OTTAWA -- Chris Byrne stepped down as general manager of
the Ottawa 67s on Tuesday and was replaced by assistant
GM Pat Higgins. Byrnes resignation will take effect
immediately as he pursues new challenges at the NHL
level, the Ontario Hockey League team said in a release.
"Im happy for Chris," said team governor Jeff Hunt. "He
served us well as an assistant coach, head coach and most
recently as general manager and its great to know hes
moving up to the NHL level. We wish him well." Byrne
coached and managed in the 67s organization for eight
seasons. He served as both head coach and GM over the
last three seasons. "Im thankful to Jeff and the 67s
organization for a great experience in Ottawa and for
allowing me to pursue my dream of working in the NHL,"
said Byrne. "This opportunity came up very recently and
it really is something I couldnt turn down. "I know the
67s have a great core of young, talented players and I
wish them and the organization good luck in the future."
Details on his NHL plans were not immediately released.
Higgins, meanwhile, has spent over 20 seasons in the
organization as a scout, assistant GM and head of
scouting. Hell oversee all facets of hockey operations.
"Im humbled and excited by the opportunity the 67s have
given me," said Higgins. "We have a talented roster of
new players joining a more experienced core group of
veterans and I know great things are ahead for the fans.
Thanks to Jeff, Chris and (former coach) Brian Kilrea for
their roles in my development as a hockey operations
leader."

coach Randy Carlyle was coming back — with a two-year
extension — and assistants Greg Cronin, Scott Gordon and
Dave Farrish were being let go.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew
practiced in a limited capacity Friday, a positive sign
he might be able to play against the Tennessee
Titans.SOCHI, Russia – It was the third game of the
Olympics for the Canadians in Torino, Italy when the wall
of Martin Gerber emerged in shocking fashion. Gerber
stopped each and every one of the 49 shots peppered by
Team Canada en route to a highly improbable 2-0 victory
for Switzerland. In a two-week tournament like the
Olympics, goaltending performances of that caliber have
the potential to shock, rattle and awe even the most
powerful foes, hindering medal hopes with save after
unlikely save. Eight years after Gerber shook up what was
an ultimately doomed 2006 Canadian bid – they finished
seventh – lies another Swiss goaltender in Jonas Hiller
capable of doing the same, if not more, at the Sochi
Olympics. "Every year at a tournament like this you need
a good goalkeeper to have success," said Andreas Ambuhl,
a winger for Switzerland and teammate of Hiller for years
with Davos in the Swiss League, "especially a team like
us." Switzerland is still buzzing from a silver medal
finish at the 2013 World Championships – the now 39-
year-old Gerber teaming with Calgary netminder Reto Berra
– and though they have no grand illusions about their
chances at these Olympics, possession of a goaltender
like Hiller poses at least the possibility of a little
unlikely noise. Hiller is back to top form in Anaheim
after a couple bumpy seasons punctuated by injuries. The
31-year-old stopped 36 of 38 shots in his final game
before the Olympics and owns a .943 save percentage in
his last five starts. "Theres no doubt," said Swiss head
coach Sean Simpson, a Canadian and former Chicago
Blackhawks draft pick who has yet to actually coach
Hiller during his four-year run ass bench boss of
Switzerlands national program.dddddddddddd "Any of the
goalies, they stand on their head they can make a
difference in a one-game scenario thats for sure."
Simpson would consider a trip to the quarterfinals as
success for his squad, which sits in a group with Sweden,
Latvia and the Czech Republic. In the past 50 years the
Swiss have never finished higher than sixth which they
managed during that unlikely 06 run with Gerber at the
forefront. Sizzling efforts in goal have the potential to
alter the face of the Olympics, both for powerhouses like
Canada, who must decide between Carey Price and Roberto
Luongo, and lesser limelight squads like the Swiss. Its
why Finland still holds dark-horse medal potential
despite losing potential captain Mikko Koivu and second
centre Valteri Filpulla to injury. With Tuukka Rask,
Antii Niemi and Kari Lehtonen as sterling options between
the pipes, the Finns have the goods in goal to rattle
more than a few cages. It was during those same 06
Olympics in Torino that then-Flyers goaltender and
Finnish product Antero Niittymaki carried his country to
a silver medal – they fell to Sweden, who was led by
Henrik Lundqvist – leading the tournament with a mighty
.951 save percentage. One need only remember the heroic
efforts of Dominik Hasek in 1998. Hasek allowed just six
goals in Nagano – posting a crazy .971 save percentage
– willing the Czech Republic to their first and only
gold medal. "Theres going to be lots of strong goalies
here," said Simpson. "Jonas, hes got a great personality
and hes going to give the team a lot of confidence when
hes in net there for sure."
