quote:

As goalie Jonah Imoo is making his first pro start it will be his father Dusty, the Reign�s goalie coach, who will serve as his backup.

�This could set some kind of hockey history,� Reign coach Mike Stothers said following morning skate ahead of tonight�s 6 p.m. game against visiting San Jose. �The son will be backed up by his dad. We�ll have two Imoos on the roster, both on PTOs. � I guess it�s good to have your goalie coach that close, right? He�s on the bench.�

The reason the Reign are in this predicament is their starting Jack Campbell will be going to Los Angeles to serve as the Kings� backup after a morning skate injury sustained by Jeff Zatkoff ahead of their game against Vancouver. The Reign�s expected No. 1 going into the season before Campbell was Peter Budaj, and he�s with the Kings due to an injury to Jonathan Quick. Just last weekend the Reign had to bring on Jonah Imoo to back up in San Diego after Budaj was recalled. And so the cycle goes and here we are in the rarest of circumstances.

�It is amazing a goalie situation has come up again this early in the season,� Stothers said. �Jonah is going to get his first American Hockey League start. He�s worked hard for the opportunity. It certainly hasn�t come easy to him. It�s not because his dad�s the goalie coach of our team. He�s legitimately put in the time and deserves an opportunity. He�ll go in. It�s a little bit unexpected. We weren�t counting on this happening but maybe it�s better for him. He doesn�t have that much time to think about it. Just go in and play. We�ll see how it goes.�

apparently dusty imoo was the starting goalie for japan at the nagano olympics for what thats worth

nwhls second season isnt going so well

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nwhl-cuts-player-salaries-half-save-season/

quote:

The National Women�s Hockey League is slashing its player salaries in half as a cost-cutting measure meant to allow the league to keep operating in its second season.

Commissioner Dani Rylan told reporters about the cuts on Friday, one day after informing team executives and players. Rylan did not specify the amount of the cuts but said they are necessary to save the league.

A person with direct knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press the cuts essentially cuts the league�s payroll in half, representing about $440,000 in savings. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Rylan declined to disclose any details regarding the size of the cuts.

Ryan says the cuts do not apply to league employees and team employees who are not players.

Rylan blamed part of the cash-flow crunch on declining attendance a month into the season.

New York Riveters defenceman Ashley Johnson called it "not a good day," and said players were shocked upon being informed of the need for pay cuts.

Last year, the NWHL became North America's first women's hockey league to pay players a salary ranging from $10,000 to $26,000.

For $440 000? That the NHL is stepping in here is embarrassing.

i assume you mean isn't stepping in? probably because if they did the cwhl would get mad as hell considering their players don't get paid at all

the fact that they aren't supporting either of them at all is embarrassing in its own right

marlies goalie situation is interesting

2005 world junior goalie hero jeff glass played in his first north american pro start after 7 khl years

sparks on the other hand http://www.tsn.ca/sparks-suspended-indefinitely-by-leafs-1.617534

quote:

According to users in a Facebook goalie group for which Sparks is an administrator, members of the forum were mocking a disabled person and Sparks came to that person�s defence by asking one of those in the forum where he lived and writing, �I want to go to open hockey with you, drag you out to center ice and beat you into a [expletive] pulp until you can�t run that [expletive] little mouth of yours. God, you sound like a 13-year-old girl.�

When another member reprimanded Sparks for insulting women, he apologized and continued, �Girls don�t even whine as much as this guy does.�

Keefe said there is no timetable for the goalie�s return. His status will be reevaluated by the team in the next week. Sparks could not be reached for comment.
