Love pre season hockey. Carter 2 assists in first period. Probably take 10 games in regular season for him to get 2
This is a pretty common thing in hockey through all levels. Figure skaters will always be better skaters than hockey players and because of this many ex figure skaters become power skating coaches.Originally Posted by Russian Rocket
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- The Edmonton Oilers have hired Olympic figure skating champion David Pelletier as a skating coach.
Pelletier won a gold medal in pairs with partner Jamie Sale at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. The Canadians were awarded gold along with a Russian pair after a judging scandal.
It was Canada's first Olympic title in pairs in 42 years.
Since the 39-year-old Pelletier retired from professional figure skating, he has served as a power skating coach. He has worked with the Canadian women's hockey team.
The Oilers announced the hire Wednesday.
We know. Just bustin' balls. I had buddies who did ballet for hockey growing up. Helps with the footwork.This is a pretty common thing in hockey through all levels.

</header>NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman can’t yet commit to the World Cup of Hockey. "My hope and expectation is that, in the not too distant future, we are in a position to announce that yes we are going to do a World Cup,” he said this week in Toronto.
His counterpart Donald Fehr, however, may have let the cat out of the bag.
According to a report on Hokej.cz, the executive director of the National Hockey League Players Association informed members of the IIHF Congress in Tenerife, Spain, that the World Cup will be held in 2016, between Sept. 15 and Oct. 1.
The six teams he said will take part: Canada, USA, Russia, Czech Republic, Sweden and Finland. There will be two other countries involved; one assumes Slovakia and Switzerland would be in the mix.
There’s no information yet how the tournament will be seeded; possibilities include using the number of NHL players on the rosters and IIHF rankings.
The NHL had indicated previously that the World Cup wouldn't be ready for 2015, but that 2016 was more likely. That would put it in a 2-year cycle that might mean another World Cup in the 2018 Olympic year, with the Winter Games scheduled for PyeongChang. There's no promise that the NHL will participate in the 2018 Games, clearing the way for host South Korea to win hockey gold. Althought probably not. Sorry, Jim Paek.
Dumb, there is already the Olympics...just hand the trophy to the Canadiens and get on with the regular season.World Cup of Hockey returning in 2016 NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman can’t yet commit to the World Cup of Hockey.

more international hockey is a good thingDumb, there is already the Olympics...just hand the trophy to the Canadiens and get on with the regular season.
Not when it screws up the regular season, gives no All-Star Break, and injures players.more international hockey is a good thing
I agree once every 4 years is enoughNot when it screws up the regular season, gives no All-Star Break, and injures players.
