It won’t be hard to keep tabs on the Calgary Flames’ prospects in this year’s world junior tourney, as they only have one. But that’s not to say the Flames are short on top young players.

The soul of Canucks minor hockey
.for more than 20 years, Rod Brathwaite has been running the show for Canucks minor hockey programs by Derek Jory @NoJoryous / Contract writer
If Rod Brathwaite had kept his eyes on the prize, he believes his chances of becoming an NHL goalie were good. His younger brother Fredrick defied the odds with his short stature and cat like reflexes to make it as a NHL puck stopper, retiring with 254 games played between four teams from 1993 to 2004.
What a family goaltending tandem they could have been.
Brathwaite doesn t look back with remorse, however. His inability to stay focused and on track with sports led to an unexpected career helping thousands of others stay focused and on track with sports - including his brother.
The Record
Stockton Unified is again looking for a leader after interim Superintendent Brian Biedermann announced his resignation with “great regret” five months before his contract was set to expire.
Citing health complications, Biedermann, an administrator with the district for more than 20 years, said he wanted to reset his priorities and spend more time with his young children. Biedermann provided 30-days notice of his resignation. There have been no immediate discussions by the Board of Trustees to replace Biederman; neither has the process for finding a permanent district superintendent begun. Biedermann is the district’s 13th superintendent in slightly more than 30 years and his interim appointment followed a series of controversial moves at SUSD.
Due to cross-border travel restrictions, the Calgary Flames AHL affiliate, the Stockton Heat, will play home games out of the Scotiabank Saddledome this season.
