Grüße und Vorstellung » Noel coached the American Hockey Leagues

NEW YORK, N. Tanner Roark Jersey .Y. - St. Johns is in a place they havent been in well over two decades, but Red Storm coach Steve Lavin isnt jumping up and down in celebration. The No. 17 ranked St. Johns beat Long Beach State 66-49 on Monday night to improve to 10-1.The last time the Red Storm began a season 10-1 was the 1990-91. That team finished the season with a 23-9 record before losing to then-No. 2 Duke in the Midwest Regional Final.We havent accomplished anything of significance, Lavin said.Chris Obekpa scored 16 points and had eight rebounds and seven blocked shots to lead St. Johns.It wasnt a work of art. We manufactured a win, Lavin said. What makes this team special was on display. They find a way to rally and win close games.SirDominic Pointer had 11 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks. Phil Greene IV chipped in 16 points. DAngelo Harrison, the Big Easts leading scorer with a 19.8 points per game average, finished with nine points and 10 rebounds.Were a senior (laden) group, Pointer said. We have people who can step up. (Harrison just) had an off night.Long Beach State lost its fourth straight and fell to 5-8. Mike Caffey was the only 49er in double figure scoring with 10 points.The first ever meeting between the Big East and Big West programs was not one for either teams highlight reel. St. Johns made 27 of 60 from the field, while Long Beach State shot just 32.3 per cent from the field.Both teams were especially cold from beyond the arc as the 49ers only made 7 of 22 from 3-point range, and the Red Storm missed 12 of 15.It was a game where both teams were out of sync offensively, Long Beach State coach Dan Monson said. They were able to force us to turn the ball over in the second half and get some baskets off of their defence. I thought that was the difference.After trailing for much of the first half, Long Beach State took a 28-27 lead on Tyler Lambs 3-pointer at 3:27 of the second half. Following Lambs basket, St. Johns went on a 9-0 run to take a 36-28 lead.The 49ers did cut St. Johns lead to seven, 44-37, on Eric McKnights dunk with 7:28 left. But the Red Storm went on a 22-11 run to close out the game.I felt for the entire game our defence was exceptional, Lavin said. Our defence held serve until our offence (came) in the second half. The defence allowed us to sustain a lead until the offence (came up).St. Johns was shorthanded. Rysheed Jordan was at home with a stomach virus, according to a St. Johns spokesman. The sophomore guard is expected to return to practice later this week and will be available for Sundays game against Tulane at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.Lavin said Jordan did not feel well prior to St. Johns 53-47 win over Saint Marys (Ca.) on Dec. 19. The next day Jordan saw doctors who treated him with intravenous fluids, and he is resting with his family in Philadelphia.In 10 games this season, Jordan averaged 14.5 points and 4.1 assists in 30.3 minutes as the Red Storms sixth man. Without Jordan, starters Greene, Harrison and Jamal Branch received more playing time than usual.This team...its been a gradual progression (of) resourcefulness, ingenuity, problem solving. Now we can make adjustments on the fly, Lavin said. (It was) one of (Branchs) better games. (He) was outstanding. He really orchestrated our offensive attack.___TIP INS:ST.

The 29-year-old German, the 2011 overall World Cup champion, says she has decided "to end my career now.WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Jets have given head coach Claude Noel at least a small vote of confidence, signing him to a one-year contract extension. General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff says the rest of the coaching staff will also be offered some job security as well. "You deal with whats right in front of you and the coaching staff now has got an extension to move forward beyond this season and thats something that we all feel comfortable with," Cheveldayoff said Monday. Noel is entering his third season with the team and the one-year extension will take him to the end of the 2014-15 NHL season. Cheveldayoff and Noel said the fact that it was only a one-year extension wasnt that big a deal. "The term really doesnt determine how you do that job. For me the extension is great," said Noel. "Would you rather have a longer term? I think this is fine." Noel led the Jets to a 24-21-3 record last season as Winnipeg finished ninth in the Eastern Conference, four points behind the New York Islanders for the final playoff spot. He coached the Jets to a 37-35-10 record in 2011-12, the clubs first season in Winnipeg after relocating from Atlanta, also missing the playoffs. The former Thrashers havent seen the playoffs since the 2006-07 season, when they were swept in the quarter-finals by the New York Rangers. "I clearly see that we have to make the playoffs but its not easy to make the playoffs," the coach said Monday on a conference call. Prior to the Jets arrival, Noel coached the American Hockey Leagues Manitoba Moose to the second round of the Calder Cup playoffs in 2010-11. Before moving to Winnipeg, he spent four seasons in Columbus as an assistant coach and was head coach for the final 24 games of the 2009-10 seasson after Ken Hitchcock was fired. Brandon Kintzler Jersey. The Blue Jackets went 10-8-6 over that span but Noels contract was not renewed. Cheveldayoff also talked about the upcoming NHL draft and his dealings with both restricted and unrestricted free agents. He says the team would like to move up from their current 13th pick in the entry draft but there are also teams lower down that would like to move up as well. There is the potential for deals either way. He has started talks with all the teams restricted free agents and is looking to get them signed. As for unrestricted free agents, they have had some discussions with defenceman Grant Clitsome and goaltender Al Montoya about returning. As for the others, such as defenceman Ron Hainsey, Cheveldayoff said he expects they may try the market but he didnt rule out some returning. He still wants to add depth at forward but with the 13th pick, says its difficult to know who might be available. They will take the best player they can get. Centre Mark Scheifele, their top 2011 draft pick, is expected to join the team this season after playing the last two seasons with his junior squad in Barrie. With so many players able to move, exactly what Noel will have to work with this season is up in the air. "Were not quire sure where our roster is right now but that will be determined through time." He says they still have to work on being more consistent and improving their goals for and against average, but he sees lots of room for growth. "I like our team. I like our players. I like a lot of what they bring to the table," he said. Next season the Jets also move to the Western Conference. "It will be a fun time for us and a big challenge," said Noel.
