is a Japanese actress and model. She made her film debut as Shiori Tsuda in Shunji Iwai's 2001 film All About Lily Chou-Chou. She subsequently portrayed Tetsuko Arisugawa in Hana and Alice (2004), also directed by Iwai, Kimiko Tanigawa in the hula dancing film Hula Girls and Hagumi Hanamoto in the 2006 live-action adaptation of the Honey and Clover manga series.

She has won numerous awards for her performances on screen, including the Japan Academy Prize and Kinema Junpo Awards for best supporting actress in 2007 for Hula Girls and Rookie of the Year for continued performances in the field of Films in Media and Fine Arts by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan in 2009.

Biography

Early career
Yu Aoi made her stage debut as Polly in the 1999 rendition of Annie, followed by her appearance as a regular on TV Tokyo's Oha Suta (The Super Kids Station) in 2000. A year later, she debuted in Shunji Iwai's All About Lily Chou-Chou playing Shiori Tsuda alongside Hayato Ichihara, Shugo Oshinari, Miwako Ichikawa, and Ayumi Ito. Aoi would later work in Ao to Shiro de Mizuiro and Gaichu with friend Aoi Miyazaki. With her first roles on the small and big screen came TV commercials and endorsements for Sony, Yamaha, DoCoMo, Toshiba and Coca-Cola.

In 2003, commemorating the 30th anniversary of Kit Kat in Japan, Shunji Iwai shot a series of short films starring Yu Aoi and Anne Suzuki, which later was expanded into the feature film called Hana & Alice, which earned Aoi the Best Actress award at the Japanese Professional Movie Award.

2005–2007
In 2005, Aoi played her first lead on the big screen in Letters from Kanai Nirai, which was sold in Korea with the alternate title of Aoi Yu's Letter due to her popularity. She also had supporting roles in the Satoshi Miki film Turtles Swim Faster than Expected starring Juri Ueno, and Yamato with Shido Nakamura and Kenichi Matsuyama. This supporting role would earn her one of her double-nomination as Best Supporting Actress at the 2007 Japanese Academy Award. She won against herself for her work as Kimiko Tanikawa in the Japanese hit Hula Girls, which was sent to the Academy Awards as the Japanese official selection that year.

To this date, her role as the hula dancing girl from small town Iwaki remains her most successful role yet, earning her a dozen awards as Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, alongside her other smaller roles that year as Hagu in Honey & Clover, and Kana Sato in the Shunji-Iwai-produced and Nirai-Kanai-directed Rainbow Song. Aoi also lent her voice to play Shiro in the animated film Tekkon Kinkreet, the adaptation to the Taiyō Matsumoto manga, Black and White, directed by Michael Arias.

During these years, she made commercials for Nintendo, Canon, Shiseido Cosmetics, Shueisha Publishing, Kirin Beverage and continued endorsing DoCoMo. Aoi also released two photobooks with Yoko Takahashi as photographer, and distributed by Rockin'on: Travel Sand in 2005 and Dandelion in 2007.

In 2007, she participated in the live-action adaptation of the manga series Mushishi alongside Joe Odagiri, as well as WOWOW's Don't Laugh at My Romance, Welcome to the Quiet Room with Yuki Uchida, and going back to the stage to play Desdemona in a rendition of Shakespeare's Othello. For these last two roles, Aoi lost 7 kg for her role as eating disorder patient, Miki.

2008–present

Aoi began 2008 with the release of Don't Laugh at My Romance, which earned her a nomination as Best Supporting Actress at the Asian Film Awards 2009. She appeared in the experimental drama Camouflage (aka. Aoi Yu x 4 Lies), in which she collaborated with four different directors exploring the theme of lies. The series lasted for 12 episodes, and included work with Ryō Kase, Yoichi Nukumizu, Shoko Ikezu, Nobuhiro Yamashita, and Yuki Tanada.

A couple of months later, NTV signed Aoi to play her first TV leading role as Handa Sen in the live-action adaptation of Shota Kikuchi's manga series Osen, which aired until the end of June with ten episodes.

Next, Aoi released One Million Yen Girl written and directed by Camouflage director Yuki Tanada, and also released by WOWOW. This was her latest leading film role since Nirai Kanai in 2005. She briefly participated in the Japanese World-War-II-jury-themed film Best Wishes for Tomorrow, as well as the international Tokyo! - a three-short-film collection by Michel Gondry, Leos Carax, and Bong Joon Ho.

In 2009, The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan named Yu Aoi Rookie of the Year in the field of Films in Media and Fine Arts, citing her work in her film debut in All About Lily Chou Chou, until her work in One Million Yen Girl. Later that year, Aoi provided the voice of Ikechan in the film Ikechan and Me, a live-action adaptation of the picture book of the same name by Rieko Saibara, as well as playing supporting roles in Honokaa Boy and Yoji Yamada's Ototo. The following year Aoi starred in Ryūichi Hiroki's 2010 film The Lightning Tree. She later appeared in Vampire, Rurouni Kenshin, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 2012 television drama Penance.

Aoi married comedian Ryota Yamasato on June 3, 2019. On February 10, 2022, they announced that she was pregnant with their first child and due in the summer. On August 10, 2022, Yamasato revealed that Aoi had given birth to their daughter.

Antigua and Barbuda was the first nation in the British Caribbean to abolish slavery, in 1834. This distinction moves Antiguans to celebrate for 11 days in the summer.
The initial Carnival celebrations, which date back to 1957, took place earlier in the year, between May and July. However, the festival was later moved to its current position on the calendar to coincide with the already established celebration of the slaves' emancipation. Today, Antiguans begin celebrating the Carnival in late July and continue until the first Tuesday in August.
Music, competitions, and pageantry dominate the proceedings, most of which take place in the capital city of St. John's. Calypso music can be heard throughout the celebration, and the annual calypso competition produces a Calypso Monarch. Other contests include a steel band competition and two beauty pageants, which crown Caribbean Queen and Miss Antigua. Every Carnival also features street parades that are famous for their elaborate glittering costumes.
All the proceedings essentially lead up to J'Ouvert, the party on the first Monday in August. At 4:00 a.m. thousands of people fill the streets of St. John's for street dancing, which is accompanied by the sounds of steel drums and brass instruments.

How to reinforce the sustainable competitiveness in Africa?
Date(s)September 26, 2017
Organiser(s)Ferdi, AFD, AfricaFrance
September 26, 2017, Paris
The Sustainable Competitiveness Observatory (OCD), an instrument for continental emergence.
The Agence française de développement (AFD), the Foundation for Studies and Research on International Development (FERDI) and AfricaFrance have organized a conference on the Africa's competitiveness : How to reinforce the sustainable competitiveness in Africa?
September 26, 2017, 05:30 – 07:30 pm Address : salle Mistral-AFD (Paris)
After two decades of significant progress punctuated by rising per capita incomes and poverty reduction, Africa is now facing a marked slowdown in economic growth. Whereas during the last decade the average growth rate was 6%, the end of the "super cycle" of the raw materials is the main cause of a brutal slowdown with only 3.5% growth in 2015 and barely 1.5% for 2016 according to recent IMF statistics.
The evolution of the situation in South Africa is a testimony of the magnitude of the shocks. Under the combined effects of drought, falling commodity prices and institutional problems, the country entered a recession by signing a second quarterly contraction of its GDP. Returning to sustainable growth will require intensifying efforts and amplifying reforms in many fields, in particular those related to the diversification of productive systems and exports, still too dependent on raw materials.
The objective assigned to the seminar is twofold:
To take stock of the continental performances over the last 20 years, highlighting regional heterogeneities.
To better document this analysis and then place each of the 54 African countries on a map of sustainable competitiveness, a set of key parameters that conditions the acceleration of growth. This competitiveness can be analyzed through the reading grid proposed by the FERDI Sustainable Competitiveness Observatory (OCD), an instrument based on three pillars, the climatic-economic and political vulnerabilities, the attractiveness of territories and measures of price competitiveness.
The event will be moderated by Sabine Cessou, journalist
Welcoming address : Vincent Caupin, Responsable de division, AFD and Patrick Guillaumont, President , FERDI
Introduction : Lionel Zinsou, Co-President, AfricaFrance

Report of the conference
On 26 September 2017, FERDI launched the Sustainable Competitiveness Observatory (SCO) in the Agence Française de Développement [French Development Agency, AFD] Mistral building in the presence of around 60 academics, development practitioners and entrepreneurs. The launch event, entitled 'Building sustainable competitiveness in Africa', was moderated by Radio France Internationale journalist Sabine Cessou. The speakers were Jean-Michel Debrat (AfricaFrance), Marie-Hélène Loison (AFD), Patrick Plane (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique [French National Centre for Scientific Research, CNRS] Research Director and Head of the SCO Programme at FERDI), Ludovic Morinière (BearingPoint) and Christophe Angely (FERDI).
Following an opening address by Vincent Caupin (AFD) and Patrick Guillaumont, Patrick Plane introduced the SCO – a statistical tool created by FERDI, with support from AFD and AfricaFrance. Whereas existing databases tend to place too much emphasis on market share and economic appeal, the SCO instead focuses on sustainable competitiveness, combining three aspects: economic appeal, competitive pricing and vulnerability.
Why sustainable competitiveness? Africa's 54 countries are marred by uncertainty. The SCO aims to reduce this uncertainty and foster greater business sustainability by measuring vulnerability.
Where do the data come from? The data are collected from large international organisations, as well as FERDI's proprietary indicators. Since figures always have to be treated with caution, partially subjective indicators (chiefly opinion survey findings) are deliberately omitted from the SCO. Moreover, data are routinely reprocessed and cross-referenced with the local environment. In other words, the SCO is more than just another database. It will be updated on a regular basis, with the aim of producing annual highlight reports. In summary, the SCO seeks to address a lack of reliable investor information, thereby helping private firms, multilateral organisations and the public sector decide where to invest in Africa.
What can we learn from the SCO? Countries across the Sahel are especially vulnerable. Coastal countries have the greatest economic appeal, although they still fall well short of Indian or Chinese standards. The most competitive prices are to be found in the far north and south of the continent. An analysis of input costs reveals a high premium on information and communication technologies (ICTs), low wages and electricity prices in line with India and China. Yet access to electricity is still the biggest obstacle. In order to achieve sustainable competitiveness, Africa needs to invest in human capital, reduce vulnerabilities (especially the security situation in the Sahel), produce more tradable goods across all three sectors, and slash the cost of intermediate inputs (such as electricity, ICTs, and transport and logistics).
During the subsequent panel discussion, moderated by Sabine Cessou, the speakers touched on a range of issues including the CFA franc, how the growing service industry is fuelling sooner-than-expected deindustrialisation of Africa's economies, the economic performance gap between the continent's French-speaking and English-speaking countries, youth employment and workforce training. Marie-Hélène Loison explained how donor investment in vocational training and corporate governance can affect certain competitiveness variables. Jean-Michel Debrat and Ludovic Morinière claimed that there is no evidence to suggest a performance gap between French-speaking and English-speaking countries. They called for an end to such comparisons, arguing that whilst attitudes to business differ from one country to the next, results vary over time and the language has little to do with growth and development. Instead, they said we should deal with this matter country by country, focusing on questions such as energy and infrastructure. They also pointed to the fact that the SCO does not directly address the issue of the CFA franc. Christophe Angely, however, recalled that the single currency has long been a subject of debate, albeit one that comes in waves. He pointed to the political nature of current debates and stressed that there is no evidence that devaluation would boost competitiveness across the currency bloc.
In his closing address, Jean-Michel Debrat explained how the SCO addresses a genuine need, produces meaningful statistics, enables scrutiny and, ultimately, provides greater certainty for firms looking to invest in Africa.

On my morning hikes at Griffith Park, I can't help but take in the lovely scenery and fantastic people-watching. One Monday, a hipster couple passed by doing their morning exercise in skinny jeans and leather boots. A group of tourists searched frantically for any glimpse of the Hollywood sign. And a struggling dog walker was being pulled by a pack of ferocious chihuahuas and poodles.
And as I carried along, my professional people-watching skills couldn't help but notice an attractive man, seemingly in his late 20s, walking my way.
I scanned him from head to toe in a microsecond. He was ringless and handsome and gave off an artist vibe.
Maybe a musician, like me? I thought.
And as I began to fantasize about our wedding day, the unexpected happened. We made eye contact and smiled at each other. I felt a champagne cork pop off in my stomach. And as we passed each other, we both looked back and smiled again.
Now in the L.A. world that I live in, this was a very rare instance. It felt like two woodland creatures out of hibernation. We actually acknowledged each other, rather then burying ourselves in the vast universe of our cellphones.
So after deleting the apps, I vowed I would meet guys only in the real world, face-to-face.
I spent the rest of the hike beating myself up for not saying hi to the Kurt Cobain look-alike. But as I reached the bottom of the hill, there he was, sitting on a park bench, smiling at me.
"Hey, I couldn't help but notice you on the trail earlier, and I had to say hi," he said.
I could feel my gut filling with bubbly.
We got to talking and he told me he was a musician (my people-watching skills are on point!) and that he was new to Los Angeles. The conversation was flowing smoothly, and he asked me for my phone number. I don't usually give my number to complete strangers, but I was so thrilled to be actually meeting a guy in person that I nearly threw my cellphone at him.
After a couple of days of casual texting, we decided to meet for drinks in Hollywood on a Friday night.
When I arrived at the bar, he was already there.
"Hey, it's nice to see you out of your workout clothes," I said.
He ordered a beer for himself and a rosé for me. We talked about the music projects we were working on and the ups and downs of being a musician in the colossal city of L.A.
Things seemed to be going relatively well, but as the second round of drinks came, I couldn't help but notice his leg shaking compulsively as he sat on the bar stool. His demeanor began to shift. He became erratic. He kept looking over my shoulder, like he was looking for the nearest exit, and began talking in a whisper, as if he was trying to be incognito in the crowded bar. Although the red flags were waving, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, figuring he was just being nervous on a first date.
I mean, he was the guy I met in real life, the one who was going to save me from the insanity of online dating, right?
After two rounds, we decided we'd move bars to a place where we could shoot a game of pool and have one last drink of the night.
I laughed — "Good one" — and turned to ask the bartender for the bill.
He grabbed my thigh and squeezed it tightly and looked at me with rage in his eyes.
I was still hoping this was some kind of joke, waiting for the punchline that didn't come. After reality hit that this guy was fully serious, I pulled away. "I'm not going anywhere with you," I said.
When he realized I wasn't in on his drink-and-dash scam, he had to point the finger at someone and justify his insane actions.
He stood up. "You're a liar, you know?" He said something about musicians and artists and not having money. "How dare you judge me," he added. He chugged his last sip of beer and stormed out the back door.
And now I was stuck with the check.
I paid the $52 bill and asked the couple beside me — they seemed nice — if they could walk me to my Uber. I was afraid my "date" might be lurking around, waiting to let me know what a pretentious, fake, law-abiding citizen I was.
He made the foot bath guy look like Prince Charming.
So at this point, I don't know what's worse, online dating or meeting someone in real life.
But for now, I think I'll just stick to being a single musician who can afford to pay her own tab.
Straight, gay, bisexual, transgender or non-binary: L.A. Affairs chronicles the search for love in and around Los Angeles — and we want to hear your story. You must allow your name to be published and the story you tell has to be true. We pay $300 for each essay we publish. Email us at LAAffairs@latimes.com.

About Linnet
About Linnet's Fiction
Linnet Moss
~ On books, food, wine and beautiful men
Posted by linnetmoss in Beautiful Men, Reviews: Books, Theater, Film
1950s, Blake Edwards, classic TV, Craig Stevens, Henry Mancini, Herschel Bernardi, Lola Albright, Peter Gunn
Most everyone has heard the famous theme song by Henry Mancini. But how many people have seen Peter Gunn, which ran from 1958-1961? This was the golden age of U.S. television, before broadcasters figured out that TV didn't need to be good. Each episode was a gem of clever storytelling, with a film noir sensibility and a killer jazz soundtrack. The series was created by Blake Edwards, who also wrote and directed many episodes. And best of all? The star was Craig Stevens, a long tall drink of water (at 6′ 4″, he towered over just about everyone else in the show) whose indefinable air of cool has never been equaled to this day in a spy or private detective show on television.
Craig Stevens has always reminded me of Cary Grant, but with a more American, low-key affect that's perfect for a private eye walking the streets of an unnamed waterfront city…
Craig Stevens as the one and only Peter Gunn. All screen caps of "Gunn" by Linnet.
Jack Lemmon visits Blake Edwards and Craig Stevens on the set of "Peter Gunn" in the late 50s.
Let's bathe the retinas in some images from the first season, shall we? Peter's "office" is a jazz club called "Mother's" and his unofficial assistant is Mother herself (played by Hope Emerson in Season 1). Peter delights in flirting with Mother, who absolutely adores him, in spite of her tough old broad act…
Peter's girlfriend is the long-suffering Edie (played by Lola Albright), the nightclub singer at Mother's. In the very first episode, we learn that Edie is hoping for a ring and a white picket fence (or at least a lot more uninterrupted nights with Peter). He loves her too, but one gathers that Peter's line of work doesn't fit the marriage scenario. Emmett, the piano player and band leader, is sweet on Edie (who wouldn't be?) and Peter tells her, "You could do worse." She shrugs and gives him a rueful smile. "Don't I always?"
Herschel Bernardi plays Lt. Jacoby, the police detective who regularly crosses paths with Peter. The two have a certain camaraderie and a healthy respect for each other. Bernardi is one of the many excellent character actors in the show, people with real faces and bodies who seem much more convincing and interesting than today's television actors. Below: one of Peter's more eye-catching suits.
Most episodes featured a jazz number for Edie or another singer, as well as more nightlife scenes; all the music was arranged (and some of it composed) by Henry Mancini. In Episode 2, Carlo Fiore was Streetcar Jones, a vibraphone player locked up for a murder he didn't commit. Part of the fun of the club scenes is the 50's Beat lingo used by the patrons and musicians, and the many references to classic jazz.
Lt. Jacoby: Pass Mr. Gunn to see Streetcar Jones. How'd he ever get a name like Streetcar?
Peter Gunn: The way I hear it, when he plays, all you gotta do is get on and ride.
Streetcar Jones: Lodi?
Peter Gunn: Yeah.
Streetcar Jones: There's a cool, old cat. Swings way back – Oliver, Bechet, Ory… wild sounds. You dig Lodi?
Peter Gunn: Yeah. You dig murder?
A sexy trombone player at Mother's gives Edie the eye as she sings "How High The Moon."
Pure gold by Henri Mancini.
Another regular character is Wilbur (Herbert Ellis), an impresario, painter and sculptor whose nightclub is devoted to Beat poetry. His sexy girlfriend is named "Capri," and his self-portrait looks like something out of H. P. Lovecraft…
Peter is quite the clotheshorse, and has the perfect body for the late 1950's suits. During that period, the trousers were very high-waisted, and a man had to be slim to look good in them.
In spite of his refusal to commit, Peter can't take his eyes off Edie when he sees her in Mother's. She always suggests meeting up after work… and ends up falling asleep on Peter's couch while he pursues thugs on the waterfront or meets with crime bosses. The pair seem to have keys to each other's apartments. By their level of physical comfort with each other, it's clear that they are sleeping together, but we never see them in bed. His pet name for her is "Silly."
Most episodes featured one or more lovely ladies who were either victims in need of rescuing or femmes fatales. Season 1.6, "The Chinese Hangman," starred the beautiful Marion Marshall as Joanna Lund, a mysterious woman whose attractions are powerful enough to make Peter forget Edie… at least temporarily.
My favorite episode in Season 1 is "The Frog," a tale of two lonely people on the waterfront who find companionship together, until one of them is murdered. Peter visits the other, an old woman whose shanty is full of cats, and brings back a little surprise for Edie…
Craig Stevens died in 2000 at age 81. And here is something that I find touching. He was married to the same woman, Alexis Smith, for almost 50 years. The pair married in 1944, and his wife without a doubt had a far more high-profile career than he did, starring alongside the likes of Errol Flynn and Cary Grant.
A young, gorgeous Alexis Smith. She was very tall for the day, 5′ 9″ and thus a perfect physical match for Stevens.
Snapshot of Stevens and Smith enjoying dinner together, early in their marriage. The pair had no children, and she died in 1993.
Given his looks, charm and talent, I think Stevens should have had a more brilliant career than he did. Instead, he was relegated to supporting roles during a 20-year career in Hollywood before achieving fame as Peter Gunn. Afterwards he had a lengthy career on TV and on the stage (at one point playing Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady).
Stevens in a 1970's episode of "The Invisible Man" with David McCallum. Click for source.
He got plenty of work (The Love Boat! Fantasy Island!), but he never reached the same level of national success. What a blessing that we have all 114 episodes of Peter Gunn as a document of his extraordinary Beauty. I leave you with a final screen cap from a training film he made for the US Army, "Resisting Enemy Interrogation."
Look at this heartbreaker! Click for source.

Never heard of this series or this beautiful man but what a spunk! You have a discerning eye for a fine looking man. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad I was able to make the introduction 😉
Barsine said:
Thank you for the post! I've never heard of Craig Stevens neither, thanks for filling the gap!
Glad you enjoyed him. A longtime crush of mine 😉
Perry said:
I've seen episodes of Peter Gunn – maybe I'm confused ( I probably am, because you would have mentioned it) I thought Mary Tyler Moore played his secretary, and they only showed her legs. Must be some other detective show.
I answered my own question – MTM was in Richard Diamond, Provate Detective, with everyone's favorite one armed man, the fabulous David Janssen.
I agree that David Janssen is fabulous!
"Private" not provate.

Thanks. Found this very interesting history. Glad to have found your blog. Regards from Thom at the immortal jukebox (give it a spin!).
Many thanks! I popped over and it looks excellent!

Enjoying the blog. I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner. I don't mean to sound like a spammer. 'll try not to use bad grammar. And I absolutely will not put a link to some cheesy product in this comment.
I loved Craig Stevens when I was a kid. I haven't thought about him in… never mind. He certainly should have had a more successful career. I also loved his wife. These were two cool people — at least their public personae gave that impression.
Many thanks for stopping by! I can tell you're no spammer, but one of those rare people who appreciated the coolness of Craig Stevens 🙂 I have purchased the complete set of "Peter Gunn" but they also seem to be available online at iMDB if you want to refresh your memories: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051301/

Peter Gunn. I watched the original series with my mom, who was a huge fan, and I'm coming to realize had glorious taste for handsome men. That little piano riff from the theme was my "go to number" at every piano I found for years, even bigger than "Chop Sticks". Reading your article and seeing the pictures, it's pretty amazing how this show was on television and was not censored. Steamy.
I think what happened to Craig Stevens is that he did PG so well that he was type cast as Cary Grant, and since Cary Grant was alive and doing suave roles at the same time, Craig Stevens was not given the roles he could have had. I had forgotten about Alexis Smith. She was beautiful indeed.
I need to watch these again. Thank you Linnet.
Many if not all of them are available free on iMDB, but I bought the series DVD set anyway. You must be right about Craig Stevens. There could only be one Cary Grant, and Craig was a little too close in looks to him.
Midwest, I think good taste in men runs in your family 🙂
I'm happy that we have similar tastes, you and I.

First call for Memorial Cup ducats . . . Goaltender's WHL days over . . . Giants get trade acquisition signed . . . Royals short on D, beat hurting 'Hawks
F Ryan Olsen (Saskatoon, Kelowna, 2009-14) has signed a contract for the rest of this season with Orli Znojmo (Czech Republic, Erste Bank Liga). This season, he had eight goals and 17 assists in 34 games with the Utah Grizzlies (ECHL). . . .
G Mac Carruth (Portland, 2009-13) has signed a one-year extension with Fehérvár AV19 Székesfehérvár (Hungary, Erste bank Liga). In 26 games, he is 2.82 and.923. He is fourth in the league in save percentage.
A LITTLE OF THIS . . .
If you are planning to attend the 2018 Memorial Cup in Regina, you now are able to call your banker and tell him the size of the loan you will be needing.
Ticket packages for what will be the Memorial Cup's 100th anniversary will go on sale to Regina Pats season-ticket holders today (Thursday).
From a news release:
"Ticket packages for the 10-day event will include eight guaranteed games (plus a tie-breaker if needed), with season-ticket holder pricing set at $695 for Centennial-level seating and $645 for Festival-level seating.
"Regina Pats season-ticket holders will also enjoy an exclusive ticket presale opportunity from Jan. 18-26. Season-ticket holders aren't guaranteed their current seat but the host committee in conjunction with the Regina Pats will do all they can to limit seat relocation."
The complete news release is available at the Pats' website (reginapats.com).
Tickets will be released to the general public on Jan. 30. At that time, those packages will be priced at $750 and $700.
If you visit mastercardmemorialcup.ca and click on TICKETS, you will be taken to a ticketmaster site that includes this message: "If selected, you will receive a specific seat allocation. All tickets packages are $847.50 including tax."
Last year, in Windsor, Ont., regular bowl ticket packages went for $595 plus tax, with platinum packages at $885 plus tax.
When it came to single-game tickets in Windsor, round-robin games not including the Spitfires were $75, while games including the Spitfires were $90. The semifinal game was $95, with the final set at $115. You had to add HST to each of those prices, too.
The Victoria Royals were without two veteran defencemen as they beat the host Portland Winterhawks, 4-2, on Wednesday night. . . . Chaz Reddekopp (undisclosed injury) will be missing for up to six weeks. He was injured in Saturday's 5-4 victory over visiting Kamloops. . . . Kade Jensen, meanwhile, began serving a four-game suspension that was delivered after he took a cross-checking major after the final buzzer of Saturday's game. That was for a hit on Kamloops D Luke Zazula during a late scrum. . . . Dan Price, the Royals' head coach, told Cleve Dheensaw of the Victoria Times Colonist that Jensen's penalty had nothing to do with a lack of discipline. The way Price saw it, Jensen was "trying to protect (Matthew Phillips) and sometimes things happen in the moment." . . . With Reddekopp and Jensen out, the Royals have added D Remy Aquilon, 16, to their roster. He has been playing for the Kelowna-based Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. He got into two games with Victoria earlier in the season.
The Edmonton Oil Kings revealed via this week's WHL roster report that G Travis Child's junior hockey career is over. According to the report, Child has a "season-ending" upper-body injury. Child, 20, is from Killam, Alta. He also played with the Swift Current Broncos and Brandon Wheat Kings. This season, with Edmonton, he was 6-13-2, 4.21, .868, but last played on Dec. 15. . . . Edmonton acquired him from Brandon on May 31, giving up a conditional fifth-round selection in the 2018 bantam draft in the swap. . . . In 107 regular-season appearances, Child was 33-39-10, 3.39, .893.
The Oil Kings are left with three goaltenders on their roster — Josh Dechaine, 19, Todd Scott, 17, and Boston Bilous, 16. Scott was acquired last week from the Vancouver Giants.
After choosing not to sign with the Swift Current Broncos, D Joel Sexsmith signed with Vancouver on Wednesday, 10 days after being acquired by the Giants. . . . The Broncos selected Sexsmith ninth overall in the WHL's 2017 bantam draft. He refused to sign with the Broncos and observers thought he might be taking the NCAA route. Instead, he signed with the Giants, who gave the Broncos a first-round pick in the 2019 bantam draft for his rights. . . . This season, he has two goals and nine assists in eight games with the Calgary-based Edge School elite 15s. . . . Sexsmith is the last of the 22 first-round selections from the 2017 bantam draft to sign a WHL deal.
The BCHL's Prince George Spruce Kings and general manager Mike Hawes have signed a three-year contract extension that runs through May 31, 2021. His present deal was due to expire on May 31. . . . Hawes joined the Spruce Kings as an associate coach for 2005-06. After two seasons, he was named assistant GM and director of player personnel a role he filled for four seasons. He took over as GM during the 2010-11 season. . . . The Spruce Kings have made the playoffs in six of the past seven seasons.
A full 117 days since the start of the 2017-18 regular season, the WHL's Official Guide, with the Seattle Thunderbirds on the cover, is available for download. Featuring what appear to be training camp rosters, it arrived quietly this week, a few days after the league's roster-shuffling trade deadline passed us by.

D Cody Carlson (Medicine Hat, Regina, Prince George, 2006-12) has signed a contract for the rest of this season with the Dundee Stars (Scotland, UK Elite). This season, he had a goal and three assists with the Atlanta Gladiators (ECHL) 28 GP, 1+3. . . .
F Curtis Hamilton (Saskatoon, 2006-11) has signed a contract for the rest of this season with Tappara Tampere (Finland, Liiga). Last season, he had 14 goals and 13 assists in 43 games with SaiPa Lappeenranta (Finland, Liiga), and one goal in two games with TPS Turku (Finland, Liiga) 2 GP, 1+0. . . . Last week, he played with Team Canada as it won the Spengler Cup in Davos, Switzerland.
There was an interesting occurrence on my Twitter timeline on Monday afternoon.
Two tweets arrived back-to-back and each one dealt with a goal scored by a Chyzowski in a WHL game. The brothers — Ryan and Nick — must have been close to scoring at precisely the same time.
The first tweet came from Ryan McCracken of the Medicine Hat News, at 4:03 p.m.: "A beautiful set play on the PP makes it 1-0 Tigers out in Cranbrook. Chyzowski finished off a feed from Quenneville."
A nano second later this tweet — it is time-stamped 4:04 p.m. — arrived from Earl Seitz of CFJC-TV in Kamloops: "Chyzowski on power play gives Blazers 2-1 lead with 11:10 left in the third."
McCracken's tweet referred to F Ryan Chyzowski, a sophomore with the Medicine Hat Tigers, who scored his 13th goal of the season for a 1-0 lead at 7:02 of the second period. The Tigers went on to beat the Kootenay Ice, 5-4 in OT.
Seitz was watching as F Nick Chyzowski, Ryan's older brother, scored his 12th goal of the season to break a 1-1 tie at 8:50 of the third period in the Blazers' 4-1 victory over the visiting Victoria Royals.
The Chyzowski brothers are the sons of former Blazers F Dave Chyzowski, who now is the team's marketing director.
When D Alex Petrovic played for the WHL's Red Deer Rebels, his name was pronounced just as it is spelled — Pet-ra-vick. These days, he is with the NHL's Florida Panthers and he has decided to change the pronunciation of his surname. Why? Because he wants to honour his 96-year-old grandfather. . . . Matthew DeFranks of the Sun Sentinel has more on this neat story right here.
WHEELING AND DEALING:
NUMBER OF TRADES (since Nov. 13): 17
PLAYERS: 31
BANTAM DRAFT PICKS: 17
CONDITONAL BANTAM DRAFT PICKS: 4
THE DEAL: The Prince George Cougars dealt F Ethan O'Rourke, 18, to the Everett Silvertips for F Ethan Browne, 16. . . . Browne had been on Everett's suspended list since leaving the team early in November. At the time, general manager Garry Davidson said that Browne "has been placed on suspension as he has clarified his wishes to return home to the Edmonton area."
THE NUMBERS: This season, the 6-foot-5, 200-pound O'Rourke has five goals and nine assists in 37 games. In 57 career regular-season games, he has six goals and 10 assists. In his draft season, O'Rourke had 18 goals and 17 assists in 58 games with the Okanagan Hockey Academy bantam prep team. . . . The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Browne was pointless in one game with Everett last season and had one assist in eight games earlier this season. He has been with the AJHL's Drayton Valley Thunder, where he had three goals and two assists in nine games. In his draft season, he had 77 points, 39 of them goals, with the bantam AAA Sherwood Park Flyers.
THE INFO: While O'Rourke was a third-round pick by the Cougars in the 2014 WHL bantam draft, the Silvertips selected Browne in the first round, 13th overall, in 2016. . . . O'Rourke, from Penticton, B.C., is the son of Cougars associate coach Steve O'Rourke. . . . There is an O'Rourke family connection with Everett. Steve played one season (1993-94) with the BCJHL's Penticton Panthers when Davidson was the team's head coach.
WHY: O'Rourke provides Everett with size and depth up front. . . . The Cougars, who are looking to the future, are hoping that Browne can recapture the offensive ability he showed in bantam. In 2014-15, he had 114 points in 32 games with the bantam AA Sherwood Park Flyers.
@BladesHockey captain @Evan_Fiala gave me a great big smile after a 4-2 victory over the @SCBroncos this afternoon. Some of the Broncos were chirping him for wearing a cage after getting a slap shot in the face! Really guys? pic.twitter.com/sc81hPJeeg

Gawdin was ill, while Heponiemi (Finland) and Steenbergen (Canada) are in Buffalo at the World Junior Championship. Those three have combined for 204 points, including 86 goals. . . . Starting on Wednesday, Swift Current, which also is without D Artyom Minulin (Russia), will play four games in five nights before the WJC comes to an end. . . . G Ryan Kubic, who has played one game for the Blades since Nov. 18, was dressed in a backup role. . . . Announced attendance: 3,760.

Pats have opening for 20-year-old . . . Might Silvertips bring back Tuulola? . . . Toigo says 2019 WJC tickets 60 per cent sold
F Ned Lukacevic (Spokane, Swift Current, 2001-06) has signed a tryout contract with Stjernen Fredrikstad (Norway, GET-Ligaen). He is due to arrive in Fredrikstad on Jan. 3. This season, with Újpesti TE Budapest (Hungary, Erste Lisa), he was pointless in two games. He was released from a tryout contract on Sept. 28.
Pats looking to trade Sloboshan
The Regina Pats have an opening for a 20-year-old following the departure of F Wyatt Sloboshan. A native of Vanscoy, Sask., Sloboshan didn't return to the Pats after the Christmas break and his name no longer appears on Regina's roster.
"He's perfectly fine with it," John Paddock, the Pats' general manager and head coach, told Greg Harder of the Regina Leader-Post. "He knew the inevitable was probably going to happen. Wyatt has been a trouper. He has played super hard for us. I won't say he was on pins and needles but I just thought this was the better way to treat him. He wants to keep playing in the league. I have some interest in him from a couple, three places. I'm hopeful that works out."
Each WHL team is allowed to keep three 20s on its roster. Regina also is carrying G Tyler Brown and F Matt Bradley.
This season, Sloboshan had four goals and 11 assists in 36 games. Last season, he put up four goals and 12 assists in 30 games with the Saskatoon Blades, who traded him to the Spokane Chiefs on Dec. 15. He was pointless in one game with the Chiefs, before choosing not to return after Christmas.
Spokane traded him to Regina on Jan. 3, and he had seven goals and eight assists in 37 regular-season games with the Pats.
All told, he has 44 goals and 77 assists in 219 regular-season WHL games.
Sloboshan was a third-round selection by Swift Current in the 2012 WHL bantam draft, but never played for the Broncos, who dealt him to the Blades on Jan. 1, 2014.
Tuulola to return to Everett?
The Everett Silvertips may be working to get Finnish F Eetu Tuulola back in their lineup for the 2018-19 season.
Tuulola played for Everett in 2016-17, putting up 18 goals and 13 assists in 62 games. A sixth-round selection by the Calgary Flames in the 2016 NHL draft, Tuulola was loaned to Everett while under contract with HPK in Finland.
Because he was drafted off the roster of a European club, the Flames hold Tuulola's right for four years, or until June 2020.
The Flames didn't sign Tuulola last summer and he returned to play for HPK in Finland's Liiga this season. A right-hand shot who can really shoot a puck, the 6-foot-2, 225-pounder has eight goals and four assists in 28 games. However, in his last six games, before joining Finland's national team for the World Junior Championship, he had two goals and four assists and has been playing about 20 minutes per game.
That three-year contract with HPK expires following this season, at which time he would be free to sign with the Flames and perhaps rejoin the Silver-tips.
Of course, were that to happen, he would be a two-spotter — a 20-year-old import — with the Silvertips, who have him on their protected list.
Toigo says empty seats won't be problem in 2019
The 2018 World Junior Championship is through three days in Buffalo now and the empty seats in the KeyBank Center have become a big story.
Ron Toigo, the majority owner of the Vancouver Giants, says that won't happen when the 2019 tournament is shared between Vancouver and Victoria.
Here are three Thursday tweets from Vancouver sportscaster Rick Dhaliwal of NEWS 1130 and Sportsnet 650:
"Ron Toigo tells me the empty-seat problem in Buffalo won't be a problem for Vancouver and Victoria at the World Juniors next year."
"Toigo says ticket sales for Vancouver and Victoria next year (are) 'well over 60 per cent sold.' "
"Toigo says Rogers Arena gave him a great deal. 'It makes the ticket prices very affordable. Trevor Linden played a big role in helping out."
The games scheduled for Vancouver, including both semifinals and the final, will be played in Rogers Arena, the home of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks. Linden, who won gold with Canada at the 1988 tournament in Moscow, is the president of hockey operations with the Canucks.
Later in the day, Toigo told Steve Ewen of Postmedia that comparing this year's tournament to next year's is "apples and oranges."
Ewen's story, which also includes some ticket prices for the 2019 event, is right here.
In the OHL last night, the Son Greyhounds won their 21st consecutive game, beating the Spirit, 4-1, in Saginaw. . . . The Greyhounds are 30-3-2 and lead the West Division by 10 points over the Sarnia Sting (25-9-2), who also are second in the overall standings. . . . The Greyhounds next are scheduled to play on Friday when they are to entertain the Flint Firebirds (11-20-3).

Quite a few stitches but no broken bones and all chiclets accounted for." . . . Saskatoon will be without F Kirby Dach (undisclosed injury) on a week-to-week basis. He left Wednesday's game in the first period and didn't return. . . . Announced attendance: 2,312. . . . Darren Steinke, the travellin' blogger, was in attendance and posted this piece right here.
As I was saying earlier, big night for the Wouters line… him, Shmyr, and Paterson each with 4pts taking all 3 stars in PA. That's right, 3 visiting players named 3 stars in a WHL game. Almost as rare as Bigfoot.
