A Hostile And Discriminatory Work Environment

I’ve waited on posting this story since I received an email from TMZ alerting me of the law suit. I think we need both sides of the story to make any kind of judgment….
from Nathan Koppel of the Law Suit Blog at the Wall Street Journal,
Quick disclosure: We have never played professional sports and do not know what passes for bonhomie or hard-edge humor in a locker room.
So, we have little context to bring to this post about a suit filed by 23-year-old Jewish hockey player Jason Bailey, who claims that certain coaches with the Anaheim Ducks of the NHL subjected Bailey to a hostile and discriminatory work environment.
continued or at least read the comments…
thanks to a KK member for the pointer

Lightning Assign Goaltender Mike Smith to AHL Norfolk for Conditioning
by Jon Jordan on 01/20/11 at 02:17 PM ET
Comments (2)
The Tampa Bay Lightning have sent goaltender Mike Smith to AHL Norfolk on a conditioning assignment today, as announced by the team.
Smith has been recovering from a knee injury and has missed the last fifteen games.
With Dwayne Roloson and Dan Ellis already on Tampa Bay’s active roster, Smith has been assumed by many to be the odd-man out eventually, though nothing has been made certain to this point.
Today’s move, at the very least, buys general manager Steve Yzerman some time to continue to consider all options.
Smith, acquired by Tampa Bay in February of 2008 in the deal that saw forward Brad Richards head to Dallas, is in the final season of a two-year contract that carries a cap hit of $2.2-million.

Later today, I’ll give my updated thoughts on the Lightning’s suddenly crowded crease after the addition of Dwayne Roloson. It’s also a subject I’m positive that we’ll discuss at length during the first edition of The Bolts Beat for 2011 this afternoon.
Until then, though, it’s time for our weekly peek at the AHL results for the top affiliates of all five Southeast Division clubs.

We’re renaming our weekly look at the Southeast Division’s AHL affiliates because, frankly, there isn’t really much passing on of original news in these updates. But they’re sticking around because the feedback’s been solid. (I just don’t want to mislead anyone with the News from… headlines.
Now then, following the mid-season name change of the Hartford Wolf Pack-to-Connecticut Whale, News from the Farm is now Southeast AHL Affiliate Update. (Not catchy at all, I know.)
Nevertheless…

Son Of A Pro

from the Naples News,
He’s the only player on the Florida Everblades roster who actively uses Twitter, he writes a blog for his college town paper and often interacts with fans via Facebook. Forward Mike McKenzie is the epitome of fan-friendly. But McKenzie’s background has a lot to do with his appreciation for being a professional hockey player and why he’s so open with fans of the game.
McKenzie, 24, is the son of Bob McKenzie, the former editor of The Hockey News and one of the leading hockey analysts in North America. The younger McKenzie essentially grew up at NHL arenas, often tagging along with his father inside locker rooms, and experiencing both the good and bad side of professional sports.
“When I was little my goal was to be a professional player,” McKenzie said. “And I always made a promise to myself that if I made it that far that I’d be generous with the fans and treat people with respect.”
