Jason Jaffray has played with quite a few teams during his hockey career, and he’s always proven to be a plus ... in more ways than one.

The captain of the St. John’s IceCaps has suited up with 11 different clubs in a 10-year professional career, including six in the American Hockey League. In all, the 30-year-old winger has played 402 AHL games and has an impressive overall rating of plus-82 in the league, an indication of the two-way game he brings to the ice each and every night, along with leadership.

In fact, Jaffray has never had a rating worse than minus-two  during any single stretch with a team, and all those minuses have come in shorts stays of 15 games or less. Give him a full season, or something close to it,

Devils Retire Scott Niedermayer's # 27

NEWARK, N.J. -- Scott Niedermayer spoke with the same type of grace with which he played.

On a night in New Jersey that belonged to him and his No. 27, Niedermayer took several minutes out of his speech to thank so many people, including many from the Devils organization, both alive and deceased, to the training staff, former teammates, ex-coaches, the evening's MC, Mike Emrick -- and his family, even the one that housed him when he first came to New Jersey in 1991 as an 18-year-old.

At the same time, the Devils did all they could to thank Niedermayer, making Friday night at Prudential Center all his as they sent his No. 27 up to the rafters to join Scott Stevens' No. 4 and Ken Daneyko's No. 3 --  not to mention the Stanley Cup championship banners from 1995, 2000 and 2003 that the three of them helped to win.

submitted by edgehockey on tue, 2012-01-17 20:48

After another great year in 2011, we will build on that in 2012. We have made some changes to the line-up for our 2012 hockey schools and we hope this will make every ones experience at one of our hockey schools that much better.

We always striving to have the best hockey school experience for all our participants. We have found in the past two years some of our smaller school were having a had to meeting this. The small group sized forced us to group more levels of hockey players in one group, therefore you may have had players 3 years apart in age.

Even though they would not be doing the same activities during the ice sessions or in our off ice activities it was becoming more difficult to run a school like this and we felt it was not to the level we expected from our schools.
