Chelios will get a chance to erase those emotions and replace them with the honor of wearing the 'C' on his U.S. jersey on American soil in February. Chelios told the Salt Lake Tribune Monday that Team USA coach Herb Brooks has asked the 39-year-old Detroit Red Wing to act as captain for the 2002 Games in Salt Lake. "What was done in Nagano was unfortunate for everybody, but that is over," Chelios said in reference to the trashing of several Olympic Village rooms by U.S. hockey players during the Nagano Games. "I guarantee something like that will not happen again. It was a great honor in Nagano and it will be a great honor in Salt Lake." To help the U.S. reach the medal round at the 2002 Games, something NHL players failed to do in Japan, Chelios said he would like to see the NHL Players' Association lighten up on some restrictive rules imposed on Olympic training camps being held by the U.S. and Canadian teams. The NHLPA had been sticking to rules agreed upon by all parties at the 1999 World Hockey Championships that would limit the real camp time to just 48 hours and keep coaches off the ice if players not yet named to the Olympic team were in attendance. The rules angered Brooks. "Any sane person with a knowledge of sports and athletes knows you can't do anything in 48 hours. This is the Olympics we are talking about. I'm in disbelief, I'm disillusioned and I'm frustrated. This is unreasonable and crazy," Brooks told the Tribune in a July 21 story. Apparently, the players agree. "There was a conference call with 8-10 players and [NHLPA executive director] Bob Goodenow and we told him that we wanted to put as much time as we could into preparing for Salt Lake," he said. "We are willing to give up four days because the Olympics are in North America and it presents such a great opportunity for us." Chelios said the camp is vital for the U.S. and Canada to learn ways to adapt to the larger ice sheet used in the Olympics - international size ice sheets are 15-feet wider than those used in NHL buildings. "We didn't think it would be that big of an advantage for the European teams going into the Nagano Olympics," said Chelios, a defenseman. "But it is a different game. It is much harder to clog things up because of the extra footage. The Europeans know how to use that extra ice because they grew up on it." USA Hockey is holding its Olympic orientation meeting Sept. 4-7 near its headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo. Fourteen players have already been named to the Olympic roster and several more could be added before the camp. Brooks has stated he is not against inviting more players to the camp than will make the 23-man roster for the 2002 Games. Chelios, who will be 40 when the NHL breaks to allow its best players to compete for their countries in February, said he can't imagine a more powerful emotion than he will feel during the Olympics. "Maybe Herb is using the Grandfather clause to pick his captain," Chelios joked. "But to be chosen as captain of the team hosting the Olympics is a tremendous feeling. Every guy on the Olympic team is a leader on his NHL team and they all deserve to be the captain."

We need lots of help. If you're interested in helping out with a small portion of any of these events, please let me know or contact any member of the Booster Club. Our email addresses are located on our webpage at http://www.geocities.com/growlingrizzlies/growlingrizzlies.html. We hope to have a fantastic year and have lots of activities planned. We have some great officers this year who will assist you with any questions you have. They are: Char Swallow - President Cindy Bertrand - President Elect Kristi Wilson (me) - Secretary Tara Walk - Treasurer Frank Liebman - Award Winning Publicist Valerie Parr - Historian Shawna Connole - Board Member Gary Hamblin - Board Member Bill & Kim Higginson - Board Members Todd Swallow - Board Member Patti Traynor - Board Member Activities One of our first assignments from the Grizzlies office is to provide toys for the children's playroom at the E-Center. There are lots of little kids this year and there are no toys for them to play with while at the E Center. We will be collecting toys for the play area at the Cherry Hill picnic and at the Player's picnic. The toy can be for any age child and doesn't need to be expensive or new (as long as it is in good, clean condition). Our first activity for the year is the Potluck picnic at Cherry Hills. The picnic will be Saturday, September 8 (THIS WEEKEND!) at the Cherrywood Pavilion. The cookout starts at 5:00 p.m. Please bring a potluck salad or dessert. Meat and drinks will be provided. We will be having a raffle and auction. This is a great opportunity to meet other members of the Booster Club and to pay your dues for the year (as they will be increasing in November!) Don't forget to bring a toy for the playroom! Our annual Player's Picnic will be held at the end of September (hopefully September 30). This is the first opportunity to meet the players who will be playing for us during the season. These players are still in the middle of training camp, but by that time we should have a good idea of who will be staying. This picnic is also potluck and meat and drinks will be provided. This is another great opportunity to bring a toy for the kids' playroom. Other activities we are planning for this year are: Family Friendly Halloween Party - October Annual Wives Luncheon - November (you must be a member to attend this one, and it's ladies only!) Christmas Party with the team - December (you have to be a member to come to this one, too!) Community Stuff Last year we tried to expand our community involvement by getting involved with several charities in the area. This year we're hoping we can get out into the community even more. We have projects planned to aid the Utah Food Bank, Homeless Shelters, Angel's Hands Foundation, the Grizzlies Children's Charities and Project Smile. The first or second game of the season we will be making a donation to the Grizzlies Children's charities. Watch for us out on the ice during an intermission! We'll be putting together packets of information about our community for the new team. We want to help our guys navigate our city. Around Thanksgiving time, we will be helping the Utah Food Bank with their turkey drive. We'll contact you later to let you know more details. Sometime in March, we will be helping Rod Miller do another Skate Away Hunger marathon. Rod skated 1000 laps around the E-Center ice to raise money for the Utah Food Bank. This is a HUGE project and we could use everyone's help. We plan to help out at homeless shelters during the Christmas season and will be making quilts for Project Smile. Throughout the year, we'll also be doing numerous raffles and auctions to raise money for Angel's Hands Foundation, a charity organization that helps kids like Matt K. get the medical care and supplies they need to deal with a disease that is difficult to treat. How to join Joining is easy. You can visit our website at http://www.geocities.com/growlingrizzlies/growlingrizzlies.html for a membership application. Memberships before November 1 will be $11.00 per individual or $16.00 per family. You can also come and sign up at the Cherry Hill Picnic or at the Player's Picnic.

Cha-ching! Islanders give Yashin richest contract in NHL history UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) -- Alexei Yashin agreed to the biggest contract package in NHL history Wednesday, a 10-year deal with the New York Islanders worth nearly $90 million. The 27-year-old Russian center had given up millions by sitting out an NHL season in Ottawa. "It's a privilege for me to know that I will be spending the rest of my career on Long Island," he said at a news conference. The deal eclipses the one the Colorado Avalanche gave Joe Sakic in July -- five years, $50.5-million. The Avalanche have an option for a sixth year that would increase the package to $57 million. Washington's Jaromir Jagr will make $20.7 million over the next two seasons, making him the highest-paid player by annual salary. Yashin, who earned $3.6 million last season with Ottawa, will report to training camp Tuesday in Lake Placid, N.Y. "To add a player of Alexei's caliber means great things for this hockey club," general manager Mike Milbury said. Yashin had 40 goals and 48 assists with the Senators last season. He managed only one assist as Toronto swept Ottawa in the first round of the playoffs. He sat out the previous year after Ottawa declined to give him a lucrative pay increase. In 1998-99, he scored 44 goals and had 50 points and was a finalist for the league's MVP award. The 6-foot-3 center has proved durable. He did not miss a game in any of his last four seasons. The two-time All-Star represented Russia in five world championships, including 1993 when his team won the gold medal. Yashin won an Olympic silver medal in 1998. Ottawa traded Yashin for the No. 2 entry draft pick and selected teen-ager Jason Spezza. Forward Bill Muckalt and defenseman Zdeno Chara also went to the Senators.
