Dan Dunleavy, is currently the play by play voice for the Buffalo Sabres on MSG Western New York and WGR 550 radio in Buffalo. From 2016 until 2022, Dunleavy rotated with Hall of Fame announcer Rick Jeanneret, who was to retire after the 2016–17 season. Rick changed his mind about retiring despite the agreement he and the Sabres signed with Dunleavy, leaving Dunleavy to work on a year by year time table with the hope of eventually taking over as was offered by the NHL franchise. To partially compensate, Dunleavy's role was also expanded to include filling in as studio host for Brian Duff when not substituting for Jeanneret. Dan was about to call his third season of Toronto Maple Leaf radio play by play on The FAN590 and TSN1050 in the 2013-14 NHL season, when Buffalo approached him about taking over for Jeanneret. Dunleavy accepted, mainly because of his concerns about being split between the two Toronto stations, each owned by two of Canada's biggest multimedia conglomerates (Bell Media and Rogers Communications), both of whom also held ownership stakes in the Leafs.] The Sabres signed Dunleavy to a five-year contract that expires in 2018; Dunleavy has turned down other offers during his time with Buffalo and remains in negotiations for a contract extension. On May 9, 2021, unsure of whether or not he would return to the Sabres, he posted a potential farewell message in the event that he did not renew his contract. The Sabres publicly stated that they were interested in renewing Dunleavy's agreement. Since the last update, Dan has renewed once again as the voice of the Buffalo Sabres indefinitely. From December 2004 through January 2011, Dan called the World Junior Hockey Championships on The FAN Radio Network, alongside Jack Miller. That run included five straight gold medal wins for Canada, two gold medal wins for the United States and one gold medal win for Russia. In 2008, Dunleavy called the World Hockey Championships on the Fan Radio Network, working alongside former NHL'er Mark Osborne. The tournament was held between Halifax and Quebec City. Russia won gold, while Canada was the runner up. In 2010, Dunleavy called his first NHL game for the Buffalo Sabres who were playing in Anaheim, substituting for the vacationing Rick Jeanneret; Dunleavy called his first NHL TV game for The Sabres on MSG TV in Ottawa in January 2011 and becoming a permanent rotating announcer in 2013. In 2010, Dunleavy called his first Olympic hockey games, including the men's bronze medal game and the women's gold medal game at Canada Hockey Place (GM Place) in Vancouver. Dunleavy was the host for every Team Canada game on the FAN radio Network. Dan has also called Canadian Hockey League, American Hockey League, and National Lacrosse League games on Rogers Sportsnet. Dunleavy was the radio play by play voice for the Toronto Rock from 2000 to 2008. In 2009 Dan also served as their public address announcer during their home games. #dandunleavy #buffalosabres #playbyplayannouncer #chrispomay #livewithcdp #barrycullenchevrolet #wellingtonbrewery https://beacons.ai/chrisdpomay https://www.cameo.com/chrispomay Want to create live streams like this?

Send us a textFormer NHL player and Stanley Cup champion Jamal Mayers joins us for a fascinating journey through the ice, as we explore what it takes to reach your potential in hockey. We reminisce about our own encounters on the rink, including that unforgettable NHL game between Toronto and LA, and delve into Jamal's current adventures coaching his son's impressively ranked youth team. With fellow ex-NHLers by his side as assistant coaches, Jamal offers a treasure trove of insights into the joys and challenges of mentoring young players, stressing the importance of consistency and foundational skills.Our conversation shifts to the shifting landscape of junior and college hockey, where we dissect the recent NCAA policy change that allows Canadian Hockey League players to accept scholarships. This significant shift could rewrite the North American hockey playbook, with college teams now favoring older freshmen. We examine how these changes might influence leagues like the WHL and BCJ, and the newfound freedom players have in crafting their developmental paths, adding a new layer of complexity to the sport's future.Finally, we dive into the realm of youth hockey tournaments and coaching philosophies. The upcoming UMH 68 tournament promises an exciting platform for young players to shine, and we share personal coaching experiences that emphasize accountability, effort, and honest feedback. By weaving in anecdotes from my own journey coaching my son's team, we explore the delicate balance of being both a parent and a coach, and the importance of fostering a culture where young athletes can own their journey, ultimately crafting a holistic understanding of hockey development.

November 10, 2023 ~ Craig Goslin, Managing Partner of the Saginaw Spirit and Head of the Host Committee for the Canadian Hockey League's 2024 Memorial Cup talks with Tom Jordan and Kevin Dietz about the team, how you can get tickets to a game and about the upcoming Memorial Cup.
Sie sind nur eine gute Viertelstunde Autofahrt voneinander aufgewachsen: David Reinbacher in Lustenau, Vinzenz Rohrer in Rankweil. Sie spielten mit ihren Jugendclubs Lustenau und Feldkirch bereits gegen Schweizer Teams, im zarten Alter von 12 Jahren wechselten beide in Nachwuchsorganisationen im Nachbarland: Rohrer zum ZSC, Reinbacher zu Kloten.Viele junge Eishockeyspieler aus Vorarlberg landen so in der Schweiz und spielen später auch in der National- oder Swiss League – auch, weil sie dank Schweizer Lizenz das Ausländerkontingent nicht belasten. Die Wege von Rohrer und Reinbacher gingen aber noch weiter: Rohrer wurde 2022, Reinbacher ein Jahr später von den Montreal Canadiens in der NHL gedraftet – Stürmer Rohrer in der dritten Runde, Verteidiger Reinbacher sogar als Nummer 5 in Runde 1.Rohrer entschied sich schon ein Jahr vor dem Draft, in die kanadische Juniorenliga nach Ottawa zu wechseln, Reinbacher hingegen blieb in Kloten – ein Entscheid, den er nicht bereut. Beide spielen diese Saison in ihren Clubs in der National League, am Freitag, dem 3. November könnte es zu ihrem ersten Zürcher Derby gegeneinander bei den Erwachsenen kommen.Im Eisbrecher-Podcast erzählen die beiden 19-jährigen Nationalspieler Österreichs von ihrem Weg, der in einer speziellen Region begann: Vorarlberg gilt nicht mal in ihrem Heimatland als Eishockey-Ort Nummer 1, dennoch kommen erstaunlich viele gute Spieler aus dieser Gegend - so auch NHL-Spieler Marco Rossi, Rohrers Jugendfreund und früherer ZSC-Junior.

Luca Cunti galt als junger Eishockeyspieler der GCK Lions als Riesentalent. Dennoch kam seine Karriere zunächst ins Stocken. Er wurde zwischen den Teams und Ligen hin und hergeschoben, spielte teilweise sogar in der 1. Liga. Der Versuch, in den USA College-Hockey zu spielen, scheiterte an Formalitäten - weil er nicht spielen durfte, begann er 2007 in Minnesota ein Studium der Psychologie, das er aber bis heute nicht ganz abgeschlossen hat.Nach zwei Jahren in Juniorenligen der USA und Kanadas kehrte er in die Schweiz, wo er sportlich endgültig in die Sackgasse geriet. Es hätte gut sein können, dass er für immer ein NLB-Spieler bleibt - bis ihm ausgerechnet ein für seine Härte bekannter NHL-Trainer eine vielleicht letzte Chance anbot. Cunti wurde mit dem ZSC unter Bob Hartley und später unter Marc Crawford zwei Mal Schweizer Meister.Mittlerweile spielt Cunti, 33-jährige, beim EHC Biel, mit dem er am Ende dieser Saison beinahe ein drittes Mal Champion wurde. Auch ohne Krönung erlebte er unter dem wieder an Krebs erkrankten Trainer Antti Törmänen ein denkwürdiges Playoff, das er wohl nie mehr vergessen wird. Cunti hat also einiges zu erzählen im Eisbrecher.

Here we are dealing with new allegation's in the latest chapter of the Hockey Canada saga. A woman alleges she was sexually assaulted in London, Ont. in March, 2018 by two men, one a Western University hockey player and the second a minor-league pro player, and she alleges she was discouraged by London police from pressing charges in both cases. This is not connected to the sexual assault allegations in London from June, 2018 involving eight former Canadian Hockey League players, that blew this case open. But this latest woman went to police, wanted charges laid, and told TSN she was told it was too much work and they couldn't guarantee her privacy if the person is acquitted. We spoke with Laurie Hepburn, Executive Director of the Halton Women's Place, about why many women are hesitant to come forward and report sexual assault to police.
In 1998, athlete and journalist Laura Robinson published her book "Crossing the Line: Violence and Sexual In it, she detailed a long history of abuse of and by teenage hockey players in the Canadian Hockey League...the organization that represents three national major junior ice hockey leagues. Now, nearly a quarter century later, she's attending the federal Heritage Committee's hearings into abuse within Hockey Canada. The hearings were sparked by an alleged sexual assault of a young woman by at least four members of the Canadian World Junior team at an event in 2018.Laura Robinson spoke with CBC's Leigh Anne Power.
What a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Hockey Canada, the Canadian Hockey League and eight CHL players reveals about an organization plagued with allegations of systemic abuse. After settling a multi-million dollar lawsuit with a sexual assault complainant, Hockey Canada is facing mounting scrutiny. High-profile sponsorships are in jeopardy and the federal government is freezing funding until a parliamentary committee investigation gets to the bottom of what happened. The lawsuit brought forward by a woman, now 24, alleges she was sexually assaulted by eight Canadian Hockey League players — including former world Junior players — in a London, Ont., hotel room after a gala. The suit was quietly settled in May for an undisclosed amount of money. Today on Front Burner, a conversation with Katie Strang, a senior investigative writer with The Athletic about the details of the case, and what it will mean for Hockey Canada, accountability and sexual assault.

A woman alleges she was sexually assaulted by eight Canadian Hockey League players in 2018. The public did not hear about this until 2022, after TSN broke the news that Hockey Canada settled a civil lawsuit with the woman. Now the government has cut off funding for the national organization until more details of their investigation are provided to a parliamentary committee.So, how is it that an alleged gang sexual assault was kept silent for that long? Taylor McKee is an assistant professor of Sports Management at Brock University, where he studies the intersection of sport and society, as well as the history of violence in hockey. He tells us how hockey has built a culture of secrecy and what that means for a sport deeply connected to Canadian identity.

NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Playoffs – First Round Last Night Milwaukee Bucks 116, Chicago Bulls 100 (MIL Wins 4-1) Golden State Warriors 102, Denver Nuggets 98 (GSW Wins 4-1) Bucks 116, Bulls 100 – Bucks rout Bulls 116-100 in Game 5, advance to face Celtics Giannis Antetokounmpo had 33 points and nine rebounds and the defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks routed the Chicago Bulls 116-100 on Wednesday night to finish off the first-round series in five games. The third-seeded Bucks advanced to face second-seeded Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with Game 1 on Sunday in Boston. The Celtics swept Brooklyn. After splitting the first two games, the Bucks won the last three by an average margin of 23.3 points. They won those three games without Khris Middleton, the All-Star who sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during the fourth quarter of Game 2. Patrick Williams scored 23 points for Chicago. Tonight Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors, 7:00 p.m. (PHI Leads 3-2) Phoenix Suns at New Orleans Pelicans, 7:30 p.m. (PHX Leads 3-2) Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz, 10:00 p.m. (DAL Leads 3-2) MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Minnesota Twins 5, Detroit Tigers 0 Chicago White Sox 7, Kansas City Royals 3 Chicago Cubs 6, Atlanta Braves 3 – 10 Innings Twins 5, Tigers 0 – Ryan’s arm, Kepler’s bat lead Twins past Tigers 5-0 Joe Ryan threw seven innings of one-hit ball and Max Kepler stayed hot with a pair of home runs as the streaking Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-0. Ryan Jeffers homered, doubled and drove in three runs for the Twins, who won their sixth game in a row. Michael Pineda took the loss for Detroit. He gave up four runs, including all three Twins homers, in five innings against his former team. Ryan was dominant from the start, holding the Tigers hitless until Miguel Cabrera laced a single in the fourth. The right-hander walked just one batter and struck out nine, two shy of his career high. He extended his scoreless streak to 17 2/3 innings and lowered his ERA to 1.17. White Sox 7, Royals 3 – Vaughn homers as White Sox stop slide by topping Royals 7-3 Andrew Vaughn hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox stopped an eight-game slide with a 7-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The winning rally for the White Sox started when Danny Mendick and Tim Anderson hit consecutive two-out singles off Collin Snider. Scott Barlow then came in, and Vaughn drove his first pitch into the home bullpen in left. The White Sox added another run in the eighth when Leury García scampered home on Reese McGuire’s double-play grounder. Cubs 6, Braves 3 – F/10 – Contreras, Wisdom come through in 10th, Cubs beat Braves 6-3 Willson Contreras gave Chicago the lead with a run-scoring double in the 10th inning, Patrick Wisdom followed with a two-run homer, and the Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves 6-3. Contreras lined his double to the left field wall off Tyler Matzek to drive in automatic runner Ian Happ. After Frank Schwindel struck out, Wisdom launched a drive into the left-center seats for his third homer of the season. The Cubs recovered after right-hander Mychal Givens blew a 3-1 lead in the eighth. Dansby Swanson tied the game with a two-out, two-run single to right. David Robertson relieved Givens and got the win. Today Detroit (Skubal 1-1) at Minnesota (Ober 1-1), 1:10 p.m. WSJM/WCSY 12:50 Kansas City (Keller 0-2) at Chicago White Sox (Kopech 0-0), 2:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Smyly 1-1) at Atlanta (Wright 2-0), 7:20 p.m. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Chicago Blackhawks 4, Vegas Golden Knights 3 – Shootout Blackhawks 4, Golden Knights 3 – SO – Johnson scores in SO, Blackhawks beat Golden Knights 4-3 Tyler Johnson scored in the seventh round of the shootout, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat Vegas 4-3, eliminating the Golden Knights from the playoff race.

Detroit (from LAR) NFL Draft – Top of NFL draft could lack skill position players This year’s NFL draft has the chance to be unlike any other in recent years with a possible long wait before any of the players who throw, catch or run with the ball coming off the board. There has never been a draft that didn’t have a quarterback, receiver, running back or tight end taken in the top 10 picks in the history of the NFL. A player from those positions going in the top five in all but one of the past 24 drafts. That could change this year with few projections showing skill position players going in the first handful of picks. NFL Draft – Amid uncertainty, prospects display confidence Very little is certain heading into an NFL draft. Not that the prospects on hand seem to care. There’s a level of confidence that, for them, Thursday night’s first round is a sure thing. All of the 20 men on hand for a Play 60 event Wednesday with local youths and Commissioner Roger Goodell believe they have shown the goods to be a high first-rounder. Even the very first pick, which for the second straight year Jacksonville owns. Most likely that will be Aidan Hutchinson of Michigan or Travon Walker of Georgia, both elite pass rushers. CFL – CFL moving hashmarks closer to center of field The Canadian Football League is moving its hashmarks closer to the center of the field and will allow teams to take the ball at the 40-yard line instead of the 35 following a field goal or single under a series of rules changes recently approved by the board of governors. The hashmarks will be 9 yards yards apart instead of the previous 17. Kicks following a safety will be from the 20 instead of the 25. CFL training camps are scheduled to open May 15. Teams will play two exhibition games _ for the first time since 2019 _ and a full 18-game regular campaign opens June 9 with the Montreal Alouettes visiting the Calgary Stampeders. Horse Racing – Hearing officer recommends 2-year NYRA ban for Bob Baffert A retired New York State Supreme Court Justice has recommended a two-year suspension for trainer Bob Baffert for repeated medication violations after a New York Racing Association hearing. Hearing officer O. Peter Sherwood revealed his recommendation in a 50-page report released Wednesday. Baffert’s camp and NYRA have two weeks to offer rebuttals before a three-person panel makes a final decision on the Triple Crown-winning trainer’s status. A suspension in New York until July 2024 would be the result if the panel takes up Sherwood’s full recommendation. Churchill Downs has banned Baffert from entering horses in the Kentucky Derby this year and next. NCAA – As college sports evolve, what will be NCAA president’s job? The NCAA is looking for a new president. Mark Emmert will step down from the job no later than June 2023. Observers say the NCAA should first decide what they want the function of the NCAA to be. The organization is making sweeping changes and handing more power to conferences and schools. Finding someone to lead amid all that turmoil is a challenge. Still, some involved in college sports still believe it will be necessary to have leadership at the top with a comprehensive vision for an organization that still emphasizes the importance of education. CHL – Russian, Belarusian players ineligible for draft The Canadian Hockey League said Wednesday that Russian and Belarusian players will be ineligible for selection in its July 1 import draft because of the war in Ukraine. The CHL is the umbrella organization for the three major junior hockey leagues — the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The ban does not include players currently on CHL protected lists. Last June at the most recent import draft, 16 players from Russia and 11 from Belarus were selected. Russian and Belarusian teams have been banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation from all events at all levels. WNBA – Will a Russian prisoner exchange impact Griner? Brittney Griner remains detained in Russia and it’s unclear how an unexpected prisoner exchange between the United States and Russia that freed marine veteran Trevor Reed will affect the status of the WNBA star. Griner has been detained in Russia since mid-February. The deal announced by both countries involving Reed, an American imprisoned for nearly three years, would have been a notable diplomatic maneuver even in times of peace. It was all the more surprising because it was done as Russia’s war with Ukraine has driven relations with the U.S. to their lowest point in decades. Griner is a two-time Olympic gold medalist who was arrested in Russia for allegedly possessing a cannabis derivative legal in much of the world. The offense can mean up to 10 years in prison.

The DeltaPlex in Walker, just north of Grand Rapids will close it doors on July 31st of this year. The DeltaPlex opened in the 1950’s at Stadium Arena, and was home to two International Hockey League teams, the Grand Rapids Rockets in the 1950’s and the Grand Rapids Owls in the 1970’s. More recently the DeltaPlex still holds concerts, has been home two NBA G-League teams and was the host for the MHSAA’s competitive cheerleading state finals. The facility became obsolete in the mid 1990’s when the new Van Andel Arena opened downtown. The team say that they are working with the city to see if a move to Van Andel could be done. The Gold just completed their first year as affiliate of the Denver Nuggets, prior to that, the DeltaPlex was home to the Grand Rapids Drive, the affiliate of the Detroit Pistons.

Detroit (from LAR) NFL Draft – Top of NFL draft could lack skill position players This year’s NFL draft has the chance to be unlike any other in recent years with a possible long wait before any of the players who throw, catch or run with the ball coming off the board. There has never been a draft that didn’t have a quarterback, receiver, running back or tight end taken in the top 10 picks in the history of the NFL. A player from those positions going in the top five in all but one of the past 24 drafts. That could change this year with few projections showing skill position players going in the first handful of picks. NFL Draft – Amid uncertainty, prospects display confidence Very little is certain heading into an NFL draft. Not that the prospects on hand seem to care. There’s a level of confidence that, for them, Thursday night’s first round is a sure thing. All of the 20 men on hand for a Play 60 event Wednesday with local youths and Commissioner Roger Goodell believe they have shown the goods to be a high first-rounder. Even the very first pick, which for the second straight year Jacksonville owns. Most likely that will be Aidan Hutchinson of Michigan or Travon Walker of Georgia, both elite pass rushers. CFL – CFL moving hashmarks closer to center of field The Canadian Football League is moving its hashmarks closer to the center of the field and will allow teams to take the ball at the 40-yard line instead of the 35 following a field goal or single under a series of rules changes recently approved by the board of governors. The hashmarks will be 9 yards yards apart instead of the previous 17. Kicks following a safety will be from the 20 instead of the 25. CFL training camps are scheduled to open May 15. Teams will play two exhibition games _ for the first time since 2019 _ and a full 18-game regular campaign opens June 9 with the Montreal Alouettes visiting the Calgary Stampeders. Horse Racing – Hearing officer recommends 2-year NYRA ban for Bob Baffert A retired New York State Supreme Court Justice has recommended a two-year suspension for trainer Bob Baffert for repeated medication violations after a New York Racing Association hearing. Hearing officer O. Peter Sherwood revealed his recommendation in a 50-page report released Wednesday. Baffert’s camp and NYRA have two weeks to offer rebuttals before a three-person panel makes a final decision on the Triple Crown-winning trainer’s status. A suspension in New York until July 2024 would be the result if the panel takes up Sherwood’s full recommendation. Churchill Downs has banned Baffert from entering horses in the Kentucky Derby this year and next. NCAA – As college sports evolve, what will be NCAA president’s job? The NCAA is looking for a new president. Mark Emmert will step down from the job no later than June 2023. Observers say the NCAA should first decide what they want the function of the NCAA to be. The organization is making sweeping changes and handing more power to conferences and schools. Finding someone to lead amid all that turmoil is a challenge. Still, some involved in college sports still believe it will be necessary to have leadership at the top with a comprehensive vision for an organization that still emphasizes the importance of education. CHL – Russian, Belarusian players ineligible for draft The Canadian Hockey League said Wednesday that Russian and Belarusian players will be ineligible for selection in its July 1 import draft because of the war in Ukraine. The CHL is the umbrella organization for the three major junior hockey leagues — the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The ban does not include players currently on CHL protected lists. Last June at the most recent import draft, 16 players from Russia and 11 from Belarus were selected. Russian and Belarusian teams have been banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation from all events at all levels. WNBA – Will a Russian prisoner exchange impact Griner? Brittney Griner remains detained in Russia and it’s unclear how an unexpected prisoner exchange between the United States and Russia that freed marine veteran Trevor Reed will affect the status of the WNBA star. Griner has been detained in Russia since mid-February. The deal announced by both countries involving Reed, an American imprisoned for nearly three years, would have been a notable diplomatic maneuver even in times of peace. It was all the more surprising because it was done as Russia’s war with Ukraine has driven relations with the U.S. to their lowest point in decades. Griner is a two-time Olympic gold medalist who was arrested in Russia for allegedly possessing a cannabis derivative legal in much of the world. The offense can mean up to 10 years in prison.

The DeltaPlex in Walker, just north of Grand Rapids will close it doors on July 31st of this year. The DeltaPlex opened in the 1950’s at Stadium Arena, and was home to two International Hockey League teams, the Grand Rapids Rockets in the 1950’s and the Grand Rapids Owls in the 1970’s. More recently the DeltaPlex still holds concerts, has been home two NBA G-League teams and was the host for the MHSAA’s competitive cheerleading state finals. The facility became obsolete in the mid 1990’s when the new Van Andel Arena opened downtown. The team say that they are working with the city to see if a move to Van Andel could be done. The Gold just completed their first year as affiliate of the Denver Nuggets, prior to that, the DeltaPlex was home to the Grand Rapids Drive, the affiliate of the Detroit Pistons.
