New Miner mascot outfit helps rebuild school spirit

Linton-Stockton School Corporation's new Miner mascot worn by Micaela Hazelwood.
(By Shad Cox)

Linton-Stockton School Corporation's new Miner mascot has restored a sense of pride in the school.

The woman under the mask this year, Micaela Hazelwood, said the boy's sectional semi-final game was the perfect reveal for the new buffed up outfit.

"At the pep session (last Friday) I wore the old one, and the new uniform came in that day at school. Then Friday night, I wore the new mascot uniform," Hazelwood said.

Hazelwood said the crowd was already excited for the sectional game, and the unveiling of the mascot made the crowd go wild.

"I had so many people say you actually look like a Miner, and not like a monkey," Hazelwood added with a laugh, noting the old mascot was slightly deformed after almost two decades of use.

She added, "The high school kids loved it. One kid said it looked like I could actually intimidate the other mascots."

Hazelwood said the biggest difference between the old and new mascot uniforms is the new one is a full body suit, and features muscular arms.

"You can't tell it's a girl inside anymore," Pep Club member Hannah Kocher noted.

Pep Club member Natalie Swihart said until the sectional game, the student pep session had been almost nonexistent.

Pep Club member Brianne Karazsia added the reveal of the new mascot and realizing the school stood a chance at the sectional win really brought out the best in the student section.

"The tone kind of changed when we won the Greene County Invitational, and people realized, 'Oh, they have a chance to win'," Karazsia explained.

Cheerleader Kylie Kramer said the fans seemed to get even more into the spirit of the game with the new mascot and intensity of the Sectional win.

Kocher added the mascot is the life of the cheerleaders, and having an updated mascot has made it possible to encourage the enthusiasm even more.

The new mascot costumes has also helped raise the enthusiasm of the basketball players.

"I think it helps the basketball boys too, to have someone at the games to get the crowd pumped up," Swihart added.

The students said the new mascot would not have been possible without a grant from Utilities District of Western Indiana REMC, and the persistence of high school principal Nathan Moore.

"They've been talking about getting a new fox mascot costumes since I was a freshman," Hazelwood said.

The funds were not available at the time, but the REMC grant gave them the opportunity to replace the costume that was falling apart.

Hazelwood said Moore began searching for the perfect mascot, and once he found one he thought was suitable he took the idea around the school.

"Mr. Moore took the picture through the hallways and asked everyone what they thought. He made sure everyone liked it," Hazelwood said.

Swihart added, "Mr. Moore is probably the most pumped up. This has been a good year because the school has never had this much school spirit."

Moore noted the costume had cost more than originally anticipated, so if anyone is willing to make a donation to replenish the funds used outside of the grant can send a donation to Linton-Stockton High School.

Seahawks mascot tackles MS with Team Blitz fundraiser

When I first met Ryan Asdourian, I had no idea I was hanging out with a celebrity. In fact, he may be one of the most recognizable faces in all of Seattle.

Never heard of him? How about his alter ego?

 

The Seattle Seahawks team mascot, Blitz.

 

I asked Ryan about his most memorable mascot moment. "I got to jump off the roof of what was then Qwest Field. I kind of swan dived there, and ziplined across the whole stadium," Ryan recalls, "That was pretty neat."

 

Ryan first got involved with the Seahawks after moving to the Seattle area to work at Microsoft. He had bird mascot costumes sale experience as the University of Florida Gator, and it just so happened a local sports team had an opening.

 

"I reached out to Blitz at Seahawks.com and I got a response. The guy happened to be leaving," Ryan explains, "He said, ‘Hey, I'm roommates with the Mariner Moose, you wanna grab a beer?' and I said absolutely. It was perfect."

 

7 years later, he's still wowing the 12th Man in a fierce mask and feathers, entertaining thousands of cheering fans during home games at Century Link Field.

 

"It is the greatest job in the world. I truly believe that."

 

Ryan never expected to face the next challenge in his life. It started with a tingling sensation in his feet.

 

"That tingling kind of moved up my body into my legs and my stomach. It lasted for days. I went to the doctor, didn't know what to expect. After a number of tests and MRIs I found out I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis."

 

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society says there are more cases of MS in the Pacific Northwest than almost anywhere else in the world. There's no known cause, no known cure, and no proven reason for why it is so prevalent in Washington.

 

Ryan says initially, he didn't talk about his MS. "It takes a while to internalize any sort of diagnosis like that. And that's what I did for a while," Ryan pauses, "Somebody gave me the advice, when I was talking to them about telling people, just think about how and when you do it. Because you can really only tell them once."

 

Of course, this outgoing, successful NFL team mascot didn't stay silent for long.

 

"I worked with the Seahawks to come up with a great way to raise awareness and money by getting involved with the National MS Society, and starting a team, which we call Team Blitz," says Ryan.

 

Take away the electric blue costume and beak, Ryan is still a larger-than-life kind of guy, with a huge smile and obvious enthusiasm for his new passion: Raising money for MS research.

 

"If you talk about it, you find there's a lot of people here in the Northwest that are connected to MS, whether it be themselves, or their family member or a friend."

 

Team Blitz has raised more than $225,000 over the past three years.

 

"This Saturday (March 16th) we're going to have our fourth pub crawl, which is looking to be over 400 people. I can't tell you how excited I am about that," Ryan says.

 

The crawl starts off at 2:30 in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood, and includes a silent auction with Seahawks and Sounders gear.

 

The money, and all the Team Blitz funds raised for the MS Walk coming up on April 14th, go directly to the National MS Society.

 

Ryan hopes Team Blitz helps to keep MS research moving toward a cure.

 

Ryan explains that when he was first diagnosed, there were only four FDA-approved drugs for MS patients. Five years later, "There are now nine FDA-approved drugs. Just incredible speed and growth in the drug space," he says, "You're seeing that a lot of people are dealing with less symptoms because of that. And that's really why we do what we do."

 

One of the things that's most rewarding for Ryan is meeting other people who face an MS diagnosis.

 

"I get to talk to people who might be dealing with more MS symptoms than I'm dealing with today," Ryan explains. "I think that I'm able to bring them some hope. I'm able to show that you can lead and live a full life after a diagnosis of MS."

 

With Team Blitz, Ryan has shown that he doesn't have to wear a mask to inspire a crowd.

 

"I get a lot of fan mail from different kids after I visit a school," says Ryan, "A student wrote, ‘My brother says you're number zero for loser, but I told him you're number zero for hero," he laughs.

Edmonton police still looking for 'Roary', missing mascot worth

MCNALLY HIGH SCHOOL TIGER MASCOT, "ROARY" WAS DECLARED MISSING IN NOVEMBER 2012. THE THIEF IS NOW PLAYING A GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE WITH POLICE VIA A @WHERESROARY TWITTER ACCOUNT BY POSTING PICTURES OF HIMSELF WEARING THE STOLEN EDMONTON HIGH SCHOOL MASCOT COSTUME SHOPPING AND DOING OTHER THINGS IN AND AROUND EDMONTON.

QMI AGENCY

EDMONTON -- City cops still need help in finding a missing mascot costumes that was stolen from McNally High School.

And police say the mascot -- a tiger costume -- is worth $5,000.

"Roary" the mascot was declared missing back in November after he made an appearance at a Halloween party.

Const. Brandon Shippelt said cops put posters around the school asking students to come forward with information about Roary's whereabouts with little success.

A @WheresRoary account was set up on Twitter last month that shows the furry mascot in various locations around the city.

And after QMI Agency reported the story Saturday, the account posted an image of the article on Twitter.

The account said "this is going on my fridge for sure."

Police, however, are not laughing as their investigation into the theft continues.

U of I Students Back Illiniwek in Campus Vote

He may not be coming back, but it is clear Chief Illiniwek still has strong support among University of Illinois students.

Almost 80 percent of the more than 11,500 students who voted in a recent campus referendum said they believed the American Indian mascot should be the symbol of the university's Urbana-Champaign campus.

The ballot results were released Wednesday after a delay caused by a student court review of a related student mascot-design competition, The News-Gazette reported.

The university dropped the Chief mascot in 2007 under pressure from the NCAA. Opponents argued the mascot demeaned American Indians. Supporters maintain Illiniwek is a respectful symbol.

University leaders have said the Chief mascot costumes isn't coming back. The mascot-design competition isn't sanctioned by the university.

The university still plays "Three-in-One," music to which the Chief traditionally danced, and a student wearing a Chief Illiniwek costume sometimes appears in the crowd -- without university approval.

FEATURE: The RinRin Doll Interview!

Originally hailing from sunny Southern California, RinRin Doll is an American who now models Lolita clothing and j-fashion deep in the heart of Harajuku, Tokyo. Most associated with the brand Angelic Pretty, she also models for the Alice Age web store, and is a fixture in magazines like KERA. RinRin was kind enough to take time out of her busy schedule to sit down for an interview about Lolita fashion, life in Japan, and how to figure out if you are wearing your pants on backwards during a photo shoot (hint: check the label). Enjoy!

Crunchyroll News: How did you first get exposed to Lolita fashion?

Rin Rin: I was first exposed to it when I was in high school. My friend went to Japan and brought back one of the Gothic Lolita magazines to give to me as a souvenir. I looked at it and thought, “Oh my goodness, they all look like dolls!” (laughs). But I was actually more attracted to the Punk and Goth styles.

How did you wind up becoming a Lolita fashion model?

 

When I was living in LA, (Japan-based Lolita brand)  Angelic Pretty wanted to do a fashion show at the Pacific Media Expo convention. They were looking for local models because they weren’t able to bring models from Japan.  A friend of mine, who was an organizer for the event, submitted me without saying anything to me first about it (laughs). But I went along and was chosen!  When I met the owner of Angelic Pretty, I asked them if they would be coming back to the US soon, and we started talking. She said that if I ever went to Japan, she would use me as a model.

And you just followed through…

 

Yes, I went to Japan on a study abroad program and I contacted Angelic Pretty and said, “I’m here!” and the owner said, “Ok! Come and work for us!” So that’s what happened. I’ve been in Japan about 3 years now.

Ok, can you describe what a working on a photo shoot is like?

 

For  Angelic Pretty shoots, we just go in, take the photos, and then leave right away. Everything is well planned and scheduled beforehand. You’re not taking a ton of pictures and you’re only doing a couple of outfits. Each shoot is about 5-6 hours max, not including hair and makeup time.

 

For a catalog site, like Alice Age and Mansaiya, it’s a full day and it feels like 100 outfit changes! There are usually 2 or 3 models per shoot, so when one model goes out, that’s when you touch up your makeup, change your clothes, and get everything ready. You have 1-2 minutes before you’re out again. There are no instructions. The photographer just goes “click click click!”  You go in for one minute, spin spin spin, pose pose pose and then you’re out. And then you throw on another outfit and go back in. The lunch break is only about 5-10 minutes. We work from the morning to the last train. Everything is very efficient. You just do your thing. You know what you’re supposed to do and you try to not be the one who trips up and stops the process. That’s really stressful.

For example?

 

One time, I wore my pants backwards! I already did my whole shoot for that set and only when I went back to the changing room to put on another top did I realize that my pants were on backwards. Usually there’s someone who checks for that sort of thing, but nobody knew what was the front and what was the back. But… I found the label in the front. Things like that happen...(laughs)

So what is your daily life like? I just imagine you having tea and eating macarons all the time…

I wish! Actually, I can’t resist macarons. It’s so stereotypical, but it’s true…the last time I passed by a macaron shop, I completely gave in and had to buy something. But yes, I work every day. It can be really stressful. Even on weekends there are no days off. I leave my house around 7am and I don’t come home until the last train. I sometimes force myself to take a day off to just sit at home and rest.

What are some of the challenges involved in maintaining that kind of schedule?

 

As a model, I think the hardest part for me is keeping up with my social networking sites:  my facebook, my blog, my twitter, my instagram, etc. I’ve been working hard recently to keep them up. Every now and then I fall into a slump and everything goes quiet and I have to get my motivation back up.

I think you must have a big reach since you post in both Japanese and English. There aren’t many Lolita models that do that.

 

I thought that blogging in English would help everyone cross that barrier. People in the modeling world here aren’t that unreachable. I remember how I felt back in LA when I first started getting into Lolita dresses fashion. You’d see the models, you’d see their blogs online, but they felt really untouchable; really far, far, away and perfect in every way. But it’s really only the language barrier that keeps you from finding out what they were writing about on their blogs. They actually write very personal and emotional things.

And now some of those people are your friends. What do Lolita models do for fun?

We go to lives (concerts), cafes, karaoke, shopping, dinner, walk around...

What’s it been like adapting to life in Japan in general?

 

It’s a lot of hard work. You have to have your life together. Being a gaikokujin (foreign national) you really have to be careful about your visa, your working status, everything. You always need to be on top of that.

Do people even realize that you’re not actually a Japanese citizen?

Sometimes I will go for a job and talk for a while and then I’ll say, “Sorry if my Japanese is terrible.” and they’ll say “Oh What? You’re not Japanese? Where are you from?” I don’t know if they are just being nice and complimenting my Japanese or if it really is a big shock. But I don’t think it makes a difference either way. (laughs) It does make a great conversation starter; it breaks the ice to make a fun working atmosphere.

Do you miss America at all?

Yes, of course!  My whole family and most of my friends are back at home, but I do get to visit them on holidays so it helps a lot.

Do you plan to stay in Japan for the long term?

 

Right now, I don’t know. I want to see where everything goes.

Ok, so to ask a big question…why Lolita fashion? What is it about this style that attracts you?

Personally for me growing up, I didn’t wear a lot of dresses. But now, I get to be really, really girly. (laughs) I don’t really know what else to say! Getting the chance to be “kawaii” and living in a kind of dream world is really appealing. I don’t know why. Maybe ask me in another year or two. (laughs) With some people, I’d say they are meant to wear it. It really matches them and everything fits: their image, the way they live, everything just fits. But there are other models who just treat it as another style that they wear and model for.

How do you think Japanese Lolita compare to American Lolita?

With Japanese Lolitas, there is this trend to pair or to be twins; to wear completely the same outfit...maybe in a different color sometimes, but the same clothes, accessories, everything down to the last detail is the same. But when I go to the US and do tea parties and shows, I see people who are trying to create their own original styles using what they have. That is really interesting to me. It’s more like an artwork that way. But in Japan, being twins is really, really cute too, so there’s no downside.

hány gól, annyi millió

Ősszel az Újpest hazai pályán úgy győzte le a Ferencvárost, hogy a győztes gólt Bavon Tshibuabua a 90+4. percben szerezte. A múlt kísértett a vasárnapi Üllői úti visszavágón, az NB I 19. fordulójának legpatinásabb rangadóját ugyanis hasonló módon nyerte meg a Fradi. Az Albert-stadion búcsúztatóján (ami a magyar viszonyokat ismerve lehet, nem is volt búcsúmérkőzés) telt ház várta a két csapatot, nem maradt el a szokásos verekedés, könnygáz-bevetés, zászlóégetés, görögtűz és a játékosok megdobálása sem.

Somalia ballábas bombagóljával a Fradi szerzett vezetést, számos helyzetet kihagyott, de a szünet után egy szép kontrából Kabát Péter egyenlített. Amikor mindenki a lefújást várta, akkor jött Vladan Čukić, aki a 90+3. percben egy újabb nagy lövéssel győzelemhez segítette a Fradit.

Kubatov Gábor, az FTC elnöke szokásos Facebook-bejegyzésében csak ennyit írt: „Végre egy sima meccs!”

De a felek érthetetlen módon teljesen ellentétesen látták a meccset. Julian Jenner szerint a helyzetek alapján a Fradinak már az első félidőben ki kellett volna végeznie ellenfelét. „Játszottam már néhány nagy meccsen, de ilyen atmoszférában még sosem. Hihetetlen élmény volt ez a meccs, sosem fogom elfelejteni”– tette hozzá. Kabát szerint a döntetlen lett volna az igazságos: „A Ferencváros semmivel sem volt jobb nálunk, csak két jól eltalált lövéssel nyert.”

Na igen, néha ennyi is elég a sikerhez.

A rangadó egyébként nem maradt utóhatás nélkül, a felek annyi milliót fizethetnek, ahány gólt szereztek. A Fradit két-, az Újpestet egymillió forintra büntette meg az MLSZ pirotechnikai eszközök használata, rasszista megnyilvánulás, illetve különböző rendbontások miatt. Jova Levente pólóra írt gusztustalan üzenete ugyanakkor megtorlatlan maradt.

A listavezető Győr a Kaposvár után a Siófok ellen is szenvedve nyert 2:1-re, szombaton Kecskeméten ennél jobb teljesítmény kell majd.

A Debrecen 4:1-re verte a Pécs csapatát, és a papírforma szerint Pápán is esélyes lesz a három pont megszerzésére. A címvédőnél most Adamo Coulibaly miatt áll a bál, aki azt mondta, a klubtulajdonos utasítására nem léphet pályára, tartoznak neki kéthavi fizetéssel, és nem érti, miért szórakoznak vele. Kondás Elemér válasza csak annyi volt: „Coulibalynak nem tartozunk és nem is tartoztunk soha. Azért nem játszik, mert nagy gond van a hozzáállásával.”

A Videoton Kispest után az Eger váci albérletében is 4:0-ra nyert, a mutatott játék eredménye az lett, a mindkét találkozón eredményes fiatal Kovács István meghívást kapott Egervári Sándortól a válogatottba a románok és törökök elleni soron következő vb-selejtezőre. Juhász Roland azonban kimaradt, persze nem is tehet mást a kapitány, amikor az Anderlechttől hazatért középső védőt egy percet nem játszatta még José Gomes. A zentai Nemanja Nikolić mellőzése pedig továbbra is a magyar futball legnagyobb talánya.

Ha élne még a szép hagyomány, akkor a hétvégén akár kettős rangadó is lehetne a Puskás-stadionban: a Honvéd ugyanis a Ferencvárost fogadja, míg az MTK Újpestre látogat. A papírforma vendéggyőzelmeket ígér, de azért ne rohanjunk fejvesztve a fogadóirodákba. Hiszen mi várható például egy olyan Honvédtől, amelyik az otthoni, Videoton elleni 4:0-s vereség után 3:0-ra veri idegenben azt a Paksot, amely egy héttel korábban hatot lőtt az Újpestnek?!

Az Orompart I. a győztes

Vasárnap befejeződött a javarészt a zentai község településeit felölelő falusi sakkliga szokásos téli versenysorozata. Huszonöt évvel ezelőtt indultak a sakkversenyek, majd később rendszeresítették és állandósították a szabályokat, és nem hivatalos liga alakult ki hasznos téli időtöltésre.

A most véget ért bajnokságban (is) hat csapat versenyzett, nem is lebecsülendő színvonalon, hiszen az orompartiak felerősítették csapatukat, a gunarasiak egyébként is erős együttest alkotnak (rangosabb ligában is részt vevő versenyzőkkel), a felsőhegyi csapatban pedig szerepelt a helybeli Juhász Bence, aki a 16 évesek korosztályában nemrégen megnyerte Vajdaság bajnokságát.

A bajnokságot ötfordulós rapid rendszerben bonyolították le, s minden alkalommal mindenki mindenkivel megmérkőzött. Az így kialakult végeredmény szerint Orompart I. csapata nyerte meg a versenyt 61 ponttal, ugyanennyi pontot szerzett a második helyezett gunarasi Fehér Szarvas csapata, 3. Tornyos (52), 4. a zentai Tornádó (42), 5. Felsőhegy (41), 6. Orompart II. csapata 26,5 ponttal.

Az egyéni verseny győztese a huszonkettes mezőnyben a gunarasi Milorad Kocić lett 7,5 ponttal, őt követi szintén a Fehér Szarvas csapatából Branislav Janjušević 6,5 ponttal, a harmadik helyet pedig a felsőhegyi Juhász Bence szerezte meg 6 ponttal.

Első alkalommal történt meg, hogy a sakkozók pályázat útján némi támogatáshoz jutottak, és így nem a résztvevőknek kellett fedezniük a versenyek költségét.

A falusi sakkligánál jóval fiatalabb, nagyjából feleannyi idős Felsőhegy nemzetközi bajnoksága; ezt a versenyt április 6-án rendezik meg 12. alkalommal.

Casino proposal: CNE Association warns MGM to stop using Ex images to promote its ‘resort’ project

The Canadian National Exhibition Association has told a casino company to stop using the CNE’s name and its signature gate in promotional materials.

In a cease-and-desist letter sent Tuesday, association president Brian Ashton told MGM Resorts and Canadian partner Cadillac Fairview they infringed on the association’s intellectual property rights by using an image of the trademarked Princes’ Gates and the trademarked letters CNE in “various publications,” including a two-page ad that ran in the Star and other newspapers on the weekend.

The association is staunchly opposed to a casino at Exhibition Place. Ashton also objected to a promise in the ad to sponsor and to help improve the 18-day annual fair.

“It concerns the CNEA that the unauthorized use of its images and official marks by MGM/Cadillac Fairview will mislead the public into the mistaken belief that the CNEA is actually part of your proposal or that, at a minimum, the CNEA supports the proposal,” Ashton wrote.

Ashton said the association’s official marks “may” also include “the images of costume characters including our mascot costume ‘Al-Ex.’” He threatened “further communication or action from our legal counsel” if MGM and Cadillac Fairview did not comply.

MGM spokesperson Alan Feldman said in a statement that the companies will “carefully review” the letter and “respond if necessary.”

“We have consistently stated that our vision for an integrated resort on Exhibition Place is subject to the city's approval, and if such approval is granted, we will work with all stakeholders to preserve and enhance the existing uses. We look forward to working with all of those that want to turn Exhibition Place and Ontario Place into iconic tourist destinations that Torontonians can be proud of,” Feldman wrote.

Kutyasétáltatás csakis pórázzal!

A zentai önkormányzat a közelmúltban figyelmeztető táblákat helyezett el, amelyeken arra hívja föl a lakosság figyelmét, hogy kutyáikat pórázon kötelesek sétáltatni. A városháza kommunális ügyekért felelős osztályán ennek kapcsán elmondták, hogy az erről szóló rendeletet már három évvel ezelőtt meghozták, csak az utóbbi időszakban elszaporodott lakossági panaszok miatt döntöttek úgy, hogy figyelmeztető táblákat helyeznek el elsősorban azokon a területeken, ahol sok ember fordul meg. 

A rendelet többek között azt is előírja, hogy a házi kedvenceinket kizárólag az erre kijelölt helyeken lehet sétáltatni, illetve a pórázról elengedni, de a helyszíneket meghatározó terv kidolgozása még folyamatban van – nyilatkozták az illetékesek. 
A figyelmeztetéseket egyébként a városi parkban, a Zoran Đinđić sétányon és a Népkertben helyezték ki. Egyedül a rakpartra nem kerültek ki ilyen táblák, de ez még nem jelenti azt, hogy itt póráz nélkül sétáltathatók a kutyák – közölték a kommunális osztályon. A rendelet egyébként azt is előírja, hogy az 55 centiméternél magasabb kutyáknak szájkosarat is viselniük kell. A rendelet betartását ellenőrizni is fogják. A kommunális osztályon arra is figyelmeztettek, hogy a közterületre sétálni kivitt kutyák be kell hogy legyenek oltva a veszettség ellen, s megfelelő chippel is rendelkezniük kell

Vancouver Giants rookie defenceman Arvin Atwal is both a fighter and a dancer

When it comes to comparing Arvin Atwal to Vancouver Canucks players, you see some Kevin Bieksa and, when the mood apparently suits him, a little of mascot costumes Fin.

 

Atwal, 17, has been one of those silver linings in this gloomy Vancouver Giants’ campaign.

A 6-foot, 195-pound right-handed defenceman, Atwal has the vision and booming shot to quarterback the power play for stints, and he also has the size and edgy demeanour to be a physical force in pursuit of the puck.

To boot, he’s a guy who stands up for his teammates.

He has seven fighting majors in a mere 27 games, and the majority have revolved around coming to the aid of a fellow Vancouver player.

One might argue that he’s had more daring “team-first” moments.

Specifically, last April, he filled in as Jack The Giant, pulling on the stuffed costume for a few hours at the Surrey Vaisakhi Parade.

He even busted out some of his moves from his time Bhangra dancing. He had done that for seven years before stopping to focus on hockey.

“I was like, ‘Hey, I’m a great dancer and I love kids. I could do this,’” the North Delta native recalled on Tuesday. “I did three hours, but I could have done it all day long.

“If I got asked again, I’d probably do it.”

Giants fans will undoubtedly want him to attend such events as himself.

Atwal has been playing top-four minutes with Vancouver in the past few weeks, after being promoted from the Junior B North Delta Devils in late December.

In the last 11 games, he has two goals and eight points, to go with a plus-four rating, helping last-place Vancouver to a 5-4-0-2 run in that time.

In his abbreviated season, he has three goals, 11 points and an even rating, an especially telling stat for a Vancouver team that has given up 97 more goals than it has scored on its way to a 19-46-2-0 record.

The hope had been that he would play with the Giants all season, but he had shoulder surgery in the summer and he wasn’t ready for the WHL rigours when the campaign kicked off.

He had looked to some like a throw-in for the Giants in their October 2011 trade with the Prince Albert Raiders, but Vancouver brass knew the Raiders’ 2010 eighth-round bantam pick well, since he had spent two years in the South Delta Secondary hockey academy, which is run by Giants strength and conditioning coach Ian Gallagher.

“Just being close to someone in the organization really helped,” Atwal said of joining the Giants.

The key guy for Vancouver in that trade was supposed to be a 19-year-old forward Austin Connor, but he opted to retire rather than report, and Vancouver received a 2013 fourth-round bantam pick instead.

Defenceman Tyler Hart and forward Teal Burns, both now 20, went to the Raiders in return and they’re both finishing off their eligibility in Junior A this season.

With the way Atwal is trending, it’s certainly a different-looking trade now.

“He’s confident with the puck,” Giants forward Dalton Sward, 19, said. “He tries moves that I wouldn’t try in practice.

“And, coming into the year, I didn’t see the guy as a fighter, but he’s fought some pretty tough guys and done pretty well.

“Everyone has their own way of creating energy for the team, and that’s one of his ways.”

Oddly enough, Atwal didn’t have a single bout in Junior B, where he put up five goals and 17 points in 22 games.

“I’m not trying to be a fighter,” he said. “I don’t want to be just a fighter. I want to be a complete player. I want people to know I won’t turn away when something happens.”
