Fuel_the_Flames Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Any word on assistant coaches yet ? Very bottom of the Bouwmeester article. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283463''>http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283463' target="_blank">http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283463[/post] NOTES: The Flames added Rob Cookson to the coaching staff as an assistant to Brent. . . Jared Bednar and Steve O'Rourke were named assistant coaches to Jim Playfair on their AHL team. Whoever they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Jared Bednar Steve O'Rourke (The latter is not to be confused with the deceased Steve O'Rourke, former manager of Pink Floyd.) Our Steve O'Rourke comes to the Abbotsford Heat from the Okanagan Hockey School where he was the Operations Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parktonboy Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Worst name for a team ever? Especially one that is located in a temperate rainforest? They named the team based on fan suggestions, but I'm thinking they just randomly chose the worst one. By the way, the 4 finalists were Abbotsford Heat, Abbotsford Flames, Abbotsford Ice Hawks and Abbotsford Storm. http://www2.canada.com/abbotsfordtimes/news/story.html?id=81e8673c-3d6b-4288-a0f0-b60658324bce' target="_blank">http://www2.canada.com/abbotsfordtimes/new...f0-b60658324bce[/post] i still prefer mine.. abottsford ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserboi Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I wonder if Abbotsford will last unlike the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 The Heat have announced their schedule breakdown. Highlights includes four home games vs. the Moose.

monstersfan Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I look forward to seeing the Heat here in Cleveland (Lake Erie Monsters). Honestly, those are some cool jerseys/logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutarna Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Is anyone else a little worried about the travel this team will have to go through to even see its opponents? The closest team by far is the Moose and they're 1800 km away. The Admirals (closest after the Moose) are 2700 km and the worst offender is Portland at a whopping 4000km. Sucks? They'll be on a plane a lot I'm guessing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Oh its going to be rough. That was a huge contention with putting the team there. In fact if i'm not mistaken the Abbotsford group/the Flames, actually are paying to subsidise the increased travel costs to the league. Its not a very convient location, but I think they will have some good success. They had a great turnout for their first preseason game and what reading the fans were actually quite excited about the Heat, even though they were playing the Moose which some thought might get a bigger ovation being the Canucks farm team and all.

cannedice99 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 The travel is really brutal, not only with the distance, but also with the scheduling of games. Example, Oct 23-25 / Feb 19-21 / Mar 19-21, three games in three nights on the road (three times), a nine game road trip Feb 12-27, and a total of 30 back-to-backs (not including the 3 3-in-3's). There will be huge challenges to overcome, and although we really like the look of this team, and think they can make the playoffs (myself included), fatigue will be the greatest opponent the Heat will face.

kyuusei Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Abbotsford is playing UBC's hockey team on Wednesday night (if anyone's in Vancouver...) I hope to go up to UBC and watch. I'd rather go out there than Abbotsford itself, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutarna Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I live on campus at UBC so I walked over to watch. It was a decent game, UBC seemed intimidated to start and got down 3-0 but fought back to 3-2. They really drove for that tying goal and Abbotsford looked weak in the last few minutes. It seemed the Heat would give up on fights along the boards really quick comparatively. Specific players of note: -Backlund powered through several of the smaller UBC players but seemed to lose his touch on the puck a lot when trying to finesse by them. -Sutter did not play? -Greetree looked strong and fast. Skating was very smooth, acceleration was quick, but he still wasn't always in the right place to get/give the puck. More info later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannedice99 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Also worthy of note, Keetley started and played the shutout, then Irving came in midway in the second, and let in two. Take it as you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard some of the ubc players were getting a bit rough without cause - sort of loose cannonish - and the heat HAD to back off in order to avoid unnecessary career ending injuries?

cannedice99 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's Game Day! The Heat open their inaugural season this weekend with a two game set vs. the San Antonio Rampage (Phoenix). After going 3-0 in the preseason, and having a week off since their last game, the boys in red are ready to go for tonite. Puck drops at 7:30 pm. C'mon boys, let's start it right! GO HEAT GO!
