Annual games a community effort
Children came from Southland, Upper Clutha and Dunedin on Saturday to compete in Central Otago's biggest primary school tournament in one of the region's smallest villages. Millers Flat, population 90, boasts the blue bridge, a primary school with fewer than 30 pupils and an annual sports tournament that has run for 123 years, through both world wars, the Depression and centralisation of rural services. Millers Flat primary school secretary Brooke Reichel said on Saturday 120 rugby and 40 netball teams descended on the village bringing 1500 children along with coaches and extended family. It was a true community effort as locals of all ages in Hawkeswood Mining-sponsored hi-vis vests did everything from time-keeping and updating the draw to manning the barbecue and serving the endless queues of people at the canteen hot chips and pies. Teachers Paula Bissett and Gillian Beel were well wrapped up as they supervised time-keeping at the netball courts. Hats, hotties and horse blankets had all been piled on to keep them warm as the temperatures were well below freezing when the first teams took to the courts and fields. They even had a flask of hot water to top up the hotties, Ms Bissett said. Mrs Reichel said teams had come from Dunedin, Balclutha, Waikaka, Wānaka and Alexandra. It was a big commitment for such a small school, she said. The draw was done manually and former school parent Deidre Perkins had been helping with it again this year. Former pupils home for the weekend were acting as runners between the games and those adding results to the draw, Mrs Reichel said. A big hit with the younger children was the Sport Central Loose Parts play trailer, which contained lots of equipment ready to be used for whatever activity the children wanted to do, from agility games to balance walks. While every conceivable space was commandeered for carparking by 10am, normal service was returned to Millers Flat by 4pm and locals could safely stop their vehicles for a chat in the middle of the main street again.

Lukas Reichel could be a smart long-term bet for the Pittsburgh Penguins amid roster revamp
Lukas Reichel could be a smart long-term bet for the Pittsburgh Penguins amid roster revamp (Image Via Twitter) As the Pittsburgh Penguins retool their core, in addition to possible trades with regard to some veteran assets like Erik Karlsson and Bryan Rust, they should also evaluate fresh prospects for their future. One fella that stands out is Chicago Blackhawks forward Lukas Reichel. At 23 years old, Reichel hasn't found his stride with Chicago, but given his raw talent and his first-round pedigree, he might shine in a steadier setting such as the one in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh Penguins require upside, and Lukas Reichel fits the profile The Pittsburgh Penguins are at a crossroads, one that asks whether they decide to fully rebuild or simply retool around their aging stars. For whichever path they pursue, however, Lukas Reichel certainly represents a low-risk, high-reward proposition. Last season, for instance, he only had 22 points in 70 games, but you can't just cast away the flashes of offensive brilliance he has shown in the past. He scored 15 points in just 23 games in the 2022–23 season, which means he still obviously has untapped scoring potential that Pittsburgh can help to unlock. Chicago Blackhawks Looking To Trade Lukas Reichel? | Potential Offseason Trade Packages The kid was once considered the great hope for the Chicago pipeline. However, due to an inconsistent deployment and the general struggles of the Blackhawks attempting to rebuild, Reichel has been unable to solidify himself in a top-six role. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Private Jet - The Prices May Surprise You! Private Jet I Search Ads Learn More Undo Pittsburgh offers a somewhat more veteran-led environment and structured system, and this might be just the trigger he needs in his development. Rationale behind making the trade The Penguins cannot simply look to shed contracts; they need to build a bridge to the future. Lukas Reichel fits into that; he is under a controllable contract and is still years away from his prime. Unlike a rental player, Reichel can grow alongside the team but also contributes at the highest NHL level right away. This trade would likely not require giving up anything premium-child fare; a mid-round pick or a somewhat secondary prospect would most likely suffice, making it a very appealing risk. Something about Chicago just didn't click with Reichel, so a change of scenery might be just what he needs. From Pittsburgh's standpoint, it's about investing in someone who may be on the brink of blossoming, especially if surrounded by experienced creators like Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. Also Read: Matthew Tkachuk and Ellie O'Connell celebrate their wedding with grandeur weeks after the Stanley Cup win For a team balancing the old and the new, Reichel represents a clever, forward-thinking acquisition. With little risk and extraordinary upside, he just might be the missing piece in this retooling. FAQs Q1: Has Reichel been officially placed on the block? Ans: No, not officially, though several sources have stated that the Blackhawks are willing to move him. Q2: What would Reichel do on the Penguins? Ans: Probably middle-six forward, with a chance to move up if he ever discovers his scoring touch. Q3: Could a change in scenery be a catalyst for Reichel to start playing better? Ans: Yes, many feel that a more structured environment, supported by veterans, might be what Reichel's game has needed.

Laguna Beach graduates hope to ‘catalyze' positive change
Laguna Beach put the finishing touches on its school year by saying goodbye and good luck to 193 seniors during its commencement ceremony on Thursday evening at Guyer Field. Following community tradition, the class of 2025 got a head start on the celebration on Tuesday, when the procession of the graduates to Main Beach took place. Julian Reichel added to his legend at Laguna Beach as the valedictorian. The striker helped the Breakers win the CIF Southern Section Division 4 boys' soccer title this season, the fourth for the program and first since 2002. Reichel delivered a valedictory address focused on encouraging those fortunate enough to grow up in the community to drive success not just for themselves. 'Now, we not only have the power to decide where we will go, what we will pursue, and who we become, but we have the power to catalyze change,' Reichel said. 'I am sincerely proud of our work up to this point, and I'm inspired by the achievements of my peers. I truly believe in our capacity to be more than ourselves and help others prosper.' Lauren Norrix drew the vocal assignment for the national anthem, and Reyna Shahrestany led the attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance. Dee Perry, the president of the board of education for the Laguna Beach Unified School District, accepted the candidates for graduation at the commencement ceremony.

Blackhawks' shootout win keeps Canadiens from clinching
April 15 - Frank Nazar recorded a goal and an assist in regulation, then scored the only goal of a shootout to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 win a Montreal on Monday, preventing the Canadiens from clinching a playoff spot. The Canadiens fell short despite increasing their home-ice point streak to 11 games (9-0-2). Montreal (39-31-11, 89 points) is four points ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets for the second Eastern Conference wild-card berth. The Canadiens would clinch if Columbus loses either of its remaining two games, or if the Habs avoid a regulation loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday in their lone remaining contest. The Blackhawks (24-46-11, 59 points) are 3-1-1 in their past five games as the rebuilding club tries to end the season on a high note. Tyler Bertuzzi and Lukas Reichel scored for the Blackhawks. Arvid Soderblom saved all three of the Habs' attempts in the shootout after stopping 18 of 21 shots in regulation and overtime. Montreal's Ivan Demidov had a goal and an assist in his NHL debut. The fifth overall pick of the 2024 NHL draft signed with the Canadiens last week after the completion of the KHL season. Juraj Slafkovsky and Alex Newhook also scored for Montreal. Joel Armia had two assists, and Sam Montembeault stopped 22 of 25 shots. It didn't take long for Demidov to deliver on the hype. The 19-year-old Russian forward earned his first assist on Newhook's goal six minutes into the first period, and then scored his first goal at the 13:32 mark. The Blackhawks narrowed the deficit on Bertuzzi's power-play tally 80 seconds before the first intermission. Nazar assisted on Bertuzzi's goal, then added a power-play goal 16:41 into the second period. Reichel put the Blackhawks ahead 5:39 into the third period. Landon Slaggert dropped an excellent saucer pass to Reichel streaking up the middle of the ice, and Reichel buried the shot. With just under three minutes left in regulation, the Canadiens equalized on the power play. Slafkovsky got the last touch on a loose puck that squeaked past Soderblom and the post. --Field Level Media

RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg react to controversial penalty
RB Leipzig secured their place in the DFB Pokal semi-final with a 1-0 win against Wolfsburg on Wednesday night, but the result came with controversy. Benjamin Sesko shot from close range into the path of Kilian Fischer, who couldn't react quick enough to move his arm out of the way. Match official Tobias Reichel pointed to the spot and even after VAR Pascal Müller intervened, Reichel wasn't sent to the screen to review the decision. Speaking after the game, RB Leipzig's Ridle Baku discussed the decision, saying that Leipzig had 'a controversial penalty that went in our favour.' Leipzig defender David Raum even went as far as apologising, adding: 'I went up to a few Wolfsburg players during the game and said sorry.' Marco Rose also addressed the situation. 'If I were a Wolfsburg player, I would be upset,' said RB Leipzig's head coach. Wolfsburg's Ralph Hasenhüttl also had his take on the decision: 'I don't think he could see it clearly from his position. The process doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand why he doesn't look at it again.' Later that evening, Reichel commented on the reasoning behind his decision, saying that he 'had a clear view' before adding about his dialogue with the VAR. 'The scene was checked. We exchanged views. He could not refute the parameters mentioned with the images. That's how I perceived it on the field, which is why I decided that way.' GGFN | Daniel Pinder
