Varning för Troll

Mycket ska man höra innan öronen trillar av, är ju en gammal klassisk sentens som passar väldigt bra i detta sammanhang. Som de flesta vet har personer som Vladimir Putin valt att använda lögnen som politiskt verktyg. är påverkanskampanjer från främmande makt något som har diskuterats länge. Att Ryssland har satt upp trollfabriker i St: Petersburg har varit känt sedan länge. I en svensk kontext…

HARTFORD WOLF PACK REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK

By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - For the Hartford Wolf Pack and their parent organization, the New York Rangers, the lazy, hazy summer days are winding down. The teams are two weeks away from training camp opening in Tarrytown, NY and then the Wolf Pack training camp at the XL Center starts a couple of weeks later.  There are still moves being made in the hockey world. The Rangers have hired Angela Ruggiero (Choate Rosemary Hall-Wallingford) to join Peter Laviolette’s coaching staff as a Hockey Operations Adviser. No clear reporting on what her responsibilities will be. Rangers President Chris Drury (Trumbull) and she were both selected and entered the US Hockey Hall of Fame together with the Class of 2015. Ruggerio played for several US Women's Olympic teams and won a gold, two silvers, and a bronze medal. She earned four gold medals and six silvers in international World Championship action. In 1999, the Harvard grad with an MBA degree won a national title with the Crimson, and the defenseman won the Patty Kazmier Award as the top college female hockey athlete in 2004. She played for two women’s professional leagues in her active playing days. She was part of the CWHL (Canadian Women’s Hockey League) and the WWHL (Western Women’s Hockey League) during her 11-year career. Ruggerio retired in 2011. She has been involved in the business side of hockey since then. Hiring Ruggerio is part of the overall revamping of the Rangers coaching staff. HARTFORD CONNECTED ATHLETES MAKING MOVES Casey Torres, an ex-Pack assistant coach for one year and who was out of hockey last year, is back in. was named the assistant coach for the Windsor Spitfires (OHL). After a year off from hockey, ex-Pack Peter Holland signs with the Colorado Avalanche organization and will likely be skating with the Colorado Eagles next season. Holland last played in Sweden two years ago. Holland was traded from the Wolf Pack in 2018-19, a week after then-captain Cole Schneider. The belief is that Schneider was dealt because of the manner in which he tried to motivate then rookie, and now an unsigned ex-Pack, Libor Hájek. Apparently, Schneider's actions angered former Wolf Pack head coach Keith McCambridge, who is now an assistant coach with the Bakersfield Condors. Ex-Pack Jake Elmer dissolves his contract with Odense in Denmark and signs with the Dundee Stars (Scotland-EIHL) for next season. Jeff Heil was a backup goaltender for 11 games during the Wolf Pack's first season. His son Caleb, also a goalie, is involved in the game. He played for the Sioux City (SD) U-16 AAA (T1EHL) team and nine games for the Sioux Falls Stampede (USHL) last season and has verbally committed to play in two years at the University of North Dakota (NCHC). Jabez Seymour, a Newfoundland native from the Selects Academy program at South Kent Prep-SKP U-15 team last year, signed with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar, who drafted him in the first-round 18th overall in the June QMJHL Draft. After six years as a head coach for Kootenay/Winnipeg Ice (WHL), ex-Whaler/Ranger James Patrick signed to be the new Director of Player Development for the Victoria Royals (WHL). The team in Winnipeg was sold to a group of the Wenatchee (WA) Wild, who moved up from the Junior A level BCHL to the major junior WHL. One of the players to start the year there will be Easton Armstrong, who is the youngest son of ex-Pack legend Derek Armstrong. He'll play his overage year to start with Wild. After four years as the Northern Ontario Scout for Kingston Frontenacs (OHL), ex-Sound Tiger Brent Gauvreau returns to his hometown as an assistant coach with the Sudbury Wolves (OHL). AHL signings to Europe now stand at 76. The latest, Alex Galchenyuk, leaves the Colorado Eagles (AHL) for SKA St. Petersburg (Russia-KHL). Sweden leads in the signees department with 30. Maxim Barbashev, who was in the Wolf Pack house late last season when his junior season ended but never played a game, was involved in a pre-season QMJHL trade as he was moved from the Moncton Wildcats and will play his third season with the Shawinigan Cataractes. Ex-Pack Josh Nicholls leaves Kunlun Red Star (China-KHL) for a second time and signs with the Sheffield Steelers (England-EIHL). SIGNINGS/TRANSFERS The college to pro signings North America/Europe, and the transfer in-school and graduate continues. North America first, Hockey East leads all conferences with 38, and the NCHC conference has 37. The Big Ten and the CCHA each have 34, the ECACHL 25, and the AHA 21. Division III is at 32, and attending Canadian colleges four and undergrads departing early is 39. Independent Division I schools now have 14, signed in Europe is 62, and returning to American junior hockey is two. Surprisingly, none have yet to come from Canadian major juniors. The total number stands at 301. The transfers collegiately have exploded in-school is 102 and graduate 68. UCONN UCONN finally announced its official incoming class for the college hockey season. Ethan Haider is a post-grad goaltender from Clarkson. He is expected to split time with the returning Arsenii Sergeev (Calgary). Another grad transfer will be Ryan Mashie of RPI (ECACHL). Incoming freshmen will feature Oliver Flynn (Wolcott/CT Chiefs (AYHL)/Loomis Chafee Prep-Windsor). Forward Joey Muldowney, D Owen Simpson, and Bauer Swift (West Hartford/Choate Rosemary Hall-Wallingford). Swift has an older brother (Cooper) and younger brother (Easton) involved in hockey and are both named after a hockey equipment brand. Rayen Petrovický, the son of former Hartford Whaler and Ranger Róbert Petrovický, elects to sign with VHK Vestin (Czechia (Czech Republic-Division-II) for 2023-24. It took just two days for ex-Yale Bulldog Ken Agostino’s one-year deal with Skellefteå AIK (Sweden-SHL) to be terminated. The team said it received backlash for signing someone who played in Russia for the last two years with the ongoing war in Ukraine. He played on the 2022 US Olympic squad at the Beijing Games. Howlings previously reported on the strange anomaly of current and ex-North American players signing deals with KHL clubs despite the war and public declaration that the NHL wanted nothing to do with Russia, where no transfer agreement exists. A long line of players behind Agostino have all done the same thing. Per Elite Prospects.com, as of last week, 53 North Americans are in the KHL, 39 Canadians, 15 Americans, and 22 players from EU nations are listed in the KHL. Russian and European training camps are about to end as their regular season starts next month. Will other EU clubs announce their rescinding any dealings with any of these players or others? Wolcott native Nick DiNicola, who played youth hockey for the CT Jr. Wolves (AYHL), CT Clippers (AYHL), Hartford Jr. Wolf Pack (ATJHL), CT (Stamford) Yankees (USPHL-Premier) then under the direction of ex-Wolf Pack/Sound Tiger Jeff Hamilton (Yale University & AOF) and had five games with the Danbury Hat Tricks (FPHL) leaves Como (Italy Division-2) for Chiavenna (Italy Division-3) for next season. By the way, Hamilton has owned the CT Jr. Rangers (NCDC) for the last two years and is out as owner. He was involved with the Mid-Fairfield Rangers U-14 team as head coach last year. Five ex-Whalers were at the golf club at Avon Country Club last weekend for a charity event. They included Ron Francis, Ulf Samuelsson, Mike  Liut, Dave Tippett, and Joel Quenneville. The tournament was named, honoring Quinneville's late nephew Connor Scott Zieky. None of them made it to the Yard Goats Whaler Day last month. The Yard Goats official assistant GM, Dean Zappolorti, said Francis informed him he would come next year and help him recruit other players to attend. If that happens and Pat Boutette gets Mike Rogers and Blaine Stoughton to return, it will be a home run (pun intended) next year. Ex-Pack Domenic Moore is playing in the Over-40 Senior Canadian Tennis Championships. During the hockey season, he works as an Analyst for ESPN. An NHL source regarding the Phoenix situation. “It’s a mess. We hear that they're looking to secure land now, but they have to get something soon. It’s become an embarrassment…a sore point for the league, a  black eye. The player’s association is unhappy, they’re losing money and owners are getting tired of spending money to keep them going. Sooner or later, something has to give, soon, it just can’t keep going on like this. When a kid like (Logan) Cooley, a next generation likely NHL star, signs reluctantly, leaving a larger arena he had in college (Minnesota) for a smaller one in Arizona, that they’re not even selling out, things have to get done in short order. They’re gonna have to move them most likely if they don’t nail things down soon.” HARTFORD WOLF PACK HOME Read the full article

Alexei Yashin Net Worth, Biography, Career, Income, Home & Age

What is Alexei Yashin's Net Worth? Alexei Yashin is a former Russian professional hockey player with a $42 million net worth. Alexei Yashin played for the teams Avtomobilist Sverdlovsk and Dynamo Moscow in the USSR and the RSL, respectively. In the 1992 NHL Draft, Yashin was taken by the Ottawa Senators with the second pick. He was traded to the New York Islanders in 2001, and they quickly gave him a $87.5 million contract for 10 years. Alexei played for the Islanders and Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the RSL and KHL. In the KHL, he played for SKA St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow. After the 2011–12 season, he quit. Yashin has competed for Russia in international competitions and won a silver medal in 1998 and a bronze medal in 2002. In 2012, Vladislav Tretiak, the president of the Russian Hockey Federation, chose him to be the general manager of the Russian National Women's Team. Early Life Yashin was born in Sverdlovsk, Russia, which was part of the Soviet Union at the time, on November 5, 1973. We don't know much about his early life, except that he started playing ice hockey at a young age, which is common in Russia. When he was 19, the National Hockey League took notice of how good he was at hockey. Career Yashin's name made its first big splash on the international hockey scene in 1992, when the Ottawa Senators picked him with their first draft pick after the team grew. Since he was already playing with Dynamo Moscow, he chose to stay in Russia for the 1992-1993 season. He then moved to Ottawa for the 1993-1994 NHL season. He came with Alexandre Daigle, another Russian player. Both were expected to be stars, but Yashin turned out to be the team's best player. He scored 79 points in his first year with the Senators and was nominated for the Calder Memorial Trophy. Yashin became an even bigger star player in the NHL in the years that followed. In 1997, he helped the Senators get into the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time. The next year, in 1998, he scored a key overtime goal in the playoffs that helped the team beat the New Jersey Devils in their first playoff series win ever. Yashin was named team captain for the 1998-1999 season. Even though the Senators were swept in the first round of the playoffs, he had a very good season. In the end, he scored 94 points, which was the most he had ever scored in his career. By the end of the season, he was a runner-up for the Hart Memorial Trophy, which is given to the NHL's most valuable player, and was named to the NHL's Second Team All-Stars. Yashin's time in Ottawa was very successful on the ice, but he had many contract disputes while he was there. When Yashin first signed his contract, Daigle, the other Russian player, was expected to be the star player and had the most valuable contract on the team. Yashin later asked for more money and broke his contract before the 1995 season because of how well he did. Because of this, some fans began to dislike Yashin. After Yashin said he would give $1 million to the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, he made things even worse with his fans there. But when the Centre found out that one of the conditions of the donation was that they pay Yashin's parents over $400,000 in "consulting fees," they hesitated and Yashin canceled the donation, which hurt his relationship with the public even more. Getty Images Yashin's worst moment with the Senators was in 1998, when he again broke his contract and asked for a pay raise that would put him on the same salary level as NHL stars like Joe Sakic. Yashin asked to be traded, but the Senators said no. Instead, the Senators took away his role as captain and, when he continued to refuse to play, suspended him for the 1999-2000 season. Yashin's public image took a big hit when he tried to play for a Swiss team but was stopped by the International Ice Hockey Federation until the dispute was settled. He played his last season with the Senators in 2000–2001, and when he came into the arena, people would often boo and jeer at him. Yashin was traded to the New York Islanders on the day of the 2001 draft. Mike Milbury, the general manager of the Islanders, gave Yashin a ten-year, $8.7 million deal. At the time, this was a very high amount. Yashin's point production went down after he signed the contract, but he did help the team make the playoffs for the first time in years. In 2005, the team lost a number of important players, and Yashin was named captain. But the Islanders did not make the playoffs that year for the first time since Yashin joined the team. Over the next couple of years with the Islanders, Yashin had trouble getting back to where he used to be, and he also hurt his knee. In June 2007, the Islanders bought him out of the rest of his contract. Yashin signed a one-year deal with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the Russian Superleague in July 2007. This was after he turned down contracts from other NHL teams. Then, in 2009, he signed with the Kontinental Hockey League's SKA Saint Petersburg. He stayed there until 2011, when he signed a one-year deal with CSKA Moscow. After that, he retired. The Russian Hockey Federation put Yashin in charge of the Russian women's national ice hockey team in December 2012. Yashin has also played for Russia in the World Cup of Hockey in 1996 and 2004 and the Winter Olympics in 1998, 2002, and 2006. In 2022, he was put into the IIHF Hall of Fame. Personal Life Even though they have the same name, Yashin is not related to Lev Yashin, the famous Soviet and Russian soccer goalkeeper. Yahin dated model Carol Alt for a long time, starting in the late 1990s. Real Estate Alexei paid just under $4 million for a beautiful piece of land in the town of Old Westbury, New York, in 2001. The 8,000-square-foot mansion on the 3.3-acre property is tastefully decorated with marble all over. In January 2022, he put the house on the market for $9 million. He finally took the listing off the market after lowering the price to $7.5 million.

Jonathan Lacey Whipple

Jonathan Lacey Whipple, 37, son of Karen and the late John Whipple, passed peacefully at his home in St. Petersburg, Florida on March 16, 2023. He was born on April 1, 1985 in Leesburg, VA. Formerly a resident of Swoyersville and a 2003 graduate of Wyoming Valley West High School, Jon had an inquisitive mind and developed many passions in life. From a young age he nurtured a love of sciences, developing a keen interest in astronomy and atmospheric weather phenomenon, and a profound respect for history. Following the path of his interest in the past, Jon became an enthusiastic member of the Civil Air Patrol and developed an avid interest in World War II history and memorabilia. One of his favorite pastimes was listening to stories of the war from his grandfathers and a neighbor who served in the Army in Korea.

However, his first true love was music. Jon was known to most for his passionate exploration of all things relating to music. He loved all forms and styles from Jazz to Ska, Classical to Motown, Oldies to Punk, and introduced everyone who knew him to a style they would have never experienced without him. He was one of those rare individuals who could pick up any instrument and, in a short time, be able to play them; and play them he did – saxophone, baritone saxophone, trombone, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, and organ. As he became proficient in instruments, he also branched out into composing and audio engineering, a pastime that remained a constant in his life.

After graduation, Jon became interested in the culinary arts. As with his other interests, he gave it his all. He worked in several local restaurants as a sous chef, honing his skills, but when the opportunity arose, he moved to Florida to attend the International Academy of Design and Technology which he graduated from in 2011 with a degree in Music Production. He refurbished a 1985 Volkswagen “hippie van,” and set off to establish his new life in the south with his constant companion of 17-years, Nola, a Carolina dog. He spent his recent years traveling and hiking with Nola and friends sharing his dedication and passion with a new community.

Although his time with us was not long enough, Jon’s greatest legacy lies in the way he made people feel. He was a man who loved to learn, and found joy in sharing that knowledge with others, and people often found themselves better off for having known him. His friendships were legendary, with many remaining rock-solid for over 25 years. His big heart made him the most fun person to be with in any room and he will be missed by all those friends and family who were lucky enough to have known him.

Jon loved many people in his life and will be sorely missed by all: his mother Karen, sisters Samantha Whipple and Genel Whipple Depuysselier, her husband Pete and children Dillion, Denise, Ryan, Mary, and Zack; partner Erin Peterson; daughter Chrystine Locascio, and son Julian Whipple. He is wished a peaceful rest by his aunts, uncles, and cousins: Tom and Pauline Whipple; Sue and Ken Hopkins, Josh and Kerie Hopkins and their children Dean and Eliza; Sarah Hopkins; Alan Shiplett and his son Alan Shiplett Jr; Bruce Shiplett; Tim and Tracey Shiplett and their children Emily, Lauren, and Matthew; Jennifer and Eric Murphy and their children Mia and Collin, Jake Honoosic. Jon now joins his father John Whipple, paternal grandparents Lester and Genevieve Whipple, maternal grandparents Herman and Joyce Shiplett, Uncle Steve Shiplett, and his beloved Nola. Rest in Peace, gentle soul – your journey is complete.

Family and friends are invited on Saturday, April 15th from 12:30 to 2 PM at Church of Christ Uniting, 190 S. Sprague Ave., Kingston, PA 18704. Memorial service will start at 2 PM, with Rev. Jane Pykus, officiating. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Hugh B. Hughes & Son, Inc. Funeral Home, Forty Fort.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to SavetheMusic.org, SavingCarolinaDogs.com, RailstoTrails.org, or a charity of your choice.

IIHF bans Russia and Belarus tournaments 'until further notice'; Russia dropped as 2023 world junior hosts

The International Ice Hockey Federation banned Russia and Belarus from tournaments "until further notice" on Monday in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia will also no longer host the 2023 World Junior Championship, set to begin in December. A new host will be determined in the coming months.

The suspension applies to Russian and Belarusian national teams and clubs in every age category at IIHF competitions, the federation said. The IIHF noted six competitions between March and September in which the moratorium will apply:

2022 Men's World Championship (May): ROC and Belarus would not participate

2022 Women's World Championship (August-September): ROC would not participate

2022 World Junior Championship (dates TBA): Russia's U20 team would not participate

2022 Men's U18 World Championship (April-May): Russia and Belarus' U18 teams would not participate

2022 Women's U18 World Championship (dates TBA): Russia's U18 team would not participate

2022 Continental Cup (March): Belarus club team HK Gomel would not participate

The IIHF did not announce a cutoff date for the countries to be reinstated. Russia is slated to host the 2023 Men's World Championship, which begins May 5, 2023, in St. Petersburg. The IIHF did not announce a change to that tournament on Monday. SKA St. Petersburg is building a 21,500-capacity arena with a planned opening in time for the tournament.

“The IIHF is not a political entity and cannot influence the decisions being taken over the war in Ukraine,” IIHF president Luc Tardif said in a statement. “We nevertheless have a duty of care to all of our members and participants and must therefore do all we can to ensure that we are able to operate our events in a safe environment for all teams taking part in the IIHF World Championship program.”

“We were incredibly shocked to see the images that have come out of Ukraine. I have been in close contact with members of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine and we hope for all Ukrainians that this conflict can be resolved in a peaceful way and without the need for further violence.”

The invasion has led to reactions from members of the hockey community, including Wayne Gretzky, who called for Russia to be removed from this summer's rescheduled World Junior Championship tournament in Alberta while on-air with TNT.

"I think international hockey should say we’re not going to let them play in the world junior hockey tournament," Gretzky said. "I think we got to, as Canadians, take that stance since the games are going to be played in Edmonton."

USA Hockey released a statement in support of the IIHF's decision. "The actions of Vladimir Putin and the support from Belarusian government officials, are beyond reprehensible," the federation said.

Hockey Canada released a statement supporting the IIHF's decision. It also is prohibiting Russia's participation in events held in Canada that do not fall under the IIHF's jurisdiction, including the Hlinka Gretzky Cup scheduled for Alberta this upcoming summer. “While this is a humanitarian crisis that goes beyond sports, we also stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian hockey family and all those impacted around the world,” the federation said.

Other sporting federations have already imposed sanctions on Russian teams. FIFA suspended Russia from competing in international games until further notice. UEFA also moved the Champions League final from St. Petersburg to Paris and suspended Russian club Spartak Moscow from European competition. The governing bodies of skiing and Formula One pulled upcoming races from Russia.

The International Olympic Committee requested sports federations not invite Russian or Belarusian athletes and officials to participate in international competition, and to cancel or move all events planned to take place in Russia or Belarus.
