"We would spend so much time together, and so then it just became a thing where we’d just look out for each other, right? It was rule number one, like an actual rule in the ‘chum’ group, was ‘never leave a chum behind.' We would have to make sure we all left the rink at the same time, get on the bus at the same time. If one of them wasn't on the bus, you'd get off right away and you'd run and figure out where they were to make sure they were there. We'd always have to hold the door for each other, you know? You'd open the door, you'd walk through, you'd say 'thank you,' then you'd stand there and hold it while someone else is-- sometimes four people were holding the door for you as you were walking through. We had a list of like fifty different rules you had to follow, and then you had to remember them. And if you ever screwed up a rule, then you, you were a bad chum that day."

In honor of Carly1K, Karl Alzner recounts the origin of The Chums.

#Fellas is it gay to have fifty rules about how you can touch and interact with your fellow chums?#THE CHUMS #Holtby's 'little cliquey at times' quip is killing me #As is Alzner still obviously taking the whole chums thing VERY SERIOUSLY #Karl Alzner #Jay Beagle #John Carlson #Eric Fehr #Braden Holtby #Mathieu Perreault #Washington Capitals #Hershey Bears #Carly1K

Jalon des 1 000 matchs dans la LNH

Oshie, 37 ans, est devenu le 390e patineur de l'histoire de la LNH à franchir le cap des 1 000 matchs le 16 mars contre les Canucks de Vancouver. Les collisions d’Oshie sur la glace avec son maillot Washington Capitals sur le dos ont fait de lui un joueur marquant pour l’équipe cette saison. Mais ce style de jeu a également eu des conséquences néfastes. Oshie a disputé plus de 75 matchs à seulement quatre reprises au cours de sa carrière. Blessures au haut du corps, blessures au bas du corps, opérations chirurgicales, série de commotions cérébrales – Oshie a tout vécu.

Karl Alzner, ancien coéquipier d'Oshie avec les Capitals, a déclaré : « Cela restera l'un des matchs les plus difficiles de l'histoire de la LNH. » Certains joueurs poursuivent des objectifs ou marquent des points de repère. Depuis son entrée dans la ligue, Oshie a utilisé le plateau des 1 000 matchs comme mesure de sa carrière. "Je ne me suis pas vraiment fixé d'autres jalons dans ma carrière", a déclaré Oshie en maillots hockey. "J'admire ceux qui ont atteint le cap des mille allumettes avant moi, en voyant leur cérémonie et le bâton d'argent qu'ils reçoivent. C'est une chose très cool, mais c'est difficile à faire. " Dimanche, dans la capitale, Oshie a été honoré pour ses réalisations. avant le match à domicile de l'équipe contre les Jets de Winnipeg. Lorsqu'Oshie propose des encouragements avant un match, il fait de son mieux. Dans le cadre de la cérémonie, il a livré le premier set puis ses coéquipiers ont répondu.

Der Maßstab für Spieler, um Spielziele zu verfolgen

Der 37-jährige Oshie war der 390. Skater in der NHL-Geschichte, der am 16. März gegen die Vancouver Canucks den Meilenstein von 1.000 Spielen erreichte. Oshies Kollisionen auf dem Eis mit seiner nhl trikots auf dem Rücken machten ihn in dieser Saison zu einem einflussreichen Spieler für das Team. Aber auch dieser Spielstil forderte seinen Tribut. Oshie hat in seiner Karriere nur viermal an mehr als 75 Spielen teilgenommen. Oberkörperverletzungen, Unterkörperverletzungen, Operationen, eine Reihe von Gehirnerschütterungen –Oshie hat alles durchgemacht.

Karl Alzner, Oshies ehemaliger Teamkollege bei den Capitals, sagte: „Dies wird als eines der härtesten Spiele in der Geschichte der NHL eingehen.“ Manche Spieler verfolgen Ziele oder erzielen Benchmarks. Seit seinem Eintritt in die Liga hat Oshie das 1.000-Spiele-Plateau als Maßstab für seine Karriere verwendet. „Ich habe mir in meiner Karriere eigentlich keine weiteren Meilensteine gesetzt“, sagte Oshie im NHL trikot Washington Capitals. „Ich schaue zu denen auf, die vor mir die Tausend-Match-Marke erreicht haben, und sehe ihre Zeremonie und den silbernen Staffelstab, den sie erhalten. Das ist eine sehr coole Sache, aber es ist schwer zu tun.“ Am Sonntag wurde Oshie in der Hauptstadt für seine Leistungen geehrt vor dem Heimspiel des Teams gegen die Winnipeg Jets. Wenn Oshie vor einem Spiel Mut macht, gibt er sein Bestes. Im Rahmen der Zeremonie lieferte er den ersten Satz und dann antworteten seine Teamkollegen.

I think me and Mandy both knew this would be an option for us full time. We knew that schools were good and there would be lots of opportunity to work as well. Now, the fact we find out that Mike Green is back, Braden Holtby’s back... these are guys that I’ve played quite a few years with and have good friendships with, it just made that much more sense to be back here, so. (laughs) I don’t know whether or not our schedules can still align and we can do a bunch of stuff together is something that we have to figure out.

But at least we’re all back in the area and I think that’s a really great sign. This is another reason why these alumni events will be great for the current players to see is that there’s people coming back to live full time, so there must be something about this city. And I think that’s one thing that a lot of players have noticed. There must be something!

Karl Alzner talks about what drew him back to the Washington DC area after retirement. (It was bros.)
