The hockey Unknowns : Dale Craigwell



 source : wikipedias

Dale A. Craigwell (born April 24, 1971 in Toronto, Ontario and raised in Oshawa, Ontario) is a retired professional hockey player who played professionally for 9 years and played parts of 3 years with the San Jose Sharks in the NHL. He played centre and shot left-handed.



Craigwell was drafted by the Sharks in the 10th round, 199th overall in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft. He was the 11th player ever drafted by the Sharks. Prior to being drafted he played in the OHL with the Oshawa Generals for 3 years, scoring 95 points in 56 games his final year there.



During the 1991–1992 NHL season, the first for the Sharks, Craigwell was called up in the middle of the season and skated in 32 games, scoring 16 points. The 1993–1994 season was the first for Craigwell to play full time for the Sharks, but the results were dismal, as he was regulated to a defensive role and scored only 9 points the whole year. The following year he suffered an ankle injury and missed the entire 1994–1995 season.



Craigwell then played for the Kansas City Blades in the now defunct IHL for 3 years, followed by 3 more years playing in Europe, one in Germany and two in England before retiring after the 2000–2001 season.

SHARKS: THORNTON REMAINS FIRM, HE'S STAYING



Source : thefourthperiod.com

Veteran center Joe Thornton reiterated his feelings about playing for the San Jose Sharks, telling the Toronto Sun he has no intention of waiving his no-trade clause.
Rumors popped up all summer over the Sharks fielding calls for Thornton and teammate Patrick Marleau, who also has a no-trade clause.

Thornton, 35, wants to stay in San Jose and believes the Sharks have what it takes to compete for the Stanley Cup.
<"I think we have a really good team that has a legitimate chance of doing something," Thornton told the Sun. "If I didn't think that, I don't think I'd still be here. But I still think we have a good group of guys and we can do something.

"You always hear the talk about teams inquiring and stuff, and the trade rumors. You hear your name in trade rumors. But I've never really thought about leaving at all. I always considered coming back.

"I know (Sharks GM Doug Wilson) always said we were going younger. But I always thought we still have some young guys, and that I can still help the young guys as much as I can. I think we have a really good team."

TFP reported numerous times during the off-season that while the Sharks were receiving calls, they never approached Thornton about the possibility of a move, something he confirmed to the Sun.

"(Wilson) never asked me to waive my no-trade (clause)," he said.

Thornton reaffirmed his plan to "finish my career as a Shark," even if other teams try to pluck him away from California.

"It's flattering, sure, that other teams would want to trade assets to acquire me, for sure," he said. "It's just like any employee who works for Ford and GM wants you. It's flattering. That's the way I look at it."

Jason Demers garde sa place au soleil



source : rds.ca

Le défenseur québécois Jason Demers a obtenu un nouveau contrat de deux saisons des Sharks de San Jose, mercredi. Ce nouveau pacte lui rapportera 3,4 M$ US annuellement.

Âgé de 26 ans, l'arrière originaire de Dorval en sera à sa sixième campagne dans l'uniforme des Sharks.

Même si les deux parties se rapprochaient du processus d'arbitrage, Demers a rélévé qu'il n'était pas inquiété outre mesure par la possibilité de devoir traverser cette étape.

« Je savais qu'on allait trouver le moyen de s'entendre et d'éviter l'arbitrage. Il y a toujours eu une bonne entente entre les deux parties », a-t-il confié en entrevue téléphonique avec RDS.

L'an dernier, Demers, qui lance de la droite, a obtenu 34 points (5-29) en 75 matchs avec l'équipe californienne, sa meilleure production offensive en carrière. En 280 matchs dans le circuit Bettman, il totalise 111 points.
 
Un vote de confiance aux jeunes

Les dernières semaines ont été plutôt mouvementées dans l'entourage des Sharks, et c'est d'autant plus vrai pour les membres de la brigade défensive. Le 1er juillet, deux vétérans s'étant avéré des présences stabilisantes par le passé ont fait leurs bagages, alors que Dan Boyle a signé une entente avec les Rangers de New York, tandis que Brad Stuart a abouti avec l'Avalanche du Colorado dans le cadre d'une transaction.

« D'un côté, ça ne fait pas de doute qu'il s'agit de deux énormes morceaux perdus. Mais notre noyau est encore très solide. À mon arrivée dans la ligue, mon souhait était de devenir un bon défenseur dans les deux sens de la patinoire. Je pense avoir fait un bon pas dans cette direction l'an dernier. Je suis prêt à occuper un plus grand rôle si c'est ce que les entraîneurs entrevoient pour moi. »
 
Un dur coup porté par les Kings
Si le DG Doug Wilson a cru bon de procéder à un remaniement du corps défensif de son club, l'élimination crève-coeur en sept matchs contre les Kings de Los Angeles, éventuels champions de la Coupe Stanley, a assurément pesé lourd dans la balance.

« Je crois qu'en tant que groupe, c'était encore plus dur à accepter étant donné que les Kings ont poursuivi leur chemin jusqu'à la Coupe. Mais il n'y a pas grand-chose qui puisse être fait, à part de recommencer à zéro. On a quelque chose à prouver. À nous de profiter de notre rôle d'underdog », a-t-il relativisé.

Les rumeurs ont circulé à gauche et à droite, alors qu'on prévoyait d'importants changements dans la
structure de l'équipe. Les modications n'auront finalement pas été aussi drastiques qu'anticipé.

« J'ai essayé de me tenir loin de ce qui a été dit ou écrit dans les médias. Depuis mon arrivée à San Jose, l'équipe est compétitive, et je pense que le groupe actuel est capable de belles choses. Par contre, des changements peuvent toujours se produire. C'est hors de notre contrôle. »
