“#wrote a college entrance essay about this once” re: rpf research excuse me WHAT can you elaborate please 😭 (i say as someone who has also written some unhinged essays)

okay in my defense i didn't actually talk about rpf explicitly, but i did write about how one of the big draws of hockey for me was all the minute details and research rabbitholes you could get absorbed in. it's funny to look back on now because i think my understanding of hockey has come a long way, and also i'm kind of a completely different person than i was, lol. i'll put a few sections under the cut just for fun :3

But in late November of my ---- year, I turned on the television to watch a hockey game. It was the Flames and the Senators -- not exactly a nail-biter. I knew what to expect. I’d been to a college hockey game once at the University of North Dakota, and I’d been casually interested. But I certainly didn’t count on the Ottawa Senators setting the starting point of a great epoch of my life. The thing about hockey is that, leaving aside everything else about the sport -- statistics, personality, fanaticism, gameplay -- hockey is fun to watch. It’s fast-paced but easy to follow. All you have to do is keep track of the puck. Stoppages aren’t too common, but if they do happen, it’s probably because a penalty has been called, or because of a scrum, which both lead to more interesting circumstances. In short, hockey held my interest, and outpaced my notoriously short attention span. At least, that was how it started.

apparently i was rly trying to keep that harvard admissions officer on their toes lmao

Hockey culture is an unmitigated disaster. Awash with misogyny, masculine posturing, glorification of violence, and a thriving disrespect for the civil rights of minorities, it’s easy to brush hockey off as another antiquated hold-out of gladiatorial sports. Fans live and die for the blood of it. It’s especially easy to do so as a queer woman, someone who is definitely unwelcome in central hockey circles. It took me about ten minutes to understand that hockey Twitter, at least, was not worth a second of my time. But I hadn’t gotten as far as making it through an entire Senators game just to give up now. And finding other avenues of building community was easier than I thought. The Internet, it turns out, is shockingly versatile. Just as white male hockey fans all tend to congregate in the loud, wide-open spaces of fandom, the rest of us found areas out of view of the mainstream gaze. Within Tumblr tags, Discord groups, and even fanfiction archive forums, the women, hockey fans of color, and even us queers began to find each other. It was easier, then, to know where to start. In short order, hockey turned from something I watched as stress relief after a long school day to something I knew about. The people I talked to were knowledgeable, and the research I did on my own -- as was my wont -- helped substantiate. First it was about the teams, and then, when I had satisfied my knowledge there, the players. The politics. The rules, the statistics, the prospects. The slow stop-start of change initiatives like the Hockey Diversity Alliance. It turns out that hockey is an unquellable fount of things to learn, and it quickly became a way to collect things to know.

it's interesting to look back and see which things i felt it was important to highlight, especially given all the things that have happened in recent years with hockey culture. also please disregard all the identity flashing, i WAS trying to get into college, after all.

i go on to talk a bit about the demographic layout of the nhl & the draw of european leagues, plus why i started learning russian (to read kirill's insta posts), but that's the rpf-related section. if i were to rewrite this essay today it would be a completely different look at the world of hockey and its current landscape, but i'm giving myself some grace for having committed the crime of being 18 and not very smart.

Jason Spezza has become Maple Leafs’ (not so) secret weapon in the front office

By Jonas Siegel | Feb 9, 2023 | The Athletic

Even as a player, Jason Spezza was so dialled into the nitty-gritty of the NHL (and leagues across the globe for that matter) that he was once dubbed “Bob McKenzie” by teammates. He’s always been the ultimate hockey nerd that way.

Now, as the special assistant to GM Kyle Dubas, Spezza is bringing all that wisdom to the Maple Leafs front office — which could be particularly useful ahead of the March 3 trade deadline.

“I think it’s added a different dimension and element to (the front office) that we previously didn’t have,” Dubas told The Athletic.

A different way of thinking, the Leafs GM said.

It’s not often that a player, one with borderline Hall of Fame credentials at that, steps right off the ice and into the front office as Spezza did shortly after announcing his retirement last May.

Spezza registered two shots and three hits in eight minutes for the Leafs in Game 7 against the Lightning. Less than two months later, he was sitting with Dubas and the rest of the front office at the Leafs draft table in Montreal, injecting knowledge amassed over two decades in the league, including three seasons with the Leafs when he was something like a player, coach and mentor all baked into one.

“It’s almost like a cheat code,” said Jordie Benn, a current Leaf and former teammate of Spezza’s with the Dallas Stars. “He benefits because he gets to stay in the game, but then the Toronto Maple Leafs are gonna benefit because he knows what he’s talking about.”

Spezza watches the Leafs practice right next to Dubas, team president Brendan Shanahan and assistant GM Brandon Pridham, among others in the management team. He sits in the management box at games, takes part in scouting meetings, and even attended the World Junior Championship with Dubas in Halifax.

“He adds a different level of understanding to it that I just don’t have, having not played,” Dubas said.

The Leafs had former players in their front office before Spezza moved into the management suite, including a Hall of Famer and multiple Stanley Cup winner in Shanahan. Spezza, however, has bridged a gap, bringing sensibilities from both the old and new school.

Spezza made his NHL debut as a 19-year-old for the Ottawa Senators when Shanahan was still pumping out 30 goals for the Detroit Red Wings. His final days in the league, about nine months ago, came alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, two players born in 1997.

All of which gives him perspective from two pretty distinct eras.

“He’s planted right in the middle,” Dubas said. “And just because of who he is as a person and how he thinks, he has a very unique look at all that.”

A “deep thinker” who’s always been interested in how the game “runs and operates,” Spezza has provided “perspective on more of the psychological part of managing the players and the team and the coaches, and the relationships between them all,” Dubas said.

Spezza seemed to have unique relationships with just about every teammate in his Leaf years — even the prospects. Which means he has unique insight into how the team operates, from how stars like Matthews and Marner think and feel, to the way head coach Sheldon Keefe’s message gets through, to what the group has lacked in crucial moments.

“And (he) has that feel for the game,” said Mark Giordano, another former teammate with the Leafs and longtime opponent. “(He) has a feel for what players are thinking. How players are thinking in certain situations.”

“So to have that level of insight is valuable,” Dubas said. “What makes guys tick? How do you have to coach them? How do you have to manage them? What can you say or not say to them to get the most out of them? He can tell without talking to them — how do they feel on this day, that day, and so on. It’s been a huge value on that front.”

Spezza also knows the league in great detail as someone who played a long time and tracked the minutiae (the trades, the signings, the day-to-day trends of players and teams) as closely as any player possibly could.

“He knows everybody,” Benn said. “He knows the name, date of birth, when they got drafted. I think now, because he’s not playing, he has more time to watch more hockey. He definitely has an eye for the game that not everybody has.”

And that makes him particularly valuable at this time of year, ahead of the trade deadline.

Spezza will know not just the name, date of birth and draft year of opposing players, but intangible qualities about them that only a peer would know. He’s competed for net-front position with Blue Jackets defenceman Vladislav Gavrikov in a playoff series and would know better than just anyone else in the Leafs front office whether Ryan O’Reilly has enough left to greatly impact a postseason run.

“He just played against them,” Dubas said, referring to players on other teams. “So I can have my thoughts from watching upstairs, but he’s played against these guys for a long time. And so he knows what they’re like as competitors, he knows what they’re like as people. You have your view when you sit upstairs and watch, or when you watch on video, but he’s out there in the actual battle.”

Added Dubas: “The fringe players on teams that we don’t play against a lot or we don’t know a lot, he has a deep understanding of all that. It’s a huge value.”

Among the many things about Spezza that have impressed Dubas so far is his willingness to challenge even his own assumptions about other players. “He wants to back it up by putting in the work, by watching live, watching film of the guys,” Dubas noted, “to make sure that what his impression (is), or what his mind says about them, is accurate.”

Spezza has made Dubas reconsider some things about the way he goes about his job. Like, the way he files scouting reports, for instance. Dubas has done it his own particular way since he was scouting for the Soo Greyhounds as a teenager.

Queries from Spezza on how and why he does it that way have “forced me to have to rethink things that I’ve taken for granted for decades, that I’ve been working and doing this each day. And so that’s helped me to improve my process as well, like challenge myself to ‘why do I think that?’ and ‘what is it based on?’ Because I’m trying to teach him how to do it, and when you really have to teach someone how to do it, I think you learn more about it.”

Spezza remains a presence in the Leafs’ dressing room. He recently filled Morgan Rielly in on Joseph Woll’s exploits with the Marlies and had full scouting reports from the world juniors for Benn to digest. As Benn explained it, “He was just rattling off stats about (prospects) — where they play, what their abilities are, their strengths, their weaknesses. ‘He has the potential to pan out.’ He got really in depth with it.”

They don’t call him a hockey nerd for nothing.

“Is it an obsession or is it just love of the game? I just think he’s always loved the game,” Benn said. “He’s always wanted to be on the ice, and this is a great way for him to stay in the game.”

The Leafs, as Dubas noted, tried to find a similar role for Ron Hainsey, another former Leaf and longtime NHLer, during the 2020-21 season only to see him leave soon after for a more permanent position with the NHLPA. In other words, this is a presence and perspective they’ve wanted to incorporate into their front office previously.

Spezza is using this season with the Leafs to determine what path — management? coaching? player development? — he would like to take in his post-playing career. He and Dubas plan to re-evaluate after the season.

“I think he would make an unbelievable GM someday,” Benn said.

Dubas raved about Spezza’s work ethic from the day last spring when the two of them discussed the end of his playing career — and crucially, what came next. And that’s not a given, Dubas said. “We’ve had guys that have retired and got into it with us and then they get into it and they find, ‘This is too much, I just finished playing, I need to spend time with my family.’ He’s been all in with everything. And it’s been impressive.”

'The biggest rivalry': Bedard, Canada set for world junior semifinal against U.S.

Brandt Clarke was a month short of his sixth birthday.

The moment, however, remains etched in his memory.

John Tavares scored a dramatic hat trick for Canada against the United States in a wild 7-4 victory on New Year's Eve at the 2009 world junior hockey championship in Ottawa.

Clarke and his family were in the building -- hanging off every shot, save and hit from the stands.

"The electricity in the building," he said of what still resonates some 14 years later. "The red jerseys all the way to the top ... 20,000 people, winning the game against the Americans.

"It's unmatchable."

With another mouth-watering instalment of the bitter rivalry set for Wednesday thanks to Connor Bedard's overtime heroics for Canada in the quarterfinals, Clarke is confident his teammate and the country's best player -- just like Tavares that frigid night in the nation's capital -- will rise to the occasion.

"I don't expect him to take any steps back," the Los Angeles Kings defenceman said following Tuesday's brief practice. "All I've seen so far is him take steps forward. Even when it's hard to imagine him still being able to take steps forward, he's done it.

"I don't think that'll change."

Bedard has not only changed a couple lines in record books at the men's under-20 tournament.

He's torn it to shreds.

The presumptive first pick at the 2023 NHL draft set five national or tournament marks early in Monday's triumph against Slovakia before a breathtaking solo effort in OT nearly blew the roof off a frothing Scotiabank Centre.

Bedard has registered the most goals (16) and points (34) all-time by a Canadian at the tournament. He's also set the national record for points (21) and assists (13) at a single event, and has the most points ever by a player under age 18 from any country.

But for all the accolades, the 17-year-old North Vancouver, B.C., native has made a habit of quickly turning the page.

His headline-grabbing performance in the quarterfinals was no different.

"That's really incredible for him to be able shut out or ignore all the media and how much attention he's getting," Canadian goaltender Thomas Milic said. "He's a team-first guy. A quote I like is, 'A rising tide lifts all boats.' Us having team success is contributing to him and everyone else."

"He doesn't sit there and dwell on the biggest goal of the tournament," Canadian head coach Dennis Williams added of Bedard, who didn't speak to reporters Tuesday. "You wouldn't have known that after the game -- his focus was already on to the next challenge."

That comes Wednesday in the latest clash of the sport's North American powers.

"Every kid's dream," said U.S. forward and Winnipeg Jets prospect Rutger McGroarty. "Playing in a barn like this against your rival, it'll be a fun one.

"It just gets us juiced up to see that atmosphere, see how crazy it's going to be."

Whether it's the Olympics, world juniors, world championships or any other level, extra motivation isn't necessary when the countries hit the ice.

"Don't think we need to go in as coaches and get the room going," Williams said. "If anything, we've got to calm them down."

Tavares, Sidney Crosby, Joe Sakic, Haley Wickenheiser, Marie-Philip Poulin and many others have risen to the occasion in similar moments.

This Canadian iteration is hoping for the same.

"All of us dreamed of this as kids," said winger Brennan Othmann. "This is the game, this is the moment."

"The biggest rivalry," added forward and Ottawa Senators prospect Zach Ostapchuk. "And for us, personally, it's, big. It'll be really exciting."

For all the points Bedard has put up, the Americans are also dangerous, especially the top line of Logan Cooley, Jimmy Snuggerud and Cutter Gauthier, who sit second, third and fifth in tournament scoring.

"Skilled guys," said Canadian centre Logan Stankoven, who plays alongside Bedard and is No. 4 in the points race. "They strike fast and quick."

Taking the body will be a big part of Canada's mindset against the Americans, including trying to make life difficult for their undersized defence corps.

"They don't like the physical play," Clarke said.

For all the drama Monday, one area where the Canadians will look to improve is faceoffs after a success rate of just 45 per cent.

"We're chasing the game too much there," Williams said. "We were going to position before possession."

Canada lost to the U.S. in the final of the 2021 tournament in the COVID-19 bubble in Edmonton in the countries' last meeting at the world juniors.

"Super special," Milic said. "These are games I loved watching growing up. We're pretty fortunate to be able to be in this position to play in one and really have a big battle for our country."

Canada got to this point thanks to another spectacular performance from Bedard, who dropped to one knee for his own version of the "heartbreaker" celebration made famous by U.S. great Patrick Kane after scoring the winner against the Slovaks.

"That was pretty cool," Clarke said. "Especially in a big setting like that. The whole building's going crazy, the whole building's chanting 'M-V-P' for him.

"That's what he's been doing all tournament -- just breaking hearts."

Bedard and Canada will look to do the same against the Americans.

NHL EDITION - REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK

By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - Salary cap restrictions forced The New York Rangers to be very frugal during the NHL Free Agency market. Only time will tell if they spent wisely or foolishly. It was a tornado-like free agency for the rest of the NHL, where billions of dollars were exchanged even in a tight salary cap market. There are still a few moves left to be made for the Hartford Wolf Pack for their upcoming late September training camp. The best two words to describe the coming 2023-24 Wolf Pack campaign would be "Younger" and "Change." Turner Elson is expected back for the second year of his deal, but one contract is still outstanding. The team believes that it will be signed shortly. That is the contract of Tanner Fritz. He is said to be close to signing it. He needs to secure and finalize medical care for his son. His return is, however, open-ended since it's still not signed. In September, the team saw a bevy of new players coming through the shipping and receiving doors at the XL Center. Alex Belizle (Montreal/Laval), Connor Mackay (Calgary/Arizona), Mac Holwell (Toronto AHL/NHL), and Nikolas Brouillard (San Diego) on paper will be here. It is possible that Riley Nash (Charlotte) could be headed to Hartford if he doesn't make the team in New York. Departed from Hart City are Tim Gettinger (Detroit/Grand Rapids), Ryan Carpenter (San Jose AHL/NHL), Will Lockwood (Florida/Charlotte), and Wyatt Kalynuk (St. Louis/Springfield). NOTES: The Wolf Pack has released five secured playing dates without a full schedule. There are no times or opponents named yet. The guaranteed dates are October 20th, November 25th, January 13th, February 10th, February 16th, and March 1st. A full schedule will likely be released during or following the AHL Board of Governors' (BOG) annual meeting in mid-July. The Chicago Wolves are operating as an independent team. "GM Wendell Young is free to negotiate with anybody, so I think it's likely and won't be surprised if a player or two is sent to them by an NHL team and not their AHL team. If and when that happens, there will be some bruised feelings," said a long-time industry source. Since they're out of Chicago, there is no word on where the Carolina Hurricanes will place their prospects next year. That is likely to be high on the AHL BOG agenda. One thing to keep a long-term eye on is what the Ottawa Senators, under the new ownership of Michael Andulauer, will do with the Belleville Senators. Howlings was told it's a three-step process in Ottawa. Step 1 is to secure ownership in Ottawa (Check)—step 2. Secure the land, building the new 21st-Century downtown arena, the Canadian national capital Step 3. Turn to secure a closer farm team relationship. They're looking at the possibility of Gatineau or another Western Quebec location to extend their brand. The cap future our source remains bullish on. "Many are saying a three-or-four million bump next year. I'm more conservative, we have an unknown future economically. I think two million seems more likely." The never-ending drama-fest in Arizona is likely to continue. "Gary Bettman has shown no appetite for relocation, so I think in the near future they will remain there. To be honest, there are two issues; one, the Coyotes need a better building and likely better ownership. Realistically, look, the NHL and the league ownership don't want to jeopardize future expansion fees, so they will continue to accept Arizona as is." One-time Wolf Pack and former Ranger forward Julien Gauthier has left Ottawa, where he was traded to, after starting the season in Hartford. He signed a free agent deal with the New York Islanders for a two-year, one-way money deal for $775K/ Year 1/$800K Year 2. Ex-Pack Adam Cracknell moves from Tucson to Henderson. Joining him is ex-Pack Mason Geersten on a one-way deal at $775K. Chase Priskie (Quinnipiac) moves from San Diego to Calder Cup champion Hershey Bears. Goalie Strauss Mann (Greenwich/Brunswick School) heads from San Jose (AHL) to Laval next season. Ex-Sound Tiger Cole Coskey re-signs with the Kansas City Mavericks (ECHL). Former UCONN Husky (HE) Ben Freeman signs another deal with Greenville (ECHL). The Bridgeport Islanders signed three players. Two of them are from last year, Cole Bardreau and Jeff Kubiak. The third is Joey Cipollone (Loomis Chaffe) from the national champion Quinnipiac University Bobcats, making 25 ECACHL players to have signed pro deals. Cipollone's cousin Anthony, a sophomore, returns to Quinnipiac and is also a Loomis Chaffe-Windsor grad. The number of signees by conference: Hockey East-37, NCHC-36, the CCHA-31, the Big 10 has 30, the AHA-20, Division I Independents-13, Division III-32, and Europe bound Division I and III-54. Undergrads that left early 38, going to Canadian colleges four, and back to US juniors two, and nobody has left for Canadian major junior yet. The transfers at the grad level are 44, and at undergrad, in-school transfers are 59. The total number of players signing pro deals in North America and Europe across the board are at Division I and III; 284. The son of new Rangers Head Coach Peter Laviolette, III, the namesake of Peter Jr., signs a one-year deal with the Wheeling Nailers (ECHL), where his father started his coaching career in 1997. Jarrod Gourley, the former UCONN defenseman, goes from Utica/Adirondack (ECHL) and heads home to Alberta after signing with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). Graham McPhee, the son of one-time New Haven Nighthawk/Ranger and current President of the Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights, George McPhee, signs a new deal with the Belleville Senators (AHL). Ex-Sound Tiger Mason Jobst re-signs with Rochester. The former UCONN captain, Miles Gendron, signs with the Belfast Giants (Northern Ireland-EIHL). Another former teammate, UCONN forward Carter Turnbull, signs with HC Banska Bystrica (Slovakia-SLEL). Ex-CT Whale Christian Thomas signs a new deal with HC Bolzano (Austria-IceHL). Ex-Pack Nick Merkley re-signs with Dynamo Minsk (Belarus-KHL). Martin Kaut leaves San Jose for HC Dynamo Pardubice (Czechia (Czech Republic)-CEL). As expected, Zach Fucale, the former #1 draft pick of Montreal and a Calder Cup champion Hershey Bears member, joins Vitali Kravtsov with Traktor Chelyabinsk (Russia-KHL). He makes 42 AHL players, with 23 of 32 AHL teams affected by players signing in Europe. Leon Gawanke's transfer back home to Germany was canceled as he signed a new deal with Winnipeg/Manitoba. With 22 signees, Sweden is far ahead of the countries players are heading to. The Arizona State Sun Devils have shed their independent label. Starting next season, the school has chosen to become the ninth member of the NCHC conference. Surprisingly, there weren't a part of a Western expansion, as part of a necessary Western presence that is required with the number of players in the western part of the US-the largest growth area is in Texas, Arizona, and Southern California. Clarkson announces alcohol will be sold at games on campus this fall. Now that they have broken the barrier, colleges, and beer companies will make a significant money grab for beer sales and sponsorship deals. James Shannon (Greenwich/Brunswick School) commits to Quinnipiac University. He played last year with Coquitlam (BCHL) and Sloan Farmer (Old Greenwich/Brunswick School). He uncommitted collegiately and departed for the Whitecourt Wolverines (AJHL). Jake Kloss (Canterbury Scool-New Milford) migrates to Wilkes Barre/Scranton (NCDC). Team dismantlement has even reached the high school level. The Taft (Watertown) Rhinos, the New England School champion, loses its star goalie Rudy Guimond, drafted by Detroit in the sixth round (169th overall) in last month's NHL draft. He heads to Cedar Rapids (USHL) next year, then goes to Yale (ECACHL) the following year. J.J. Lemieux goes to the Rochester Jr. Americans (NAHL). Zave Greene moves on to Wesleyan University (NESCAC) in Middletown. Joining Greene are Hayden Haynes (Old Greenwich) and Henry Metz, both of Salisbury School. Liam Kilfoil, despite a high pick in the QMJHL Draft (3rd overall by Halifax), heads to Dubuque (USHL) next year, collegiately still uncommitted. Peter Unger departs Frederick Gunn School for the Northern Cyclones (NCDC) along with 6'7" Will Reardon (Loomis Chaffe), who is a commit to the Holy Cross Crusaders (AHA) in 24-25. Then, teammates Dylan Thorn and Kyle Smyth both leave for the Grand Prairie Storm (AJHL). Former player Mike Murtagh leaves Nanaimo (BCHL) and is expected to attend UCONN (HE) in the fall. He was drafted this year by Minnesota (NAHL) and last year by Sioux City (USHL). Former Loomis Chaffe player Ryan Staple, who switched prep schools to St. George's Prep (RIPREP) last year, heads to Yale next year. Matt Hanscom departs Westminster Prep (Simsbury) for the Blackfalds Bulldogs (AJHL), coached by ex-Pack Ryan Tobler. He'll hook up at RPI (ECACHL) with current teammate Ryan Shaw 2024-25.
