Coldest Night raises $10,000 for homeless By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

Yorkton’s first annual Coldest Night of the Year started strong, with $10,000 raised for Yorkton Transitional Homes for Youth. Peg Beaton says that the YTHY has to thank the community for their support at the event. The kids who are supported by the YTHY helped with holding the event, and Beaton says that for them to see the community coming out to support them and kids like them was a big boost in their lives. “They just had such a sense of being supported that they were overwhelmed, that there were that many people who cared about them. That, to me, was a major thing for them to realize. They’re not alone, there’s a community. Personally, I always say it takes a community to raise a child, especially these children

because they don’t have anyone else to support them.” They money raised through the fundraiser will be used to hire a fulltime person to follow youth as they leave the home after turning 18. Beaton says that the goal is to give support to kids who do not have parents as they transition into adult life. “Right now we have 49 who have been through the homes, and right now we have in the home we have six youth. Out of those, four will be moving on in June. It’s about being able to follow up and give support. We call that our Independent Living Coordinator.” Beaton adds that a secondary goal of the event was to build awareness and get people to realize what is happening in Yorkton when it comes to homelessness. “It’s just a breakthrough into the community. We were told we’re

the best kept secret in town, because nobody really knew what we were doing or that somebody was working with homeless youth.” With more people aware of what YTHY does, they are better able to support the youth in Yorkton who need it. “Without that knowledge in the community, how can people come forward?” The lead sponsor for the 2016 was SIGN, which brought in $1,700, $500 in sponsorship and $1,200 raised by the SIGN team for the event. Andrew Sedley, Executive Director of SIGN, says they supported the project was a way to invest in the community.

“It’s something that we’re seeing time and time again, and YTHY are able to provide a supportive service in this community for so many needy individuals that really can use the support and those services.” Beaton says that the plan for next event is to start earlier, with the beginning of the campaign starting on November 1. They hope to get more teams to participate in the walk, as well as giving teams the chance to talk to friends and family about the Coldest Night and what the money is going to support. People can still donate to the Coldest Night of the Year until March 18.

Legion focused on members new and old By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Royal Canadian Legion Alexander Ross Branch 77 has received an award. The Early Bird Achievement Award is granted by the national Dominion Command to Legion branches which get a high rate of renewal for memberships before the early bird deadline, and the Yorkton Legion had a renewal rate of 86 per cent. As Legion branches across the country are struggling to attract new members, the award is a major boost for morale says Sandra Leitch, secretary for the Legion. With the award, it’s encouragement that they amount of work put in to recruitment and member retention is paying off. Last year did see a larger number of new members for the local legion, Leitch says, with nearly forty new members joining, a significant

jump from previous years. That increase comes after a year of very hard work to recruit and bring people into the Legion, and in previous years the new membership averaged around six to ten members. “It’s a new process now, a new kind of people are coming in, and they’re the future of the Legion.” Leitch is also a mentor for new members for the Legion, making an effort to get people information they need and help them get involved in a way that best suits their talent. She admits that joining a group can be intimidating for a new member, so they want to find a way to make it easy to join. “With these new members coming in, we need people to look after them.” She notes that it’s wide open to join, and no military experience is required to become a

Legion member. The goal is to find a younger generation of members to “carry the torch” and continue supporting veterans, continuing remembrance activities and working within the community. In spite of the increase of membership, Leitch admits that the Legion itself is still struggling financially, and is having difficulty continuing to do the things they do within the community. Whether it’s the annual Remembrance Day ceremony, money distributed through the poppy campaign or education programs in the schools, the Legion has had a prominent role, and Leitch says that it would be a major loss for the community if they couldn’t meet it. “The Legion is very respected and very looked up to in the community... We’ve done a lot for the community, and now we need the community to look after us.”

NEW MEMBERS Bruce Thompson, Darcy Bloomaert and Jim Fulawka are initiated into the Royal Canadian Legion. The initiation was conducted by Peter Wyatt, President and assisted by Sandra Leitch, Membership. The Legion is working to get the next generation of members to carry the torch into the future.

Sask Photo Awards launch

Saskatchewan photographers have a new opportunity to show off their work. The S a s k a t c h e w a n Photography Awards, held with the Saskatchewan Prairie Light Photography Festival, will give someone the chance to get a gallery show. Don Stein, Executive Director of the Godfrey Dean, says their goal was to do something new with a photography prize, and they decided to focus on a body of work rather than a single photograph. Stein admits this is a much different focus than many other photography prizes, and Stein admits that it’s going to be an ambitious undertaking for both photographers and judges. “This is quite a bit more work for both sides, because the judges have to go through a lot of photographs.” Part of the goal is to have “work that’s about something,” explains Stein, rather than a variety of images. He says that part of the challenge is finding a thematic link between the different images, and having an idea behind them. “What we’re looking for is some thoughtfulness. Anyone can accidentally take a great picture with a digital camera, but take 20 great pictures and send those in.” There will be two categories that people can enter. The professional category is the bigger one, and will require 20-24 images, as well as the work they have posted online. Entrants in the enthusiast category have to submit less work, but

are also encouraged to share their online presence. The inclusion of the online element, which is weighted equally with the submitted work, was a way to get a better idea of the artist and their point of view, explains Stein. “In many cases it’s very illuminating to look at the rest of the work that they didn’t choose, which I, as a curator, might find more interesting.” The competition is specifically for Saskatchewan photographers, whether they are located here or an ex-pat identify as a Saskatchewan artist. The prize for the professional category is a solo exhibition at Godfrey Dean Art Gallery, printing and exhibition framing, professional prize of $1,650. There is also the Enthusiast category, the prize being a group exhibition for 4 to 6 photographers at Godfrey Dean Art

EDITORIAL

NSIGHTS

PUBLISHER: Neil Thom OFFICE MANAGER: Diane St. Marie WRITER: Devin Wilger SALES: Penny Pearce CIRCULATION/ADMIN: Michaela Miller

Eenie Meenie Miney... sigh Usually, by the time a writ is issued for an election, there is some indication what the ballot box question is going to be. Considering how short the current election period is at just 27 days, one would think this would be particularly clear for the upcoming vote. It is not. The Sask Party immediately came out with tired old attacks on the NDP, Premier Brad Wall reminiscing about the bad old days of mass youth exodus and long surgical wait times, blaming the NDP and taking credit for the boom times he had nothing to do with creating and squandered. And speaking of tired and old, the Saskatchewan Party election slogan? Keep Saskatchewan Strong. Yawn. The second party is not doing much better. Out of the gates, the slogan “Stop Sask Party Waste” is not really resonating, despite its truth in advertising. NDP leader Cam Broten did make one actual promise, though. He is going to shut down Saskbuilds, the Crown corporation responsible for ill-conceived public-private partnerships. Unfortunately, he followed that up by saying, “First step is to cut the waste, then spend in the smartest, most cost–effective way and be focused on things that actually support the economy.” He might as well have said, “Hosd soptj agjioj paodjgjlj irg pjjpdj, tndf osdfj mlmojf, ifoglsdjfh jgjad pjom kfgjihg,” which is almost as meaningful. Even that, though, is as meaningful as Brad Wall’s promise not to make promises. He is couching this as being prudent with the Province’s finances, but honestly, it’s hard not to see it as a leader trying to coast on his poll numbers, which remain inexplicably high. Perhaps the explanation is that until now, Broten and the Opposition have been basically missing in action. Perhaps we should be grateful that all the parties have saved their campaigning for the actual election campaign, which is, in a way, a breath of fresh air compared to the almost permanent campaign developing at the federal level. Nevertheless, it’s almost like nobody is really trying here. Brad Wall was actually in Yorkton recently, but you’d never know it. He had a private meeting with City Council and then piggybacked on a photo-op about palliative care that had nothing to do with the provincial government. Just a few days before the writ was issued he bailed out on an all-leaders forum on rural health. On the other side, the NDP candidate for Yorkton—does anybody know who the NDP candidate for Yorkton is?—has declined the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce’s invitation to its all-candidate forum. Apparently, somebody who wants to represent us in the legislature has better things to do than represent himself to voters. And, despite some media efforts to spotlight the fact there are three other parties—four if you count the Western Independence Party, which is registered for the election, but has yet to nominate any candidates—this promises to be a twohorse race, although ‘race’ is an overstatement if there ever was one. Kudos to Victor Lau and the Green Party for putting up a full slate of candidates, though. If this editorial seems cynical, Saskatchewanians have a right to be cynical right now. We are not being served by the party in power, unless, of course, you’re one of the government’s corporate cronies. Unfortunately, though, there is effectively no opposition, and no opposition to the opposition either. This is an election that will likely be won by default on the basis there really is almost nobody worth voting for. Apathy favours incumbents, as do good times. Despite growing unemployment and sagging confidence, Saskatchewan has not really felt the full brunt of the tanking economy… yet. Expect really low turnouts at the polls and a status quo result. About the only thing we can really hope for is that maybe the Sask Party majority is diminished somewhat and maybe we get an MLA or two from a third party just to shake things up and make the 28th Legislature interesting.

Skinny bundles won’t fix cable The CRTC’s mandate that cable companies should offer “skinny” bundles, starting at around $25 per month for a basic number of required channels, has not gone well. The companies, as it turns out, are not very interested in actually offering the bundles themselves, and are much more interested in operating in a business as usual fashion, mostly pushing the cable packages that have provided them with a fairly lucrative business for many years. But while the old way of business may have worked for years, one begins to wonder if cable companies might be shooting themselves in the foot by sticking with the old way of doing things. People are becoming less interested in keeping cable around and paying for the service. I should know, I’m one of them, having long decided that the cost and hassle that I associated with having cable TV was not balanced by the amount of entertainment it gave me. I’m not the only person to think this, which is why the number of subscribers to cable is steadily dropping. In some ways, I will admit this is a bad thing. At a bare minimum, it’s going to be bad news for local content, as the primary alternative to cable – online streaming services like Netflix or Shomi, for example – are going to be more focused on the national and international productions rather than what is going on in any particular region. Those services also don’t seem to be interested in licensing things like sports and live events, which does at least give cable itself an advantage. The problem is that cable has not been very interested in changing the way they do business. The old idea, the one that they built their business on, is that you want to have as many channels as possible for the sake of always having the chance of entertainment. That worked when television channels were the only way to access content, but with on demand being possible it’s less appealing to have a large cable package with a large number of channels in it. What people want is the programs themselves, rather than the different channels associated with that programming. People have the shows they like, and want to watch them whenever they like, because that’s why streaming has been able to build an audience. The CRTC’s skinny packages are not a solution to this problem, because they are still tied to the idea of channels. What needs to happen is that cable needs to shift focus from channels to programming itself. This would be a fairly dramatic and comprehensive change to how many different businesses are run, because it completely changes the distribution model, as well as breaking down how content itself is offered. But it’s also a change they

Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger might be forced to make, because other operations have started that shift already, and it turns out people like it. Which is not to say that cable has been unwilling to offer on demand service, it often exists, but it has often been the case that the primary focus is on the channels themselves, which people are increasingly less concerned about. The problem for cable companies is that their entire business is built around tiers of service, the idea that if you pay more you get more premium content. With streaming services, you get all the content for the same price, which runs opposite to how most cable companies operate. However, cable companies can turn this to their advantage, because streaming services are constantly adding and losing content, and trying to one up each other with exclusive deals. To keep track of the eight million streaming services just to get one show is a frequent hassle for a lot of people, and this could be turned into an advantage for cable companies – they can turn themselves into one-stop shopping. This would take a lot of negotiation with these services, of course, and wouldn’t cost less for the consumer. But, with good software design, it could take hassle out of the system for the consumer. Good programming and service integration could take the hassle of trying to remember where on earth you’re supposed to watch your favorite show out of the program, and different service tiers would instead access different programming libraries instead of different channels themselves. There would be overlap, of course, but there is overlap as is with cable channels anyway. Now I admit that the proposal I am putting forward is next to impossible, because you have a number of large corporations who are somewhat stubborn and unwilling to change. But instead of skinny packages and channel offerings, there is an opportunity to patch the cord that so many people have cut. That is going to be finding a way to give people the programming they want with a minimal amount of hassle. Essentially, they have to make themselves the one stop shopping for entertainment, but to do that they have to realize people are entertained in new ways.

The king of planets at his best

In answer to a flurry of inquiries (ok, three), that bright light in the east is Jupiter, King of Planets. It will dominate the night sky pretty much on its own until mid summer. Jupiter is not hard to find; it rises at sunset for the next few weeks, and then earlier each night for the rest of the summer. It is the first ‘star’ you will see at dusk. The 5th planet from the Sun is a hydrogen-helium gas sphere 11 times the diameter of the Earth, and two and one half times more

massive than all the other planets combined. Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, is bigger than the planet Mercury. Jupiter has a total of 67 moons we know of. The four largest, called the Galilean moons after their discoverer, can be seen in any telescope or even steadily-held binoculars. Galileo’s greatest claim to fame, and ultimate downfall, were both stemmed from his observations of Jupiter: his blasphemous report that moons revolved around it drew the ire of the Roman Catholic

The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. Church, netting him a sentence of house arrest for the final nine years of his life for refusing to recant. Since then, astronomers have found 63 more moons, and the Roman Inquisition has given up.

What makes Jupiter a particularly great telescopic target is that you can follow the four Galilean moons as they orbit the planet; their motion is apparent over only a few hours. Add a little magnification,

and Jupiter’s famous ‘Red Spot’ and coloured bands that circle the planet pop into view. Add a little more and you can occasionally watch the shadows of its moons trace little eclipses across its ‘surface’ (decent telescope required). Jupiter’s size also makes it a super ‘Big Brother’ to the planets between itself and the Sun, including the Earth. Its powerful gravitational field routinely deflects orbiting asteroids and comets away from the inner planets. In 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9

got a little too close, and was fragmented into a few dozen pieces by Jupiter’s enormous gravity before being swallowed up. Like a bouncer outside a bar in the rough part of the solar system, he keeps those of us inside much safer. Galileo’s work with the Jovian system totally revolutionized physics and planetary science, but at the cost of his own freedom. Quite the sacrifice, but after your first glimpse of Jupiter in the eyepiece, you understand exactly why he would.

Your letters of the Week MPs should show Canadians the money Last December, a secretive Parliamentary committee known as the Board of Internal Economy voted to give all 338 MPs a 20% increase in their office budgets. The total cost to taxpayers: a cool $25 million. Oddly enough, even though the decision was made in December, news of the Board’s decision didn’t seep out publicly until late February, on a Friday afternoon right before Parliament shut down for a week. Doesn’t exactly scream “transparency,” does it? Twenty-five million dollars might not sound like a lot in a budget of billions, but when rookie Finance Minister Bill Morneau brings down his first budget on March 22, Canadians will be bracing for a massive deficit – with some speculation it could be triple the size of the Liberals own self-imposed “modest” limit of $10 billion.

With so much red ink, MPs helping themselves to a 20% boost to their own staff, travel and other expense budgets is sure to have more than a few Canadians also seeing red. After all, if MPs feel they have such a strong case for this new money, why didn’t they just come out and make it? Keeping the decision secret, only to leak it out two months later right before the weekend smacks of a classic attempt to bury controversial news and hope that no one notices. A more transparent approach would have been to announce the decision at the time it was made – and justify it to a skeptical public. No doubt many MPs will argue they spend their existing office budgets prudently, and need the extra money to better serve their constituents. That’s possible – but there’s currently no way for Canadians

to judge that claim since we know little about how MPs spend their budgets. Until 2009 MP office budgets were not even publicly broken down beyond broad categories such as “Travel” or “Other Expenses.” By 2014, more detail was provided – including itemized costs for hospitality expenses. But details for many big expenses are still vague. For example, what about some MP spending $1,000 in the “Gifts” category? What kind of gifts? We can’t say. A few thousand spent on “materials and supplies?” Again, Canadians are left in the dark. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has proposed an easy solution to all of this: simply have all MPs (and Senators for that matter) post scanned receipts of their expenses online. It’s a system already in place for councillors in Toronto and for senior politicians and civil servants in

Alberta – and since MPs already have to submit scanned receipts to administrators in Parliament, there would be little red tape. With a few clicks of a button, those scanned documents could easily be put on the internet for all Canadians to see. If politicians know every receipt they submit will be available for the whole world to see, they are far more likely to be prudent in their use of taxpayer dollars than if they can assure themselves that “nobody will ever know.” It’s time for our politicians to be more transparent with their spending – and they should start by posting their expense receipts, and show Canadians the money. But until then, Canadians should rightfully question the need for a 20% hike to their office budgets. Aaron Wudrick, Federal Director

CTF urges Trudeau government to budget spending plans To the Editor: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) reacted to the recent fiscal update from Finance Minister Bill Morneau revealing that the Department of Finance is predicting a $18.4 billion deficit for 2016-17 even before the addition of any new spending. “Governing is about making tough choices and it’s time this government prioritized its spending plans,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “Pretending

they can simply proceed as they had planned, in spite of reduced revenues, would be reckless.” Wudrick noted that the Liberal government made firm promises to limit deficits to $10 billion per year and return to a balanced budget by 2019-20, and has now backed away from both of those promises less than six months later. “There was no asterisk attached to those campaign promises that said ‘unless the economy isn’t as rosy as we expect’,” said Wudrick.

Wudrick also noted that the huge deficit projection is yet another reason for the government to refuse a taxpayer bailout for beleaguered aerospace company Bombardier. “The cupboard is beyond bare,” said Wudrick “When the government cannot even afford to pay for existing programs and services, forcing Canadians to borrow an extra billion dollars to bail out a moneylosing corporation would be an enormous slap in the face.”

Black Beer for St. Patrick’s Day Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com

My annual salute to the Irish always includes a pint of Guinness Beer, a delicious black stout from Dublin, Ireland. This fullbodied beer has a considerably smooth finish despite its bold characteristics, and is delightful to drink anytime of the year. Although there are many fans of this traditional ale, there are just as many cynics due to its dominant taste. I have determined however that even people who don’t drink beer or alcohol, can appreciate the unique taste of Guinness when used in cooking. I always question a recipe when it calls for water to be added. Why not add wine, broth, juice, or even beer? How much flavour does water have? Zero. If you want a dish to taste wonderful, and full of flavour, could you

not add something that has more distinction than water? I have always addressed this topic to my past culinary students and preached creativity and improvisation when it comes to preparing a meal. Guinness beer is a very clever way to add flavour intricacy to a dish, especially when the recipe involves red meat. The hearty flavour of red meat holds up nicely when married with the boldness of Guinness, whereas the taste of fish would most likely be lost. A beef stew, for example, made with a combination of beef broth and Guinness beer is incredible. The full-flavoured dark, almost black, broth will not only have them guessing, but it will also have them requesting a second helping! With this knowledge in hand,

think of the endless possibilities of recipe modifications you can now carry out. Try Guinness in beef gravy, Sheppard’s pie, casseroles, soups, stroganoff, or even your next beef and tomato spaghetti sauce, to name a few. You can even try marinating an inexpensive, tough cut of beef in Guinness. You will be amazed at the results. The flavour and darkness of this beer comes from the selected hops and roasting of malt barley, similar to the way coffee beans are roasted. Although Guinness representatives claim that the colour of their beer is actually a deep ruby red, black is most popularly used to describe the obscurity of this beer here in Canada. The smoothness is supposedly from the pure water obtained from natural springs fed by the St. James well. In modern day Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day has traditionally been celebrated as a religious holiday. It was up until the 1970’s that Irish law banned the opening of pubs on the 17th of March. So this St. Patrick’s Day, one

may find it more fitting to raise your fork or spoon (instead of a glass) in a toast to St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland. However, let’s also make a point of remembering Arthur Guinness, who set up his brewery in Dublin, Ireland in 1759, by signing a nine-thousand-year lease. Thank you Arthur!

Trees, Trees, Trees: A Celebration

I’ve never been ashamed of being a tree hugger. After almost four decades, I still pause and reflect on the beauty of the trunks and orange peeling bark of Scots pines as I enter my driveway. For a metropolitan city in the midst of a treeless prairie, Saskatoon is fortunate to have such a large, diverse and healthy urban forest – much of it planted almost a century ago by individuals with foresight who will for the most part remain anonymous. But their legacy is with us. The new full-colour edition of the Saskatoon Tree Tour booklet tells the story of 25 of Saskatoon’s largest and oldest trees, including the ones mentioned below. To find out where you can obtain a free copy, go to the SOS Elms website: www.soselms.org/ Among the oldest and largest trees in our City are the American elms (Ulmus americana), some of which are approaching 100 years old. Elms are the most common mature

street tree in Saskatoon’s older neighbourhoods. Along with the magnificent canopies that arch over Poplar Crescent and Saskatchewan Crescent, there is also a huge elm in the 700 hundred block of Temperance Street. They have a lifespan of 300 years or more but are, unfortunately, at risk of being killed by Dutch Elm Disease. In the 300 block of Saskatchewan Crescent West is a lovely hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), considered the “elm alternative” in that it is in the same family but immune to Dutch Elm Disease. Hardy, adaptable to many soil types as well as urban pollution, hackberry is native to the southern shore of Lake Manitoba. Large and lovely, it is slow growing. It’s not for those who demand instant gratification, but we plant trees for future generations, right? One of the largest trees in Saskatoon is the Plains cottonwood (Populus deltoides) in the 200 block of

8th Street east. Its diameter is over 5 feet at chest height. True sentinels of southern Saskatchewan, they have provided shade for weary travelers for centuries. They’re fast growing but generally too large for urban yards. In the 200 block of Poplar Crescent is a much smaller tree, the butternut (Juglans cinerea) with an edible nut related to the walnut. It does well along the riverbank and is well worth trying in more protected locations Bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa) has long been one of my favourites. A symbol of strength and durability, it has a deep taproot, a stout trunk, handsome deeply lobed foliage and good fall colour. Look for a venerable example in the 900 block of Temperance St. It does best in sandy well drained soil. If you’re after a shade tree with a dense rounded canopy and large, showy cream-coloured flowers, consider the Ohio buckeye (Aesculus glabra), a fine

example of which can be seen in the 1300 block of Cascade Street. The common name comes from the resemblance of the large glossy seed (enclosed by a green prickly fruit) to the eye of a male deer coupled with Ohio being part of its native range. The nut is poisonous – NOT something to roast by the fire. The leaves are very distinctive - palmately compound and a brilliant orange in the autumn. The Amur cork tree (Phellodendron amurense) is a small, slow growing tree well-suited to an urban residential lot. It’s about the size of a Siberian crabapple with attractive cork-like bark. A beautiful sample of this unique tree can be seen in the 2000 block of Haultain Ave. SOS Elms is charitable organization. It was founded in 1992 in response to the threat of Dutch Elm Disease as “a voice for our city’s urban forest in general and its American elms in particular.” Information

about SOS membership (only $10 per year), its mandate and events can be found on the website. In collaboration with the City of Saskatoon’s Urban Forestry Division, SOS Elms will be giving a public information session on DED in June. Details will be on their website. Sara will be offering a garden tour of England in May, 2016. For more information contact Ruth at ruth@worldwideecotours.com or 888-7782378.

NHL salary cap hampers team building

The National Hockey League trade deadline came and went recently. I mention this as the lead in to this week’s observations simply to ensure readers are aware of the deadline’s passing since it was a rather uneventful happening. Sure there were a few trades, a couple, like Chicago picking up rental forward Andrew Ladd from Winnipeg, leading up to the deadline might even affect the Stanley Cup pools a bit. Certainly Ladd adds some serious depth to an already strong Hawks club, which only solidifies Chicago’s odds to return to the Cup finals out of the west. Just to get this out of the way now, barring an upset of some significance it should be a Hawks versus Washington final. As much as I’d like Alexander Ovechkin to win a Cup, and the Capitals do have Saskatchewan product Braden Holtby in net, it’s hard to imagine them winning in their first trip to the finals as a group against the veteran-laden Hawks. It could be a solid series although I don’t follow either team near enough to be watching as June looms on the horizon, but that is a rant for another day, although in a nutshell the NHL regular season needs to lop off an eight-12 games and condense things so that hockey winds up by the first of May. But today let me return to the trade deadline, where we all too often heard team officials extolling trades made to meet salary cap concerns, rather than making a team better. I do understand the rationale of a salary cap, it is a bunch of owners imposing a limit of spending to try and keep themselves from overspending.

It seems sound in that every team is forced into the same financial box, and that is supposed to make teams more evenly matched in terms of roster talent. If memory serves me correctly the NHL salary cap launched in the 2005-06 season, so we now have a decade to look at with the cap. Ten Cups have been awarded since the salary cap, but only seven winners, which is identical to the decade prior to the cap, seven different winners in a decade. Now if you check the NHL about one-third of the teams have never won a Stanley Cup, and they haven’t managed the trick in the last 20-years cap, or not. In fact St. Louis, the team with the longest noCup record, dating back to 1967 was last in a final in 1970, and that was when one of the expansion teams made the final because they were in their own division. In a decade you would think the salary cap would be allowing the also-ran teams to get to that Cup win more often. Of course in the last six years there have been only three teams winning, and two of those; Chicago and Boston go back to the origins of the league. So let’s see how some of those long-suffering teams are doing this year thanks to the cap. Toronto, no Cup since 1967, and a raucous 52 points. Buffalo no Cup since joining the league in 1970 has 58. Columbus 60, Ottawa 67, the Wild 68, Vancouver who joined with the Sabres have 60, as does Phoenix. None of the listed are likely to even make the playoffs. The Blues with 83 are playoff bound, but are hardly expected favourites

Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels to break their near half century drought. So who are top teams? Well it’s the usual suspects as they say; Boston, Chicago, Detroit, the Rangers, Pittsburgh, LA. These teams have had ups and downs but are consistently in the mix. And it’s not because the salary cap has been working for them. It’s because they draft well, find diamonds in the rough in later rounds of the draft they bring to a shine, and they make savvy trades and generally wise contracts. Can you say that about Phoenix? Or Edmonton, TO, Carolina, Columbus and the rest of the generally bottomdwelling denizens of the NHL? Of course not. But the salary cap ensures teams don’t overspend and thus lose gobs of money so it’s a good thing many suggest. That might be true from a business perspective, and yes big sport is a business. Sadly though that philosophy runs counter to what is good for fans. You might detest the New York Yankees or Los Angeles Dodgers or Boston Red Sox for their seemingly rash spending on talent. We laugh when it fails, Pablo Sandoval of the BoSox a recent example, but you have to begrudgingly respect that ownership is willing to write the cheques in search of a winner. Of course in baseball they can. There is no real salary cap.

In the NHL, well most other pro leagues owners have put a cork in the bottle to protect themselves. And we end up with teams needing that one piece to complete the puzzle but are hamstrung based on the arbitrary cap. Or, teams give up on players because they can’t resign them again because of the cap. Would the Jets have let Ladd go had they had an open chequebook? Perhaps he would have opted out to chase bigger dollars with richer teams, and that is the upside to the cap, but maybe they would have wanted to hold onto their Captain too.

The cap simply limits the ability of teams to ‘go-all-in’ and go for a title, and as a fan that is disappointing. Remember in the NHL for every team to win a Stanley Cup it would take three decades. In a lifetime a fan of a particular team might only see his team win once, if at all, as diehard St. Louis hockey fans can attest. So when that door

cracks open just a bit to that point your team has reached legitimate contender status you want them to open the vault, spend the coin, make the run, and finally hoist the cup. Instead, we get moves generally made to juggle salaries and preserve the cap, with winning often seeming merely a secondary motive.
