Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat Ice T - Reckless

[c-40]

A-T-4 152 David Storrs & Chris "The Glove" Taylor featuring Ice-T

I've learned more about David Storrs. After graduating from UCLA Storrs (as David Stores) shows up as a dancer in Toni Basil's Word Of Mouth video, this is the video that kickstarts her pop career and you can see the video here. Basil had been a dancer and choreographer in Hollywood since the 1960s she was also a founding member of the street dance group The Lockers

Most of the tracks in this post will be from the films Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (Breakdance in Europe). Shabba-Doo who plays Ozone in these films was also a member of The Lockers. Toni Basil's Word Of Mouth video leads to two specials being made for the BBC, Toni Basil Tape 1 and Toni Basil Tape 2, Shabba-Doo is in both of these specials

In early 1980s in the MacArthur Park area of LA was a place punk rock bands rehearsed but on Fridays between 11pm and 5am it became a club called Radio. This was a fashionable hotspot that attracted celebrities like Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan, and Toni Basil. Being on the scene David Storrs visited Radio Club and it was here where he met DJ Pebo who worked for JDC Records. DJ Pebo introduced Storrs to the Radio Crew. Radio Crew was an impromptu name for the DJ's and MC's who performed at Radio Club. The name came about in 1983 when director Topper Carew produced a documentary about the Radio Club called Breakin' 'n' Enterin'. The Radio Crew were Egyptian Lover, Chris "The Glove" Taylor, Ice T, and Radio Club owner Super AJ (Alex Jordanov). A rare as hens teeth five track Radio Crew EP was pressed up for the Breakin' And Enterin' documentary crew

One of the featured b boys in Breakin' And Enterin' is (the other guy credited with teaching Michael Jackson the backslide) Boogaloo Shrimp. He was a well respected b boy at Radio Club and would be cast as Turbo in the films Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo

David Storrs and DJ Pebo formed a record label called ElectroBeat and promptly signed The Glove, Ice T, and another Radio Club MC 14-year-old Kid Frost. Rough Cut by Kid Frost would be first release for ElectroBeat

David Storrs seems to be a bit of a polymath. As well as dancing with Toni Basil he had a BSc in Electrical Engineering and was in-house composer, producer, and musician at Valley of the Sun Publishing (see Sunday's post). Storrs released New Age music for Valley Of The Sun as a solo artist and as part of the group Upper Astral. Kid Frost gave Storrs the name "The Alien Wizard" for all the creative and unique tracks that he laid. In 1985 Kid Frost and David Storrs would release Terminator, a track that was popular in the UK thanks to its inclusion on Street Sounds Electro 9, this being my era I can still recite all the words to this track

The Glove was a scratch DJ but on Kid Frost's Rough Cut they use World Class Wreckin Crew DJ and future member of NWA, Yella. ElectroBeat's second released was Ice-T's double A-side Killers/Body Rock. Ice-T's name for David Storrs was "Davey PHD". It wasn't until ElectroBeat's third release that David Storrs would collaborate with The Glove, the result is the remarkable Itchiban [not Ichiban] Scratch

The studio engineer Victor Flores also worked on Itchiban Scratch, Flores had worked with The Glove earlier producing megamixes like the ones I shared here

I've also shared Itchiban Scratch but as this is David Storrs and Chris "The Glove" Taylor's first release together here's an extract from the long b-side

Chris “The Glove” Taylor & Dave Storrs with Karlos Z and Victor Flores - Itchiban's Bonus Beats (extract) everybody loves a 303

DJ Pebo and David Storrs timing couldn't have been better. After watching Breakin' 'n' Enterin' a representative of Cannon Films turned up at Radio Club with an offer to film a low-budget movie there. Carmelo Alvarez who had been given the building accepted. Working in David Storrs' garage studio The Glove and Storrs produced an instrumental called Reckless which they submitted to be used in the film. Ice T and the Glove were given parts in the movie, essentially playing themselves. Ice T added a vocal to Reckless (and apparently this inspires Eminem to take up rapping). The film was Breakin' and it was the surprise hit of the summer. Storrs, The Glove, and Ice T also contribute a second track to the film, Tibetan Jam which is used in the famous first battle scene

Here's the instrumental (don't worry I'll get to Reckless)

Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Tibetan Jam

You may have noticed that the graffiti behind Ice T and The Glove in the above film clip reads Radio♥︎Tron. The writer Craze originally sprayed up Radio Club but Super AJ protested. The word "Club" got buffed and replaced with "Tron" (probably because of the movie Tron). The name stuck and between 1983 until it closed in 1986 Radio Club became the legendary RadioTron, a cultural mecca for West Coast breakers and grafitti artists

Tibetan Jam isn't included on the Breakin' soundtrack album but it does appear as the b-side of the single version of Reckless released by major label Polydor

Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Reckless

Reckless is a well respected track and it gave the soundtrack to Breakin' some authenticity. The Breakin' OST is at all bad

Chaka Khan contributed her and Rufus's 1983 hit Aint Nobody to the Breakin' OST. When it came to the video for her next single I Feel For You in the Autumn of 1984 a set was built to look like RadioTron. The Glove was cast again as the DJ. Breakin' stars Shabba-Doo and Boogaloo Shrimp were featured dancers along side other RadioTron regulars Bruno "Pop N Taco" Falcon and Ana "Lollipop" Sánchez - both of whom appear in Breakin'

Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Reckless (Instrumental)

Capitalising on the box office success of Breakin' and the time sensitive popularity of breakin' (which would fall out of fashion in the US but as with turntablism and graffiti would be kept growing in Europe then make its way back to the US in the late 1990s) Cannon Pictures quickly put out Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo by the end of 1984. This might seem an incredible feat if you don't know Cannon Pictures

Chris "The Glove" Taylor and Ice T reprise their roles in the second film. Although Chris "The Glove" Taylor, David Storrs, and Ice T don't appear on the Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo soundtrack album their tracks are used in the film in key scenes. The first is a new version of Reckless with different words known as "Reckless Rivalry Combat" or simply "Combat"

Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Reckless Rivalry Combat

Chris "The Glove" Taylor & David Storrs feat. Ice T - Party People (Go Off) then there's this "Party People (Go Off)" from the RadioTron club scene

David Storrs also released the single "Dancing On The Planet" in 1984 but it's a bit meh. He would continue with ElectroBeat for another year and then move into soundtracks (including one opposite Chaz Jankel). Whilst doing this Storrs would continue to make New Age music. His contribution to West Coast electro and hip hop is sadly forgotten

Chris "The Glove" Taylor now goes by the name Glove. He would become a producer and engineer for Death Row and Aftermath Records. His own group Po' Broke & Lonely were signed to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. He's rightly considered a West Coast hip hop pioneer

Did You Miss US?

UCONN GAMPEL PAVILION  

University of Connecticut  

Storrs, Connecticut

Okay guys, we’re back…. Did you miss us? ‘Cause we missed you! - Sasha James UCONN's PG

Whistle blows

“Listen up,” Geno Auriemma, the man with the plan—the man who built stars and legends—UCONN’s women’s basketball head coach with nearly 1,000 wins under his belt, announced. “This season, I will not be your head coach—” The older man was interrupted by gasps that filled the room.

Thirty young women stared at him, mouths agape in shock, while his staff stood behind him in support. “Now calm down. I’m not going anywhere, nor am I retiring. This year, your head coach will be one of our own…. Sasha James.” With that introduction, the brown-skinned girl walked into the stadium and stood next to her mentor, essentially a father figure to her.

“Aahh,” all the returning girls jumped up, rushing to Sasha and pulling her into a tight embrace in congratulations.

“That’s my wife!” Paige pointed to her partner with a wide smile, knowing how much this meant to Sasha.

“Okay, get off me,” Sasha laughed as she tried to push away the arms and hands. “Sit down, y’all are embarrassing me,” she added, mainly addressing her best friends. Once everyone returned to their original spots on the bleachers, her expression turned serious. “So, this year we’ll be following my coaching plan for the women’s basketball team, which was approved by the athletic director, David Benedict,” Sasha said, pointing to the white man who raised his hand in greeting, as it was the first time some players had met him. “First on the list is our Europe tour, a team bonding and learning experience.”

“Really!?”

“Shut up!” The girls jumped up in excitement, thrilled at the prospect of traveling abroad for team bonding.

“Now, we have a problem,” Sasha began, watching the players’ faces grow worried. “There are 30 of us, half of whom are red-shirts due to either prior injuries or eligibility situations. A portion of those who aren’t red-shirts don’t get time on the court because skills aren’t being picked up quick enough. With that, we’re just wasting space and resources. At the end of last season, an email was sent out stating that although the season is over, we want you all to be prepared and in top condition. Freshmen, you got the same email after confirming your commitment to the team. So, before we leave for our trip, we’ll be cutting off the dead weight. Today, you’ll be doing multiple drills and rounds, and if we believe you’re performing well, you’ll stay. If not, I’m sorry, but this will be your last day on the team, regardless of scholarship status.”

Internally, the players felt a bit of panic, but overall they believed they were the best—after all, they’d made it this far.

“You will also have to play according to my standards,” Sasha declared, making the tension rise further. “The goal this season is to win like it has been for the past five years that got us to win Big East Conference and the Final Four. I don’t like losing and I won’t start this season. I like no-score games—it brings in publicity, which brings in money for the department and us as players. I need to know I can trust you all to win without relying on our heavy hitters to play a full game with no breaks. Last season, we recycled the same five players. This year will be different. We have five  players planning to enter the draft, and we need to put them in the best position to be seen and recognized.”

“Are you guys scared?” Geno asked from beside Sasha, observing his players’ reactions. “You should be. We’re still falling behind on basic skills that should come naturally to us. We’re not rebounding properly, not making fast plays, and not thinking smart on the court. There’s no more depending on the starting five or your status to save you.”

“Everything will be tested and calculated, and by the end of the day, the staff and I will be left with the best 14 players to continue with the athletic department. That means 16 of you will be ending your college basketball careers today,” Sasha nodded, watching her teammates exchange glances, wondering who would stay and who would be shamefully dismissed. “Let’s start with suicides—15 on each side, meeting in the middle. Let’s go,” she clapped her hands and took a seat on the bleachers.

Giving them a moment to get into position, Geno blew the whistle, and the running began. “Ramirez is lagging behind; her speed hasn’t improved since her freshman year,” Sasha noted to Geno, who nodded in agreement, jotting down the player’s name.

“Ayanna’s speed seems to have improved since her injury,” Chris Dailey commented, pointing at the sophomore.

“Alright!” Geno blew the whistle. “Line up!” The players stood in a straight line as the staff observed them. The goal of this elimination round was to test speed but also endurance—who looked tired and exhausted? This would show who had taken the offseason seriously and who hadn’t.

“Ramirez, your speed hasn’t improved. Anderson, you look tired, and you’ve only ran for 10 minutes. Bennett, your speed is inconsistent. Davis, Geno feels you’re not giving us your best because you’re overconfident, thinking we can’t replace you. Lastly, Jones, Coach Dailey feels your maturity hasn’t shown any growth. I’m sorry, girls, but you’re off the team. Tomorrow, you’ll have a meeting with David to go over the next steps.” 

Sasha moved on to the next drill. “Alright, let’s do dribbling drills. I want a relay race with 12 on each side, from the left side of the court to the right. The winning side is safe from elimination.” Sasha didn’t have time to watch the eliminated players cry over their lost positions. She needed a winning team—budget-friendly, hardworking, and serious about the chance they are given.

“Flores’ handles are sloppy,” Geno shook his head in disapproval as the player lost control of the ball twice before reaching the other side of the court. “Ines is doing better than last season. Keep a close eye on her.”

“Garcia is looking down too much,” Chris Dailey noted.

“What do we think about the freshmen?” Sasha pointed out Kamorea Arnold, who seemed to have a strong grip on the ball.

“With freshmen, we don’t need perfect; we need to see that there is room for improvement and how fast they can implement corrections,” Geno advised, advising for  Sasha to not expect perfection from the freshmen class. “We want people to see that we create stars, but we also nurture growth and progression.”

“Flores, Garcia, Harris, Johnson, and King, you’re dismissed,” Geno announced, prompting one of the girls to sob and plead for another chance. “You’re seniors, but we have yet to see evidence that shows the progress you made since you’ve been in this program for three years.”

“I plan on entering the draft this year!” Harris cried out.

“You shouldn’t have entered the draft when you’ve haven’t been getting much playing time for the past two years and had no playing time in your freshman year,” Sasha said, moving on to the next test. “Freshmen, you’re safe. Please grab your uniforms, practice schedules, and packing lists.”

“Thank you!” they squealed with big smiles, running to where Chris stood at a foldable table.

“Let’s make this interesting,” Sasha continued. “Geno, Chris, David, and I will each choose a player to save.”

“Paige,” Geno nodded at the blonde, who exhaled in relief before running to the table where Chris stood.

“Nika,” David selected the Croatian player.

“Azzi,” Chris smiled at the league’s best shooter next to Sasha.

“Aaliyah,” Sasha chose.

“Thank you,” Aaliyah whispered as she passed by her friend and teammate, heading to Chris for a congratulatory hug.

“Alright, let’s do rounds. I want to see smart plays… choose your teams,” Sasha directed the remaining players, who were more nervous than ever. With a whistle, a game on each side of the court began, and the returning players played harder than ever. Some stood out for the right reasons, while others didn’t.

“Caroline is thinking smarter; she’s stepping into that leadership role we’ve been waiting for her to take,” Geno commented, watching as she quickly passed the ball to another player instead of holding it and risking a blocked shot.

“Amari’s passes are getting faster,” Sasha noted as the player did a no-look pass to her teammate.

“Aubrey’s defense is improving, especially in blocking and holding screens,” Geno added.

“Alright, line up!” Sasha blew her whistle. “Lewis, Mitchell, Nelson, Parker, Rodriguez—thank you for the time you put into this team, but you’re eliminated,” she announced, watching as the remaining players huddled together, sharing tears and congratulations. “The rest of you, let’s start making corrections faster and implementing them. You’ve been here; you know the standards. It shouldn’t take the last round of eliminations for things to start clicking. We need it to click the minute you step onto the court. Got it?”

“Yes,” they answered, nodding.

“Well, go get your stuff. We’ve got a trip to pack for,” Sasha smiled, clapping her hands.

“Don’t ever put us through that again,” Aubrey jokingly pointed at Sasha as she and Amari pproached her.

“I had to try to get rid of you somehow. Isn’t this your fifth year?” Sasha laughed, nudging the girl’s shoulder.

“Don’t get jumped!” Aubrey laughed.

“Go get your stuff before I have Geno kick you out too,” Sasha rolled her eyes, showing off her playfully sassy side.

Rep David Eastman

https://www.newsweek.com/alaska-republican-touts-benefits-children-being-abused-death-1782972

A legislature in Alaska caused outrage after questioning whether the death of child abuse victims could be "a cost savings," because it would mean they don't need "government services" later in life.

Republican David Eastman, who sits in the Alaska House of Representatives, made the comment on Monday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.

The committee was meeting to discuss how children are impacted by physical or sexual abuse, as well as witnessing domestic violence within their family home.

Lawmakers were shown a study indicating each incident of fatal child abuse costs society $1.5 million, a figure reached by assessing the impact of trauma and the child's loss of earnings over a lifetime.

However, Eastman was unimpressed, and questioned whether fatal child abuse could be economically beneficial to wider society, an argument he claimed to have heard.

Eastman said: "It can be argued, periodically, that it's actually a cost savings because that child is not going to need any of those government services that they might otherwise be entitled to receive and need based on growing up in this type of environment."

The remark horrified Trevor Storrs, president of the Alaska Children's Trust (ACT), who hit back describing the loss of a child as "unmeasurable."

Newsweek subscription offers >

Democratic Representative Cliff Groh, who used to work as a prosecutor covering child abuse allegations, said he was "disturbed" by Easterman's comment.

Representative Sarah Vance, the Republican who claims the House Judiciary Committee, said Easterman, who doesn't serve on any committees, had been at the hearing "at my invitation."

According to the Anchorage Daily News, she added: "I wished that he asked questions with a little bit more sensitivity to the listeners and how they're perceived, and I can have that conversation.

"But he's there on his own accord and only represents himself."

Vance later suggested Eastman had been trying to make an argument against abortion, which some consider to be "child abuse."

Speaking with the Anchorage Daily News via text message, Eastman said: "I was pleased to hear ACT advocating against child abuse, but a child's value comes not from future productivity, but from the fact that every child is made in the image of God."

Newsweek has contacted Eastman to ask if he stands by his original remarks.

Eastman, a former soldier, was reelected to the Alaska House of Representatives in November 2022.

A lawsuit was filed attempting unsuccessfully to bar Eastman from office due to his membership of the Oath Keepers, a right-wing paramilitary group.

A number of Oath Keepers have been convicted over their role in the storming of Congress on January 6 2021, it a bid to stop the 2020 presidential election result being certified.

Eastman was present in Washington, D.C. that day but there is no indication he took part in the disturbances, which he condemned. He later promoted a discredited conspiracy theory, suggesting the violence could have been committed by left-wing movement Antifa.

487. The Dunkin Donuts Post

There's just something that comforts me about 80s and 90s Dunkin' Donuts. Dunkin is kind of a joke around where I live, unfortunately. It's always hit or miss - mostly miss.

(source)

Maybe 'cuz Fred the Baker from the commercials isn't up at 4am making the donuts fresh anymore, who knows. He retired in 1997.

Hey look, it's a real Fred the Baker from 1993. Steve O'Brien would wake up at 2am!

Lots to unpack here:

-that Dunkin wallpaper!

-Dunkin used to be a place where you would sit at a counter and chill. Here's a video of one in Massachusetts in the early 80s.

-I wonder what Mel Gee's wife really thought about him going right back to Dunkin after dinner instead of staying with her?

-I miss chicken salad and tuna salad sandwiches at Dunkin! I only had one once or twice at the Dunkin near my house that was barely a Dunkin, but they were heavenly.

-I wanted to know if just maybe this Dunkin was still open. There are two Dunkins on Orange Avenue in Orlando. There was one that looked way too new, and then there was this one:

(2007)

Is this the one?!

Mel and his friends couldn't smoke in most Dunkin's after 1995 though.

Thankfully Mel didn't hang out at one of the stores that recorded conversations! Dunkin said heck no and shut it down.

Mel and his friends also didn't eat bagels back then either. Dunkin didn't get bagels in all its locations until around 1996! Back then they had 12 varieties! They usually only have two or three vanities at the ones near me.

I bet Mel got his girl one of these for Christmas. Notice that separate round disc. You affixed that to your dash with the included sticky stuff, and slid your cup into the disc. Life before cupholders.

Dunkin became hip to hang out at in the Philippines .

Unfortunately this Exxon franchise in Memphis flew too close to the sun too early in 1990, and their venture serving Dunkin at their stations fell flat within five years. I like Janice's uniform.

On that note, I remember the DD's in the convenience stores at the Air Force base (PX?) always had the most saddest driest munchkins.

Wait, Dunkin owned some Chili's?! According to a Boston Magazine story the investment "sent stocks into a spiral". 1

Does anybody remember the Kaluha coolatta?

I read this wrong at first, and thought that someone shaped a munchkin to look like a shaft, not someone arranged munchkins to look like a Weiner and balls. I think Sandra was just seeing stuff.

David's Dunkin Customer Complaint site even has a wikipedia page. Here is the 1998 archive.

[bumblee-stumblee]

Alaskan Republican David Eastman claiming that child abuse fatalities could, actually be a very good thing.

Experts testified before Alaska lawmakers Monday about the widespread, long-term harm child abuse has on the state — to the economy, to the workforce and to taxpayers when traumatized children and the adults they grow up to be rely on government services.

But, in questioning one of those experts, state Rep. David Eastman (R) zeroed in on a possible “benefit.”

“How would you respond to the argument that I have heard on occasion where, um, in the case where child abuse is fatal, obviously it’s not good for the child, but it’s actually a benefit to society because there aren’t needs for government services and whatnot over the whole course of that child’s life?” Eastman said.

In the days since the committee meeting, Eastman’s remarks have caused an uproar. His colleagues called them “despicable,” “atrocious” and “indefensible.” On Wednesday, the Alaska House of Representatives voted 35-1 to censure him. Rep. Andrew Gray (D), in introducing his censure motion, said Eastman had brought “great shame on this House.” The only lawmaker who voted against the motion was Eastman, who was also censured in 2017 for saying that some Alaskans try to get pregnant “so that they can get a free trip to the city” to get an abortion. He was the first Alaska House member in history to be censured, a formal admonishment that otherwise carries no repercussions.

Eastman said in a text message that he was playing devil’s advocate at Monday’s hearing, where Alaska Children’s Trust President and CEO Trevor Storrs told the Alaska House Judiciary Committee that when a child dies from abuse, it results in an estimated $1.5 million hit to Alaska, a figure that includes “productivity losses” because they don’t grow up to join the workforce.

“I asked them to respond to some of the arguments we hear regularly as pro-life legislators that there is an economic benefit to society when unwanted children are aborted since [Alaska Children’s Trust] was arguing the opposite in committee yesterday. What better organization to hear from on this issue than [the trust], as their mission is the prevention of child abuse?”

In the past, Eastman has described abortion as “the ultimate form of child abuse.”

At Wednesday’s censure hearing, Eastman defended himself and decried the push to formally reprimand him.

“The outrageous accusation that somehow I and members of my district support the extermination of people or support child abuse when I’ve staked my entire political career arguing for the opposite is not acceptable in this body,” he said.

Eastman started Monday’s exchange by asking Storrs about the $1.5 million figure and whether there were any cost savings because a dead child doesn’t need any services that would tap government coffers.

Storrs seemed taken aback by the question.

“Can you say that again?” he asked Eastman. “Did you say a benefit to society?”

“Talking dollars,” Eastman responded. “Now you’ve got a $1.5 million price tag here for victims of fatal child abuse. It gets argued periodically that it’s actually a cost savings because that child is not going to need any of those government services that they might otherwise be entitled to receive and need based on growing up in this type of environment.”

“I don’t even know how to answer that — that there’s a cost savings to the death of a child,” Storrs said. “The impact that that has on a family and us as a society when a child is lost, especially to child abuse and neglect, is unmeasurable, and it’s hugely tragic.”

About 1½ minutes later, another member of the judiciary committee, Rep. Cliff Groh (D), said he was “disturbed” by Eastman’s questions. “As someone who’s prosecuted child abuse cases, it was very sad and terrible,” Groh said at the hearing.

“Rep. Eastman’s comments … and his line of questioning were despicable, over the line, and I was stunned when I heard them,” he told The Washington Post on Wednesday.

At Monday’s hearing, Gray, the Democratic lawmaker who would motion to censure Eastman two days later, chimed in as the proceedings drew to a close. As Eastman sat just inches to his right, Gray told the committee he’d had “an intense reaction” to his colleague’s comments.

Four years earlier, Gray and his husband had adopted their son, who had been in foster care and suffered serious trauma. Now, his fellow representative, perhaps unintentionally, was suggesting the state might save money if children like his died.

“My child is the greatest joy I’ve ever had,” Gray said. “There is no price tag on that.”

From his website:

But i guess is abortion could be viewed as cost savings he might change his tune.

UCONN MATT WOOD SELECTED IN NHL DRAFT

By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - On the first day of the NHL draft, the Nashville Predators selected UConn's Matt Wood at number 15. Wood slipped down a bit further than he was expected to be selected partly because Anaheim, picking at number two, and the Arizona Coyotes at number six, made surprise choices that gave some other teams an opening to select differently than they had wanted or planned to. Speaking to ESPN's Emily Kaplan right afterward, Wood was very complimentary of his UCONN coaches led by Mike Cavanaugh. "(I was) really happy to be there and play for my coaches and they helped me to get ready for this." Wood was the fifth UCONN player since joining Hockey East to be drafted. He wore #71 for his idol Evgeni Malkin. In speaking to Kaplan, incoming Nashville GM Barry Trotz, who's replacing the retiring David Poile, was succinct in his initial evaluation, "Short term, we'll let him develop (back at UCONN). We look at the profile; he's a big body that can score. He's got a long way to go. If you wanna go far in the playoffs, you gotta score. We hope he'll exhibit (his scoring) and he checks all the boxes." Nashville has two former Huskies under their umbrella, Czechs Jachym Kondelik, the Huskies all time-assist leader, and goalie Tomas Vomacka, who they both drafted and played in the minors with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) and the Florida Everblades (ECHL), respectively. Wood played very solidly as a 17-year-old freshman. He led the Huskies in scoring with 34 points in 35 games. Wood was superb in the IIHF U-18 bronze medal game for Canada with the game-tying goal in the last minute with the goalie pulled and made a beautiful feathered short pass to Macklin Celebrini for the game-winner in OT 4-3 win over Slovakia. Wood had a three-point performance, garnering a plus-12 and 13 points in just seven games in the tournament. He will return to Storrs next season, be among the top players in Hockey East, and is WJC eligible for Canada. He turned down an offer from the WHL Regina Pats, who drafted him and ex-Pack championship head coach, the current Regina head coach and VP of Hockey Operations John Paddock, to play there and with the first overall selection, Connor Bedard. Instead, Wood chose to come to UCONN and chart his course. At 6'4, he surpassed Tage Thompson as the highest-drafted Husky ever. A total of 10 Huskies have been drafted in the short Hockey East history of the program. RANGERS SELECTIONS The Rangers drafted 23rd overall and selected were able to have a strong player fall to them in Gabriel (Gabe) Perreault. He has lots of offensive upside potential and is heading to Boston College (HE) with linemates Will Smith (San Jose) and Ryan Leonard (Washington). They were together on the USNDTP (USHL) last fall. All three will face Wood at the XL Center when BC comes to play UConn at the XL Center in a marquee matchup. Perreault broke the team record for scoring held by Auston Matthews with 159 points. "It's cool because he's one of the guys I look up to and one of those guys to look up above you," said Perreault to ESPN. Hockey is a big part of the Perreault family. His sister Liliane just completed her collegiate career at Mercyhurst (Erie, PA) (AHA), and his brother Jacon plays with San Diego. His father, Yanic Perreault, is the skills development coach in Chicago and, for eight consecutive seasons, held the NHL's best faceoff percentage at an average of 62.89%. He played 859 games with three tours in Toronto, LA, Nashville, and his hometown Montreal. NOTES: UCONN got another commit for next season in New Hampshire native LW Ben Muthersbaugh, who played for the NJ Titans (NAHL) last year after spending time previously at Tilton School (NHPREP). Ex-Sound Tiger Paul Flache takes a second stab as an assistant coach with the Flint Firebirds (OHL) after being with Atlanta (USPHL Premier) for the last three years. Joining him is a former Ranger from the early-to-mid 1980s and two-time Stanley Cup winner in Edmonton making his North American return is Reijo Ruotsalainen. The 63-year-old Ruotsalainen had been coaching in Europe, though not over the last three years. His previous coaching assignment was with, Kiekko-Vantaa (Finland-Mestis) as an assistant coach. While he had a successful NHL career of 443 games and 344 points and was voted the best defenseman in the 1980 WJC (his third) tourney, had he been playing hockey today, he would rival Erik Carlsson of the San Jose Sharks in the skill game from the blueline in this more free-wheeling era of hockey. After leaving the NHL, he played in three World Championships, one Olympic tournament for Finland, and another 402 games in Europe (Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland). He hasn't been to North America since 2001 as an assistant coach with the long-defunct New Orleans Brass (ECHL), featured one-time Rangers head coach Ted Sator at the helm, and had former New Haven Senator Jeff Lazaro as a player. Ross Colton (Taft Prep), who scored the game-winning Cup-clinching goal three years ago for the Tampa Bay Lightning, was traded to the Colorado Avalanche. Connor Doherty (Sacred Heart University) re-signs with the Maine Mariners (ECHL). After four years in Denmark and nine in Europe, Mike Little of Enfield, the SonderyskE team captain last season, has left the team. Is this the end of the road for the 35-year-old, or is he likely to play a few more years in a new destination? Derek Barach (Salisbury School) heads from Ässät Pori (Finland-FEL) and takes the risky proposition and signs with Vityaz Moscow (Russia-KHL) to continue his European-only career. The newest college hockey program was announced at the Bridgestone Arena in Tennessee, the site of the NHL Draft. It will be the first at a historically black college and university (HBCU). The club will be Tennessee State and play at the ACHA club hockey division level. The coaching staff is yet to be determined. The project was an all-in process as the NHL, NHLPLA, and College Hockey Inc. were all involved. The program will start in the 2024-25 season with a look toward going varsity Division-1 level down the road, and it will be the first hockey at an HCBU, hopefully leading to more significant participation of Blacks, Latinos, and other ethnic groups in the sport of hockey in the US and around the world. The college hockey season is over by nearly three months activity continues as Quinnipiac University stands at the mountaintop. UCONN HOCKEY HOME Read the full article
