International stars are waiting in Finland for fans who are in a debt of gratitude

Louis Tomlinson came to Finland unlike many other big stars, and that's why he has exceptionally grateful fans here.

HS NOWL

The concert at the Helsinki Ice Hall was Louis Tomlinson's first appearance in Finland as a solo artist.

BRITISH ARTIST Louis Tomlinson performed on Monday evening at the Helsinki Ice Hall. Finally, if you ask the fans.

I followed the atmosphere before the gig in front of the ice rink. Excitement was in the air as fans finished fan projects for the artist, purchased fan merchandise and lined up for permanto spots.

One thing was repeated in the fans' speeches: Louis is wonderful because he cares about his fans and also visits smaller countries on his tours that many miss.

In recent years, Finland has also increasingly been included in the countries falling in between.

MONDAY's show is Tomlinson's first appearance in Finland as a solo artist. The last time he took the stage in Finland was in 2015 as part of the boy band One Direction.

Later that year, the band went on a long hiatus, which in a way is still ongoing, because the band has never officially said that they have stopped. The band members started working on their solo career, and they haven't been seen in Finland since.

For example, One Direction's arguably most famous member, Harry Styles, performed in the summer of 2022 in Stockholm and Oslo. Finland had to miss out. Next spring [2024], the Irishman Niall Horan's tour, another member of the band, will cover Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but he will not be seen on the other side of the Gulf of Bothnia.

Of course, the problem is not limited to the members of the most popular boy band of the 2010s.

HS already reported last summer that big names are now touring Finland from far away. The problem is especially that Helsinki lacks a modern indoor arena, while Helsinki Hall is on the banned list due to its Russian owners.

It has also always been geographically more difficult to come to Finland than, for example, Sweden, where you can continue from Denmark. Instead, a ferry connection is needed to Finland, because the gig equipment cannot be moved through Russia.

Finns accept their fate in a kind of "no need to cook for me" spirit. However, if a world star gets lost on his tour all the way here, we feel at least a slight debt of gratitude towards the artist.

Finland's problems did not hinder TOMLINSON's tour.

At Monday's gig, the gratitude of the fans hardly went unnoticed: in the course of a couple of hours, several fan projects made by the audience were seen, some of which were already planned last year.

In one of them, the fans raised signs in the air that read "Thank you for having faith in Finland", i.e. thank you for believing in Finland.

After the concert in Helsinki, Tomlinson headed to Tallinn and Riga. Today, Friday, he will perform in Kaunas, which is the second largest city in Lithuania. In terms of population, Kaunas is slightly larger than Tampere.

Otherwise, you would find a modern indoor arena there.

Arrival to Keflavík · Lost luggage · Birth of the Meradalir volcano · Night in Akranes

4th of August, 2022

After a long flight with two transfers - a busy night spent on Stockholm airport, early breakfast for two (= shared Norwegian beer) and enjoying the sight of a beautiful landscape after departing from airport in Oslo, we finally arrived to Keflavík - only to find out, that one of our backpacks was left back in Stockholm. Knowing, that we have time until the evening for the luggage to arrive, we decided to pick up our rented car and explore the surroundings. As we didn't have an exact plan for our first day in Iceland, our best option was to stay in a close proximity to Keflavík airport. And how damn lucky we were! Only one day has passed since the birth of the Meradalir volcano, and the starting point for the hike was only 30 minutes away from the airport.

Spectacular view of the solidified lava fields from previous eruptions in Geldingadalir, photo taken at the starting point of Route A to Meradalir volcano.

The hike to the volcano itself took us approximately 2 hours of leisurely walking. Vast area of the Fagradsfjall volcanic system was constantly monitored closely by scientists. We watched the volcano from a safe distance from above, nevertheless it was an experience of a lifetime. Later we noticed quite a lot of people in considerable proximity to the volcano and we considered returning back and going closer to the fissure at the end of our trip. Unfortunately, we were unable to do so due to time constraints.

Meradalir eruption, second day (4th of August, 2022).

After this unforgettable hike, it was almost time to get our lost luggage. On our way to Keflavík airport, we made short stops on the south coast of Reykjanes peninsula to observe a few swimming seals and we also took a peek at the Gunnuhver hot springs. First Icelandic word of the day was „hætta“ - danger. One has to be careful around all that lava, geothermal hot springs and pools. But the views are definitely worth it :)

We decided to spend our first night in a camp in the town of Akranes. We managed to watch the eye-flattering sunset, although the sun barely sets and the night is never completely dark in August. If you have to watch your budget, the best option is to buy a camping card at a very favorable price, which gives you access to several camping sites all over Iceland.

First night at the Akranes camping site, which was one of our favourites, as it offers great facilities and amazing seaview.

Muse’s Matt Bellamy on Why Band’s New Album, ‘Will of the People,’ Is Even Better Than a Best-Of, Plus Tour Plans

Matt interviewed in Variety, published 26 August 2022, the day Will Of The People was released.

In a Q&A, the singer addresses everything from his vested interest in geothermal energy and the alarming state of U.S. politics to loving Stephen King and Rage Against the Machine... and whether fans will see a certain giant puppet back on stage in 2023.

Stepping into Muse frontman Matt Bellamy’s Los Angeles studio is immediately surreal, on a couple of different fronts. For one thing, there’s the fact that it’s in an unmarked former storefront on a heavily trafficked urban street, so on the other side of the one-way glass, pedestrians are constantly passing by, unaware that they’re about two yards away from a rock star coming up with new songs to potentially join “Madness” or ”Uprising” guy as new KROQ-driven earworms in their heads.

But apart from the street scene outside practically brushing up against his console, there’s something else about the place…

“I don’t know if you remember the TV show ‘Twin Peaks,’” Bellamy inquires. As a matter of fact, yes. “Do you remember the Red Room? We’re sitting in it, basically,” he says, and sure enough, here in the front room of his studio, there is the black-and-white zig-zag flooring, the wrap-around red drapes, the minimalist lamp, the vaguely retro sitting chair…. Bellamy is a student of fantastical pop culture, so it makes sense that he’s surrounded by a Lynchian throwback space — even if the rock arias he creates here passionately reach for the sky, rather than feeling like they’re stuck in an interdimensional waiting room.

Bellamy sat down with Variety to talk about Muse’s seventh [ninth] album, “Will of the People,” which comes out this weekend. Along the way he spilled the beans on the band’s touring plans, which, besides a few already-revealed stops in small theaters this fall, will bloom into the expected arena tour next spring. He also touched on the state of rock, Rage Against the Machine, Stephen King, geothermal energy, why he’s drawn to rather than repelled by his adopted America’s political divide, and whether we are all really (as the climax of the new album would have it) “fucking fucked.”

Muse’s last album, “Simulation Theory,” felt much more electronic, which fit in with the overall concept you had for that album. With this one, a heavy guitar sound returns on quite a few numbers. Did you miss that, or maybe think the fans missed it?

Yeah, it’s definitely more guitar-oriented. We did a bit of a review of everything that we’ve done up to date and wanted to focus on the parts that we felt like we hadn’t improved upon for a long time, which meant we ended up looking back at some of the older stuff. So a new song like “Kill or Be Killed” — the last time we went down that kind of heavy route, like that heavy, was “Stockholm Syndrome,” which is on our third album. But I think you’re right in saying there was an element of missing the energy of playing together as a band after being separated from each other. … When I started writing songs, definitely there was a lean toward writing things that worked for the three of us to play together, which basically means guitar, bass and drums being the primary sounds, rather than going down the kind of more separated route of electronics and programming and synth basses.

You said at one point that the label had asked you for a greatest-hits album, and instead you wanted to come up with something new that feels like it should be a greatest-hits set. Is that about right?

Our contract with the record label meant that we were due to do a best-of, but I spoke to ’em about it and we weren’t very keen on doing that. We preferred the idea that we could either defer that down the line or just not do it all. We’re old-fashioned in thinking that when you do a greatest hits, it seems like the end or something. So with that in mind, that was one of the reasons why we started thinking: Well, what are our hits? And, like, do we even have any? I don’t think we do, but we do have songs that are the most popular songs with our fan base, and we started going through what our best-of or greatest-hits would even look like. And the bottom line was, we were like, God, we could do that so much better now. Some of these old songs from 2002 or something that would probably be on there, we felt like we could just better it. So that was trying to give ourselves a high bar to really strive harder, to almost make a definitive album that would be the album that I would show to people if they were asking, “What is Muse?” Would I give them a greatest hits album? Or would I give them this album? I think at this point I would give them this, in terms of a representation of all of the things that we do on one record, and represented in a good way.

It’s a cliche to ask, is this your pandemic album? But it seems like, thematically, the pandemic combined with a lot of other things going on in the world to put you a bit back in an apocalyptic mood.

We’ve always had elements of sort of dystopian fears for the future. And even though we’ve usually stayed in the realms of the relative safety of fiction, I’d say that this album sort of collided with reality a little bit. And I think that’s what was quite different about this album. There’s similar themes on this album that you’d find on songs like “Resistance” in 2009, or “Absolution” in 2000 [2003]. But the difference was the time that this album came out, where it was unavoidable that it collided with things that I’d say were less about the pandemic and more about, let’s say, the overall division in the West, and the American empire being under threat from internal and external disorder, and how that could play out in the next few decades.

On the lighter side of the album, you invoke the horror genre on the new song “You Make Me Feel Like It’s Halloween.”

It’s clearly like a bit tongue-in-cheek: here comes the church organ and a few scream sound effects. I’m a big fan of Stephen King. I read his book “On Writing” around the time I started making the album as well, and it reminded me of how much he was quite influential on a lot of the films that I liked when I was growing up, and how even TV shows we see today like “Stranger Things” owe a hell of a lot to him. So I ended up making that song a bit of a homage to him, putting quotes from “Misery” and “The Shining” in there. Both those films really resonated for me with the isolation of the pandemic experience, in some way.

When “Ghost” came up in the running order, it was like, well, here is a breakup song — and that kind of song is always unusual for Muse, where there are not so many relationship lyrics, but “Madness” is a famous one in the middle of “The 2nd Law.” But then you said something somewhere that made it seem like it is not about lovers having parted, but was inspired by deaths that occurred during the pandemic.

Yeah, I like the idea that songs can be interpreted different ways. During the pandemic period, because I was alone in the studio for about a period of six months where even Dom wasn’t here for a while, I started doing a couple songs on my own, on the piano. I put out a few covers of songs where I played acoustically; I’ve already done a couple on the acoustic guitar, but then I did a couple of piano. It was just something to do during that period, but that also led to the “Ghost” song, which was in that stripped-down style, created in the middle of that isolation/loneliness period. And yeah, (it was) reflecting on previous relationships. But I was also trying to connect it in some way to what was happening in the world, in terms of people experiencing terrible loss, especially elderly couples where someone passes away. The media was all hyped up with all the science arguments and that kind of stuff, but behind all of that, there was obviously a terrible tragedy taking place, and it wasn’t something that I necessarily thought there was enough coverage of in the media.

Speaking of that softer side, you’ve said that, left to your own devices, your solo music might sound more like Enya than stuff that’s as heavy as Muse.

I’ve always had a little thing for modern sort of ethereal, classical stuff. I listen to a lot of stuff that’s completely different to Muse, but I found myself in a band with two guys that want to rock real hard. So I think one of the unusual dynamics in the band is that you’ve got me, who probably as a natural inclination leans toward some pretty different music to what we do together. I’ve always been really into classical music in general. But I mean, obviously I love rock music as well. Rage Against the Machine is one of my favorite bands. I went to New York this last weekend, and I saw them play twice.

I was going to mention a level of commonality between you and Rage Against the Machine, but worried it would be an overreach.

I mean, obviously, politically, I’m not gonna pretend to be in the same sphere as them. They’re fighting for really serious causes, to do with the backgrounds of the band members. But I’ve got massive respect for the passion they put into it, and the musicality.

In terms of live performance, you have some theater shows coming up in America this fall, but we haven’t heard much yet about the massive worldwide tour people would expect to follow this album.

We are doing one. We’re just booking at the moment. It starts in January in Mexico, and then we’re doing probably our most extensive North American arena tour, which is gonna be from, I think, February through to April. Then we finish up with a European tour — of our own venues, and not festivals necessarily. We did a few festivals just now in Europe that were supposed to happen in ‘21 but got pushed back to ‘22. Really, those shows we just did now were kind of out of place in a way. But after the album comes out, we do a few little theater shows and bits and pieces just to kind of test out some of the new songs, and then next year will be a pretty extensive tour.

On the last major tour, you had that very big guy (a massive animatronic figure) on stage. Do you think about: How do we top that?

The “big guy” — or the big girl! — I feel like is gonna be here to stay. We feel like we’ve created a mascot, in a way, but we’re gonna make them look different for this tour. On the last tour, it was a big kind of cyborg/skeleton thing or something. On this tour, it’s gonna be more a hooded, masked kind of revolutionary-looking figure of some kind, who’s gonna be a big monster on stage. It’s like the revolutionary monster, basically, in all of us.

Being a citizen of both England and America, and seeing the turmoil in the U.S. over the last few years — along with being affected by fires where you live — did you ever think of moving back to the U.K. permanently?

I usually go back a lot anyway. But Dom (Howard), the drummer of the band, did actually go down that road of “I want to go home, I want to go back to England, where it feels safe.” And when you go to England after being somewhere like L.A. for a long time, England does seem very safe by comparison. In America in general, obviously there’s the gun culture and everything here that doesn’t exist in the U.K., and natural disasters that you get in California, and also the political division. We do get that in the U.K, but it doesn’t come in the same format that it comes here, which is genuinely quite crazy. But oddly, I went the other way. I actually wanted to stay here and be in the eye of the storm, if you like, because America is where it’s going down. It’s where the whole world is, America right now. And where’s this going? America’s a couple of steps away from going in a really crazy direction, you know? We just don’t know. I’m talking more about the division and the potential for real civil unrest, on a grand scale.

And so I think being literally where we are right now in this room, looking out that window during the making of the album, was really kind of fascinating. I saw everything out that window, from the initial shutdown of everything, a lot of the shops going out of business, to the looting and smashing windows. I had this place boarded up at one point. And then the National Guard coming in with tanks, and people walking around with machine guns on this street — seeing all that happen just right outside that window just was pretty full-on. I’ve never made an album that close to real shit happening.

So the passion and the sense of threat in those songs is not just manufactured.

Yeah, I mean, you add the wildfires into the equation, where we got evacuated from our home; then you add the January 6 riots to this equation. We had a baby in June 2020, and shortly after was when I started coming in here to work, and I was alone, largely, on a day-to-day basis, when I was working here. All that stuff I described all happened here right in front of us. And when [the original owner of the studio] moved to Vermont, and the general vibe was like Dom saying, “I wanna get back to England,” I was like the only one that’s like, “No, I want this space. I wanna be honest. I wanna stay here and see what happens.” [The trio did a lot of the work on the new album over Zoom, but convened to put the finishing touches on the record at Abbey Road in London.]

You have described yourself as formerly a left-leaning libertarian who is looking for a new term to describe yourself or where you’re at. Centrism isn’t enormously popular nowadays, but you are still interested in hearing what people are saying on all sides and interested in solutions that you think could address grievances that you think different political factions may have in common, although they don’t realize it.

With the division that’s going down in America, I am watching it from an outsider’s perspective, being from the UK. And having some basic understanding of geopolitics, I feel like finding common ground between these two crazy factions in the United States that dislike each other, to get back to a state where the people of the U.S. feel unified as one on some issues, at least, is not just a matter of national security. It’s a matter of international security. I think that’s how serious it is, in my opinion, you know? I feel like, if it falls into disarray, then bigger, powerful entities are gonna move in. Not necessarily physically move in, but they’re gonna move into the global stage as major players, and therefore their ideologies are going to start to infiltrate everything in the West.

Your songs have been coopted by the left and right. When there’s an anti-authoritarian theme to them, maybe everyone believes it’s the other side that’s authoritarian.

I’d say the most common theme is fighting for some kind of freedom, or having that instinct of wanting to reject elements of where you feel like your freedom’s being taken away. And obviously that can be hijacked by extremists on both sides. … If there is any common ground at all between these two extremely different viewpoints that are battling themselves out as the West kind of crumbles in on itself, it’s the idea that there needs to be something that puts the powers that be, let’s say — or the elites; I hate using those words — in check. The populism that we’ve seen emerging in the last 10 years on both sides, I’m intrigued by: What’s the common theme? … It seems to be the idea that there’s kind of powerful entities, powerful corporations, and even maybe potentially powerful individuals, which are not necessarily doing anything for the gain of the people. They’re doing things for the gain of, you know, shareholders — call it whatever. And I think keeping grotesquely large power in check is what I see as the common theme… I think we see a lot of a hell of a lot of words being thrown at each other and loads of division essentially emerging out of something where I’m wondering if there is actually a common ground there — about keeping large, centralised power in check, and especially huge corporations that do massive environmental damage, keeping them in check.

If it could ever happen, if we could ever get there, I don’t know how we do it necessarily, but if there could be a type of change that could take place that could make some of the divisions we’re seeing now dissipate to some extent, there’d be a new power structure that could work. It’s a little vague because there’s certain things I can say that actually do resonate with both sides. And that’s the confusion in me. It’s like, I do believe in individual freedom, but I do also believe in shared land ownership. So how do you pair those things off?

But flipping the story a little bit, something else I enjoy about being in California is also that the types of people that are here are really big risk-takers. And I think that might be connected to the fact that everyone’s living on the edge of a tectonic plate. I don’t know what it is! But for some reason it seems to attract people that are really risk-taking, entrepreneurial people. Obviously you get a hell of a lot of hustlers as well. But it’s fascinating seeing all those people working in the startup industry, if you like, from obviously Silicon Valley all the way down to here. I’ve had some involvement in that, and I’ve been lucky enough to rub shoulders with really great people working in the fields of solving issues to do with climate change and stuff like that. And getting involved in that investment community a little bit has really actually given me a lot of hope about some of the solutions and the biggest problems that we face, like climate change.

For example, there’s really amazing things happening with geothermal as being a real genuine solution to the fossil fuel industry issue, and there’s lots of new startups in that space now. Also, nuclear fusion is another amazing technology, which is probably about a couple decades away. But I feel like that’s another reason why I like being here. It’s not just being around all the creative people that live in this part of the world, but also being around the people that are really technologically genius creators as well.

The new album climaxes with “We Are Fucking Fucked.” With the optimism you have about something like geothermal, it sounds like that level of pessimism is not necessarily where you are right now. But maybe that song is you in one mood that doesn’t define where you’re at all the time.

Well, I think I learned this from a film study class I did once. Films usually follow a straightforward pattern, which is a kind of equilibrium that goes into disequilibrium, then it comes back to equilibrium at the end for the happy ending. But whenever someone creates a film or a book that ends on a sort of tragedy of some kind, or ends on something bad, what happens is, it leaves the viewer or the listener in a state where they can’t help but feel compelled to do something about creating an equilibrium that isn’t there. When I was studying films briefly, that’s what someone told me: If you wanna do something where you leave it to the actual person who’s watching or reading or consuming the art… if you leave them in a state with an unhappy ending … they can walk away from it and go, “Maybe I need to do something about this.” So that was one of the reasons why I put “We Are Fucking Fucked” at the very end. Hopefully people come away from it and go like, “Well, are we? I don’t know about that. Maybe I’ll do this…”

In practical terms, it seems like it also would probably be hard just to follow a song called “We Are Fucking Fucked.”

Yeah, the other thing is that it didn’t fit anywhere else on the album.

You have these massive arena tours around the world, but you’ve said you don’t get much recognized out on the street. It feels like that must be the best of both worlds, as rock stars have it — being this bigger-than-life stage persona and then being able to have somewhat of a normal life.

Yeah, for sure. I’m glad. I’ve seen all sides, though. I was in a relationship with someone much more famous than me [Bellamy was engaged to and has a son with Kate Hudson; that relationship ended in 2014], and I’ve seen insane levels of fame, where everywhere you go, someone is putting cameras in your face. That is not for the faint-hearted, that’s for sure. Especially if you have any kind of introverted personality traits, then that’s not gonna go down well. But we’re very, very lucky to be where we are, and I think it’s nice (how) if I ever bump into someone who knows who we are, someone sees me, usually somebody’s like, “Oh, I saw you a couple years ago. Great show, blah, blah,” and there’s a little picture or something. It’s never invasive or problematic in any way. I have experienced the other, though.

Do you have a sense of who the average Muse fan is these days?

It’s a huge age range now in our shows. It wasn’t like that in the early years, for sure. The crowd always seemed to be mainly our age or just a bit younger. We never really had a big teenage fan base until we had a song called “Supermassive Black Hole” that went into a “Twilight” film, and suddenly our shows had a lot of teenagers turning up. I think it’s gone the other way now, where we now have people at our age and their kids are now coming into teenage years.

And then there’s the older crowd that likes us, because I think we are maybe one of the last rock bands around that still have overhangs of what the 20th century rock sound was — even going back to the ‘60s, but more so the ‘70s kind of rock leanings. I think that brings in some of the older kind of Queen/Pink Floyd fans, maybe. So we literally see an absolutely full, probably three-generation age range now in our shows, and we love that.

You’re also considered alternative rock, and that in itself has become kind of an oldies format, with a concentration on stuff from the mid-‘90s through to the mid- or late 2000s, which means your early stuff is considered the reliable “classics” of that format at this point.

Rock obviously is not a global force in the way that it was in the mid-20th century, but it’s still got a longevity to it. It’s one of the few genres of music where you can actually grow old. It’s been proven now I think you can grow gracefully and rock. I mean, the Rolling Stones have proven it, and it looks like U2 are on their way to proving it. And I think there’s not many other musical genres really where you can do that. I think pop and dance music and all that kind of stuff, having a career that spans three decades is probably a lot harder, you know?

Your fan base crosses boundaries also because so few acts are capable of coming up with those grand melodies for something that has some real aggression to it.

And the melodic sense, I guess, is what’s really missing in sort of heavy or heavy-ish music. So I think rock as just a wide term that describes all of the music from the ‘60s on or ‘50s on… you feel like you’re just slightly less inhibited by fashion and by trend. It’s just not quite as important as it is if you’re a pop act, where you’ve gotta have your finger on the pulse and gotta be working with the right producers and the right video makers and gotta just be hot all the time. That’s kind of exhausting.

I think for us, we’ll all happily take influences from any point in time in music, but also the history of rock is something we have on our side. I mean, we could go down a road of where we could do a song that sounds a bit like Queen, we can do a song that sounds a bit like U2, we can do a song that sounds a bit like Depeche Mode — and we could do all of that within one song. And all those things are multiple decades out of fashion, in a way, but it doesn’t really matter. Because I think operating in the sphere of rock is almost like the new jazz, or the new classical — it’s kind of timeless. I hope it feels like it’s become like a timeless genre, which is no longer in the mainstream, but is still important to a lot of people.

🍔 Review № 582 ━ 📍 Hailey’s Food Truck ★★★☆☆ • Hailey’s Food Truck started rolling through the streets of Stockholm in the spring of 2021, and were awarded Best Burger at the Nordic Food Truck Championships in 2022. This piqued our interest of course, so we recently visited them during a food festival in downtown Kungsträdgården. Their short menu consists of four burgers, with one vegetarian and one vegan variety, costing between 115 and 125 SEK (11–12 USD). French fries cost an additional 30 SEK (3 USD). • We ordered a Hailey’s Burger with a 135-gram beef patty, cheddar, lettuce, red onion and their house sauce. It was promptly served in a paper pocket next to the french fries in a sturdy paper box. The potato bun had been toasted nicely on the inside, and the patty had a decent crust. The meat was juicy and we enjoyed both the seasoning and its textures. The vegetables felt nice and fresh too, but had unfortunately been covered in large amounts of their burger sauce. It had a distinct and overpowering aftertaste of turmeric. Tastewise it wasn’t too bad in itself, but the flavours didn’t work too well on a burger, and it also made our meal unnecessarily soft and wet. The french fries could have been a bit heftier and had a more distinct potato flavour. • Hailey’s Food Truck serve a rather fresh food truck burger that’s worth trying out if you see them in town. They’re no award-winners in our book, but we still appreciate their presence in Sweden’s capital. ━ @haileysfoodtruck #burger #burgers #burgertime #burgerporn #burgerdudes #burgerlovers #food #foodie #hamburger #hamburgare #stockholm #stockholmburgers #sthlm #sthlmburgers #🍔 #🍟 #🇸🇪 (at Stockholm, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CihGqFnjAQG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HARTFORD WOLF PACK GET 6 FROM NY RANGERS

By: Alex Thomas, Hartford Wolf Pack HARTFORD, CT – New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced on Sunday that the club has assigned six players to the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack. The club has assigned goaltender Olof Lindbom, defensemen Seth Barton, Zach Berzolla, and Ryan McCleary, and forwards Maxim Barbashev and Sahil Panwar to the Wolf Pack. Lindbom, 23, made his AHL debut with the Wolf Pack during the 2022-23 season, appearing in one game. He also appeared in 28 games with the ECHL's Jacksonville Icemen, posting a record of 17-10-1. Lindbom, a native of Stockholm, Sweden, was selected in the second round, 39th overall, by the Rangers in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. Barton, 24, appeared in 36 games with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins during the 2022-23 season. He scored five points (2 g, 3 a) in the AHL while also collecting eight points (2 g, 6 a) in 10 ECHL games with the Toledo Walleye. The native of Kelowna, BC, also appeared in 13 Kelly Cup Playoff games with the Walleye, scoring 13 points (1 g, 12 a). He signed an AHL contract with the Wolf Pack on July 12, 2023. Berzolla, 25, appeared in four games with the AHL's Rochester Americans a season ago, registering one goal. He also dressed in 56 ECHL games with the Cincinnati Cyclones, scoring a career-high 25 points (6 g, 19 a). The native of Howell, New Jersey, signed an AHL deal with the Wolf Pack on July 13, 2023. This is his second stint with the club. Berzolla skated in eight games with Hartford during the 2021-22 season. McCleary, 20, joined the Rangers on a professional tryout (PTO) before training camp last week. He appeared in 66 games with the WHL's Portland Winterhawks a season ago, scoring 31 points (13 g, 18 a). The native of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, scored two points (1 g, 1 a) in nine WHL playoff games last spring. He was selected in the seventh round, 194th overall, of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. Barbashev, 19, notched a career-high 65 points (32 g, 33 a) in 67 games with the QMJHL's Moncton Wildcats during the 2022-23 campaign. He tacked on eight points (4 g, 4 a) in 12 QMJHL playoff games last spring, then joined the Wolf Pack on an amateur tryout agreement (ATO) following his junior season. He did not, however, make his AHL debut. Barbashev, a native of Moskva, Russia, was selected by the Rangers in the fifth round, 161st overall, of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. Panwar, 21, signed with the Wolf Pack as a free agent on July 10, 2023. He split his 2022-23 season between the OHL's Peterborough Petes and Hamilton Bulldogs. With the Petes, Panwar scored 17 points (10 g, 7 a) in 34 games. While with the Bulldogs, Panwar collected 52 points (21 g, 31 a) in 34 games, giving him 69 points (31 g, 38 a) in 68 regular season games. The Wolf Pack kick off the home portion of their 2023-24 season at the XL Center on Friday, October 20, when the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins come to town. The puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. The full 2023-24 Wolf Pack schedule can be viewed HERE.

Justin Noe Uses Experience Moving Around the Country to Help Others

“I grew up in Brooksville. After graduating from Hernando High School, I joined the military,” Justin Noetells me. We originally met at Innovation Collective’s Coffee and Concepts event over a year ago. This isa place where entrepreneurs come to flush out ideas and discuss how new technology may help themgrow their ideas. Justin’s brother, Seth, was there too. Justin and Seth are partnered in a business thatrevitalizes homes that have become run down, turning them into beautiful rental properties. As an active real estate agent at Heart of Florida Realty in the Nature Coast area, a real estate investor, co-founder of Twin Pillars Investments, Brooksville Investment Group, and The Real Estate Co-Op, Justin is more than knee-deep in the real estate business. He grew up in Brooksville, joining the Marine Corps at the age of eighteen. Justin’s journey moved him and his family across the country four times, to six different states, and fourteen different homes before returning to his hometown. Today, Justin and his wife, Lina, run their family business with God at the helm. Their goal is to grow their real estate team to #1 on the Nature Coast and in the State of Florida. From humble beginnings outside a base in Maryland to partnerships and commercial space, Justin Noe Real Estate is excited to be part of a growing community that eschews good values. Justin retired from 20 years in the military after I met him, moving into real estate full-time. Lina handles all the marketing, social media, and some real estate sales duties for their businesses. Lina is a soft-spoken woman from Sweden. They have four beautiful daughters, Callie (16), Ella (14), Annabelle (11), and Gracie (6). Each of the girls has Lina’s beautiful blond hair and their parents’ strong work ethic – and each was born in a different state! The day I met Justin at Innovation Collective's Coffee and Concepts gathering in 2022. Image courtesy of Justin Noe. Justin and Lina met in 2005 while he was on active duty in California. Lina was working as an au pair for a Swedish family and a mutual friend introduced them. The two found out that they were born within a day of each other and fell in love. How the Noes Got into Real Estate In 2010, Lina bought Justin the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, a 1997 book that teaches the importance of building wealth through assets, real estate investing, starting, and owning businesses, as well as increasing one's financial IQ. It changed his mindset and in 2011 they began their real estate business by investing in their first home, a rental, while stationed in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The Noe family visited Sweden this year and spent time with Lina's family. Here they are in Stockholm. Image courtesy of Lina Noe. The Noes moved around the country, buying another home in North Carolina and fixing it up. “It wasn’t in the best neighborhood, but it was near the base. We lived in it for a year and got robbed!” Justin shares. “With our family, we couldn’t stay there. So, I found us a beautiful neighborhood and we got another home there. It was going to be our forever home." Another Transfer – Another Home "I had one more year in the military when I got a call from my boss," Justin continues. "He said he needed me to go to Colorado. I told him how much we liked it here and how much Lina loved the neighborhood. He replied that I was really going to like Colorado, so… we went. And we got closer as a family.” Colorado turned out well. Justin and Lina brought the girls to Brooksville in April of 2019 to spend their Spring Break with family and went looking for investment properties. The girls got to see where Dad grew up and the parents found a house for $60,000! When they called the realtor, it had been sold, but she sent them listings. Fourteen Houses in Fifteen Years “We learned a lot about buying and selling real estate as we traveled and invested. I wanted to share what I’ve learned with others, so I chose this profession,” Justin explains. The Noe's office on Main Street in Brooksville. Image by Diane Bedard. Several months ago, he shared his story at an Innovation Collective event. At that time, he and Lina were doing the 75 Hard Challenge, which is described as a transformative mental toughness program that includes 45 minutes of exercise twice daily – one outside – drinking lots of water, sticking to an eating plan of your choice, and reading at least ten pages of self-help materials daily for 75 days. As you might imagine, traveling and buying, selling, and renting houses gave Justin and Lina a lot of useful knowledge in the process of buying, selling, and investing in real estate. “I want to share what we’ve learned with our clients and help them understand the process to make it easier for them,” Justin shares. “For example, we didn’t buy in Southern California when we were stationed there because the market was pricey, and I was afraid that the return on investment wouldn’t be enough. That was a lost opportunity.” The Noe family on one of the brick-lined streets of Brooksville. Left to right, Lina, Gracie, Ella, Justin, Annabelle, and Callie. Image courtesy of Lina Noe. Investing in Real Estate and Family The Noes have an Airbnb in downtown Brooksville, near the May Stringer Museum. They have eighteen rentals throughout the country, and they use their knowledge to help people navigate the many options for growth in the real estate market. “Our business is in real estate, but it capitalizes on hard work. We teach our girls to manage their money in the same way we do,” Justin explains, “Give. Save. Spend. It has served all of us well.” Callie Noe, their oldest daughter, has begun helping with tracking business expenses. She is interested in the family business and accounting, so it is a great fit. This tight-knit family has traveled the world together, and they work hard to be the best they can. Recently, Justin helped a lady sell her home after she contacted him through Facebook. “They owned a sign-making business and we got to help her use her equipment to make some signs, bringing back some joy to her life. These are the things that make it all worthwhile,” Justin shares. “We work hard six days a week and rest on Sunday, attending church as a family.” Justin Noe Real Estate offers help with land, homes, commercial, and rental real estate.

Get in Touch with Justin Noe Real Estate for Help Navigating Each Step of the Process Justin and Lina have purchased a small commercial home next to the Brooksville Women’s Club on Main Street to house the businesses, investing in the area they love. “Florida’s Nature Coast Area is a dynamic market with so many great and different things to offer!
