Whanganui District Council s Youth Committee held its first meeting of the year on Monday. Photo / Ethan Griffiths It was an exciting introduction into the world of governance for Whanganui s newly selected youth councillors on Monday, with 2021 s first meeting giving a group of young leaders their first glimpse into the role of council.
The Youth Committee was established in 2006 in an effort to give young people between the ages of 12 and 24 the opportunity to have their voices heard around the council table.
In a game where the Chicago Blackhawks had nothing to play for, they at least put together an effort bookended with stretches of quality hockey. The Carolina Hurricanes still came up on the winning end tonight in a 6-3 game, but Chicago showed a resilience and a G.A.F. attitude that was missing last night. Chicago is now 2-4-1 in their seven meetings agains the Hurricanes this season with the regular season series finale coming on Thursday night. It will also be the final road game of the season for the Blackhawks. With the loss, the Blackhawks are 0-5-1 over their last six games.
The Chicago Blackhawks aren’t in a position where they
need wins any longer, but getting a consistent effort against a quality team would be nice to see, as they finish their 2021 season.
• With a 6-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes last night, the Blackhawks extend their losing streak to six games, going 0-5-1 over that stretch and having lost three-straight in regulation. They are already eliminated from the Central Division playoff picture and if the season ended today, would have the 11th pick in the NHL Draft based on points percentage.
• This statement from head coach Jeremy Colliton last night doesn’t sound like anything bad, the Blackhawks are an inferior team to the Hurricanes, but it’s the fact that we are 53 games into a 56-game season and the Blackhawks are still working to find a consistent effort.
