CALGARY, AB – The Western Hockey League announced today that Cody Porter of the Vancouver Giants has been named the VAUGHN WHL Goaltender of the Month for December 2014.
A 17-year-old from North Vancouver, B.C., Porter posted a 3-0-1-0 record over four appearances in December. He only allowed five goals on 104 shots faced for a 1.25 goals against average and a .954 save percentage, including one shutout. Porter started four of the Giants' nine games, holding the opposition to two goals or fewer on three occasions.
Porter's outstanding play helped the Giants to a 7-1-1-0 record through December. The 6'2", 188 lb netminder earned two second star honours as well as one third star selection in December. In addition, he was nominated for the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week award (December 15th – December 28th).
Porter is in his first WHL campaign with the Vancouver Giants and has posted a 6-6-1-0 record with two shutouts in 19 career regular season contests.
His accomplishments make Cody Porter a deserving choice as the VAUGHN WHL Goaltender of the Month for December.
After a ferocious pace to the first half of her season in the NCAA, Chelsea Laden has earned 8 shutouts and 11 wins posting a GAA under 1 and a save percentage over .960 earning her accolades in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. Laden has also earned her position back in camp competing for a position with the USA National Team. It is satisfying to see one of the hardest working athletes and gracious people earning these tremendous opportunities.
Elite Goalies and the Richmond Olympic Oval is launching an "Academy Style" program Called the EG GOALTENDING CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE January 2015! Goaltender will be exposed to a customized and progressive goaltending curriculum designed to bring out the best in every goaltender in attendance. Certified Fitness consultants and professional level goaltender training, lectures, assignments and full academic credit from their school. Register today as a 1 spot remains.
The first and most exclusive Goaltending Center of Excellence is set to begin January 12 2015 at the Richmond Olympic Oval. A select number of goaltenders will receive exclusive training from top level goaltending coaches such as Pasco Valana, Alex Auld, Brendan Metz and others. "The goal was to organize a program designed around the true development of high calibre goaltenders, working with them at each level of their game":
We are taking applications NOW for September 2015 with the confirmations made to goaltenders by April 30 2015! This is an exclusive program so apply early!
Canadian goaltending has taken some bashing in recent years, but Hockey Canada is in the process of doing something about it.
A new template for goaltending training in minor hockey is about to be implemented, and young netminders should begin to see some changes by next season, said Pasco Valana, who is working as an adviser to Hockey Canada on its goaltending certification program and is owner of Vancouver-based Elite Goalies hockey academy.
Said Valana: "Corey McNabb (Sr Manager of Player and Coach development for Hockey Canada) has been working tirelessly to create a program that has goaltending coaches from across the country coming together to look at what makes up a successful Canadian goaltender and where we are lacking compared to Sweden and Finland — who have very good systems in place."
Part of the process has been visits to Sweden, which revamped its goaltender training in 2002, and Finland — which started the goaltending renaissance the previous decade. Former NHL goalies Corey Hirsch and Rick Wamsley — members of the Hockey Canada advisory board — just returned from a trip to the Nordic countries.
Sweden and Finland are known for their emphasis on making dedicated goaltending instruction available at the youngest ages in minor hockey, and teaching a consistent set of skills throughout the age groups.
In Canada, it's more of a challenge due to the size of the country, the much larger numbers playing minor hockey and that the sport is mostly based in individual associations rather than club teams, as in Europe. Many aspiring young goalies are forced to pay for private instruction outside the framework of their team.
Valana said the Hockey Canada initiative will phase in more goaltending-specific coaching through a three-level approach.
One will involve more head coaches having the knowledge to instruct goalies, as well as forwards and defencemen.
"The goal is to have all the coaches who are coaching those minor hockey teams have the ability to not only teach a forward or a defenceman how to pass, but also to teach a goaltender how to play the puck," said Valana.
Another initiative is to educate parent volunteers so they can become dedicated goaltending coaches.
"Anyone who's interested, a mom or a dad who wants to learn how to teach goaltending, we'll show them some of those techniques, so the road to those habits doesn't have to be broken up and re-paved as we go along," said Valana.
As well, private goaltending schools will be consulted so they understand the details of the teaching template.
"We're not going to go and tell the local goaltending schools they are doing it wrong," said Valana. "It's more like: Here are the tools recognized by a lot of our peers across the country, and in places like Sweden and Finland, as what needs to get taught and mastered at each stage."
The goaltending instruction community in Canada used to be secretive, but now it's having to become more collaborative, said Vancouver goaltending instructor Sean Murray, who owns and operates Vancouver-area ProFormance Goalie School.
"We were humbled," he said. "Everyone in Canada had this big ego. Everyone used to hide their stuff, it was a big secret. Now everyone shares. We have group discussions on how to help each other. Everyone realized to a man that our system is flawed. When you find that, as any good coach, you work to change it. In Europe, everyone works together."
Valana said Canada's interest has been welcomed by the Swedes and Finns.
"In Europe they are not afraid to share, because they know we all get smarter and better rounded and that's what we're trying to accomplish in Canada," he said.
Valana said he sees the transition won't happen overnight and sees it taking fie to 10 years to fully implement.
"We want to make goaltending less complicated and easier to understand and tangible," he said. "I see us moving closer and closer to the model that Finland and Sweden have, but it's going to take time."
Cornell attempted to turn up the heat on Quinnipiac netminder Chelsea Laden (Lakeville, Minnesota) in the second and third periods but Laden continued to own the crease. Laden finished the game strong, including a barrage in the second period when she hugged the right side of the post and denied two shots from the right slot. Chelsea Laden is leading the nation in all goalie statistical categories with her fifth shutout in her seven wins so far this season, an impressive .29 Goals against average and a .974 save percentage .

Some clods on here think this entire conversation was fake. Maybe it was, maybe it was paraphrased and maybe it was a written transcript of a recording. They don't know, but don't mind making the accusation, then launching into a progressive-trademarked tirade about how wrong Adams is and that any debate is settled by popular opinion. Somehow, they have entirely missed the whole point of Adams' post.
Military intervention is not the smartest method of dealing with what we don't like. Unfortunately, our best non-military weapon has been removed from our arsenal - economics. When the U.S. and Europe were economic powerhouses, we didn't have to use force. Now, our glove has no fist inside and our opponents know it. After all, if we get too far out of line, they call in our debt and bring us to heel. I don't like it, but I can't blame the Russians for wanting to secure their naval base in Sevastopol. On the other hand, do you have to wait until you get a blowout to realize you need new tires? Most people try to look a little further down the road and anticipate what will happen next if the current situation continues. One more reason to strengthen our economy.
Young MEN behaving correctly. Thanks, guys.
It is amazing to me that the beliefs and feelings of so many people can be nullified by the threat of one, possibly imaginary, weenie throwing a tantrum. This sounds like the work of a professional 'offended' political hitman, making inspections and noting what opportunities are available for creating one of these 'offended' moments. Notice that the 'offended party' is rarely named, as it might infringe on their rights. But, still, you'd think the Air Force would have the backbone to stop this BS.
I agree with Dr. Brown on the real message of his article - if you don't start, you won't have to stop. Avoid the danger instead of indulging in it. This makes sense on so many levels. However, that doesn't address the impulse to do dangerous, stupid things for the sake of the thrill that so many young men (and now young women) do. Intelligence might be there in young people, but wisdom probably isn't. That takes time and life's education and reflection. Many bad habits are picked up during the age of intelligence without wisdom, not just smoking. These habits may haunt us the rest of our lives, even if we aren't crippled physically.
One other point, though, that I'm sure Dr. Brown is aware of. Three score and ten are the days allotted to man, and if he is strong and those days increase to 4 score, what does it gain him? Everyone has to die somehow and, while these three guys died because of their habits, that just happened to be the way these three died. They didn't burn in a housefire, get trampled by buffalo or eat tainted meat, the way lots of other people have died in the past. If they hadn't developed the habit, (addiction) to smoking, they may well have died earlier by some other way. No one gets out of this life without dying. At least, not yet.
What Dr. Sowell is talking about here is called, in psychology, 'learned helplessness'. It is, obviously, where the subject is taught to feel helpless. However, the difference between white lab rats and people is that the rats don't randomly attack the others in their group. Only humans try to blame others for what happens to them. What the liberals have done with this is to load the gun, put it in the 'victim's' hand, pull back the hammer and tell the 'victims' who their targets should be.
It sounds very good except for one point: Congressional salaries. If you made the salary of Congresspeople (men, women, representatives and senators) a million dollars a year, elections would be like a lottery with the voters deciding on who gets to be a millionaire. They check in, do nothing, retire after their term as millionaires. Perhaps a deal where they are guaranteed their old job back as it was when they left and match the salary they were getting while they are a Congressperson, would be better. Now, which members of Congress are going to introduce and support this law?

Lawyers not honoring their commitment
Lawyers for the proposed megadairy in Nora, Ill., Jo Daviess County, are not honoring their commitment to perform dye tracing tests that would guarantee the quality of the groundwater for thousands. These tests were agreed upon between the USEPA, Department of Justice and representatives of the megadairy back in December 2011.
In the April 19 issue of the Dubuque Telegraph Herald, an attorney representing the megadairy told reporters that there is no dye tracing project under way. Neighbors of the site say the only activity seen has been the removal of building materials.
The DOJ intervened after the megadairy repeatedly refused to fully answer questionnaires provided by the USEPA. The megadairy claimed that the USEPA had no right to investigate the facility. The DOJ stepped in, so the megadairy lawyers met with the USEPA and agreed to dye tracing. The neighbors granted access to megadairy scientists in 2011 for sampling springs.
July 2012, there is still no testing. Again, the USEPA is ignored.
Thank God, on Sept. 2, 2011, the Illinois EPA denied a permit that would have allowed A.J. Bos of Bakersfield, Calif., to build 14 of the 42 acres of manure storage over the headwaters of a tributary of the Apple River.

Welcome to Our Website!
Arterial Remodeling Technologies ("ART") is developing bioresorbable peripheral and coronary polymer stents that promote the natural remodeling of an injured artery after angioplasty. The Company's technology is based on intellectual property originating from three esteemed institutions: the Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, Ohio); the French national research institute, C.N.R.S. (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique), Montpellier, France; and, Necker University, Paris.
Proprietary Technology Platform
ART's bioresorbable stents are designed to dismantle in vivo over an optimized time horizon, thus allowing the body's own natural arterial remodeling process to occur, unrestricted by the presence of a permanent metallic stent.
Outstanding Scientific Advisors
ART's platform benefits from Pr. Michel Vert's 30 years of trade secret savoir-faire in biodegradable polymers.
art's bioresorbable stent vs. DES
Application of ARTs novel polymer technology to the development of its bioresorbable stents gives them several distinct advantages over drug-eluting stents (DES). The next-generation-approach being pursued by ART is to achieve temporary stenting of a traumatized angioplasty site, for example, to
Prevent acute and chronic recoil;
Allow the arterial wall to remodel through the use of a stent that dismantles; and
Allow natural physiological healing and remodeling processes to proceed.
