Brossoit cracks team Canada roster

A young hockey player whose father hails from Port Alberni has been named to Team Canada?s roster for the 2012 Canada-Russia Challenge.

Calgary Flames goaltending prospect Laurent Brossoit, 19, was named to the team Canada roster two weeks ago, his father John Brossoit said.

?He?s over the moon and it?s been non-stop for him since,? John said.

Laurent was the Flames? sixth-round selection, 164th overall, in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Team Canada?s roster is comprised of three goaltenders, 10 defencemen and 15 forwards, and was selected by Kevin Prendergast, head scout of the men?s Program of Excellence for Hockey Canada.

In a twist, Brossoit is sharing goaltending duties on Team Canada with his WHL Edmonton Oil Kings teammate Tristan Jarry.

Brossoit and his team are headed to Russia in August to play back-to-back games against Russia Yaroslavl. They return to Canada for a two-game stint starting Aug. 13 when they play ET Russia in Halifax. All this before an NHL camp and then there?s even more.

Coaches are watching prospects to determine which of them will be invited to Canada?s National Junior Team selection camp in December.In total, 22 players will be selected to represent Canada at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship, Dec. 26, 2012 to Jan. 5, 2013 in Ufa, Russia.

Brossoit notched a 42-13-2-3 record with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage in his second full season in Edmonton.

He helped the Oil Kings to a Western Hockey League championship and the team?s first trip to the Memorial Cup, and earned the nod for tourney Most Valuable Player honours.

The 2012 Canada-Russia Challenge is a collaboration between Hockey Canada, the Canadian Hockey League and Halifax Trade Centre.

The event is being held in honour of the 40th anniversary of the 1972 Canada-Russia series.

Obama wants your wedding presents

The political Groveler in Chief really, Really, REALLY wants to stay in that big house, have the cool airplane, and continue his economy-destroying agenda. To do that, he wants your money.?Never mind?the millions he gets from multiple trips to Hollywood at events no working person (not actually serving him crepes) will ever be invited to.

Hey! Getting married? Why not ask your guests to, rather than helping you and your betrothed start out on your new life together, just send the money they?were going spend helping you to him instead? Help him get re-elected?? Cool idea!?

From Weasel Zippers:

Well, don?t know who created the image below, but I like it better than the original;

Could anyone really ever get to be more arrogant than Obama?

Former principal charged in fatal Fla. stabbings

LEALMAN, Fla. (AP) ? A former Tampa Bay-area middle school principal who lost his job over a drug arrest five years ago went on a rampage Friday, stabbing several people ? killing at least two ? before driving his car into a crowded porch and also attacking two others at a motel, authorities said.

Anthony Giancola, 45, was taken into custody Friday afternoon and charged hours later with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office reported. Authorities said there were 11 victims in all, and several are being treated at area hospitals for injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening.

Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said Giancola told his mother afterward "that she would be very proud of him because he'd just killed 10 drug dealers."

The sheriff said Giancola was bloody and "apparently high on drugs, intoxicated." Police said there was no indication any of the victims were involved in illegal activity.

The crime spree began shortly before 11 a.m. in Lealman, a small city in Pinellas County, about 20 miles west of Tampa.

That's when Giancola went to a group home for the hearing impaired and stabbed four people there, police said. Officials said Justin Lee Vand, 27, died at the scene, and Mary Anne Allis, 59, died at a nearby hospital. Injured were Danielle Whitney Gilbert, 25, and Janice Denise Rhoden, 44. Of the two wounded, one person was reported to be in serious condition. There was no immediate indication that the victims were involved in criminal activity. A child who lived there was not home at the time, said neighbors, who were stunned by the day's events.

"It's crazy," sighed Ken Seidl, 52, who lives down the street from the group home. "There's always problems in this neighborhood, drugs, prostitution. But never (anything) this drastic."

Pinellas County Sheriff's spokeswoman Cecelia Barreda said officers are still piecing together the timeline.

"It appears at this moment, this is all random," said Barreda.

Giancola also went to the Kenvins Motel in the nearby city of Pinellas Park, where he attacked the married couple who own the motel with a hammer, authorities said. Kanu and Indiranden Patel, both 57, were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The husband is in critical condition, authorities said.

At around 11:30 a.m., Barreda said, Giancola pulled up in front of a house in Pinellas Park and asked residents where he could find women. The residents told him to go away, and Giancola drove away angry. He soon returned and crashed his car into their porch, injuring three women and one man, police said. The women were taken to a nearby hospital, but the man refused treatment.

Authorities said Giancola also struck a 13-year-old boy on a bike. The boy's injuries were minor.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that Giancola's mother and sister picked him up afterward as he sat in his idling Ford outside a diner. They took him home, but he didn't stay, so they called deputy sheriffs.

By that time, officers had spoken with victims who were able to communicate and had pieced together the name of the suspect, Barreda said. A police dog tracked Giancola to near a storage facility and that's where he was arrested.

Giancola was first arrested in 2007. Authorities said he bought $20 of crack cocaine from an undercover police officer during the school day in his office at Van Buren Middle School in Tampa. Giancola eventually pleaded guilty to purchasing crack cocaine, possessing crack cocaine and possessing marijuana. Court records show he was sentenced to a year in jail and three years of probation.

A message left at a telephone listing for Giancola seeking comment from his family wasn't immediately returned. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney.

The sheriff's office said the Florida Highway Patrol was investigating the hit-and-run, and Pinellas Park police were investigating the motel attack. Pinellas Park police had not yet brought charges Friday evening, a spokesman said.
