to be establishing for them. At night, when he was the wolf, he couldn't care for them properly when they stayed human and Dax was the only one who could get up to soothe them as they cried at night, needing changes, wanting attention, being hungry. There were nurses on night shift around to offer advice, but wolf Nathan wouldn't let them anywhere near the twins, leaving all the work to Dax. When they did turn to animals though, Nathan curled up with them, trying to get them to sleep, nursing them into food comas while he rested. By Friday, no one had slept properly, but they had survived. By the evening, Nathan had the twins asleep, and Köbi was there helping change the dressing on his c-section cut. Dax texted him to let him know he’d be a little late, as he was going to go out to get them food. Nathan’s wolf cycle had just ended that day so he looked forward to being in more control that night. Once Köbi was done, there was a knock on the door and Nathan said he could let them in. While he was expecting Dax, he was surprised to see Camilo coming in. Thankfully, Nathan had his shirt back on by then and felt decent enough for guests.

“Hey, Nathan,” Camilo said, walking over. “How've you been today?” “Oh, you know… Tired,” Nathan admitted. “And you?” “Same, but I'm sure it doesn't measure up,” Camilo said, rubbing his neck. “So, we started our group session about an hour ago, but the guys wanted to come up and visit you. You know, congratulations and everything. I wanted to ask you first to make sure that's okay.” “Yeah, thanks. Um, yeah, okay…” Nathan looked around. “It's not a big room, but it could work.” “Awesome. I see the twins are asleep so we'll try to be real quiet,” Camilo said before heading back out. A moment later, the group members were all coming in, sliding around the sides of the bed and making room for each other. Each one greeted and congratulated him as they got in and Dari was carrying a gift basket for him. Even new boy Jeffrey was there with his kid. “So, everyone, as you heard, Nathan delivered the twins on Monday,” Camilo said. “They're absolutely precious, aren't they Nathan?” “They are,” Nathan said, putting his hand into the bassinet beside the bed to rub Grace's cheek as she slept. “I still can't believe they're real…” “You can believe it. You're a father now,” Dari said. “Life's going to be completely different.” “Yeah…” “Can I hold them?” Dari asked. Fay nudged his arm. “Dari, they're asleep.” “Right, sorry…” “You can hold Ben,” Jeffrey said passing over the baby. “Thank you, Jeffrey,” Dari said taking the child. “Hi, Benny baby boy…” “Thank you guys for coming to visit me,” Nathan said. “I probably wouldn’t have even remembered it was Friday if you weren’t here…” “That's alright, I'm sure you've been working really hard getting into the care of your little ones,” Fay said. “Twins can't be easy.” “Well, you'll see soon too, and I can't imagine it'll be easy with other kids to take care of too,” Nathan said. “I'm pretty excited,” Dari said, rubbing his stomach. “Wish I could meet them sooner…” “Maybe they can be friends with Grace and Gabriel,” Fay suggested. “Twin friends.” “Yeah, maybe,” Nathan agreed, though he wasn’t sure how safe it would be for his were-beast children to play with other kids. “Yori, um, your kids can change form when they want, right?” “Yes, of course,” Yori said. He rubbed his stomach. “This one won’t though…” “How did you manage it?”  Nathan said. Yori shrugged. “I did it with them most of the time.” “Right, you have that…” Nathan said. “Still, triplets is a lot.” “Three kids, three dads,” Yori said. “Oh, right…” Nathan rubbed his arm. “The extra help I'm sure is great.” “You have extra help too,” Camilo said. “You have this group.” “Yeah, I know, I know…” “You have a boyfriend now too, right?” Yori said. “Two kids, two dads.” “Oh, you know about that too, huh?” “Of course,” Yori said. “I set you up.” Nathan blinked. “What?” “You know, when we met at the teacher meeting thing before the beginning of school, I invited you and Dax to my home,” Yori recalled. “You seem good for each other.” Nathan blushed. “Um, well… Thanks, I guess?” “Quite the match maker, aren't you?” Fay commended Yori. “Now find Jeffrey a new boyfriend,” Dari requested. “Hey, you wish you had what Bler and I have,” Jeffrey defended. “…” Dari looked at Fay and smirked. “I think I'm good.” Jeffrey huffed in annoyance, but Camilo rubbed his shoulder. “We're not going to get into that right now.” “Oh, where's Marcita?” Nathan asked, realising they were short a member. “She has a meeting with a client tonight,” Camilo said. “She'll be back next week.” “I think she mentioned having twins before and I wanted to know what the recovery was like for her,” Nathan said. “I can get her to visit as soon as she has the chance,” Camilo said. “She'll tell you everything she knows.” “I appreciate it,” Nathan said. He hadn't seen Sydryn yet that day, but the doctor took that time to come to check on him. Syd wrinkled their nose at the crowded recovery room and just walked around them to Nathan's bedside. “Quite a few visitors you have…” “It's our pregnancy group,” Nathan said. “Camilo started it himself. We meet Fridays.” “Oh, I heard about that…” Sydryn sighed. “I commend you for your leadership skills, Camilo.” “It's not that big a deal, but thank you, Syd,” Camilo said. “The group mostly grew word of mouth. I just had to pick the spot and time.” “Community is key for your species'…” Sydryn said. “Although I'm surprised you joined, Yori. While I assume this means you've conceived again, I can't imagine you gain much considering the ease of your reproductive abilities.” “I've learned a lot actually,” Yori said. “And this pregnancy is different for me.” “Yori's actually been a very active member,” Camilo said. “You'd be surprised that even a spirit like him can have pregnancy concerns, but he does. Maybe…you'd like to join us sometime?” “Me?” Sydryn narrowed their eyes. “Why would I join a pregnancy group?” “Well, uh… It could help to have a doctor around,” Camilo suggested. “I think not. If any of you have medical concerns, you can make appointments to see me directly,” Sydryn stated. “With my replacement out of commission and more and more of you pumping out spawn, my work is very much more pressing than any group…” “Okay, okay…” Camilo sighed. “But just know we’re here.” “Obviously.” Dax got back with dinner for himself and Nathan and was a little surprised to find so many people in the room. “Hey! Um, is this the, uh…” He looked between them, noticing Camilo and Dari's shape. “Is this the group you go to?” “Yeah, this is my pregnancy group,” Nathan said. “And I don’t know if you've met Camilo, my case worker?” Camilo waved and offered his hand. “Hi! Dax, right?” “Yes, that's me,” Dax said, shaking his hand. “And obviously I know Yori…” Yori grinned. “We are Dari and Fay Demers,” Fay said shaking Dax's hand as well. “I also work as a case worker here, and I believe we met when I toured the school.” “That's right. Nice meeting you again,” Dax said. He turned to Jeffrey. “And you are…?” “You can call me Jeffrey,” the youngest said, offering a fist bump. “Dari has my son Ben over there.” “Oh, that's your kid?” Dax said, looking between Ben and Jeffrey. “…Wait, Jeffrey Matthews?” Jeffrey blinked. “…Mr Olivier?” “Yes, that's right!” Dax said. “Wow, you haven’t changed a bit.” “Ugh, yeah…” Jeffrey rubbed the back of neck. “Puberty barely did shit for me…” “You taught him?” Nathan asked. “Yes, I was Jeffrey's 10th grade French teacher at my old school,” Dax said. “How long's that been?” “Um, math isn't my forte, but I'm 21 now, so…” Jeffrey took a moment. “What's that, four years?” “Five. But you're a father already?” Dax commented. The whole group sighed except Jeffrey who seemed very proud. “Yeah, Ben's the best thing that happened to me! I love him so much,” Jeffrey said. “Trust me, I wasn't doing much before he came into my life.” “…I believe you,” Dax said. “Isn't that funny though?” Jeffrey went on. “If you don't have any other kids, then I became a Dad before you and you're, what, twice my age?” Dax frowned. “I'm not that old. But yes, it is surprising, I guess… But no one's life happens at the same pace.” “True enough,” Jeffrey chuckled. “Nathan, I can't believe you're dating my old teacher. If teachers were our parents, you'd be my step dad.” “…Sometimes I feel like your dad…” Nathan mumbled, not loud enough for Jeffrey to hear. Dax smiled and rubbed Nathan's shoulder. “Looks like you have a very friendly and diverse support group.” “Yeah, they're all good people,” Nathan said. “But, as much as I love you guys, I really want to take advantage of my time with twins asleep at the same time, so I can catch some winks too.” “Right, of course, Nathan. We'll head out,” Camilo said. “Dari left you a gift basket we collected up on that chair over there. Open it when you get the chance. There's some useful stuff in there.” “I will. Thank you, guys, so much.” They all shuffled out and Dax smiled and gave Nathan a kiss on the forehead. “Sorry I didn't get back sooner but I got us some Freshii, and yes yours has a lot of meat in it. It's up to you if you want to sleep first or eat.” “Thank you, Dax,” Nathan said. “I'll eat. I just said that to get them to leave…” Dax started unpacking their dinner. “Oh? Not a good time?” “No, they're great. I just get upset when I'm reminded of how young that kid is…” “Right? That would be my fault though, sorry,” Dax said. “No, no. He was your student. Of course you'd remember him.” “Not gonna lie, while I'm uneasy about him being a father so young, I'm not too surprised,” Dax said. “Very good kid. Not the brightest.” “It's not my place to get into it, but his whole pregnancy story makes me mad…” Nathan said. “I think it's probably just because it's a bit like mine, but possibly worse…” “Oh no,” Dax sighed. “But he seems so happy.” “‘Seems’ is the right word. He might not be clever enough to realise he has it bad…” Nathan said. “But Fay's working with him now, so if he's any good, the kid should be better off.” “I hear Fay's the best,” Dax said. “When he's not sleeping with or marrying his patients.” “No. Dari's a patient?” “As far as I've heard.” “You're so nosy. I shouldn't know these things…” Nathan sighed. “But I think that would explain a lot about Dari…” “Really?” “I'm not gonna get into it. It's not my business.” “Alright, alright…” Dax handed Nathan his bowl and a fork. “Have the twins been good today?” “Relatively…” Nathan said. “I think I'm starting to get what kinda things make them want to switch forms… Like if I even try to put more than a diaper on them, or if there's meat around…” “Well that's good. Sounds like it's not random after all and they have some control,” Dax deduced. “I imagine they'll be able to learn when they want to switch when they're older.” “Yeah, like Yori's kids…” Nathan sighed. “I wish I could control it like that…” “Well, if your kids can do it, maybe you can,” Dax said. “They're born into it, but it's a learning curve for you.” “Maybe…” Nathan started eating his food. “This tastes great. Thank you.” “No problem. Anything for you.” Sydryn cleared their throat. “I came to make sure you're recovering well.” “Right. Syd, forgot you were there,” Nathan said. “I think I am.” “Has your dressing been changed today?” they asked. “Yeah, Köbi did is a little while ago.” “Good, so I can assume we haven't popped any stitches.” “Nope. They've stayed put.” “And your cycle ended so you should sleep better…” Syd went over by the twins. “Let me know when they're awake, I'll do a quick exam. I see they're both in human form now though which is ideal.” “Yes. They're going hours now in the same forms,” Nathan said. “They seem to like to be the same thing at the same time.” There was a knock on the door so Dax went to grab it. Pierce came in, mock saluting. “Hey guys, glad I caught you both,” he said. “I'm definitely not going anywhere,” Nathan muttered. “Right, yeah. Actually, I wanted Dax most, though I also wanted to see how you're doing your first week a parent,” Pierce said, smiling. “We're alright. Getting into it.” “Good, good. Congratulations again.” “You wanted me?” Dax asked. “Yes. So, we're well aware you've been here helping Nathan with the twins, so Ms Liu and I pulled some strings and we've got substitutes lined up for both of you now,” Pierce said. “Nathan, you don't have to worry about me covering your class and Dax, we're allowing you a short parental leave.” “Parental leave?” Dax's eyes widened. “But I'm not… I don't qualify.” “Technically neither does Nathan because of how short a time he’s been with the school, but we sorted it out for him and we've sorted it out for you,” Pierce said. “Of course, it's optional, but you don't have to come in Monday.” “Wow. Um…” Dax couldn't help grinning. “How long is it?” “Full 35 weeks for Nathan, 18 for you,” Pierce said. “That's all we could get from the board.” “That's four months,” Dax said. “That's a lot, are you sure?” “Well, do you want it?” Pierce asked. “Of course! Well, only if Nathan wants me to,” Dax hesitated. “I wouldn't want to use him just to get out of work.” “I need you. You're taking every day,” Nathan said. “Pierce, this is actually so great. I don't know what to say.” “Don't mention it. The kids are beautiful but we all understand they can be handfuls,” Pierce said. “Take the time you need to care and bond with your little ones.” “We will, thank you.” “No problem. You can thank Ms Liu mostly,” Pierce admitted. “Anyway, I'll leave you be. I'll email you specifics about the leaves, but it's paid so you don't need to worry about that.” “Right. Thanks again,” Dax said, shaking Pierce's hand. Pierce shook it back and patted Dax's arm. “Don't mention it. See ya.” Dax smiled and saw him out, before turning back to Nathan and beaming. “Isn't that amazing?” “It is,” Nathan agreed. “Again, we need to treat them to dinner when we're properly settled.” “Speaking of, you should be discharged Monday,” Sydryn stated. “Every test is coming back as expected so you're all in good health and now that the wolf cycle is over, we can trust your stitches won't be at risk.” “Oh, okay.” Nathan smiled. “I can finally go home?” “Precisely.” “Phenomenal. Monday night, I'm going to cook for us,” Dax promised. “The twins will get to sleep in their proper beds.” “I'll get to sleep in my proper bed,” Nathan stated. “Now I imagine in three weeks time, when you're back on wolf cycle, you'll be bringing the twins with you,” Sydryn assumed. “We'll have a bigger place ready for you like I promised.” “Thank you, Syd,” Nathan said. “It all seems too good to be true.” At that, Grace rolled over and started crying which got her brother to start crying too. Nathan sighed and chuckled a bit, picking them both up. “…Ah, there's the rub.” “Should I take one to the hall so they're not playing off each other?” Dax asked. “No, I think they're just hungry. It's been a bit…” Nathan pulled open his robe and got them positioned. He grabbed a blanket from beside him and draped it over them. “I want them to go right back to sleep after this… I really need a nap.” “Understandable…” Dax sat down on the edge of the bed with him. “I can do the next feeding if you'd like.” “Thanks… Yeah, I really need a nap,” Nathan said. “That's why I'm here, No worries.” Sydryn went to the door. “I'll come back a little later for the measurements. Rest well.” “Okay. Thanks, doc.” “Don't mention it.”

INNERVISION from Martin Messier // 14 lieux on Vimeo.

DESCRIPTION Innervision is an outstanding choreographic play for 60 interprets and 30 tables. Presented in the public space, this work depicts an intergenerational group composed of dancers of all ages. They interpret, in unison, a partition of micro gestures to give them a whole new resonance. With Innervision, an inclusive and convening project, the multidisciplinary artist Martin Messier proposes to give back their whole value to daily human gestures and to reveal their high level of poesy. cop

Thanks to a technology developed years ago by 14 lieux, the movements of this partition will be dictated to the interpreters by way of instructions directly transmitted to their ears thanks to a wireless communication system. This soundly sequence will act as a canvas for the play that interpreters will have to follow without learning the choreographic sentence. The wireless communication device used in Innervision will allow an optimal synchronization between the movements and the sounds and will create a game of association between the two. By superimposing sounds and movements, this soundly montage created by Martin Messier will amplify and magnify these gestures and make them resonate.  Minimalistic and stripped, this work will make a certain image of the burden of solitude resonate. Innervision opens up a dialogue between interiority and exteriority: the individual, what he carries inside him and the outside world with whom he interacts.
