The Saint John Sea Dogs announced the promotion of St. John's NL born, Travis Crickard to the position of Head Coach for the 2022-23 season on August 10,2022.

The St. John's Newfoundland-born coach won the Memorial Cup with the team. This was his second Memorial Cup appearance.“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity General Manager Trevor Georgie and Owner Scott McCain have given me to be Saint John's Head Coach” said Crickard. “Coming off our Memorial Cup run I look forward to building upon and honouring the Sea Dogs' success by developing the next wave of Sea Dogs athletes on the ice and young men off the ice. I also endeavour to create a lasting legacy as a community-focused coach.”Since retiring as a player in 2010, Crickard led the Ottawa Jr. 67's U18 AAA team to the Telus Cup final in 2013 and has worked across all three leagues in the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). He previously worked with the Ottawa 67s of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League (WHL) as an an assistant coach. In 2015, he won the Ed Chynoweth Cup with the Kelowna Rockets who made it to the Memorial Cup Final before ultimately falling in overtime to the Oshawa Generals. Crickard has also spent time in New Zealand, as the General Manager of the Botany Swarm for three seasons and a one-month coaching internship with the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team, and before joining the Sea Dogs, he served as Head Coach of the Waterloo Wolves U18 AAA team.“Travis was an integral part of our coaching staff that just hoisted the Memorial Cup” said Sea Dogs President and General Manager, Trevor Georgie. “There were a lot of great lessons and experiences for everyone this past season, especially leading into and during the Memorial Cup tournament. We want to continue to build on those experiences and consistency is key to carrying that forward. Travis brings with him not only this past Memorial Cup experience, but many others as part of winning programs in the CHL and internationally. He is smart, prepared, focused, and like our players, he is always looking for opportunities to learn and get better. We're excited for him and his family to continue to grow their lives here in Saint John.” Crickard also has international coaching experience, having worked for Hockey Canada and holding coaching staff roles twice at the Under-17 World Hockey Championships, including winning gold as the video coach with the 2020-21 Under-18 Canadian Men's team.“Being a head coach in the CHL is something I dreamed about since I was 18 years old” said Crickard. “Today, that dream has been realized and I have many people to thank from this past season for their support toward this achievement and transition into the Head Coach role. My family and I are really excited about staying in Saint John where we feel at home. In the next few weeks, we will hire new assistant coaches and welcome many new faces and returning veterans to training camp. We look forward to icing a team that the fans can be proud of!"To learn more about the Seadogs visit: https://sjseadogs.com/#galeforcewins is an inspirational podcast with New episodes every Tuesday evening on Youtube or wherever you get your podcasts.You can also visit https://galeforcewins.com/To message Gerry visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerrycarew/To message Allan visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allanadale/

Sustainability and resilience go hand in hand. Interestingly, however, while many organizations are clinging to their ambitious, long-term sustainability goals, the same cannot be said for their short-term day-to-day focus on sustainability. The ambition to treat sustainability as a key business objective is there, however, operationalizing sustainability is proving to be a barrier to progress. In this podcast, we're joined by Anne Robinson (Chief Strategy Officer) and Claire Milner (SVP EMEA) from Kinaxis, to discuss why the inability to operationalize sustainability is a hindrance to achieving long-term sustainability goals, and why it's imperative organizations start to treat sustainability with the same level of importance as other business objectives.

Stephen Bray is a church planter in St. John's Newfoundland, one of the least “churched” cities in Canada (Only 1% of the city's population attends worship services on Sundays.) Stephen is associated with Mile One Mission. M1M is a group of men and women who hold a deep conviction to see Gospel-centred churches raised up and supported amongst the peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador In Newfoundland. There, Christians traditionally identify as Roman Catholic, Anglican, United, Salvation Army or Pentacostal. Historically there has been no presence of Reformed or Evangelical churches. However, as a young man, he was introduced to the teaching ministry of RC Sproul and the doctrines of the sovereignty of God and the gospel of grace.What kind of church should be planted in St. John's. Is it time to develop a mega-church drawing all kinds of people to a central ‘campus'? There are two new mosques in town and a refurbished synagogue. What would be an adequate gospel response?Prior to starting a church, Stephen spent 18 months learning about the city. What was going on with the government? He met with police officials. He met with social services, with paramedics, fire departments, politicians; he met with all kinds of leaders that would meet with him and just ask, “What's happening? What are you happy with? What are you not happy with? What's going right? What's going wrong? He called as many churches as he could and asked what is your membership? What is your average attendance? How long have you been here? What's going right for you? What are you excited about? What are you discouraged about?After all that, he proposes a model of being church that views the “mega-church” with a “celebrity” pastor as a failed model. Rather, he proposes a small church (200-250 members) that is focused on urban neighbourhoods. This model sees 10 churches of 200 members having a much greater influence in the city and civic society than one church of 2000 members.Mentioned in the podcast:Mile One Mission https://www.mileonemission/20 Schemes https://20schemes.com/ The Gospel Coalition (Canada) or TGC https://ca.thegospelcoalition.org/The Gospel Coalition or TGC https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/RC Sproul see https://www.ligonier.org/ Union School of Theology https://www.ust.ac.uk/ Michael Reeves https://www.ust.ac.uk/faculty-publications#michael-reeves

In this experience we explore what happens to crews between their flights when on a layover. There is the glamour of a layover that we see in movies. The reality is usually quite different. It's a good tip to know and appreciate what happens with your crew in destinations. For a number of years, the layover was Vinod's second home – and he can't imagine how many hotels, hotel rooms and ground transport shuttles he has been in. There are different types of layovers. There are short in-transit layovers but stereotypically there is an overnight stay involved. The layover clock starts as soon as the airplane is chocked. Does a crew get backed up clearing immigration? Does a crew have to wait for baggage? How is the crew going to be transported from the airport? Has their airline put out a tender for ground transportation, or do crew need to use airport shuttles? Or maybe the airline is paying for taxis. Sometimes crew members will be familiar enough with a city to just do things as if they were a local. Where does the airline pick the hotel location – is it by the airport or is it in the city centre? What kind of hotel experience does the airline want for their crews? Is the hotel an international chain or a local hotel? The reality of the layover dictates where the layover hotel is at. Sometimes it's a long drive from the airport to the hotel or resort – Vinod had to mitigate an hour-long drive in Cuba. Coming back to the airport is more pressure-filled to be on time, and sometimes the crew gets stuck while trying to get to the airport. Sometimes taxi or minivan service is shoddy, or unique forms of transport are provided – like Vinod and his stretch limousine experience. Hotels – do crew qualify for points? Officially no, but Vinod has a crazy story where he collected points for a while and got a nice upgrade. Crews learn which rooms they like and no, crew members DO NOT share rooms. The hotel is a crew members' solace – a home away from home. Geoff shares a story of a sketchy former hotel in downtown Toronto that was a layover hotel for at least one airline. Sometimes the layover is very short, so a layover at a hotel is barely enough to even get few hours of rest. A key point in all of this, is that crew members are not getting paid while they are on layover. They have ways to make money on the layover through effective management of their per diems and eating their own food. There is also a strategy of which layover to select. Sometimes airlines own the destination resort and put the crews up all-inclusive. Some airlines paid their per diems in cash. Sometimes there are long layovers – up to a week in length. Vinod remembers Canada 3000's multi-leg cross-Pacific milk-runs. Geoff remembers loading Canadian domestic milk-run baggage. We have seen a number of milk-runs during the COVID 19 pandemic. We will likely see that milk-run trend continue. Of course, there are the parties, but as a crew you have to be responsible since you're still representing the company. Vinod shares an experience he had seeing an Emirates crew on layover in Colombo – that almost felt out of Hollywood. Vinod shares how a crew member was wild and extremely intimate and ended up no longer working for the airline. There are strict rules against flying under the influence of alcohol. Crew are legal to fly but could still be in rough shape. Crews do different things when they are on layover. Many crew members are mothers, using the time to get some silence. Many crew members use fitness facilities at hotels. Shopping and local cuisine are also something crews participate in. Vinod shares stories of lobsters in Halifax, Nova Scotia and drives in Hawaii. During the COVID 19 pandemic crews that are working are doing an incredible job – and crew end up working on holidays like Christmas. For crew members who are single, crew mates become family. If things go wrong due crews need to let their airline know to ensure that the flight can still fly. Flying redeye flights lead to crews needing to make sure they get proper naps and rest. But weather plays a key factor and can send things sideways in a hurry. Vinod shares a story of Christmas season in St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador – where blizzard cancellations led to a big party. Crews have to be careful who they party with – particularly at resorts – they may be serving that person the next day. We touch briefly on crews on reserve, standby and ready reserve. What's in your bag is determined by your layover. Sometimes crews get forced into a layover due to mechanical issues. Sometimes it's a struggle to have enough clean clothes. You never know as a passenger what's going on with your crew before they were dealing with your flight. Ask your crew member if they had a nice layover.
