Will the NY Rangers pull off a Jack Eichel trade prior to Friday's NHL Draft?
Vincent Z. Mercogliano
NHL Writer
Trade winds are blowing throughout the NHL — and the New York Rangers are positioned in the heart of the storm.
With the Seattle Kraken selecting their inaugural roster on Wednesday, the league is preparing to reopen for business. The five-day trade freeze will end Thursday at 1 p.m., with the NHL Draft coming right on its heels Friday at 8 p.m.
The potential for an active 31 hours exists.
That's because any teams with plans of using their draft capital to acquire proven players have a small window to make it happen.
The Rangers have nine picks at their disposal, with team president and general manager Chris Drury admitting Monday that he's willing to entertain offers for his selection at No. 15 overall.
"That's a piece we have," he said. "If we can make the team better with moving that pick – or another pick or players – we'll look at everything."
A first-round pick would almost surely have to be part of any trade package to acquire the offseason's top prize — Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel.
It's widely expected that the talented 24-year-old, who was limited to 21 games last season due to a neck injury, will be traded this summer. And while several teams have shown interest, the Rangers have been considered one of the front-runners for months.
EXPANSION DRAFT: Seattle Kraken select Rangers' Colin Blackwell
FREE AGENCY: What's next for the NY Rangers' three key RFAs?
That has not changed, nor has the measured price they're willing to pay (on top of assuming the remaining five years of Eichel's contract at $10 million per season).
As the USA TODAY Network reported in March, the Rangers were likely to explore an Eichel trade package featuring one center (Ryan Strome or Filip Chytil), one winger (Pavel Buchnevich or Vitali Kravtsov), one of their top defenseman prospects and their 2021 first-round pick.
They are not willing to discuss goalie Igor Shesterkin, No. 1 overall pick Alexis Lafrenière or Norris Trophy winner Adam and would be very reluctant to include forward Kaapo Kakko or defenseman K'Andre Miller.
All of that remains true.
With Buchnevich coming off his best season and the Rangers concerned about offering him a lucrative extensive given all the other young players they'll have to re-sign in the coming years, signs are pointing to him headlining any proposed package.
Meanwhile, Strome's name has been floated by a few teams in recent days, raising the possibility that he could be part of a separate deal. If that were to happen, Chytil would be left as the logical second piece headed to Buffalo.
As for the defensemen prospects, the Rangers could offer the Sabres their pick from the talented quartet of Zac Jones, Nils Lundkvist, Matthew Robertson and Braden Schneider.
The belief remains that the final offer could consist Buchnevich, Chytil or Strome, a young defenseman of Buffalo's choosing and the No. 15 overall pick. It's possible another pick or prospect is added to seal the deal, or perhaps backup goalie Alexandar Georgiev.
Would the Sabres do that deal? GM Kevyn Adams has been asking for a boatload in return, but his options may be dwindling. Many teams that were once involved are reportedly out, with Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman indicating this week that it's down to the Rangers and the Minnesota Wild. (Although that could always change.)
What about the Rangers? Drury is aggressively seeking upgrades, but the sense is that he's prepared to go in a different direction if Adams demands too much. He's been working the phones in pursuit of other trade opportunities and free agency opens on July 28.
That's where it stands — and now we wait. If a trade is going to happen with that first-round pick included, the clock is ticking to get it done.

1. Democracy as a concept needs to be decolonized. One of my favourite moments of the conference was Leah Bassel's keynote titled "The Politics of Listening" in which she emphasized that "we need to decolonize the concept of democracy", and asked "why should we go to Ancient Greece as our democratic ideals if those were unequal, exclusive societies? Why not go to Black scholarship, critical race theory, Indigenous perspectives for our democracy?" In her keynote, she also shared a sentiment she had heard from Black women while doing her research: "I wish white women would stop trying to save us. They only listen to you if you bash your culture." Prioritizing decolonial scholarship is something many women of colour scholars have stressed in their work, and Leah Bassel's keynote was an example of being a wonderful co-conspirator. I loved her lecture. She wasn't celebrating herself, she was simply offering ideas while also giving credit to scholars who have been doing this work for a long time. Since her talk I've been reading her book "The Politics of Listening", and have been thinking about how revolutionary the act of listening can be if it is done with open hearts and a spirit of humility and recognition rather than the defensiveness that too often permeates conversations about social change and oppression.
2. Democracy is strengthened through relationships and deep conversations. For me, the best and most meaningful part of Demcracy Xchange was the opportunity to meet people from across the country who are committed to social justice and making cities and communities better. My deepest moments of learning were the conversations over meals, in the lobby of the conference venue and over cups of tea. The conference was a reminder that there is so much work to be done, and that we are better able to support ourselves and one another when we know each other, and when we develop relationships that are nurtured long after the conference days are done.
3. People feel seen and more able to step in to participate when their physical needs are attended to. I loved that each meal had halal food options. It's rare to be at an event where Muslims are seen, and even though I mostly ate vegetarian food over the weekend, I appreciated that halal food was available. I also appreciated that there were chairs for the meals so that we didn't have to stand and eat, and even at the evening reception, I found space where I could sit when I was unable to stand and still participate in conversations.
4. It takes resources to shift systems and spaces to be more reflective of the demographics of our country. There was discussion at the conference about having younger delegates and BIPOC delegates at the conference, and creating a more diverse space requires concrete action to make that happen. I am grateful to Inspirit for making it financially possible for me and others to attend Democracy Xchange and I met other people who had been funded by other organizations. Although there is definitely more work to be done, I'm glad that there are funders and organizers who are committed to devoting resources to making spaces like Democracy Xchange more diverse.
5. There is a different, much needed, narrative around design that is rooted in social justice. One of my favourite sessions at Democracy Xchange was the session about art and collective change, and the "Design as Protest" session facilitated by the phenomenal Bryan C.Lee Jr of Colloqate. The work of Colloqate roots design process in social justice frameworks rather than design that begins from human centred design (a framework that has gotten far too much airplay and has been heavily critiqued by many different theorists as simply preserving the status quo instead of producing social change). In October I started a certificate in Social Innovation at Simon Fraser University, and one of the things that has been missing from my education is design resources that begin from social justice rather than IDEO approaches. Because of that gap, I have been researching and learning more about socially just design processes and doing my own learning. The problem with the way design is taught right now is that it prioritizes white practitioners, readings by white individuals and silences and ignores the work of people of colour, and part of the reason I was interested in Democracy Xchange is that I wanted to meet more practitioners who are doing this kind of work. Towards this end, the session with Bryan definitely delivered and I'm so looking forward to delving and learning from Colloqate over the next several months.
6. Democracy is strengthened through micro-moments of kindness. At some conferences, people rush from session to session and try to soak up as much knowledge and business cards as possible. At Democracy Xchange however, although the agenda was packed, the actual conference space was limited to a small geographic space, so the time felt more spacious. Given that just a few days earlier I was in the emergency room, I wasn't well during the conference, and I appreciated every act of kindness and every person who sat with me while I was unwell instead of simply barrelling onto the next scheduled part of the day. And because my own health was fragile, I thought a lot about how how important it is to have democracy conversations that extend beyond being physically in a space. I am still thinking about this question: how do we bring conversations about democracy and civil society to those who are not well enough or resourced enough to attend and participate?
7. Academics, foundations, media, public institutions and residents all play a role in strengthening and creating a flourishing democracy. Democracy is so much more than voting and supporting political parties. The filmmaker Astra Taylor spoke in her opening remarks about how her own relationship with the word democracy has changed over the last ten years, and through participating in Democracy Xchange, my own relationship with the word altered. Over that short weekend I felt inspired by artists creating conversations about social change and democracy through their work, I was excited by the work of libraries to offer spaces for dialogue, curiosity exploration and dignified participation without expense, and I was energised by work of activists such as those working to broaden and enliven the Smart City conversation in Toronto and beyond. Before the conference I wasn't sure that conversations about democracy were meant for me, attending Democracy Xchange was a lesson that conversations and spaces about democracy most definitely matter to me.
8. Intergenerational love needs to be talked about and supported. In his opening remarks to the conference, Michael Champagne spoke about how intergenerational trauma is real, but we also need to talk about how Indigenous people are still here because of intergenerational love. We need to bring love into the scope of our conversations about democracy.
9. "Crisis is a term from ancient Greece. It's a time in a disease where you either get better or you die."~ Astra Taylor. Though Astra spoke about the crisis of capitalism, for me Astra's reflections were a reminder to think about moments of personal crisis as well and to use those moments to think about what your body is telling you, what the systems around you are telling you, and to use those moments as opportunities for change-making, for changing course and for self-reflection.
10..Everyone has a responsibility to create more equitable spaces. Although I thought that the panel on Women, Power and Intersectionality should have been moderated by a woman of colour, I appreciated the gems shared by the Indigenous and racialized women who participated in this discussion. Kyla Kafwi Scott spoke about being a mother, a daughter, a student having a full time job and giving a full-time commitment to her nonprofit Dene Nahjo and not wanting her kids to have to work as hard. Denise Siele spoke about the challenge and accountability of coming from community and being the one of the first to be in a space – it means that there is no room for mistakes, and there is "a whole cadre of people watching you and keeping you accountable." Overall, what all of these women emphasized is that the responsibility of building inclusive systems, challenging racism and xenophobia and marginalization, and striving for fair representation is work that must be shared among all of us. Racialized people cannot change Canada all by ourselves. Everyone's commitment to this work is needed.

Sanguine et Purpure: Is it just me...?
...or is this a sign that somebody "just doesn't get it" when it comes to hazing? This article is all about how the Houston Astros are on a 9-game win streak in a run for the playoffs. Good for them. But then the article goes on to mention the rookie hazing rites in a lighthearted way.
How loose are the Astros these days? Brad Lidge, who pitched the ninth for his 32nd save of the season and first since Sept. 8, walked toward the team bus cracking a black leather whip that went with the skimpy outfit worn by rookie Taylor Buchholz as part of a hazing rite.
Winning induces smiles, and even the rookies wearing revealing tight skirts laughed along while their veteran teammates joked at their expense.
More importantly, the Astros are cracking the right whip heading into their season-ending three-game series against the Atlanta Braves, which starts tonight at Turner Field. The Cardinals lost Thursday's opener 9-4 of a four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
If this had been a college fraternity intramural team people would have been up in arms over such a display. So which is it? Is hazing a harmless way of integrating new members into a group through a shared "trial", or is it a demeaning humiliation that can be dangerous or even deadly?


Alarmists are busy drawing parallels to fintech and the dot-com bust of 2000. But here's why fintech has immeasurably more sticking power than the investment craze over Internet-based companies.
Quick to talk. Slow to act. It's a symptom of most innovations that come to the financial services industry, and there's good reason for that. Financial services, a sector that's ripe for change, has long favored tradition. Banks have gone unchallenged for over a century in the marketplace.
But with the generational shift from Gen X to nearly 85 million Millennials, a new digital imperative is emerging. The widespread use of mobile has all but erased the need to visit a physical bank branch. The cost of computing has decreased drastically, representative in that two iPhone 6s contain more memory than the International Space Station. And sentiments toward centralized power in banking is met with distrust at a higher degree than ever before. Fintechs are edging in on low-margin business product offerings like payments with faster solutions and an eye toward the future user.
There is no shadow of doubt among innovators that the change fintech provides is enduring. But with nervous investors watching Bitcoin's volatility, it's important to make the distinction of what makes fintech different from the dot-com boom.
Dot-com businesses operated in the market like a sugar high. Basic cash flow principles flew out the window as many companies skimped on proving their ideas actually had market potential. Speculative valuations led many investors to follow the buzz instead of looking at a balance sheet or profitability. And while it is true that the internet has immense power to displace brick-and-mortar businesses, the momentum was shortsighted. This caused a good number of dot-com businesses to run out of cash shy of the goal, rightfully spooking investors.
Fintech's unique symbiotic relationship with incumbent banks.
While the dot-com wave was tech's early failure, fintech's approach is more timely and measured. The market sector has matured with fintech services that deliver better technology and services to the customer alongside banks as a trusted repository of funds.
Fintech's current challenge is to draw customers. Banks have always focused on the customer relationship and have enjoyed an assumed level of trust that has gone unchecked for centuries.
But with the turnover from Generation X to Millennials, many of the younger generation are less likely to go with a traditional bank than before. A growing mistrust of centralized banks is one driver that's widening the scope of traditional financial service providers. Wells Fargo's recent payout in the amount of $185 million for opening fake accounts under customer names is just one example. According to a 2016 Gallup poll, America's confidence in banks hasn't shown signs of improvement since the 2007 recession, lingering around 30 percent.
Unlike traditional banks, fintechs have an approach that creates sticking power through lean operational principles. While banks have clunky legacy technology to deal with, fintechs can afford to serve customers at a lower cost due to better technology. Fintech's focus on niche market segments means there are huge opportunities to outfit far-flung populations with digital solutions as is the case with the underbanked.
Playing nice with regulators will put fintechs into a winning stride. This is again where the dot-com bust missed the mark.
Forging ahead into the future without a game plan instead of forecasting the requirements for legitimate businesses has its price. Fintech outfits in the U.S. are expectant that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will pass down a special charter that will allow them to do business under slightly different terms as banks, but with a measure of prudent oversight. Things like compliance, security of customer data, and anti-money laundering efforts will boost companies on the fringe of the disruption onto center stage. As with most things, and especially fintech, there are no shortcuts.
Disrupting the banking industry is no small feat, but for those who make it out the other side, there are big rewards. The untapped opportunity made possible through technology is vast, but entrants strategic in their approach and operational standards will outlast the others. As with most disruptions, fintech is expected to persist, despite naysayers, although it may not transfuse the market with change as rapidly as some expect. There's a reason they call it the "slow march" toward progress, but it doesn't negate the fact that change is coming.

Q: Rearrange array in Javascript with ES6 I want to reorder an Array with ES6.
For example:
    [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

When my starting number is 5, I want a new array like this:
    [5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4].

I am able to fix this by looping, comparing, slicing, glueing the thing back together.
However I've read some interesting array functionality with ES6 that might make this easier. But I'm having trouble putting this into practise.

A: It can be
let newArr = [...arr.slice(arr.indexOf(5)), ...arr.slice(0, arr.indexOf(5))]

or
let newArr = [...arr];
newArr = [...newArr.splice(arr.indexOf(5)), ...newArr];

A: So I am not sure this is what you have in mind, but assuming you mean we are starting at 5 because its value (not position if you start counting at 1) is 5, the following should work (though maybe not the newfangled idea you wanted).
var startArr =[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
var startIndex=startArr.indexOf(5);//finds 5, if you meant just because it is the 5th. say startArr=5-1
if (startIndex!=-1){
    var a1=startArr.slice(startIndex);
    var a3=a1.concat(startArr.slice(0,startIndex));
    //a3 now contains what you wished for, you may console.log(a3) to see
}

Candle 79 – LOST GEM
Food & Beverage , Vegan , Vegetarian
candle79.com
2427 Broadway; 1307 Third Avenue
When I heard the story, firsthand, behind Candle 79 and its sister eateries, the Healthy Candle and Candle Cafe, I was surprised that it had not been turned into a movie – yet. In 1984, Bart Potenza purchased Sunny's, a well-known health food store whose previous owner had some interesting traditions. He used to light candles each night to bless and cleanse the shop. When Bart heard this, he changed the name to "The Healthy Candle." A customer named Joy Pierson began frequenting the store in 1987, quickly befriending Bart. He hired her as an in-house nutritionist and then asked her to become his partner. The Healthy Candle continued to grow and the two looked to expand. In 1993, in a moment of serendipity, they won $53,000 in the take-five lottery. The two immediately decided that this was their ticket to open the Candle Cafe on Third Avenue and 75th Street. Though the Healthy Candle closed in 1994, Candle Cafe continued to thrive, expanding in 2003 with Candle 79, an entirely vegan restaurant.
As soon as the Manhattan Sideways team and I sat down, the bartender placed a house made ginger ale and a mango pomegranate fresca with chia seeds in front of us. As befits a restaurant that is dedicated to improving customers' health, the mocktail list is as varied and complex as the cocktail list. This does not mean, however, that the alcohol list is not impressive: Candle 79 is one of the few restaurants in New York to feature an "eco bar," meaning it only stocks completely organic and sustainable liquors. Benay Vynerib, the general manager and catering director, said that the eco bar is also "as local as we can be." She pointed out the Tree Hugger cocktail, made with Veev, an alternative to vodka. For every Tree Hugger cocktail ordered, a meter of rain forest is saved. Two drinks that we watched being made were Spiced Pumpkinhead with Crop Pumpkin vodka, apple, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves, as well as a Spiked Cherry Bomb, a mixture of Purity vodka, ginger, cayenne, and cherry.
I have been a fan of the Candle restaurants for many years, but was eager to have Olivia and Tom, two avid carnivores, sample some of the outstanding dishes. Benay ordered us a plate of pomegranate barbecue seitan skewers to try alongside a sweet potato salad. It was followed by a wild mushroom crepe with a zesty sauce drizzled on top. For dessert, we all tried the Mexican chocolate brownie topped with caramelized bananas, soy coconut ice cream and candied pecans. Benay informed us that not everyone who visits Candle 79 is a vegan or vegetarian. Quite the contrary – eighty percent of visitors are omnivores. Benay was proud to tell us that she has been a vegan since the mid-nineties and was thrilled to join Joy and Bart at Candle Cafe in 2002. It was interesting to learn that many of the employees begin as meat-eaters but eventually shift their preferences to vegetarian food.
It was at this point that we met the chef, Angel, who has been working with Joy and Bart since the late nineties. "My passion is cooking new dishes," Angel told me. Originally from Mexico, he began as a runner in the cafe, but always wanted to be in the kitchen. Bart and Joy recognized his potential and made him a chef. "I like what I'm doing," he said with a smile. Continuing to walk through the rest of the restaurant, Benay pointed out the buddhas and touches of feng shui that Bart has added on both floors, saying "There's pride and care in everything he does."

Trade news > Economy in mind, Bolsonaro changes tack and cozies up to Xi
Economy in mind, Bolsonaro changes tack and cozies up to Xi
David Biller, Diane Jeantet
What a difference a year makes.
In the months before last year's presidential election in Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro described China as predatory and thumbed his nose at the Chinese government by visiting Taiwan, Beijing's archrival.
Now, as a more pragmatic president, Bolsonaro welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to an international summit that begins Wednesday in Brasilia, the capital.
The first item on the agenda for Bolsonaro, a far-right leader who has sometimes tried to hang the communist label on his political rivals in Brazil, is a bilateral meeting with Xi.
He received Xi at the foreign relations ministry with smiles and handshakes. It's a sign of how Bolsonaro views China as critical to his ambitions to rejuvenate Brazil's sluggish economy.
Gone is last year's fiery campaign trail rhetoric about China being a rapacious power intent on exploiting Brazilian resources.
China is, after all, Brazil's biggest trading partner.
As China expanded rapidly in the 2000s, eventually becoming the world's second largest economy, it relied on commodities from producers. Brazil, Latin America's largest economy, shipped soybeans, iron ore and crude to satisfy China's expanding appetite. Those three products account for more than 80% of Brazil's exports to China.
Xi's visit for a meeting of leaders of the BRICS emerging economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — is his first to Brazil since 2014.
But his relationship with Bolsonaro has already been blossoming.
Just last month, Bolsonaro traveled to Beijing for economic and other accords, including the exemption of Chinese nationals from Brazil visa requirements. Xi received him at his car and they walked side-by-side on a long, red carpet.
"Bolsonaro discovered how important China is to Brazil and that he can do business with China. And he's more or less happy with that," said Maurício Santoro, professor of international relations at Rio de Janeiro's state university.
Before he became president, Bolsonaro praised the U.S. and President Donald Trump . He often said China can buy from Brazil, but not buy Brazil itself — rhetoric that continued for a while after he took office Jan. 1.
The hostile remarks didn't last, though.
Brazil is dependent on foreign investment, especially from China.
Confirmed Chinese investments in Brazil between 2007 and 2018 totaled almost $60 billion, more than any other Latin American country, according to the Brazil-China Business Council, a Brazilian research center.
Investments faltered in 2018 ahead of Brazil's election, part of a broader decline stemming from investor caution.
After Bolsonaro won the presidency, he took his first trip abroad to the U.S., then in the midst of a growing trade dispute with China. But Brazil didn't get caught in the middle.
"Brazil has all the reasons to work with both countries and not pick sides," said Pepe Zhang, associate China director at the Washington-based Atlantic Council. "So far, it's doing a good job."
In August, amid Western criticism of Brazil's handling of fires raging in the Amazon, China defended Brazil. Bolsonaro described China's support as "priceless."
Not everyone is feeling the love. A group planned a pro-democracy protest in support of Hong Kong on Wednesday during the Bolsonaro-Xi bilateral meeting.
As Brazil-Chinese diplomacy advances, there are delicate issues to navigate.
The U.S., for example, is pressuring the Brazilian government to exclude Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei from its auction next year to provide a 5G network.
The U.S. State Department says that Huawei poses cybersecurity risks and that it will review the way it shares intelligence about Venezuela with Brazil if Huawei is allowed to provide 5G service.
The U.S. and Brazil consider Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to be illegitimate and want him to resign.
China, eager for repayment of the billions of dollars in oil-backed loans it extended to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's socialist administration, continues to support his regime.
Bolsonaro knows he won't find common ground with Xi on Venezuela when they meet, and will likely focus on luring more Chinese investment and trade, said Santoro, the international relations professor.
Bolsonaro, a fringe lawmaker until his campaign, earned the nickname "Trump of the Tropics" for his rejection of politically correct discourse, and many of his supporters came to see him as a crusader willing to impose morality on a political system rife with corruption and a society suffering from violent crime.
One of his main challenges is boosting economic growth, with Brazil headed toward its third year of subdued activity after two years of deep recession. He handed the reins of economic policymaking to a University of Chicago-trained economist who is taking steps to improve business conditions, reduce trade barriers of Brazil's protected market, and carry out a vast privatization program.
Some Brazilians were concerned that Bolsonaro as president would assume a "bipolar vision of the world" and closely align with the U.S. at the expense of China relations, said José Pio Borges, president of Cebri, a Brazilian research center that studies China.
"Now, after all these reunions and initiatives, it's clear that Brazil wants to have relationships with everyone," Borges said.

I took an impromptu trip to visit friends in West Palm Beach and took my laptop, since I wanted to keep up with all things online. Unfortunately, they were having problems with their Internet, so I'll have to catch up with letters D, E, F & G. I'll also try to catch up with all of your posts, as well! Letters A through C serendipitously took on a Travel/Places of interest theme, so I'll try to stay with that. However, I may have to veer off course on occasion!
"H" is for Hard Rock Cafe.
My only two visits to a Hard Rock Cafe both occurred in New York City. The first was in April or May of 2000; only a few short months before 9/11. I volunteered to chaperone my son's eighth grade field trip, a whirlwind three day excursion with a raucous group of young teenagers. At one point in our tour, we were waiting for the ferry to take us to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I asked someone to take a picture of my son and I with the NY skyline behind us and, more specifically, the Twin Towers. Little did I realize the significance that picture would come to have.
The Hard Rock Cafe was one of our stops and we enjoyed a meal and the Rock & Roll memorabilia on display. Currently, there are 191 locations in 59 countries, including 157 cafes, 22 hotels and 11 casinos. For more information on the Hard Rock story click this link.

The big dig continues at Meggetland to install the new irrigation on-site. Ecosse Sports battling the recent Scottish Winter (blowing a hooley and raining for days on end) to get this one done by the end of the year!
This shot highlights the existing macadam with the ring main excavation ongoing!
Rathdown school and Monkstown hockey club has endorsed their new pitch as fantastic after their first weekend of hockey on the new water based pitch. Officially opening with the big game on the 8th November where Ireland will host Belgium in a friendly a great test for the new surface. Well done to Tony Patterson Contracts for providing a top facility.
Rathdown school hockey new artificial pitch pitch project is delivering an FIH 'global' standard facility in south Dublin for both the pupil's of the school and Monkstown Hockey Club. The long standing partnership will see the site host two hockey pitches one water based to the same standard as the recent world cup competition and the other a sand dressed pitch.
The commitment the school have shown to bring this facility to fruition underscores how hockey in the area has developed, the recent results are testament to this investment.
The new water based pitch constructed by Tony Patterson Contracts is installed with a Greenfield's product. Here the final stages of the artificial turf installation is shown.
St Edwards School Oxford "Teddy's" get top quality hockey pitch St Edward's School, Oxford have just completed the refurbishment of an old sand filled hockey pitch. The original pitch (now 21 years old!) was mainly used for tennis.
As with any old facilities the old pitch has to be carefully investigated to characterize the base condition, shock pad and any need to modify the surface to meet NGB requirements; which may have moved on. Sports Labs carried out a site investigation on the old pitch to assess existing tarmac and shock pad. This clearly indentified the costs going forward for works required- in this case a new shock pad was required.
Sports Labs designed, tendered and project managed the works. Agripower successfully secured this contract and decided to install a Tiger Turf Evo Pro sand dressed surface.
At every stage in the construction process checks and tests were carried out to confirm that the works met specification. This included the tarmac, shock pad and artificial turf.
The pitch installation was handed over to the client on time and on budget. The school have found the pitch to be first class and is now the preferred surface for hockey at the school.
Sports Labs gain NOC approval The company Sports Labs BE is as of 6 July 2012 approved by NOC * NSF as a testing institute for performing laboratory tests and inspections of sports floors. Sports Labs BE is located in Gentbrugge in Belgium and is part of Sports Labs Ltd. Sports Labs BE is an ISO / IEC 17020 certified company that, among other FIFA, FIH and the International Rugby Board works.
The management of standards and test methods for sport has for many years been in the hands of ISA Sport (now ISA KIWA). After ISA KIWA became an independent organization, the management of standards and test methods transferred to NOC * NSF. In 2008, the company INTRON NOC * NSF Certification (now SGS INTRON) were approved for the testing of sports surfaces and now Sports Labs BE the third test institute recognized by NOC * NSF.
Besides ISA KIWA and SGS INTRON's also Sports Labs BE contribute expertise to the testing of sports surfaces and sports facilities in the Netherlands in accordance with established procedures.
The new all-weather pitches at Wakefield Sports Club were officially opened on Saturday 23rd June during a weekend of celebration and festival of hockey involving players from all over the country. Juniors, seniors and masters enjoyed the weekend with friendly and competitive games against local and not so local opposition. The weekend marked the completion of the major project to create a world-class hockey venue. Following the trend set by the London 2012 hockey stadium, Wakefield Sports Club's College Grove site now has a new blue water-based pitch alongside its fully refurbished green pitch. Both meet international standards.
Project Leader Peter Clay said, "This is a fantastic facility for hockey of the highest level. It is the premier hockey club facility in the North of England." The Chinese Ladies Olympic Hockey Team will use the pitch for their pre games training in July.
The project could not have been completed without the effort of a team of committed volunteers.
Wakefield Hockey Club President, Chris Partridge said; "This is a big investment for the future and just reward for our dedication to the development of hockey and junior hockey in particular".
Sports Labs again assisted Wakefield Hockey Club in the Planning, Design, Procurement and Project Management of the works to both pitches. The site continues it development as a premier site for hockey with these high quality 'Global' standard pitches.

How Hunter Digital designed an automated email sequence that generated a 200% return for Spirit of the West Adventures.
Hunter Digital created a successful automated lead generation system for a West Coast kayaking tour operator that built new customer relationships and positioned the company as an expert in whale and wildlife sightings.
Spirit of the West Adventures operates kayaking tours all along the B.C. coast, including Northern Vancouver Island and the Johnstone Strait region. Their home base is on Quadra Island—a beautiful spot and an ideal place from which to explore the region. Spirit of the West's unique kayaking experiences and attention to detail has earned them multiple awards, including a 2018 Destination BC Tourism Industry Award.
Spirit of the West needed to reach new customers who are specifically interested in kayaking tours in B.C. A big part of what sets this company apart from other kayaking tour operators is their region, and its potential to for unique wildlife sighting experiences—particularly sightings of humpback whales and orcas.
The company's existing strategy did not include any methods for connecting with new customers who would likely be interested in these experiences—particularly while those customers were making their travel plans. Spirit of the West was passively collecting emails through a newsletter signup, but had no way to know how effective this newsletter was in converting the signups to bookings. Additionally, the newsletter and email content they were sending out was not being delivered on a consistent schedule. They had long been interested in developing a pre-set email sequence, but no one on the team had time to make this a priority.
All of this left Spirit of the West Adventures waiting for potential customers to stumble onto their site and reach out to them to ask about their tours.
Hunter Digital created a customized lead generation system that converted website visitors into email subscribers, and email subscribers into future customers. This system collected contact information from web visitors at the moment they were in their trip-planning phase, then built a relationship with them—one that positioned Spirit of the West Adventures as the experts in creating unique opportunities to view whales from a kayak within the amazing setting of the West Coast.
First, we developed a simple, beautiful 6-page guide on when and how to see whales in B.C. that the company can offer in exchange for a web visitor's contact details (email and first name). This guide positions Spirit of the West as whale watching experts by including everything people need to know about where, when and how to see whales in B.C., and how to view wildlife safely and respectfully.
Next, we implemented a simple and easy pop-up form for web visitors to request the guide. The form enticed customers and allowed them to enter their contact information without interrupting their browsing experience.
When a customer entered their contact information, this triggered a personalized and automated email sequence that first delivered the guide to the customer, then nurtured the customer relationship. The sequence added value, built brand loyalty and generated excitement around the company's tours—leading the customer through a simple sales funnel that began with grabbing the offer and ended with a booking.
Our three-month project with Spirit of the West earned them an ROI of more than 200% from this program alone. The sequence generated 57 new high-quality leads to nurture and convert into future guests during the course of the project, and Spirit of the West now has a simple, repeatable and automated email nurture sequence that they can use well into the future, along with the whale-watching guide as a free offer. In the first month alone after launching the sequence, the offer created 9 new tour bookings.
Along with the guide, pop-up form and email sequence, Hunter Digital also provided Spirit of the West with an updated privacy policy that complies with the new data protection laws.
Spirit of the West now has a simple way to capture emails from web visitors, giving them more control and more ability to follow up with customers right when they're ready to book a tour. And all of this was accomplished with no additional advertising spend beyond what the company was already doing before this project.
"The team at Hunter Digital really are masters of their craft. Insightful and patient teachers we not only benefited from their help with Lead Generation during the project we also learned a great deal about how to use lead generation and digital strategies in our business in the future. We loved that at the end of the program we also had many great resources and analytics to use going forward. Great value and great folks to work with."
