Becca Clarke is an outdoor enthusiast, much like Emile. They in fact met while they were both on a separate camping trip in Granite Falls. What supposed to be her srping break from univeristy life, turned into a romance escapade under pine trees and a thousand stars. She is very athletic and would most likely to have the easiest time adjusting to an off-grid situation.

Trivia: Emile doesn’t know she’s bisexual.

I don’t have a good name for this headcannon or pairing yet. Maybe you all can come up with something clever...

So it imagine it this way. Lexa is the shiny, new chief operating officer (COO) of the Gustav St. Helen Metropolitan Hospital in New York City, the medical industry’s cutting edge leader in biomechanics. In dire financial straights, the hospital sought out two years prior to find the uniquely talented individual to save their hospital from financial doom. They had the incredible minds and innovation, but the prior C-level executives had managed investor money so poorly, the hospital was in major debt before any of their new pipeline products could make it off the ground. They began their year-long search and landed on biomechanics’ genius, prodigy extraordinaire, Lexa Woods. 

Lexa had grown up inventing almost as early as she learned to walk. She had a brilliant mathematical, engineering mind that was constantly meddlin and tinkering, making new things and improving upon old ones. By high school, after being inspired by a dear family friend, Lexa had been accepted to nearby MIT to supplement her high school engineering curriculum. By 17, she was enrolled at Northwestern Univeristy in their accelerated dual degree program in biomedical engineering and medical school. By 22 she’d graduated with honors and had her own start-up engineering firm fully funded by venture capitalists, and was in her medical internship at one of Chicago’s top hospitals. By 25, after completing her residency in orthopedic surgery, she’d left th surgical world to focus on engineering, and by 27, she had three of the most successful patents for cutting-edge prosthetics, and her electronic wheelchair was being mass-produced in 15 different countries. 

She loved what she did, and she was damn good at it, but by 30, Lexa was ready to get out of the lab and try a new way to help people. She wanted to teach, she wanted to guide and create protocols, to streamline processes and create efficiencies. She wanted to continue to make an impact, but she wanted to slow down. The fast, high-life of her multi-million dollar generating inventions had helped keep her mind focused when all it really wanted to do was lament the loss of her child-hood sweetheart to budding career paths and long distance strain. But by 30, she was ready to face the fact that she would never truly be over the girl next door that’d made her world go round, and no amount of focusing on her inventions would solve that. They texted and emailed on the very rare occasion, to keep each other updated—they were friends after all and had ended amicably...as amicably as one could when losing the love of their life—but it would never be enough. She had to face it, and she had to live her life anyways. Cue, her entry into the world of administration. From 30-35, Lexa kept an associate professorship at NYU while working in and out of various executive administrative positions at labs and hospitals, gaining knowledge and experience in how to run an organization. It wasn’t until Gustav St. Helen Metropolitan Hospital approached her with their COO position though that things really began to click. 

One year into that position, and Lexa had finally found a sense of peace and contentment; the purpose, she had been longing for. Her colleagues were amazing, despite the overly aggressive flirtations of some of the residence and physicians, and the annoyingly obvious gold-digging intentions of others. Though Lexa was not much of a socialite, she enjoyed their company. There was only one thing that could have made it better, and she never could have imagined it would show up in her email 13 months after beginning her new positions at the hospital. 

Clarke Griffin is an incredibly trauma surgeon in need of a new attending position after her hospital in Portland merges with another and her position is claimed by an older man with seniority and a brother on the board. Always keeping an occasional eye on Gustav St. Helen’s open positions, she nearly falls out of her chair the morning she sees the posted opening for a trauma attending. 

She could hardly believe her eyes. There was no way the hospital the love of her life now worked at had the exact position she needed. There was no way. This was it, she had finally gone delirious from sleep deprivation and caffeine poisoning. And yet, when she refreshed the page, there the posting was, just waiting for her resume. 

Rather sheepishly, the first thing she did, was email Lexa. 

Two weeks later, Clarke walks through the doors of the beautiful, state of the art  GSH Metropolitan Hospital for her first round of interviews, so giddy she can hardly contain herself. It’s not the interview that has her trembling with excited nerves, it’s who she hopes to see. The one person that had been on her mind every day for the past 4, 375 days. But who was counting? Certainly not her. And certainly not for the past 12 years. The occasional chats over coffee when their schedules lined up or they landed in the same city for more than a few hours had been nice over the years, but this? The prospect of being in the same city for days, hell months or even years? Clarke could hard keep still as she sat in one of the waiting rooms for someone from HR to collect her. 

When a senior white coat came out to greet her with a warm smile and firm handshake, Clarke knew she was going to like it here. Fingers crossed that she’d make it to the next round of interviewing.

She was was walking down the hall with Taryn, her first meeting host, when her name came echoing down the hallway. She should chide herself for how disgustingly predictable and cheesy her reaction is to turning around to find Lexa jogging down the glass stairs from the atrium walkway, a beaming smile on her face. Clarke can’t help it when her walk turns into a jog and her jog turns into her body slamming into Lexa’s in a desperate hug laced with delighted laughter and a smile so wide it genuinely ached. 

“Hi,” Lexa says to her and it’s so familiar, Clarke wants to cry. But she’s too happy to cry, so instead, she laughs and throws her arms around Lexa’s neck once again until the taller, always quieter, always subtler woman is laughing again and squeezing her tight. 

“I missed you so much,” Clarke sighs into Lexa’s shoulder, smiling again when she feels Lexa’s squeeze in response. 

Clarke can feel Taryn watching them, knows she should hurry back to her and not keep their meeting waiting, but Clarke finds herself glued to the floor when Lexa holds her at arms length, hands resting lazy yet possessive and familiar on her hips for a moment before slipping away to disappear into perfectly tailored business slacks. 

“It’s so good to see you,” Lexa says, a smile on her face to rival Clarke’s. 

“It’s good to see you too.” 

“I don’t want to hold you up. Do you have plans after?” 

Clarke can only shake her head, all her energy directed at attempting to keep her smile from growing any wider. 

“Will you come find me after?” 

“Yes, of course,” Clarke says too quickly to be casual or cool, but she doesn’t care. The greatest love of her life, her soulmate, was standing in front of her again, and it wasn’t a dream this time. She had no idea how Lexa felt about them, if she was with someone—that thought alone was enough to momentarily cause her smile to falter—or if had long since stopped loving her. But for Clarke, the feelings had never gone away, and simply having Lexa back in her life would be enough for now. 

Lexa’s smile is adorable and shy and sexy all at once as she nods at Clarke’s enthusiastic response. “Good. My office is upstairs. Kind of a maze, but just ask someone. They’ll get you there.” 

“I’ll see you then, then,” Clarke says, laughing at herself when she hears how insane she sounds. 

Lexa laughs too and Clarke knows she’s in danger of floating away on cloud nine any minute now. 

“See you then. Break a leg in there, I know they’ll love you,” Lexa days with the calm, understated charm of her voice Clarke had fallen in love with over and over again throughout the years.

“You think so?” 

“I know so.” Lexa gives her a wink and Clarke melts like the 16 year old that had melted the first time Lexa had pressed her up against the rusty door of her ‘67 chevy pick-up and kissed her breathless. “You’re gonna do great. Come find me after.” 

Clarke hugs her again, taking in the first full breath she’d managed in the last 4,375 days. But who was counting? 

Stay tuned for part 2!

FREUD BRINGS HIS JEWISH “PLAGUE” TO AMERICA. THE JEW SIGMUND FREUD   visited America in 1909 to give lectures at Clark University in Worcester MA. While on the boat to America Freud said to his colleague Karl Jung: “We are bringing the plague to America.” Freud soon established an “elite” - an “apostolic succession.” This “succession” began with the Jew, Alfred Adler (1870-1937)  who in 1932 established a psychoanalysis professorship at the Long Island College of Medicine in America. Adler, as a transmitter of Freud’s teachings, promulgated “bisexuality” as a means of healing childhood conflicts. And thus the Gay Rights Movement was born from the perverted mouth of the Freudian Jew Adler. The Jew, Erik Erikson (1904-1994) continued the “apostolic succession” in America reaching the pinnacle of his career by being one of the first Jews to take a professorship at Yale University in 1936. The Freudian mantle passed to such Jews as Erich Fromm (1900-1980); Otto Kernberg (b 1928) of Cornell Univeristy (b 1928); Anna Freud (1895-1982), Freud’s daughter); and New York Jewish glamour boy, Roy Schafer, (b 1922) author of A New Language for Psychoanalysis. And what is the “new language” that these high priests of Freudian psychology promote? A) Confession; B)  Absolution C) “Holy” Communion. http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=166

is that HENRY CAVILL? no, that’s CLARK KENT also known by some as SUPERMAN but the world thinks he is just a REPORTER. if i’m not mistaken he is 40 and he was AGAINST the hero ban.

Basic little facts:

Answers to all of the following: Kal-El, Clark Kent, Superman, Man of Steel. (Well, y’know before the ban)

Looks like a scary grizzly bear, is actually a soft teddy bear

Lived his childhood life in small little Smallville, Kansas, with his adoptive parents

Likes to have cereal for breakfast

Left Smallville to attend Metropolis Univeristy

After that he began to work for the Daily Planet

Went through a hell of few ups and downs as Superman

Got married to Lois Lane

Became the father of bb Jon

Had, even more, ups and downs with Conner 

then the ban happened

Starcityhq related:

When the ban was placed, Clark felt like he had been a big part of the decision. Or at least, it was because of those powered like him that the people felt unsafe. His guilt overcame him so much that he chose to leave his life behind and go back to the only time he’d ever felt normal. Back to Smallville Kansas. In Smallville he tried to keep a low profile as much as he could, helping Martha with the Kent farm and taking a local job at the diner. Doing all the things he’d done as a teenager— before he knew who Kal-El was. 

He felt alone, betrayed.Even tho he was alongside Lois and Jon the whole time.  Days went on & it became harder for him to ignore the pain in his chest, the pull for his old life. That feeling of acceptance was no longer there. 

It took five years for the overwhelming empty feeling to take over and for Clark to decide he just couldn’t do it anymore— he couldn’t hang the cape. His focus now is on getting his life back in track. Whether that means relationships he left behind, friends he closed off, or his job. He wants to fix it all.

When the Daily Planet decided to start a Star City branch Clark saw it as a sign, a new beginning. Slowly, he’s making the transition from Alien to human wannabe to just another Alien with a secret identity. 

I am so here for all of the plots okay. Everything. Any crazy idea, you got it.

Engineers design color-changing compression bandage

Compression therapy is a standard form of treatment for patients who suffer from venous ulcers and other conditions in which veins struggle to return blood from the lower extremities. Compression stockings and bandages, wrapped tightly around the affected limb, can help to stimulate blood flow. But there is currently no clear way to gauge whether a bandage is applying an optimal pressure for a given condition.

Now engineers at MIT have developed pressure-sensing photonic fibers that they have woven into a typical compression bandage. As the bandage is stretched, the fibers change color. Using a color chart, a caregiver can stretch a bandage until it matches the color for a desired pressure, before, say, wrapping it around a patient’s leg.

The photonic fibers can then serve as a continuous pressure sensor — if their color changes, caregivers or patients can use the color chart to determine whether and to what degree the bandage needs loosening or tightening.

“Getting the pressure right is critical in treating many medical conditions including venous ulcers, which affect several hundred thousand patients in the U.S. each year,” says Mathias Kolle, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “These fibers can provide information about the pressure that the bandage exerts. We can design them so that for a specific desired pressure, the fibers reflect an easily distinguished color.”

Kolle and his colleagues have published their results in the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials. Co-authors from MIT include first author Joseph Sandt, Marie Moudio, and Christian Argenti, along with J. Kenji Clark of the Univeristy of Tokyo, James Hardin of the United States Air Force Research Laboratory, Matthew Carty of Brigham and Women’s Hospital-Harvard Medical School, and Jennifer Lewis of Harvard University.

Natural inspiration

The color of the photonic fibers arises not from any intrinsic pigmentation, but from their carefully designed structural configuration. Each fiber is about 10 times the diameter of a human hair. The researchers fabricated the fiber from ultrathin layers of transparent rubber materials, which they rolled up to create a jelly-roll-type structure. Each layer within the roll is only a few hundred nanometers thick.

In this rolled-up configuration, light reflects off each interface between individual layers. With enough layers of consistent thickness, these reflections interact to strengthen some colors in the visible spectrum, for instance red, while diminishing the brightness of other colors. This makes the fiber appear a certain color, depending on the thickness of the layers within the fiber.

“Structural color is really neat, because you can get brighter, stronger colors than with inks or dyes just by using particular arrangements of transparent materials,” Sandt says. “These colors persist as long as the structure is maintained.”

The fibers’ design relies upon an optical phenomenon known as “interference,” in which light, reflected from a periodic stack of thin, transparent layers, can produce vibrant colors that depend on the stack’s geometric parameters and material composition. Optical interference is what produces colorful swirls in oily puddles and soap bubbles. It’s also what gives peacocks and butterflies their dazzling, shifting shades, as their feathers and wings are made from similarly periodic structures.

“My interest has always been in taking interesting structural elements that lie at the origin of nature’s most dazzling light manipulation strategies, to try recreating and employing them in useful applications,” Kolle says.

A multilayered approach

The team’s approach combines known optical design concepts with soft materials, to create dynamic photonic materials.

While a postdoc at Harvard in the group of Professor Joanna Aizenberg, Kolle was inspired by the work of Pete Vukusic, professor of biophotonics at the University of Exeter in the U.K., on Margaritaria nobilis, a tropical plant that produces extremely shiny blue berries. The fruits’ skin is made up of cells with a periodic cellulose structure, through which light can reflect to give the fruit its signature metallic blue color.

Together, Kolle and Vukusic sought ways to translate the fruit’s photonic architecture into a useful synthetic material. Ultimately, they fashioned multilayered fibers from stretchable materials, and assumed that stretching the fibers would change the individual layers’ thicknesses, enabling them to tune the fibers’ color. The results of these first efforts were published in Advanced Materials in 2013.

When Kolle joined the MIT faculty in the same year, he and his group, including Sandt, improved on the photonic fiber’s design and fabrication. In their current form, the fibers are made from layers of commonly used and widely available transparent rubbers, wrapped around highly stretchable fiber cores. Sandt fabricated each layer using spin-coating, a technique in which a rubber, dissolved into solution, is poured onto a spinning wheel. Excess material is flung off the wheel, leaving a thin, uniform coating, the thickness of which can be determined by the wheel’s speed.

For fiber fabrication, Sandt formed these two layers on top of a water-soluble film on a silicon wafer. He then submerged the wafer, with all three layers, in water to dissolve the water-soluble layer, leaving the two rubbery layers floating on the water’s surface. Finally, he carefully rolled the two transparent layers around a black rubber fiber, to produce the final colorful photonic fiber.­­

Reflecting pressure

The team can tune the thickness of the fibers’ layers to produce any desired color tuning, using standard optical modeling approaches customized for their fiber design.

“If you want a fiber to go from yellow to green, or blue, we can say, ‘This is how we have to lay out the fiber to give us this kind of [color] trajectory,’” Kolle says. “This is powerful because you might want to have something that reflects red to show a dangerously high strain, or green for ‘ok.’ We have that capacity.”

The team fabricated color-changing fibers with a tailored, strain-dependent color variation using the theoretical model, and then stitched them along the length of a conventional compression bandage, which they previously characterized to determine the pressure that the bandage generates when it’s stretched by a certain amount.

The team used the relationship between bandage stretch and pressure, and the correlation between fiber color and strain, to draw up a color chart, matching a fiber’s color (produced by a certain amount of stretching) to the pressure that is generated by the bandage.

To test the bandage’s effectiveness, Sandt and Moudio enlisted over a dozen student volunteers, who worked in pairs to apply three different compression bandages to each other’s legs: a plain bandage, a bandage threaded with photonic fibers, and a commercially-available bandage printed with rectangular patterns. This bandage is designed so that when it is applying an optimal pressure, users should see that the rectangles become squares.

Overall, the bandage woven with photonic fibers gave the clearest pressure feedback. Students were able to interpret the color of the fibers, and based on the color chart, apply a corresponding optimal pressure more accurately than either of the other bandages.

The researchers are now looking for ways to scale up the fiber fabrication process. Currently, they are able to make fibers that are several inches long. Ideally, they would like to produce meters or even kilometers of such fibers at a time.

“Currently, the fibers are costly, mostly because of the labor that goes into making them,” Kolle says. “The materials themselves are not worth much. If we could reel out kilometers of these fibers with relatively little work, then they would be dirt cheap.”

Then, such fibers could be threaded into bandages, along with textiles such as athletic apparel and shoes as color indicators for, say, muscle strain during workouts. Kolle envisions that they may also be used as remotely readable strain gauges for infrastructure and machinery.

“Of course, they could also be a scientific tool that could be used in a broader context, which we want to explore,” Kolle says.

This research was supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation and by the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Validating The Problem

I asked 7 instructional designers if they thought problems arose due to the transition between a graduate school learning environment and the real world. 5 said yes. 2 said no, with qualifications.

1) Dave Wiley — Yes. Here’s the problem: IDs have trouble engaging effectively in their work due to unmet expectations. Non-ID example: Japan mission experience of missionaries who thought they were going to knock doors had a tough time transitioning to just playing sports and teaching english. Impact: lots of dogs kicked. Solution: 1 credit class called “Principle Compromise 101.”

Like Mike Tyson said, “everyone has a plan until someone punches them in the face.” Bill Gross (TED Talk) 

Key insight: Expectations and plans impact one’s reality.

2) Zack Tibbits — No. Zack never had trouble transitioning. He thinks this was because he was already employed by U of U working in EdTech when they offered to pay for his MS in Instructional design. Then he worked for the FAA (government) while he was doing his PhD work in distance education. His “transition” was seamless because when he was in his graduate courses, he would mentally say things like, “I’ll use this. But I won’t use this.” He also told me, “my personality is far too easy going” to ever push back. “I don’t have any problem bending to the will of others.” He definitely sees this as a problem for others.

Key insight: Zach’s story made me realize that a key factor to transition success is how much exposure you already have to life in the field before or during your time in grad school.

3) Shandon Gubler: Yes. He has observed a conflicts with new employees transitioning between school and work learning environments.

Shandon Gubler is an emeritus professor at BYU’s Marriot School of Business. At the Y, Gubler used Blackboard (LMS) as a framework for a blended-learning/flipped classroom pedagogy. In addition to teaching, he has been involved with developing many businesses including Agilix, which is still around (K-12). Now, Gubler teaches business at Dixie State. Upon moving down there, he asked, “how can I improve the learner's experience?” (Incidentally, his son was recently accepted to BYU's IP&T Masters program. He is apparently good friends with Kevin Worthen and is in discussions with him to implement changes to BYU-Provo's univeristy learning model...)

Shandon's Learning Approach:

As a business practitioner, Shandon is concerned with limiting the transition of employee readiness when entering the workforce. He wants learner's first education to be closer to what every new employee experiences in a "second education." In other words, he wants to help close the gap between theory and practice. To combat this, Shandon has his business school learners connect with potential employers and learn the course curricula in the context of Walter Gong's 3-Person Problem. Shandon is anything but a “sage on the stage.” Gubler is currently experimenting with his own brand of “active” classroom, which seems to also be modeled after BYU-I’s president, Kim Clark’s Learning Model. Gubler calls his model, Millennial pedagogy:

Pre-class work

Study to teach — Learners do chapter readings in textbook outside of class. Learners then answer custom-made chapter-summary questions to ensure the learner stays focused on important content.

Teach to learn — Learners select a real-world practitioner/mentor in the community whom they can teach what they just learned. Hopefully, the learner finds someone in the specific field they hope to eventually go into. This weekly communication is typically achieved via f2f, or video conference. When teaching, learners engage higher-order learning (according to Bloom’s Taxonomy) by coming up with appropriate stories, illustrations, and examples. Students usually teach 10-12 times, which is the number of chapters covered in the textbook.

Learn to apply — (Student asks real-world practitioner, “how are you going to change your business based on what I’ve taught you today.”) The person they’re teaching (practitioner) then mentor’s or coaches the learner. One more touch point for learner to apply what they’re learning to the practice.

Class Work

Learners are grouped (ideally in smaller groups, e.g., 3-4 people) at the beginning of the semester and pre-assigned to walk the class through the chapters.

In addition to chapter reviews and synthesis, real-world case studies are handed out in class. Learners are asked to apply what they’ve learned from the chapters and teaching experiences as they discuss the cases.

Experience working with Mentors:

During the first few weeks, there is grumbling on both sides of the learner/mentor relationship. But after that time, the mentors realize that this experience is a terrific recruiting opportunity for their respective companies. Business practitioners realize that this kind of relationship creates a valuable connection to university hiring pools. This mentoring opportunity is a great alternative to how businesses traditionally spend their recruiting dollars. Similar to UBER, the partnership meets the needs of both parties; employers want new hires they can trust, and students what jobs after graduating in their area of interest. Thus, practitioners want to systematize this program so they don’t need to wait to be asked to mentor each new semester. If systematized, other businesses and universities could choose to adopt it.

Feedback from professional mentors:

Mentors want the textbook chapter material before the student comes to them so they can be more prepared with appropriate feedback? (This raises a copyright issue. I’m sure publishers make an option for the practitioners to purchase a copy.)

Mentors want to give the students mini-projects during their 12-weeks together. (Internships are costly and take time.)

Mentors want Gubler to better match them up with students that really want to be in their industry. In return, they’d be willing to share with Dixie their company’s budget used for talent acquisition. They learn together.

Key Insights: Gubler’s model of connecting students with professionals during the grad school experience is closes the gap between theory and practice. The further the learning is from the context of use, the fewer schemata nodes are being utilized to store the information.4) Tara — Yes. She was hired by UVU for a “professor support” Summer internship. But she didn’t really employ design skills like she thought she would. She considered herself an overpaid administrative assistant. E.g., “Come do this mundane task for me.” She hoped to be working with the professor instead of for the professor.

Key insight: Unmet expectations.

5) McKoo Staples — No. McKoo was only hired by the CTL 2 weeks ago. His job is to design a website that increases awareness of the affordability of OER. He’s in the “honeymoon” phase. Not enough time has passed for him to be critical of other’s ideas of business processes/practices. He’s still wrapping his head around his task, so all information is good. If someone tells him to alter his thinking/practice, he will. You sweet summer child.

Key insight: Too soon in education and work experience to have expectations to be unmet.

6) Taylor Halverson — Yes. Tyler did experience transition woes when he worked for Cisco. Currently BYU’s director of innovation. His major beef was that was ID students feel locked into doing things a certain way. They have no flexibility; and design jobs demand flexibility, if nothing else in terms of competencies.

Key insight: For one reason or another, people feel like they have to fit into job roles, titles, expectations, boxes, competencies.

7) Sabrina Hyuitt — Yes. Sabrina slogged it out at UVU for over a year and a half. She claimed her manager was insecure about his position. That he didn’t know how to make managerial decisions, and thus feels challenged when novice instructional designers ask how to do something. There was no on-boarding, which is what Sabrina says contributed most to her struggle to transition to her position.

Key insight: Sometimes there’s nothing that can be done to prepare people for a toxic cultural work experience.

Maybe I should be looking at crappy senior instructional designers and where their educations failed them. Title: How Not To Be a Crappy Senior Instructional Designer (Manager of other IDs). There is a difference between what the workforce calls a “senior” designer (time in field/familiarity with company processes and culture) and what academia calls an “expert” designer (competencies).

Unapologetic Blog

There's no denying that I am a U SPORTS fan when it comes to hockey. Yes, there are other incredible sports to watch within U SPORTS - football, basketball, field hockey, rugby, and more - but I have had the privilege for the last number of years to watch U SPORTS men's and women's hockey up-close and in-person. It shocks me how this is a segment of the hockey world that has gone unnoticed for so long when such esteemed players like Mike Ridley, Derek Ryan, Stu Grimson, and Jared Aulin have all played hockey at the U SPORTS level. Granted, there aren't the McDavids and Crosbys at the U SPORTS level yet, but U SPORTS is producing some incredible talent, and we witnessed something happen this week that has never happened before when it comes to the talent at the U SPORTS level. For the first time since the Canadian World Junior hopefuls began squaring off against the U SPORTS all-star squad in 2015, this year was the first to see the U SPORTS all-stars sweep the two-game series against Canada's best junior players. It also marked the first time any U SPORTS team has won more than one game against Hockey Canada since 1988. Some may point to this as an anomaly in the history of the U SPORTS-Hockey Canada annual December showdown, but it might be time to start giving U SPORTS its due credit for attracting some great talent to the university circuit. While the U SPORTS all-stars did name two goalies to the roster, it was a pair of Hockey Canada hopefuls who pitched a shutout on Wednesday night, backstopping the U SPORTS squad to a 3-0 victory. Because Hockey Canada brought four goaltenders to camp, the U SPORTS team agreed to have two of the Hockey Canada goalies tend the nets for them in both games in order to help Hockey Canada evaluate its players. Colton Point and Carter Hart stopped all 32 shots they faced on Wednesday in blanking Canada with Point stopping 14 shots in his 30 minutes of work while Hart made 18 saves. While the Canadian offence was silenced by the two netminders, the U SPORTS team saw Luke Philp (Alberta) score on Michael DiPietro 2:44 into the game on a power-play. Michael Clarke (St. Francis-Xavier) and Logan McVeigh (Saskatchewan) added empty-netters late to pace the U SPORTS all-stars to the 3-0 win. Make no mistake, though, as the U SPORTS team skated with the Canadian juniors for the entire game, giving no less that they took from players who are competing for a spot on the Canadian World Junior squad. Some will point to the fact that Canada sat OHL leading scorer Jordan Kyrou, 2017 WHL player of the year Sam Steel, Robert Thomas, Alex Formenton, Kale Clague, Conor Timmins, Victor Mete, Dillon Dube, and Dante Fabbro as a weaker-than-normal Canadian squad, but let's not forget that the U SPORTS all-stars are players who haven't been top picks at the NHL draft nor have been enough of offensive dynamos for NHL teams to come calling. Whatever the case, a lot of people kind of shrugged off the win on Wednesday due to the fact that the U SPORTS team had two outstanding junior goalies playing for them, only scored a special teams goal, the U SPORTS team being older and more physically mature, and didn't get the full Canadian junior squad's best players. It'll be a different story tomorrow, they said, when the junior squad ices a better team. Thursday night saw the U SPORTS team prevail a second time with a 4-3 win over the Canadian squad. There were a few chances for both sides, but the two teams made good on what they could muster as the Canadians out shot the U SPORTS team 27-23 at the end of the game. Alberta's Jason Fram scored with 6.5 seconds remaining in the game off a rebound while on the power-play to give the university squad the victory. Golden Bears teammate Cole Sanford had a pair of goals in the win while former Niagara IceDog Stephen Harper, currently playing at Acadia Univeristy, returned to the arena where he played junior and scored the second goal for U SPORTS. Alex Formenton, Robert Thomas, and Kale Clague responded for Canada. The two netminders from the previous night - Hart and Point - backstopped Canada on Thursday while Harvey Samuel and DiPietro joined the U SPORTS team. Samuel stopped 13 of 15 shots in his 30 minutes of work while DiPietro picked up the win as he stopped 11 of 12 shots. Hart stopped 7 of 9 shots in his half-game while Colton Point took the loss in stopping 16 of 18 shots, including surrendering the late goal to Fram. Both Dube and Fabbro sat again in nursing injuries while Jake Bean, Cale Makar, Michael McLeod, Tyler Steenbergen, Taylor Raddysh, Brett Howden, and Boris Katchouk all took seats for this game as Canada evaluates its talent. In the end, no one is going to look at this series as a turning point for either team or program, but it should point out that the players who are filling the rosters of the U SPORTS teams across this nation have a ton of talent. Eleven different universities were featured on the U SPORTS team. Comparatively, the talent they showcased in these two games against Canada on this roster includes:

A Spengler Cup goalie (Jordon Cooke - Saskatchewan).

A defenceman with AHL and ECHL experience (Fram - Alberta).

An Atlanta Thrasher draft pick (Kendal McFaull - Saskatchewan).

A winger with ECHL experience (Sanford - Alberta).

You can't say that the U SPORTS team simply was better when it comes to their hockey experience. McFaull was a sixth-round pick of the Thrashers whereas the Canadian junior squad has multiple first- and second-round picks on its roster. Instead, the difference is that the players at the U SPORTS level have more experience as most are between 20 and 24 years of age. They're playing against more physically mature players, making it more akin to the ECHL than to junior hockey. What makes U SPORTS unique is that players who may have filled a role on their junior teams as assigned by the coaching staff may be filling a new role in U SPORTS hockey. Josh Roach and Luke Philp, for example, both played against the Canadian juniors and are first- and second-leading scorers, respectively, in Canada West while Logan McVeigh is fourth-overall in scoring. Here's where things change: Josh Roach never even played major junior hockey. He suited up for the Humboldt Broncos and the Flin Flon Bombers in the SJHL before enrolling at the University of Saskatchewan. He leads the Canada West Conference in scoring, yet never once led his SJHL teams in scoring. He was a point-per-game player with the Bombers in his final SJHL campaign, but he twice has exceeded that rate of scoring with the Huskies including this season where he's already tied his career-high in points. As we've seen with junior players, often their roles and their physical maturity dictate their effectiveness at that level. Roach has found his game at the U SPORTS level, and the Huskies are reaping the rewards. The top-ranked Alberta Golden Bears, in terms of having a better-than-junior team, have players with 20 games of AHL experience, 136 games of ECHL experience, and one NHL sixth-round pick on their current roster. No one is saying that they'd compete as an ECHL team, but that kind of experience is why the Golden Bears find themselves at the top of the national rankings year after year. As further examples, third-ranked Saskatchewan, who is often a favorite for a national championship, currently boasts a lineup with two games of AHL experience, 17 games of ECHL experience, and three NHL draft picks in McFaull, Sam Ruopp (Columbus), and Jordan Fransoo (Ottawa). The second-ranked UNB Varsity Reds' roster boasts 35 games of AHL experience, 48 games of ECHL experience, and three NHL draft picks in Olivier Leblanc (Columbus), Colin Suellentrop (Philadelphia), and Christopher Clapperton (Florida). Again, no one is saying that these three teams could hop into an ECHL season and beat any of those teams, but there is enough talent in U SPORTS hockey that no one should be surprised that they can defeat Canada's best junior players. I guess what it comes down to for most of these teams is that they aren't marketed as an exciting and entertaining alternative to the overpriced NHL or some not-so-strong junior clubs. The 14-17-2-1 Saskatoon Blades share a market with the 13-2-1 Saskatchewan Huskies. Which team would you rather see when just viewing their records? The Huskies are virtually a lock for the Canada West playoffs while the Blades are battling for, at best, a wild card spot where they'll mostly be bounced in the opening round based on how the WHL is playing out. If you're a fan, why wouldn't you drop in and see the third-best team in the nation who is putting together another incredible season? The Alberta Golden Bears get decent crowds, but based on how the WHL's Edmonton Oil Kings are doing - brutal, by the way - you'd assume they'd sell out Clare Drake Arena for every game. That's not so, however, as the 7-22-3-1 Oil Kings are still a draw over the top-ranked 15-1-0 Golden Bears. The Golden Bears might be the best hockey in Edmonton for the money, and that includes the Oilers and their tire fire of a season. The Golden Bears, despite being Canada's best university team, average 1043 fans per game. If the Oilers were 15-1-0 on the season, there wouldn't be a seat available at Rogers Place regardless of ticket cost. Cost to see the virtually unbeatable Golden Bears? $16 per ticket. Yeah, you do the math. I guess what I'm saying is that U SPORTS deserves more credit than what the current mainstream sports media spends on it, and it's up to you, readers, to get out to your local universities and check out the action. This isn't just a call for U SPORTS teams either. NCAA teams can certainly use your support as well, and it's not going to cost you an arm or a leg. The action is incredible, the atmosphere is fun, and the hockey is excellent. But why don't you find out for yourself? Games resume in January, and the action will certainly be even more heated as the races for conference playoff spots and berths to the national championships are on the line. While the NHL and the AHL are grinding through the winter months of January and February, there will be teams whose seasons will be on the line prior to the NHL's trade deadline, and that's why you should be going to see your local university and collegiate teams. I guarantee that you'll see some incredible hockey for pennies on the dollar when compared to what is spent at NHL arenas. Support local hockey. It's just as good or better than junior hockey, and it's far less expensive compared to some of the horrid hockey being played in NHL rinks. You're going to find some outstanding hockey hiding in those rinks, so get out there and catch all the action! Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice! from Sports News http://hockey-blog-in-canada.blogspot.com/2017/12/unapologetic-blog.html
