On Sunday I had the opportunity to go down to Rogers Arena and take in a Vancouver Canucks practice. Jeff invited me into the dressing room afterwards where I got to meet some of the players as they relaxed the day before taking on the Ottawa Senators. The on ice workout was mostly odd man rushes and power play work with some players like Andrew Alberts staying late to do extra conditioning. Jeff also took me into the weight/skills room–a fun morning for me check out the photo’s.
Congrats to Vancouver CanuckJeff Tambellini who scored the shootout winner on Wednesday vs the Anaheim Ducks. Below are two video’s-the shootout and a taste of what he does with us in the off season to achieve his success.

On Saturday I got a chance to play road hockey at the O-Zone in Richmond with Pat Quinn (Edmonton Oilers Head Coach), Matt Moulson (NY Islanders), Jeff Tambellini (NY Islanders), and BC’s Mayors. After we played the mayors all the kids in the crowd got to come out and don a jersey to play with the NHLers. It was such a cool Canadian experience!! Here is the link to the Vancouver Sun story and some pictures. http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/2010wintergames/mayors+take+finest+Richmond/2596101/story.html
GWA Athlete Jeff Tambellini scored a hat trick against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night in a 5-0 win that included an unbelievable first goal. He now has 6 goals in the last four games and the Islanders have won 3 straight. It was a special night for Jeff as his dad, Edmonton Oilers General Manager Steve Tambellini, was in the stands watching. The Oilers play the Islanders on Monday night. Congratualtions Jeff!
Jeff Tambellini of the New York Islanders scored two powerplay goals last night in the Montreal Forum in a 3-2 OT loss to the Montreal Canadiens. He tied the game with under 4 minutes remaining in the third period only to have Roman Hamrlik score the winner in OT. Speaking with Jeff after the game he said it is all due to training at Groundwork Athletics…..
