Hockey History Made in Albert County, N.B
Monday, Oct 22nd @ the Hillsborough Arena.
For the first time in Albert County Hockey History, a goaltender has scored a goal in a game of organized shinny.
Unforgettable.
Players and fans alike are still buzzing over the events that unfolded, late in the third period of Monday’s match in the Hillsboro Recreation League between the defending champion Hillsboro Whites and the leagues newest franchise the PropertyGuys.com Blues.
With the Blues short-handed and desperately clinging to a tenuous 4-3 lead, the Whites pull their goalie with less than a minute to go … With action buzzing in the Blues end, PG’s rookie goaltender Ryan Maxwell goes behind his net to corral a loose puck and then skates to the top of his crease (stickhandling past one of his own defenceman) and then takes a well-aimed shot in true Hextallian fashion towards the empty cage.
With only a half-dozen ticks on the clock, the biscuit goes in the basket and the crowd erupts.
Maxwell’s goal seals not only a 5-3 PropertyGuys.com victory but a moment frozen forever in the memories of diehard Albert County hockey fans on hand to witness history in the making.
As one might expect, PropertyGuys.com captain, President & CEO, Ken Leblanc has been fielding media requests from TSN, Sportsnet, the Globe & Mail, ESPN, FOX Sports and others but will be happy to squeeze in members of the local media who wish to pursue this story further.
For Interview requests:
Contact Ken Leblanc @ PropertyGuys.com – 860-3433 / 870-0744
p.s….Young Maxwell joins a select group of netminders who have scored a goal in deliberate fashion in organized play. Fore information, see below.
Ron Hextall - Philadelphia Flyers - December 8, 1987: While facing off against the Boston Bruins on their home turf, the Flyers were the first team to have a goaltender shoot and score a goal. Ron Hextall made NHL history when the Bruins had their goaltender pulled for the extra attacker: Boston sent the puck into their offensive zone, but Hextall was the first player to get to it. He realized the golden opportunity and whacked it down the ice and into the net. You can see a video of it here.
Ron Hextall - Philadelphia Flyers - April 11, 1989: Ron Hextall also becomes the first NHL goaltender to shoot and score a goal in the Stanley Cup playoffs on this night against the Washington Capitals. Again, while the opposing goalie was pulled in favor of the extra attacker Hextall sailed another puck down the ice and into the empty net.
Chris Osgood - Detroit Red Wings - March 6, 1996: While playing the Hartford Whalers in Hartford Chris Osgood became the third goalie in NHL history to get credited with a goal. But as with Hextall's goals, he shot and scored it into the empty net at the other end of the ice himself. You can see a video of it here.
Martin Brodeur - New Jersey Devils - April 17, 1997: Brodeur picked a good time to become the fourth goalie with a goal. In Game One of the conference quarterfinal playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens (in New Jersey), late in the game with the Habs down 4-2 they pulled their goalie for the extra attacker. He fired the puck down the ice and into the net and the Devils took the game 5-2. You can see a video of it here.
José Théodore - Montreal Canadiens - January 3, 2001: In Montreal, Théodore became the second goaltender to score a goal and get a shutout when he was just trying to clear the puck from the defensive zone with an innocent flick of his stick. The puck drifted all the way down into the empty net which had been vacated by Islanders goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck. He wasn't even trying to score! That year he earned him the Vezina Trophy and the Hart Memorial Trophy. You can see a video of it here.
Evgeni Nabokov - San Jose Sharks - March 10, 2002: On this night Nabokov, while playing against the Vancouver Canucks on their home turf, became the first NHL goaltender to score a power play goal and the first European goaltender to score a goal. From the top of his own crease he sent the puck down the ice into an empty Vancouver net with 47.2 seconds remaining in the Sharks' 7-4 win. You can see a video of it here.

Geeks Launching 5-year Vision Plan at ICT Showcase
For Immediate Release
April 22, 2007
Geeks Launching 5-year Vision Plan at ICT Showcase
Moncton, NB – Most people are aware of the fiscal have’s and have not’s, but do you know about the digital version? The digital divide is described as the gap between those who benefit from digital technology and those who do not.
ICT professionals from across the globe warn that if divides between the digital have and have not is not bridged, goals of self sufficiency for have not’s are at risk. The problem of digital divide is not new to the ICT sector, however; for most non-profit organizations and the general public the issue is not top of mind when thinking about how they interact with business, government or non-profits.
“Many organizations across this region know that they must invest in technology to keep themselves competitive and relevant in today’s globalized economy”, explains Trevor MacAusland, Founder of Geek on Ice. “There is a willingness among these organizations to embrace new technologies, however; there is an enormous gap related to knowledge and training on how to leverage their technology investment”.
For the past 2 years, Geeks on Ice have invested in over $15,000.00 in computer equipment upgrades for non-profits. That investment has helped United Way of Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB member agencies, however; the group noticed that most member agencies did not know how to maximize the use of their investment and leverage low cost technologies like open source and VOIP. The Geeks committee has indicated that this issue is not only a non-profit problem, but an issue for SME’s in the region who could export products internationally.
Mr. MacAusland believes that through repositioning the Geeks on Ice vision, their group can attract ICT professionals who are willing to volunteer to help organize or fund a Digital Divide conference in April. The Geek University conference would run the week leading up to the annual Geeks on Ice World Championships hockey tournament in Moncton. Geek University would be open to non-profit organizations and SME’s to teach them on how to leverage emerging open source technologies and showcase the region’s ICT workers to an international stage as the group would broadcast the workshops on their website.
“Our group sees a significant ROI for the entire community if we can help transfer our knowledge of technology to those who might consider themselves technology illiterate” says MacAusland. “Through this initiative, Geeks on Ice will focus on leaving a lasting legacy that will serve as an enabler to self-sufficiency for local organizations and the regional economy.”
The group plans to launch the full details of their new five-year vision at the upcoming ThinkNB ICT Showcase next month. As such, Geeks on Ice would like to invite past participants and members of the public to drop by their booth to discuss their goal to eliminate the digital divide.
To register on line for free, simply go to http://www.blogger.com/www.thinknbpensernb.ca, click on the REGISTER ONLINE button and enter the following VIP code: TNB160. Think New Brunswick will be open from 9am -5pm on Wednesday, November 21st at Fredericton’s Aitken Center.

Background
Geeks on Ice was founded in 2003 by an employee of a local software company. The purpose of the event was to provide peers an opportunity to network in a market not traditionally known for its ICT prowess. The vision was to organize an annual hockey tournament comprised of teams from across Atlantic Canada. These teams would converge on Moncton, NB annually to participate in an organic networking atmosphere. The objective was to eliminate networking barriers through sport outside of the corporate environment.
In 4 years, the tournament has doubled in size and has branched out to support local non-profit organizations in their quest to keep up with rapidly changing technology requirements. No longer would a non-profit organization’s services suffer due to archaic or absence of technologies.
With 2008 being the fifth anniversary, the committee has decided to embark on an exercise to set the evolution of open source hockey.

Think New Brunswick ICT Industrial Showcase
This is to up-date you on the Think New Brunswick ICT Industrial Showcase taking place at the Aitken Center Complex, Fredericton, the evening of November 20 and day of November 21, 2007.
Now over 50 exhibitors …several more coming!
We now have fifty (50) ICT exhibitors accounting for 85% of available booth space and our focus is now on recruiting target attendees from government departments, agencies, industrial sectors, and businesses in New Brunswick. See all contracted exhibitors on the website.
In addition to ICT companies exhibiting, we are pleased to advise that we will also have a number of important government departments and agencies in the showcase for you to make a connection between their needs and your capabilities. Our focus will to be to aggressively recruit the target audience right until opening evening.
We have sold 85% of our booth space!
50 ICT companies may not seem like a lot …until you look at the list of ICT firms in New Brunswick. Did you know that with the companies that produce ICT products and services, twenty have more than fifty employees, seventy six have more than ten employees, and two hundred and thirty have more than one employee…and that the complete sector has an estimated three hundred and sixty four companies, but a third have only one employee.
We are pleased to report that as of today all but two of our top fifteen ICT firms are in the showcase. We are also very pleased to have an excellent turnout of companies who as a norm “do not do business in New Brunswick” but are coming out to forge new networks, relationships and partners in support of our local industry, and to be on hand for prospective employees looking to enter the industry from our universities and colleges (many are involved in the showcase).
A full account of all exhibitors is listed on the website at www.ThinkNBPenserNB.ca.
All booth spaces come with a turn-key booth!
Many ICT companies value the turn key package offered when you acquire a booth. When you acquire a booth in the showcase, it comes complete with a professional white hard wall exhibit booth, furnishings, carpet, electrical and hi speed wireless internet. All you need when you arrive is your lap top (and monitor if you wish), business cards, a hand out. Other than that its smile, greet and go meet your industry partners.
While in planning stages we arranged for smaller less costly booths, but, as it turns out, the over whelming preference has been for the larger booths in the showcase.
Booth space includes access to all functions!
Program activities for Think New Brunswick are also included in the booth space cost. The showcase opens for exhibitors only Tuesday evening, November 20 for an exhibitor reception on the show floor for exhibitors to go and meet the industry players in a relaxed setting. Food and beverage will be served during this time (4:00 PM TO 7:00 PM).
Next morning on Wednesday, November 21, beginning at 8:00 AM, a breakfast for exhibitors only will be served on the show floor. At 9:00 am the show floor opens for attendees until close at 5:00 pm. At noon, a lunch will be served on the show floor for all in attendance at Think New Brunswick. Also leading up to and at noon, we will have brief addresses from the Minister of Business New Brunswick and from an exciting key note speaker (to be posted on the website in a few days).
In addition to contracted ICT exhibitors, we are very pleased, and proud to have in our showcase important support groups involved including PropelSJ, CIPS, KIRA (Knowledge Industry Recognition Awards), Rising Stars, Geeks on Ice, the Enterprise Network, Business New Brunswick and others.
Attendees get in free with your VIP CODE!
All exhibitors are given a VIP CODE to pass along to anyone they would like to invite free of charge to Think New Brunswick. Otherwise, the charge is currently $15 for attendees up until show day on Wednesday, November 21, at which time registration is $25. We hope through this process we encourage the right audience attending the showcase. To register as an attendee, you just go to the Think New Brunswick website and register, www.ThinkNBPenserNB.ca.
We are now focused on marketing Think New Brunswick throughout the province …to key officials in government departments and agencies, industrial sectors and businesses with the explicit aim of raising the profile of the ICT industry to promotion support of made in New Brunswick ICT. The Steering Committee (see website for list) is very focused on ensuring that not only will Think New Brunswick deliver an important opportunity for networking and profiling to ICT exhibitors but we are working to ensure the vision of exploiting made in New Brunswick ICT is turned into reality.
With only six weeks to go, we are well on our way to delivering you the ICT industry a premium business development event that we hope will reinvent itself to a much greater event next year at Harbor Station.
As an exhibitor or attendee we hope to see you at the showcase. For up-dates on Think New Brunswick, check the website daily at www.ThinkNBPenserNB.ca
