Prospects Perspective: Building Team Chemistry – BlueJackets.com

Developing NHL players no doubt requires significant attention to skating and stick-on-puck skills, plus building up strength and size to compete amid the physicality of today's game. But a vital ingredient of winning hockey is establishing team chemistry at the American Hockey League and ECHL affiliate levels.

Two Kraken developing pros, Connor Carrick and Cale Fleury (recently added to the Seattle taxi squad) are exhibiting the team-first mentality and resilience general manager Ron Francis and the Kraken hockey operations group seek in all prospects and developing players.

The COVID-19 pandemic severely shortened the list of available players for the Checkers in recent games. Carrick and Fleury played monster minutes as the only two regular Charlotte defensemen able to suit up for a recent 4-1 comeback victory. More impressively, Carrick and Fleury mentored four defensemen and a goalie during the win, all playing up a level on player tryouts and learning the Charlotte systems of play shift by shift in a regular season game.

"They took on a huge role [guiding the young defensemen], but the game is about opportunity," Checkers head coach Geordie Kinnear said. "Opportunity is what you make of it. You have to do the work prior to make the most of it. These guys continue to make the most of their opportunity.

With Charlotte down 1-0, Carrick put his team on the board with a shorthanded goal during an early third-period power play. The Checkers bench and home crowd roared at the momentum-changing score. Charlotte forward and Kraken developing pro Kole Lind tallied the game-winning second goal.

"I thought our leaders really stepped up in the third period," Kinnear told Checkers reporter Nicholas Niedzielski. "You look at Connor and you look at 'Flower' [Fleury]. They really took it to another level for us. It was a great third period. We found a way to win."

It marked Carrick's fifth goal of the year. He was more focused on the boost for his teammates. The Checkers are now 11-6 since the beginning of January with Carrick and Fleury contributing in meaningful ways to the winning culture.

"We wanted to get it to 1-1 and we didn't like where we were at," Carrick said. "It just kind of levels the game a little bit. A lot of their best players are going to be on the power play, so you throw a dagger like that and now they're on their heels."

NCAA No. 3 Michigan split last weekend's series with Big Ten Conference rival, No. 11 Minnesota, losing in a shootout the first night and winning the second game behind a game-winning goal and an assist from Kraken top prospect Matty Beniers.

The Wolverines travel to Madison, Wisc., this weekend to face the Wisconsin Badgers. After the weekend set, Beniers will meet up with his Team USA Olympics teammates in Los Angeles and a subsequent flight to Beijing for the Winter Games.

The Kraken's second-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, defenseman Ryker Evans, likely thought he would be traveling himself. There was significant media speculation that Evans would be traded from the Western Hockey League's Regina Pats to another WHL team before the league's trade deadline Jan. 14.

But instead, Evans will lead Regina in its push to make the WHL playoffs. Every standings point counts, so despite losing in a shootout last week, Evans and his power-play teammates were successful enough to get the game into overtime and notch a point in the standings. Evans, the Pats' man-advantage "quarterback," scored a goal on one power play and added an assist on another.

Evans and the power play continued the momentum in a 4-0 win Tuesday, with Evans assisting on a man-advantage goal, which proved to be the game-winner. He leads the Pats in scoring with six goals and 31 assists in 34 games.

When Max McCormick rejoined AHL Charlotte after his callup to the Kraken, the forward made himself quite comfortable in the lineup. He scored two goals and notched three assists in three games, earning him Charlotte's First Star of the Week.

McCormick's scoring prowess included a wraparound goalthat evened the score in the Checkers' other win against two losses in a four-game week. Kraken developing pro Carsen Twarynski (three goals, 10 assists) scored a shorthanded goal to ice the victory.

Chemistry Professor’s Team Wins Share of $20M in UC’s National Lab Funding – UC Davis

Chemistry professor Louise Berben is the lead principal investigator for one of five UC-wide research projects recently awarded nearly $19 million in grants by the UC National Laboratory Fees Research Program.

As announced Jan. 18 by the UC Office of the President, the research program distributed $20 million in all, including two-year in-residence fellowships to seven Ph.D. students, three of them from UC Davis, for research at the Livermore and Los Alamos national labs.

The program is funded by a portion of the fees that UC receives for managing the Livermore and Los Alamos labs on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy. Each systemwide project involves multiple campuses and at least one UC-affiliated national lab.

The Berben team received its grant for Direct Production of Renewable Fuels and Chemicals From Captured CO2, an effort to develop new ways to divert CO2 from waste streams and convert it into clean, renewable fuels and other useful products. Collaborating with UC Davis are the Berkeley, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside and Santa Barbara campuses, and the Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore labs.

The project spans chemistry, chemical engineering and prototype-scale manufacturing with significant opportunities for interdisciplinary training of graduate and undergraduate students, Berben said.

Here are the other funded projects, including two with Davis campus collaboration:

Read a summary of each project here.

With this allocation, the UC National Laboratory Fees Research Program has now distributed more than $190 million in competitive peer-reviewed grants since it began in 2008. The program fosters collaboration among the campuses and labs while addressing different strategic areas of research.

For the 2022 funding cycle, the program identified its strategic priorities as clean, renewable energy and decarbonization; frontiers of mesoscale materials and high energy density science; and pandemic preparedness and biosecurity. More than half the funds went to projects like Berbens that can help California meet its climate goals.

The UC National Laboratory Fees Research Program awarded fellowships to the following UC Davis Ph.D. students, each listed with their field of study, project title and the lab where they will be in residence:

The fellowships provide unique opportunities for UC students to work with leading scientists and gain exposure to facilities and equipment that are only available at the national labs, said Craig Leasure, UCs vice president for the national labs.

In fact, some of the top scientists at the national labs began their careers as students at UC and developed skills and expertise through research collaborations between the two institutions, he said.

The UC National Lab Fees Research Program does so much for both UC and the national labs, Leasure said. The fellowships are a great example of how UC is cultivating the next generation of scientists and national security experts.

The UC Office of the President contributed to this report.

DESE votes to phase out chemistry and technology/engineering MCAS subject tests by 2024 – MassLive.com

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Board voted Tuesday to phase out two of the four MCAS high school science and technology/engineering subject tests. These exams are currently available for students to meet competency determination requirements for graduation.

Continued low and declining testing participation met by significant costs to develop the new tests contributed to the decision. The board said at Decembers meeting that most students take either the biology or introductory physics MCAS test, with only 3% of students taking the chemistry or technology/engineering exams.

Eliminating the tests will not eliminate courses in chemistry and technology/engineering. Data presented by the board suggests that in the 2020-2021 school year, 23,594 students took a course in technology/engineering and 67,814 students took chemistry.

Our high school MassCore requirements include three years of a laboratory science, so most students will have opportunities to take either or both of these subjects, the board said.

Before the vote, board member Paymon Rouhanifard of Brookline said he planned on voting to pass the proposal, but said he believes schools should measure what they value and that they are devaluing chemistry and technology/engineering learning. He added that he understands the rationale but wants schools to find another way to measure progress.

I think its a sad day that were taking this vote. Thats not to say that there arent great answers out there in the future and I hope this prompts some bigger dialogue, Rouhanifard said.

Secretary of Education James Peyser agreed with Rouhanifard, saying he recognizes the lack of interest in the subject tests but doesnt want to send a message that chemistry and technology/engineering dont matter. He added that DESE plans to support and strengthen high-quality coursework with science and technology, including testing.

The proposal to phase out the tests stated that schools would continue to offer them for two additional years in spring 2022 and spring 2023 to accommodate students and schools who still participate in the chemistry and technology/engineering tests regularly.

This deferred elimination allows students in the class of 2025 (who are in 9th grade this year) to take either of these two tests at the end of either 9th or 10th grade and gives high schools time to adjust their course sequences if needed, the board said.

Beginning in 2024, chemistry and technology/engineering tests would no longer be available, and only tests in biology and introductory physics would be offered to students in the class of 2026 and beyond.

Students in the class of 2025 will be allowed to submit performance appeals in chemistry and technology/engineering during the transition, however.

DESE plans to make the announcement this winter to provide fair notice to students and high schools so they can alter courses with the change.

Cleveland Cavaliers: The perfect blend of talent and chemistry — Chris Fedor – cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- David vs. Goliath. Big brother vs. little brother. Varsity vs. Junior Varsity. Rocky vs. Drago.

In each of the previous three seasons, thats what a matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks -- the NBAs winningest team since 2018 and a Central Division juggernaut -- wouldve felt like for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Not anymore.

This is not the Cleveland we knew in the past years, reigning Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo said following the Cavaliers 115-99 statement win Wednesday night. Theyre a good team. They have a better record than us right now. Its a team that weve got to be careful, weve got to scout better and make sure we respect them even more now. Theyre a playoff team and theyre fighting for the title themselves.

Think about what Antetokounmpo said for a minute. It wouldve been unfathomable last season when the Cavaliers collapsed after a surprising start. It wouldve led to cackling months ago when they were once again predicted to finish near the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Whos laughing now?

Certainly not the defending champion Bucks, who fell to fourth behind third-place Cleveland in the standings and, for the moment, lost grip of the season tiebreaker, something that could loom large as April draws near. Not the Brooklyn Nets, another team that Cleveland recently beat and leapfrogged in the standings. Not the New York Knicks or Atlanta Hawks, a pair of playoff teams a year ago that Cleveland has displaced.

The Cavs are legit. Everyone in the league knows it. Time to shift to a much more pertinent question: Whats their ceiling?

I dont think we know the answer to that, Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff told cleveland.com following the game. I know the future is bright but there are so many experiences we havent faced as a group that this years story cant be predicted. We have to keep passing tests and accepting challenges in order to see where we can ultimately go.

Wednesday was the latest. Its the biggest win of the post-LeBron James era.

The Cavs led mighty Milwaukee by as much as 21. Over the final 22-plus minutes, the Bucks never got within single digits. There was a 30-point discrepancy from 3-point range and almost a 40-point gap in bench scoring. The Bucks were held to 38% shooting over the final three quarters.

We feel that if we play hard and stay true to our system that we can beat anybody, Kevin Love said. We beat a very good team tonight. But now its getting guys in a mindset of, can we do it again? Can we do it night in and night out? To get to where we want to go, weve got to do it every single night. We want respect in this league. We want teams to understand that we want to bottle this up and make something special here.

This wasnt some serendipitous performance, catching Milwaukee at the right time -- like Decembers blowout win.

A dominant performance at both ends, the Cavs outplayed the fully-loaded, streaking champs who entered the night 45-6 against Central foes over the last four seasons and were 18-3 in games with Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday all in the lineup. Antetokounmpo said he was surprised by Clevelands physicality and how tough it was going one-on-one against so many quality individual defenders. Middleton spoke about its unmatched size.

The swarming defense, third in rating this season, held Milwaukee, which averages 111.8 points, below the 100-point mark while forcing Antetokounmpo into seven turnovers -- matching his season-high.

We had a couple things when we came into the season about our identity: We wanted to be the hardest-working team out there and we wanted to always give 100 percent on the defensive end, Jarrett Allen said. I think tonight was a perfect example of that. Obviously, we have ups-and-downs but overall, we have stuck with our identity and its carrying us.

The Cavs, 30-19, have three wins in a row. They are 8-2 in their last 10. Already have double-digit victories this month. Boast the leagues fourth-best point differential -- even better than 31-win Miami. They are in the top 5 of net rating -- a ranking shared by each NBA champion over the last decade. Their net rating, No. 4 overall, is 6.3. It was minus-8.3 last season -- an unprecedented transformation.

Theyve won 15 games against teams above .500 and are 9-11 against the top 6 in each conference. Given the schedule gantlet already faced, the Cavs have the third-easiest remaining road, giving them a legitimate path to the Easts top spot.

They play hard and together, with a palpable bravado and irrational audacity required to reach the postseason without LeBron for the first time since 1998 -- and make noise when they get there.

They believe in each other, Bickerstaff said. They have no fear. No matter whats going on, good or bad, they always feel like somebodys got their back. We take challenges. We dont run from anybody. We dont back down. And we give everybody our best shot.

For three years, Clevelands best shot wasnt nearly good enough. It is now. The rebuild is over. This team is the perfect blend of talent and chemistry.

You can have all the talent in the world and have poor chemistry and youre going to underachieve every time. You can have less talent and more chemistry and youll achieve, Bickerstaff said. The beauty of it is, you cant put numbers to it, you have to put time and care into it. Thats the human aspect of what we do. The computers want to take all that away from us. Theres so much more to be said about -- especially in teams -- togetherness, a genuine trust and care for one another. That support gives you an opportunity every night to be more than what you are as an individual.

Earlier this week, Love referred to the Cavs as the ultimate share-the-wealth group. That was highlighted against the Bucks.

Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Allen rightfully receive most of the attention.

Garland has made the third-year leap, morphing into the team leader, engine of the offense, a potential All-Star and one of the leagues best point guards. Allen, who drew the assignment against Antetokounmpo Wednesday, will also garner All-Star consideration. Mobley is transcendent -- the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year and a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate who looks like a video game create-a-player. Hes already changed the trajectory of the franchise -- and is only scratching the surface.

Those three are the franchise cornerstones. They accelerated this process.

On Wednesday night, that trio, which Love referred to as a three-headed monster, combined for 45 points, 10 assists, 12 rebounds, two steals and two blocks. There was even a filthy, jaw-dropping connection between Garland and Mobley that ended with the rook putting Antetokounmpo on a poster -- a moment that sent shockwaves through Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

But the beauty of the Cavaliers is it can be anyones night. Lamar Stevens on the road in Oklahoma City. Dean Wade on Monday. Love and Cedi Osman Wednesday.

Love finished with a team-high 25 points -- another throwback to his younger days. Osman, who was a ghastly 1-of-20 from 3-point range in the previous five games, went 6-of-14 from deep and tallied 23 points. Those two helped blow the game open with their shot-making, especially against a Milwaukee defense that allows the most 3-pointers. Beating them requires drilling those looks.

Just continuing to tell him to be himself, Love said of Osman. I dont care if you shoot 0-for-12 or 12-for-12, we need you to be Cedi. When you get hot, you get hot. Just go out there, be yourself, play both sides of the ball. Hes one of those guys that hes really hard not to like. When hes hitting, we all get excited. Its not only the whole crowd, its the bench, the coaching staff, its everybody. I love Cedi. I mean, hes one of my favorite teammates, and one of my better friends in the league.

Then Love jokingly called Osman annoying while critiquing his jacket and saying Osman shadows him too much on the road. After Love sent a few barbs at Allen, it was the big mans turn to return the favor.

Its Grandpa Kev, not Uncle Kev, Allen said with a laugh.

Those playful exchanges dont even begin to encapsulate the camaraderie that pours onto the court.

Love chest-bumping teammates after big shots. Garland hopping back to the locker room with his arm around veteran Rajon Rondo following the win. Collin Sexton, who only recently began to walk following November meniscus surgery, stepping onto the court to direct his teammates or clap back at a shouting Bobby Portis after a technical foul. Ricky Rubio sending congratulatory postgame text messages despite recovering from a season-ending torn ACL. Isaac Okoro ripping on Bickerstaff for his old-school musical playlist. Teamwide barking.

The Cavs arent just one of the leagues best teams. Theyre one of the most connected. Fun is their secret ingredient.

Bickerstaff insisted before the game that the Cavs are still a work in progress. Love would prefer they continue behaving like underdogs while flying under the radar, not wanting to talk about ceilings.

I almost dont even want to acknowledge it because I just want to bottle what we have right now, Love said.

Thats getting much harder. The secrets out.

Hunter Henry is excited about growing his chemistry with Mac Jones this offseason – Pats Pulpit

Their first year together was a productive one for Hunter Henry and Mac Jones. The New England Patriots high-priced free agency tight end and the rookie starting quarterback connected on 51 of 78 attempted passes for 633 yards and a team-high nine touchdowns.

Henry ended the season as Jones second most targeted teammates behind only wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, establishing a solid chemistry with the young QB. Heading into their first full offseason together, the goal is clear: keep working on that connection to make it an even more productive one in 2022.

Henry expressed his excitement about doing just that during his end-of-season media conference call,

This offseason will be huge, he said. That relationship and that chemistry goes a long way, and translates to the field. Just little things: growing our knowledge of the offense, the knowledge of the way we run routes, the way we see things, the way we see things against certain defenses. All that will continue to grow and only get better, so Im excited about it.

A former member of the Los Angeles Chargers, Henry arrived in New England via a three-year, $37.5 million free agency contract in mid-March. A few weeks later, Jones joined the team as the 15th overall selection in the draft.

The two did spend some time alongside each other over the course of training camp, but their connection did not take off until after incumbent starter Cam Newton was released. Henry acknowledged that it took some time for himself and the rest of the offense to develop a feel for playing alongside Jones, the Patriots QB2 throughout the summer.

There was a lot of growth. Early on we were still just trying to figure each other out, in a away. We didnt get many reps with Mac even in camp, he said.

It just took us time to build that chemistry, build in this system. And then we started clicking and then I felt like we picked it up mid-season, when we were really, really clicking.

Now, the two will have a full offseason alongside each other one that has both of them in clearly defined roles: Jones enters 2022 as the undisputed starting quarterback, while Henry is coming off a season in which he served as New Englands top receiving tight end.

Both will play a big part in helping the Patriots offense take the next step after what was a promising but ultimately inconsistent season for the unit. This process continues during the offseason.

Theres stuff to build upon, theres stuff to grow from, Henry said.

Anytime you have a season like we did we had a lot of success, we have a lot of stuff we need to learn from, we didnt start out how we wanted to, we didnt really end how we wanted to, we had a good middle part of the season with that big winning streak were going to sit back and reflect on the season. ... Look at the season as a whole, things that I can improve on, how I can help the team.

Actively continuing to build the relationship with his quarterback will be a good start.
