Hockey League scoring champion, to first-round NHL draft pick to Boston College hockey star to Stanley Cup champion. It’s been a wild ride for Alex Newhook over the past five seasons, but from the time the nimble young forward from St. John’s, NL, stepped on the ice for the Grizzlies at The Q Centre in Colwood, few doubted he would enjoy great success in his chosen profession. Newhook, now 21, shared in the celebrations with his Colorado Avalanche teammates on Sunday (June 26) as they defeated two-time defending Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in Game 6 of the final, to win the series four games to two. “I can’t even explain what this feels like. I just can’t. World champions. It’s crazy to think about. I can’t even believe it. It’s amazing,” Newhook stated on his blog shared at nhl.com. The 5’10”, 190-pound centre recorded four assists in 12 Stanley Cup playoff games this season, including a two-helper performance in Colorado’s 7-0 win in Game 2. Kept as a reserve until late in the second round against St. Louis, Newhook stuck around after that, playing all four games against Edmonton and six against Tampa Bay. While not one of his team’s most dangerous snipers, he was a factor defensively in both series with his ferocious forechecking. Having impressed as a 16-year-old rookie with the Grizzlies and nearly leading the team in scoring, he broke out further in his second year with the team, piling up a league-best 102 points in 53 games and adding 24 points in 15 playoff contests. After being drafted 16th overall by the Avalanche in the 2019 draft, he headed to Boston College, where he collected 58 points over two seasons. He signed a three-year contract with Colorado in March 2021 and scored nine points in eight games with the American Hockey League’s Colorado Eagles. Called up to the big club, he dressed for eight games in the NHL playoffs and picked up two points. He began this season in the AHL but was quickly called up for good after recording 11 points in 10 games with the Eagles. His 33 points (12 goals, 20 assists) in 71 games with the high-scoring Avs tied him for ninth in team scoring. The last former Grizzlies player to win the Stanley Cup was Tyler Bozak, who accomplished the feat with the St. Louis Blues in 2019.

Marie Watmough Acting Director of Corporate Services [Image 5: Plan showing 3208 and 3212 Happy Valley Road shaded (newspaper plan image)] --- ### CRD pushing for return of rail on Vancouver Island (excerpt) Regional district increasing its advocacy for the Island Rail Corridor The Capital Regional District is making a louder call for a return of passenger and freight trains along Vancouver Island’s dormant railway. The CRD board last month directed staff to advocate for the Island Rail Corridor to be protected for passenger and freight uses. That will see CRD staff work with staff from the transportation ministry, four other regional districts along the corridor and relevant federal ministries. The CRD’s transportation committee decided at its June meeting to also increase advocacy at the political level around reinstating the rail system. The CRD has recognized the corridor as a key component of the regional transportation system and the province’s South Island Transportation Strategy (2020) calls for exploring it for commuter rail use. The CRD’s support for new life on the railway is contingent on senior government resolving ongoing claims with several First Nations relating to interests, including land ownership, within and along the corridor. A 2021 B.C. appeal court ruling on one of those claims requires the feds to state their intent for the rail line by March 2023. Built in 1886, the rail line moved people and freight across a 290-kilometre system spanning from Victoria to Courtenay and Parksville to Port Alberni until passenger service shut down in 2011 due to maintenance concerns. A business case released by the Island Corridor Foundation (ICF), which owns the rail system, called for a return of the train travel for those who don’t have access to a personal vehicle. The “highway-centric” Island’s quickly growing population will put further stress on the strained roadways, the business case noted. The foundation also said the gap in transportation hinders the Island’s economic, environmental and social goals. A 2020 transportation ministry assessment splits the Island Rail return into three phases, with the intermediate stage – costing $552 million – providing passenger and freight operations that would include peak hour commuter service along a Langford to Victoria stretch. ICF recommends going with a hybrid $368 million middle phase that would reduce the maximum loading capabilities outside of heavy freight zones. Westhills to Victoria and Nanaimo to Port Alberni would be heavy freight zones.
