U.S. Travel honors its 2019 Travel Champions
The U.S. Travel Association on Wednesday announced the recipients of the sixth annual Distinguished Travel Champion Award: Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Sen. Rob Portman (D-OH), Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) and Acting Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Manisha Singh
Each is being honored for his or her exceptional leadership in advancing and protecting policies that strengthen travel to and within the United States.
U.S. Travel will present the awards today at U.S. Travel's Destination Capitol Hill—the travel and tourism industry's premier legislative fly-in event dedicated to educating policymakers about the power of travel and showcasing the industry as one of America's most vital economic sectors.
"We always say that travel is neither a red or blue issue," said U.S. Travel President and CEO Roger Dow. "This year's Distinguished Travel Champions have a deep understanding of travel's contributions to the American economy, and have consistently reached across the aisle to advance sensible policies that grow travel, enhance security and trade, and keep our economy moving.
"Our winners' dedication to securing Brand USA's long-term reauthorization, overhauling America's infrastructure systems, preserving our national parks, rebranding and expanding the Visa Waiver Program, and upholding our nation's Open Skies aviation agreements strengthen travel's role as job creator and economic engine."
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)
Since entering Congress just two years ago, Cortez Masto has quickly become an advocate for the travel industry and a top congressional champion of Brand USA. Her tireless work and dedication to ensuring the reauthorization of Brand USA, a program crucial to the United States' travel promotion and planning, is invaluable.
Said Cortez Masto: "I'm honored to receive the 2019 Distinguished Travel Champion Award. I say it all the time, Nevada is the gold standard for tourism and hospitality. We draw tourists to the Las Vegas Valley and from the pristine waters of Lake Tahoe to the scenic peaks of the Ruby Mountains. I'm so proud to support our $60 billion tourism economy and the jobs it supports in Nevada. As Senator, I'll continue to fight for policies like Brand USA and those to increase efficient travel that strengthen our tourism industry for years to come."
Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-OR)
DeFazio's commitment to overhauling infrastructure systems within our country is crucial to increasing connectivity and facilitating travel growth across America. He has also undertaken laudable efforts to end the practice of diverting "9/11" security fees to other programs unrelated to air travel security.
DeFazio's dedication to his home state's $11.8 billion travel and tourism industry is commendable, as is his work to ensure local travel leaders have a voice in the state's transportation planning.
Said DeFazio: "I am proud to be this year's recipient of the U.S. Travel Association's Distinguished Travel Champion Award. Travel and tourism promote economic prosperity, create jobs, and strengthen our national security through improved international relations. As Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I am working hard to modernize our nation's airports, increase federal investment in infrastructure, and ensure we remain on the cutting edge of innovation as it relates to transportation. All of these improvements will help encourage increased travel and tourism."
Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH):
Portman's leadership on national parks issues, as well as many other important fiscal issues facing the country, is vital to the preservation of our public lands and the continued growth of the American economy.
Portman led efforts to pass the Restore Our Parks Act and to establish a dedicated source of funding for the $12 billion deferred maintenance backlog that will help ensure the viability of our parks for generations to come. Our national parks are some of the biggest draws for domestic and international travelers, and countless "gateway" communities across the country rely on well-maintained parks and robust visitation.
"It is an honor to receive the U.S. Travel Association's 2019 Distinguished Travel Champion Award," said Portman. "If we want our national parks to be here for generations of travelers to come we must address the nearly $12 billion backlog in long-delayed maintenance projects at the National Park Service. I've seen this maintenance backlog firsthand at national park sites in Ohio, and it underscores why we must pass my bipartisan Restore Our Parks Act to ensure that that the National Park Service has the resources to continue preserving American treasures. I look forward to working to get this legislation across the finish line."
Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC):
Rice's co-sponsorship of the JOLT Act and commitment to strengthening and expanding the Visa Waiver Program is crucial to enhancing U.S. security and economic competitiveness.
Rice's efforts to support towns and cities in his district devastated by Hurricane Florence, including tourism-dependent communities such as Myrtle Beach, have been critical.
"I am honored to receive the U.S. Travel Association's 2019 Distinguished Travel Champion Award," said Rice. "I will continue to advocate for policies that will support American jobs, strengthen national security, and grow South Carolina's tourism economy."
Acting Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Manisha Singh:
Singh has undertaken crucial efforts to uphold our country's vital Open Skies aviation agreements, increase financial transparency and protect the interests of all U.S. aviation stakeholders. She has worked hard to elevate the travel industry as an essential export and economic driver.
Said Singh: "I'm honored to receive U.S. Travel's 2019 Distinguished Travel Champion Award. The U.S. State Department is pleased to support the U.S. travel industry and American jobs by negotiating and helping to enforce Open Skies aviation agreements that bring flights, travel, and business to the United States from around the world."

Travel Trends Index: International and domestic travel growth projected to dwindle
April 2, 2019 by Forimmediaterelease
Travel to and within the U.S. grew 3.2% year-over-year in February, according to the U.S. Travel Association's latest Travel Trends Index (TTI).
However, the predictive Leading Travel Index (LTI) continues to project a slowdown in both international and domestic travel growth, as both segments could continue to feel the effects of rising trade tensions, volatile financial markets and weakening business and consumer confidence. These factors have the potential to stunt travel growth and dull American competitiveness at a time when the U.S. is seeking to reverse its declining share of the global international travel market.
Though international inbound travel grew for the ninth consecutive month, the segment grew only 1.4% in February. Domestic travel increased 2.8% year-over-year in February, with growth in both the business and leisure travel segments. Domestic business travel outpaced the leisure segment for the first time since October 2018, registering slightly above its six-month moving average with a 3.0% growth. Leisure growth fell slightly below its six-month moving average with a more tepid 2.6% growth rate.
Looking ahead, domestic and international inbound travel are both projected to grow, but at a moderate pace.
Said U.S. Travel Senior Vice President for Research David Huether: "Growth is expected to decelerate in the case of domestic travel while international inbound travel is projected to remain soft. This is consistent with an expectation of stable-yet-moderating economic growth both in the U.S. and globally."
U.S. Travel economists caution that this decelerated growth rate will make it even more difficult for the U.S. to regain its diminishing share of the global international travel market. Acting on certain legislative initiatives—such as Brand USA's long-term reauthorization and the rebranding and expansion of the Visa Waiver Program—can help the U.S. increase competitiveness in the global travel market.
The TTI is prepared for U.S. Travel by the research firm Oxford Economics. The TTI is based on public and private sector source data which are subject to revision by the source agency. The TTI draws from: advance search and bookings data from ADARA and nSight; airline bookings data from the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC); IATA, OAG and other tabulations of international inbound travel to the U.S.; and hotel room demand data from STR.

Find apps that can be played by everyone including Grandma, parents, young adults and kids. (Photo: Getty Images/iStockphoto )
If you are looking for fun ways to play family games, bring out your tablet or smartphone. Here are some new apps that are perfect for multiplayer entertainment. They can be played by everyone including Grandma, parents, young adults and kids.
? Heads Up!, best for ages 6-up, 99 cents; iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android
Rating: 4 stars (out of 4)
Created for and played on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," it is a variation of Charades, but one where the crowd acts out the word instead of one person. The designated player holds the device above his or her head, and the screen shows a word for the group to describe or act out. Categories include celebrities, animals, movies, accents, characters, and more. Additional word packs are available for $.99; with some add-on packs being offered for free, including one for kids. There is even an add-on option to build your own deck of cards.
While crowd-sourcing the clue-giving makes this game fun for all (and non-threatening to introverts), "Heads Up!" skyrockets its entertainment level by having the device's camera film the crowd's antics.
BEST FOR: A multi-generational crowd. It is the only one on this list that can handle more than four people.
? Timeline for iPad, best for ages 8-up, $2.99, iPad
This app is great for families looking to insert some learning into their game-playing. Each of up to four players is dealt five historic event cards to place on a constantly expanding timeline in the center of the game board. The cards show and name events, such as the invention of adhesive tape or the building of the Statue of Liberty. Players take turns adding their cards to the timeline.
At first, it is easy to place a card on the timeline, since there are so few dates; but as more cards are added, specific knowledge is needed to correctly place the cards. If you are wrong in your placement, the card briefly shows you the correct date and then disappears. That card is replaced with a new one in your stash. The first person to get rid of all their cards wins.
After placement, some cards offer a light bulb to tap for more information. With only 116 cards, the game can feel repetitive; but additional cards can be bought for $.99 as an in-app purchase.
BEST FOR: Families interested in history. It offers head-scratching questions such as which came first: sign language or the tuning fork?
? Marble Mixer, best for ages 4-up, 99 cents; iPhone, IPod Touch, iPad, Android
Rating: 3.5 stars
If your group includes ball-loving kids, try this marble game.Offering three different games for up to 4 players, the app lets kids shoot and flick virtual marbles onto target boards, into outer space vortexes or over a monster's mouth.
While not as satisfying as holding a heavy shooter in your hand and hearing the satisfying thwack of hitting real glass, this app provides fun marble play without having to carry a heavy bag of marbles. The marble-flicking physics works well; and it would be hard to duplicate the rotating targets found in each of the three games.
Known as a "huddle game" since the players all crowd around the device, this is a great game to play when your kids are getting antsy, especially if you play the variation involving the marble-munching monster whose maw opens and closes as you shoot your marbles from your designated corner.
BEST FOR:Wiggle-worm kids. The game play is fast-paced and frenetic so it keeps them occupied.
? Ticket To Ride, best for ages 8-up, $6.99, iPad, Kindle Fire, Android (there's an iPhone and iPod Touch version is called "Ticket to Ride Pocket" for $1.99)
All aboard for a virtual train ride across the U.S. In this adaptation of the classic board game, up to five players on the same device can crisscross the United States claiming possible railroad routes in hopes of building a rail line empire. Players can also compete against virtual or online players, including those playing on other platforms (such as Steam PC and Mac).
As budding railroad tycoons, players are dealt secret destination cards which show two cities to connect. Then they are off, taking turns to tactically placing virtual train cards to build routes across the map. The longer your routes, the more points you get as you complete passage between the cities on your destination cards. Strategy comes into play as you try to block others while building your own rail empire. The app features a great tutorial and stays true to the artwork of the original game.
BEST FOR:Families who enjoy strategy board games.

Viktor Orbán is not welcome in the US on the 60th Anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution
August 31, 2016 6:29 pm·
A small Hungarian-American group has started a letter-writing campaign to convince President Obama to receive Hungary's Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, at the White House when he comes to Washington in October to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
Mr. Orbán has never received an official invitation to the Oval Office and President Obama has voiced serious concerns about the current direction of Hungary's leadership. Orbán's policies are considered racist and anti-Semitic; he declared that he doesn't want to see Muslim immigrants in his country. His corrupt cronyism has also raised eyebrows in the US.
Although a NATO member, Hungary is a small country and insignificant to US foreign policy. Lately Orbán's bombastic statements and policies have made headlines worldwide… and not in a good way! The majority of Hungarian-Americans are increasingly uncomfortable with Mr. Orbán and don't want to see him in Washington. An invitation to the White House would be seen as an acknowledgement of his xenophobic ideas and undoubtedly Orbán would advertise a handshake with President Obama as a seal of approval. Many of us feel that Orbán's leadership and Hungary's new Constitution are direct violations of the spirit of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Orbán is trying to destroy the very ideals Hungarians fought so hard for in 1956.
Yet, Mr. Béla Lipták and his small circle of friends think differently. Lipták is 80 years old and he administers an email service called the Hungarian Lobby. As a supporter of the Budapest government, he provides form-letters and encourages Hungarian-Americans to sign and email them to various US politicians. Now he is lobbying on behalf of Mr. Orbán.
Béla Lipták
In the past, I considered Lipták's activities pretty harmless. In fact, I thought how wonderful it is that a 56-er and 80-year-old grandfather can find something to be passionate about.
But lately Mr. Lipták has crossed the line. He has started to claim that he is the voice of 1.5 million Hungarian-Americans in the United States and recently he wrote a lengthy piece about the "Jewish question" in Hungary. This was so strange that I don't even want to discuss it.
He is a frequent name-dropper and in his form-letter to President Obama he mentions his own son, Adam Lipták, a talented legal correspondent to the New York Times who has published extensively on the legal saga of same-sex marriage legislation in the US.
Mr. Lipták might want to send a copy of his son's book to homophobic Mr. Orbán who supported the constitutional ban of same-sex unions in Hungary.
I wish Mr. Béla Lipták good health yet say that he is on the wrong track. The majority of Hungarian-Americans would not be honored if Mr. Orbán were to be invited to the White House on the 60th Anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
Mr. Orbán should stay at home in Budapest; he would feel more comfortable there.
György Lázár
Dear Mr. President!
Much before you were born, in 1956, I was a student in Budapest and fought against the occupation of Hungary by the brutal Red Empire of the Soviets. We fought for the American ideals of freedom, independence, democracy and self-determination. Several of my friends died and Hungary lost some 3% of her population because of the causalities and because of the people who escaped. They were all well-educated and young. That is like if we lost 10 million well educated young Americans. A terrible loss, terrible sacrifice!
Many of us came to the United States and during the last 60 years made major contributions (the freedom fighter George Oláh got the Nobel Prize, I wrote 22 technical books, – one with the introduction of Edward Teller -, you know my son Ádám, the Chief Legal Correspondent to the Supreme Court of the New York Times and Pulitzer finalist and many, many others).
I would like to respectfully ask that you to receive the prime minister of Hungary, when he comes to Washington to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution. I ask this not because you necessarily agree with all his politics, but to honor the memory and to remind our fellow Americans of the brave freedom fighters who died for our ideals and who showed what Communism really was and thereby mortally wounded it.
The 1.5 million Hungarian-Americans would be honored, if you did that.
Respectfully yours,

Author: György Lázár György Lázár came to the US in 1980 on a UNESCO fellowship to complete his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina. He later moved to California where he became mesmerized by the entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley and spent the next 25 years in high-tech consulting focusing on the financial aspects of technology. In the last couple of years he became a contributor to several Hungarian and English language publications. He and his wife enjoy spending time in Hungary, they try to go to Europe as often as they can.

Pls offer a form letter for those willing to dissuade the US administration from receiving the Hungarian dictator, who is likely the most corrupt PM in Europe.
Mr Liptak seems to have forgotten that his "fellow Americans of the brave freedom fighters who died for our ideals" did so a war against fascism, the same evil that the Organ regime is implicitly promoting.

The Hungarians also fought the Allies in WWII killing many US soldiers.
The city of Győr made many Messerschmidt 109 planes that killed many US and British soldiers.
Hungary has never ever expressed contrition like, for example, Germany or South Africa in it's conflicts.
And I won't mention the 400,000 Hungarians sent to extermination camps.
Orban has to join the human race- together with his supporters and fellow corrupt politicians – before he contaminates the hand of Obama.
He won't be allowed to come anywhere near the threshold of the White House.
Orban, in endorsing Trump, is Persona Non Grata.
And will be for his lifetime.
karl busch says:
Since Orban was the first (and only) European head of state to ENDORSE
Trump they should beg Trump for an audience.

Wonder how much is Soros paying for this article and the comments above?
on September 2, 2016 at 9:32 am
Talking about payments.
1. The foundations and NGOs mentioned file financial statements which are public.
But who paid/pays the millions of dollars spent by Peace March, the 888, Friends of America, etc. ?
By exclusion there is no other source of such, illegal BTW, financing but from the hundreds of millions embezzled by the orban regime.
2. The mentioned foundations and NGOs' projects, listed and clearly defined, are charitable or such promoting economic development and democracy.
What are the "projects" financed with Fidesz money?
– Spreading deception ("We shall not be a colony of Brussels""Hungary performs better"),
– Promoting hate (Bayer & co),
– Division (establishing their own puppet Hungarian parties in the neighboring countries) and
– Dictatorship/fascism (One camp one banner, celebrating Horthy, Wass, Nyiro and other assorted fascists).
I would take Soros and like any day.

Orban is an inspirational leader…… and he's a genuine leader as opposed to corporate puppets Obama and Merkel. US citizens with Hungarian roots, Hungary is a nation state. If you have any interest in Hungary remaining a country as such, you need to support Orban and oppose the Hungarian Nazi collaborator of Jewish ethnicity who participated in the persecution of Jews and who is now financing BLM, open borders activists, and numerous other destructive projects, including HRC, George Soros.

You arsiot! Hungary collaborated with the Nazis and sent 400,000 to the gas chambers.
George Soros is just a citizen with the same powers as other citizens with the right to hold his own views.
He is wealthy too – and has given his wealth to fund a university in Hungary known as the CEU.
Arsiot.

And this is an English language site, Erika.
However I doubt it's even worth translating……
Erika's is a pretty cretinous speculation about the future.
The painful present, however, is here upon us in Hungary: we are being "lead" down the path of poverty, social and intellectual degradation, while being robbed of our existing wealth and rights, speeding the destruction of the nation.
For all the primitive propaganda, "nemzeti" grandstanding and smoke screens, Hungary has never been in a worse position in the region or in Europe for the last 40+ years.
Gyorgy dr. Pintye says:
I suggesting to Mr.Bela Liptak invite Mr. Donald Trump to Washington to the celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution. Orban is an inspirational leader, he's a genuine leader as opposed to corporate puppets Obama and Merkel. Since Orban was the first (and only) European head of state to ENDORSE Mr. Donald Trump, Mr Trump will be happy to meat with Mr. Orban. This is the only leaders on the world working against the radical Islam terrorists and build the wall to defend the country against illegals.
In 1944 Soros was 14 years old and using false ID to survive in Budapest. His father saved many by providing false ID-s and hiding places.
For "Erika & dr Pinty" you probably know the Hungarian saying: God's zoo is enormous…….
András B. Göllner says:
@ György Lázár
That, my dear Lázár Gyuri, was a serious mistake. Lipták has been an energetic and aggressive supporter of Orbán's affinity fraud for well over a decade. Those who are suffering the injustices of Orbán's rule of law violations, corrupt practices, those who have to witness the devaluation of Hungary's reputation within the community of democratic nations, have a lot to thank Mr Lipták and his friends for, within the American-Hungarian diaspora. Orbán is not the torch-carrier of '56 but of Vladimir Putin, the ex-KGB kingpin. Everyone who has a spare moment and a conscience for the victims of '56, should look up the address of the White House on the internet, grab a pen, and write a brief note on a piece of paper, to the American President, and ask him not to honor the man who stole the spirit of 1956, and is now busy honoring racist hate mongers like Bayer, with the country's Medal of Honor.

obvious commie bolshevik site
@tom pintye & co
There are no migrants or refugeed in Hungary, NONE, ZERO. All leave ASAP for W. Europe.
This hoolabaloo is a smoke screen to cover up the grand orgy of corruption and to distract society from their being subjugated by the emerging fascist regime.
While the regime wages war against mirages in the background more billions are being embezzled every week.
The first priority is to get rid of the real and present danger, every patriot should fight the orban Mafia which is bleeding the country dry while managing to bungle almost every attempt to lead the country anywhere .
What a sad site. So much leftist nonsense. Charlie London are you a proxy for the site's creator because you haven't had an original thought since you started posting. Maybe you should consider gardening instead. –A place to bury your hostilities…
So how long have I been posting them, Mo?
(Answer came there none.)
So what's so "Free" about a "Press" that conscripts a word like "moderation" when it really means "censorship" Moderate that!

"1944" was the best year of my life, claimed the renegade..
While my grandparents, my father and his first wife and child were tricked into getting on MAV trains with their goons, Nyillas and murderers stealing the Hungarian Jewish citizens belongings, and then shoved into cattle trains, this short, an ugly renegade made his future with telling the highest Nazis of the Jews addresses… We know the rest. Even the human rights ( a corrupt, anti semitic entity in Strassbourg, of course, where else?!) is turning the left cheek ( paid off) against crimes against humanity towards traitors of their own people. Hell has a special place.
The old, Alzheimer's suffering Liptak belongs only in Hungary!
If all the mindless fideszniks' did have their heads so deep up Orban's, they would have seen that they are being badly screwed behind the garish and noisy "nemzeti" stage.
I wouldn't mind them pursuing satisfaction this way, but we also have to walk in the brown muck there.

The provision of fort-annexes on the Antonine Wall
Geoff Bailey (Author)
Wall Forts, Antonine Wall

A paper suggesting that temporary bath houses were provided in the Wall forts until a planned vallum could be completed behind the Wall. Once the vallum plan was abandoned annexes were attached to each fort and the internal bath houses demolished to be replaced by larger bathing complexes.

Q: adding header will not make a file download It's pretty well documented that adding a header is the way to make a link downloadable, but I must be doing something wrong. I write the file, and then produce some HTML linking to it, but the file will not download, only appear in the browser.
<?

   //unique id
   $unique = time();

   $test_name = "HTML_for_test_" . $unique . ".txt";

   //I should put the file name I want the header attached to here (?)
   header("Content-disposition: attachment;filename=$test_name");

   $test_handler = fopen($test_name, 'w') or die("no");

   fwrite($test_handler, $test);
   fclose($test_handler);

?>

<a href="<?=$test_name">Download File

A: Well you are just echoing an HTML tag - you should read the file content instead, like proposed on PHP Doc:
<?php
$file = 'monkey.gif';

if (file_exists($file)) {
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($file);
    exit;
}
?>

A: After much testing, this is the combination that I came up with and it has worked in all my projects ever since.
Program to handle download requests
 <?php

// Do all neccessary security checks etc to make sure the user is allowed to download the file, etc..

//

 $file = '/path/to/your/storage/directory' . 'the_stored_filename';
 $filesize = filesize($file);
 header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
 header("Content-type: application/forcedownload");
 header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"filename_to_display.example\"");
 header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
 header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
 header('Pragma: public');
 header("Content-length: ".$filesize);
 ob_clean();
 flush();
 readfile("$file");
 exit;

EDIT
The above code would go into it's own file, for example 'download.php'.  Then you would change the download link on your other page to something like:
 <a href="download.php?filename=<?php echo $test_name; ?>">Download File

You will also need to modify the php code above so that it works in your situation.  In the example I just gave you would want to change this line:
  $file = '/path/to/your/storage/directory' . 'the_stored_filename';

To this:
  $file = $_get['filename'];

would work at a most basic level.  You would want to sanitize the value of $_get['filename'] before just blindly using it in any production environment.
If you want to present the download in the same page that the user is requesting it from then look at my answer to this post: Dowloading multiple PDF files from javascript

Tristen Robins #11 (Photo by Christopher Mast/Getty Images)
Creating the best Team Canada with current NHL players by Dave Stevenson
Will the NHL ever have their own Bobby Bonilla situation? by Ant Barberio
Tampa Bay Lightning: 7-round 2020 NHL mock draft
by Kyle Pereira 6 months ago Follow @pereira_report
As the guy who covers the draft and the Tampa Bay Lightning, I decided to do a Lightning-specific mock draft.
If you have missed parts 1 and 2, then you may be confused with how I found certain players in certain spots, and how I determined them as Tampa Bay Lightning draft fits. Check those out if you need it for a reference. Here's part 1 and here's part 2.
Without further ado, here's my mock-up of a Lightning-specific 7-round mock draft!
59th Overall: Tristen Robins, C, Saskatoon Blades
Ottawa Senators: Tim Stützle announces his arrival in the perfect fashion
Jacob Markstrom pitched his first perfect game with the Calgary Flames
Colorado Avalanche prove that they could well be the real deal in 2020-21
New Jersey Devils: Lindy Ruff's defense can hang with the best
Boston Bruins: Only one man can save the B's at 5-on-5 after Devils loss
If you follow my Twitter, then you know about my love for the Saskatoon Blades point leader this season. Tristen Robins has flown far under the radar this season, largely due to a lackluster rookie year in 2018-19, playing limited minutes on a stacked Saskatoon team.
This season, he was given a chance to play top minutes and took full advantage, recording 33 goals and 40 assists for 73 points in 62 WHL games. He graded out as the 8th best fit among WHL forwards and the 18th best fit among CHL forwards. Also, he graded out positively as a fit with Tampa.
Robins's biggest strength is his skating. He is technically sound and can shoot, pass, and stickhandle at high speed. He also has excellent edges, able to accelerate effortlessly and decelerate efficiently, making him lethal to defend against on the rush.
He is well balanced, with strong offensive skills and a reliable defensive game, but overall is still fairly raw. But he doesn't get nearly enough credit from scouts and experts, which could lead to him being the next big steal in the second or even third round.
89th Overall: Tyler Tullio, C, Oshawa Generals
If I'm being honest, I don't believe Tyler Tullio would fall this far. Similar to Robins, Tullio has been getting talked about more and more. He's been a riser recently, and for good reason. Tullio is the 16th best fit for Tampa among CHL forwards, and 10th among OHL forwards. He, like Robins, graded out positively as a fit for Tampa Bay.
One of the biggest knocks on Tullio is his small stature, as he is just 5'9″ and 161 pounds. He may not hold up as a center at the next level, potentially moving to the wing in the future. His creativity and playmaking are among the things that make him stand out the most, but it's his work ethic and with how he constantly keeps his legs moving. His high upside makes him intriguing, but he does have a low floor, making him a bit of a risky pick. However, he possesses enough for teams to take a risk, especially at this point in the draft.
This past season with Oshawa, Tullio recorded 27 goals and 39 assists for 66 points in 62 games, which was a 24 point improvement from the season before, while playing in just two more games.
90th Overall: Simon Kubicek, RHD, Seattle Thunderbirds
Kubicek is a 6'2″, 203-pound right-handed defenseman, hailing from the Czech Republic. This season he recorded 7 goals and 20 assists for 27 points in 52 games with the Thunderbirds in the WHL. He ranked as the 3rd best fit among WHL defensemen and the 9th best fit among all CHL defenders, grading out positively as a fit for the Lightning.
Kubicek is a jack of all trades, master of none type of player. He can play on the power play and get shots to the net. He can play physical at both ends of the ice. He plays a very safe game, always looking to get back on defense first. He is also a strong transitional defenseman, which is something I really look for in defensemen.
When you look at Kubicek and then back at the Lightning defense core, he could easily be a strong bottom-line RHD that the Lightning currently don't have in the ranks. He also has second-pair upside and could challenge someone like Erik Cernak or Cal Foote for that spot, especially if the Lightning continue to be tight to the cap ceiling. However, he would likely round out as a key depth piece for many years, with special teams upside.
94th Overall: Lukas Prokop, RHD, Calgary Hitmen
Prokop is a 6'4″, 219-pound right-handed defenseman out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. With Calgary in the WHL, Prokop recorded 4 goals and 19 assists for 23 points in 59 games.
Prokop ranked as the 8th best fit among WHL defensemen and the 13th best fit among CHL defensemen. He graded out almost exactly even with the average Lightning draftee. Despite not being a "positive" fit, Prokop meets the average mark overall for what Tampa Bay looks for in defensive prospects.
Prokap is a really good skater, especially for his large frame. He has good speed and balance, but even more important, he has great edges and agility, allowing him to open up and cleanly go from skating forwards to backwards. It also allows him to walk the blue line in the offensive zone, opening up passing and shooting lanes.
While he hasn't put up a ton of points in juniors, he does have the skill set to be a potential breakout player before he leaves the WHL. But his defensive abilities are what makes him stand out.
He does an excellent job forcing the opposition to the outside and protecting the slot. He does use his big frame by laying big hits, but only when he knows it won't cost his team a scoring chance against. If the Lightning take both him and Kubicek, they could battle for that 3rd pair spot on the left side.
121st Overall: Ryder Rolston, RW, Waterloo Black Hawks
Rolston is a 6'1", 175-pound right winger for the USHL's Waterloo Black Hawks. This past season, he recorded 16 goals and 17 assists for 33 points in 42 games. He is committed to the University of Notre Dame for next season in the NCAA, where he will look to make a big developmental step in his game. Rolston was the second-best fit for the Lightning among USHL forwards.
His strongest attribute is his skating ability. He has high-end acceleration and edges that allow him to blow past defenders or slow down and give himself more space entering the offensive zone. Basically, he is a very manipulative skater, and defenders tend to struggle with how to defend against him on the rush.
Rolston is a shooter. He has a strong shooting ability but tends to just chuck shots at the net from low-danger areas when there were potentially other options if he had just picked up his head and searched for it.
Overall, he is a safe player with the puck and he takes what he sees in front of him when it comes to moving the puck. He isn't someone who will look to thread the needle for a one-timer opportunity or exploit defenses with dangerous passing attempts. When pressured, he tends to ditch the play by passing it off to someone else rather than try to get past that attacker.
Defensively, Rolston puts forth a lot of effort. He displays strong positional awareness and knows how to use his stick to block passing and shooting lanes. He is still very raw in this area, but the effort and overall awareness show he has something to build off of.
However, his upside is limited due to his safer style of play and almost one-dimensional offensive capabilities. But I do like this pick here because he does have some intriguing raw skills and already has excellent skating ability, which is very important to me when looking for later round guys.
157th Overall: Pavel Gogolev, LW, Guelph Storm
Gogolev is a 20-year-old Russian left-winger who stands at 6'1" and 179 pounds. He has played 4 full OHL seasons, 2 and a half with the Peterborough Petes and 1 and a half with Guelph. His production went from 11 points in year one, to 47 in year 2, and 28 in year 3, where he missed a large portion of games.
In his fourth season, however, he broke out in a massive way. He put up 45 goals and 51 assists for 96 points in 63 games played this season. Gogolev is the 3rd best fit for the Lightning among OHL forwards, and the 7th best fit among CHL forwards.
His offensive game, especially this past season, is what shines. If you give Gogolev space, he has a shot that has the power and accuracy to beat goalies consistently. If you pressure him and leave a teammate open in a dangerous area, Gogolev will find that teammate and set up a scoring chance. His vision and passing ability is a threat on its own, but given his shot is even better, he is a dual-threat offensive player.
His positional awareness and hockey IQ aren't exactly at a high level and needs a decent amount of work before he could even consider being an NHL player. His skating also isn't the best, but if the Lightning draft the way I have thus far, they've already taken strong skaters with raw overall skills, so why not throw a curveball a little later and take a guy with strong offensive skills that need some tweaking with his skating? Sure, he is a project, but he has the tools to potentially be a solid draft pick in the future.
183rd Overall: Brady Burns, C/LW, Saint John Sea Dogs
Burns, like with Robins and Tullio, is a smaller forward, standing at 5'10" and 161 pounds. Playing for the Sea Dogs in the QMJHL, Burns had a somewhat breakout season, going from 29 points in 65 games in his rookie season to 57 points in 64 games this season. Burns is the 5th best fit for Tampa Bay among QMJHL forwards and the 30th best fit among CHL forwards.
Burns provides versatility, having played both on the wing and down the middle in the junior level. His biggest strength is his stickhandling abilities and offensive awareness. He's good at finding the open spaces in the offensive zone and is creative when finding ways to create space himself.
The biggest knock on Burns, however, is his lack of physical ability to go along with his slight stature. He is also not the best, at all, in the defensive zone, where he is often exposed. DobberProspects' Brayden Olafson said this about Burns' weaknesses, "At 5-7, he doesn't have the physical tools or two-way awareness to compensate, so I think he likely tops out as a skilled minor league asset." Despite that, Burns, to me, is worth the flier at this point in the draft.
214th Overall: Rhett Rhinehart, RHD, Saskatoon Blades
Rhinehart is a big defenseman, standing at 6'4" and 205 pounds. He has played just one full season with a single team in his junior career, splitting the 2017-18 season with the Prince Albert Raiders and the Prince George Cougars, playing the full 2018-19 season in Prince George, then getting traded once more mid-way through the shortened 2019-20 season to Saskatoon.
Despite that, he combined for 3 goals and 15 assists for 18 points in 57 games this past season. He ranked as the 4th best fit among WHL defensemen for Tampa and the 10th best fit among CHL defensemen.
For a player to get dealt twice, being far away from home as it is and never having a chance to truly settle in with a billet family, teammates, and a coaching staff, that weighs you down.
However, Rhinehart still flashes some potential, at least to me, especially with how smoothly he transitioned from Prince George to Saskatoon. He played as almost a fourth forward with the Cougars, often jumping up ice and joining the rush, but with the Blades, he played a more defensively-focused game and still looked good.
He plays a very physical brand of hockey, often stepping up to lay a hit on the opposition as they enter the offensive zone. He also looks to finish his checks along the boards. He does get a bit carried away from time to time, but he has shown recently a bit more control and discipline. He still displays awareness, knowing when to race up ice with teammates to push for offense.
Next: 2020 NHL Mock Draft
Rhinehart possesses a strong shot as well, which he'll look to build on and produce more off of. If he stays the full season next year in Saskatoon, I expect a breakout season, and taking a flier on a potential breakout candidate who has been overlooked, seems like a smart move for Tampa.

According to our sources, while the two talk every day, reconciliation is not in the cards. We're told they try to see each other once a week, sometimes with the kids and other times alone because they've become friends again.
We're told the divorce process has been easy -- it helps when there's a prenup -- but any sort of romantic relationship is ancient history. They both feel they're better off as friends.

Comradeship, chivalry, candour, loyalty, devotion, patriotism are a few of the words written in the Hall of Memory, which houses the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the War Memorial in Canberra. They are also words which reflect qualities that were seen in the Year 6 students on our inaugural Year 6 Leadership Camp to Canberra last week. The students represented the College and their families with great pride, magnificent manners and remarkable respect for one another.
Whilst on this amazing trip, we participated in a variety of educational programs on Australia's history, culture, heritage and democracy. We visited the New and Old Parliament Houses, the War Memorial, CSIRO, Questacon, Government House, the National Film and Sound Archives, the National Portrait Gallery, the National Museum, the National Dinosaur Museum, the Royal Australian Mint and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).
We also managed to fit in some more relaxing activities, such as going bowling, walking around Cockington Green Gardens and visiting Mount Ainslie. At the end of each day, we also enjoyed some peaceful time in our warm accommodation and the whole group shared a very special reflection called the Examen. During this quiet time the students reflected on their experiences during the day they were most grateful for, the experience that perhaps they could have handled better and an attitude of the heart they could commit to the following day.
Congratulations and appreciation to Mrs Fry, Miss Coniglio, Mr Casey, Mr Moylan, Mr Edwards, Mrs Scott and Mrs Joyce who accompanied our Year 6 students to Canberra. Also, special thanks to Mrs Philpot for all her hard work behind the scenes in preparation for this trip. We hope you enjoy looking at some of our beautiful photos of our wonderful week of travel and independent living from our young travellers and superb staff.
The Year 5 classes attended a matinee performance of Mary Poppins on Wednesday. This excursion will be followed up with literacy activities in the Library with Mrs Gardner. The students thoroughly enjoyed the musical and can still be heard singing 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' in the playground! The following positive reviews were provided by our students.
Yesterday our Year Five and Six students participated in the first round of IPSHA Winter fixtures leading towards the Carnival. The teams had a successful afternoon competing with Loreto. Congratulations to the teams for supporting each other and demonstrating good sportsmanship. Not only did our students demonstrate exemplary behaviour but they also showed off their sporting prowess, with a win in hockey, and very close games in soccer and netball.
This morning the primary school community started the day with a beautiful Mass. Special thanks to Mrs Fontaine, Mrs Walker and the students from 5B for the work that they put into preparing this lovely liturgy. I would also like to thank the many parents and friends who joined us in the chapel. Fr Gaetan reminded all of us that yesterday was the Feast of "Our Lady Help of Christians" and this Sunday is Pentecost Sunday.
Congratulations to all the Year Three and Five students who participated in the NAPLAN Assessments last week. I'm so proud that the students have all done so well to sit for extended periods of time, remaining focused and trying their very best during the literacy and numeracy assessments. Although these National Assessments are important, we all need to remember that the tests are only a snapshot of students learning in a particular Learning Area on a given day. Our students' learning and development occurs throughout the whole year during all their years in Primary School.
Finally, thank you to all our families for the care and consideration that is taking place in our car parks before and after school. It is important that we always remember that young children are not predictable and in order for them to stay safe, we need to be very aware of the need to drive slowly in the car parks. In turn, we also ask that all parents keep their children close by them when walking to their cars and only park in designated parking bays.
