The vision is close to becoming a reality. Nike Free Grise Et Rose . As Hamilton Bulldogs owner Michael Andlauer sat through the NHLs Heritage Classic outdoor game at McMahon Stadium last February, all he could think about what hosting a similar event in his own backyard. "I believe that the game out in Calgary really touched home with him," Ed Chamberlain, the Bulldogs vice-president of sales and marketing, said in a recent interview. "Our owner approached me and said he was at the Heritage Classic last year and that he really wants to put an outdoor game in Hamilton. "He said `I think it would be unbelievable. ... And here we are." The Bulldogs are scheduled to face the rival Toronto Marlies at Ivor Wynne Stadium -- home to the CFLs Hamilton Tiger-Cats -- on Saturday afternoon. The temporary ice surface was built by Ice Rink Events and saw its first action Monday, with staff from the two American Hockey League teams and members of the media given a chance to test it out. The Marlies and Bulldogs are also planning to practise at Ivor Wynne this week and an alumni game is scheduled for Friday night. "Were going to try and use it as much as we can," said Chamberlain. "The more people skate on it the better the ice gets. It gets stronger." The game marks the second time the AHL has taken its product outdoors in a matter of weeks -- and the fourth time overall. Adirondack and Hershey played before a sellout crowd at Philadelphias Citizens Bank Park on Jan. 6., four days after the NHLs Winter Classic. Like the NCAA and NHL, the AHL is an enthusiastic supporter of such events. "Our experiences have been outstanding with outdoor games," said AHL president Dave Andrews. "The players, coaches, officials and fans see the events as unique celebrations of the sport. "While the NHL Winter Classics and our AHL outdoor events have been televised, very few fans in most locations have ever had the chance to experience them." Chamberlain estimates that as many as 22,000 fans can be fit it into Ivor Wynne, which is below CFL capacity because one end of the stadium has been eliminated due to poor sightlines. As of Monday, tickets were still available. Even after the Marlies and Bulldogs face one another, the rink will remain in place for a week. It should be busy, too. "Were going to have community skates, were going to have youth hockey teams playing," said Chamberlain. "We have a lot of different activities going on over a two-week span. "Well have people on the ice from eight in the morning until 11 oclock in the evening." Even though numerous outdoor hockey games have been held over the last decade -- starting with the Michigan-Michigan State "Cold War" matchup in 2001 -- the concept still seems to have plenty of life left in it. "Our game last week in Philly was spectacular with 45,000 fans attending," said Andrews. "It was a great event which received rave reviews from players and fans. I expect that the experience at Ivor Wynne will also be very special for all involved. "I am really looking forward to it." Hes far from the only one. Andlauer wanted to ensure as many people as possible could experience the outdoor setting -- whether its attending the Bulldogs-Marlies game or having a chance to skate on the rink themselves. "This is the first event in the last season of Ivor Wynne Stadium," said Chamberlain. "Theyre building a brand new football field and we thought it would be cool to kind of launch it off with this. The second part of it is we want to do something special for the city of Hamilton. "Our owner really loves the whole area here and he said `Lets do something different, lets do something that people will remember. " Nike Free 3.0 Review 2016 Running . Glen Perkins pitched another tenuous ninth inning but got his 19th save in 22 tries after giving up two runs to blow one the night before. Adam Eaton led off with a triple and scored on Gordon Beckhams sacrifice fly. Pinch-hitter Paul Konerko then smacked a single up the middle, but Perkins struck out Jose Abreu and Adam Dunn to end it and punctuated the final swing and miss with a big pump of his left arm. Nike Free Flyknit Blanche . A person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press on Saturday that Cruz will earn about $8.5 million, and can make more in performance bonuses. http://www.freeflyknit-fr.com/nike-roshe-run-solde/nike-roshe-run-print.html . Cammalleri suffered a concussion in the Flames 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. The 31-year-old forward did not travel with the team to Carolina.NEW YORK -- Jose Fernandez arrived early. Wil Myers made it big after a blockbuster trade. Neither one needed much time to create a splash, and together they brought both Rookie of the Year awards back to Florida. Fernandez stood out in a very deep National League class this season, and the precocious Miami Marlins pitcher received 26 of 30 first-place votes from a Baseball Writers Association of America panel in results announced Monday. Myers won the American League prize after the Tampa Bay slugger put up impressive offensive numbers in barely half a season. The right fielder was chosen first on 23 of 30 ballots, beating out Detroit shortstop Jose Iglesias and Rays teammate Chris Archer. "Honestly, when I was called up that didnt even cross my mind. As the season went on I could see I would have a chance," Myers said on a conference call from his North Carolina home. "To be able to win is just a huge honour and Im very excited about it." The two announcements marked the beginning of awards week in baseball. NL and AL Manager of the Year will be revealed Tuesday, with the Cy Young winners Wednesday and MVPs on Thursday. Myers became the third Tampa Bay player in six years to be selected Rookie of the Year, joining Jeremy Hellickson (2011) and Evan Longoria (200. Seated next to each other, Myers and Archer smiled and shook hands when the winner was revealed on MLB Network. Fernandez easily topped runner-up Yasiel Puig of the Los Angeles Dodgers as Cuban players ran 1-2 in the NL race. The only previous Rookie of the Year winners from Cuba came in the AL: Jose Canseco in 1986 and Tony Oliva in 1964. "It means a lot just to be compared to those guys," Fernandez said. "Im not sure I was even born when those guys were playing. But for sure I heard the names before. ... All the kids in Cuba play baseball." Puig received the other four first-place votes and amassed 95 points to 142 for Fernandez, who made the All-Star team at age 20. He went 12-6 with a 2.19 ERA and 187 strikeouts for a last-place club that finished 62-100. Fernandez was shut down in September after 172 2-3 innings to protect his precious arm. Still, his debut season was so superb that hes one of three finalists for the NL Cy Young Award -- though Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is a heavy favourite. Fernandez already has one big prize, however, and he hugged his mother and grandmother when he won. He came to the United States by boat as a Cuban refugee in 2008, apparently rescuing his mom along the way. Drafted 14th overall in 2011 out of high school in Tampa, Fla., he had never pitched above Class A before this season. Fernandez was ticketed for Double-A Jacksonvillee at the end of spring training when injuries left two holes in Miamis rotation. Nike Roshe Run Flyknit Blanche. Fernandez became an unexpected addition to the roster, making him the youngest pitcher on a major league team on opening day. "I wasnt planning on being in the big leagues," he said. The surprises havent stopped -- on and off the mound. One day before winning the rookie award, a shocked Fernandez was reunited with his grandmother in Florida with help from his lawyer. "Out of nowhere," the pitcher said. "I have no idea how it happened." Now, she can visit for a few years and see him play in the majors. "Pretty excited about that," Fernandez said. After the Marlins dumped nearly all their high-priced stars last winter, Fernandez was a rare bright spot this season. The right-hander became the fourth Marlins player in 11 years to win Rookie of the Year, following Chris Coghlan (2009), Hanley Ramirez (2006) and Dontrelle Willis (2003). "Im very happy that he won," Puig told MLB.com in comments circulated by the Dodgers. "He worked really hard to achieve this and he pitched extremely well with Miami and he deserved this just as we deserved to be nominated. I am happy for him, that a Cuban won. Im happy his grandmother arrived and I hope he enjoys his time with his grandmother and enjoys the prize he won." The 22-year-old Myers batted .293 with 13 home runs and 53 RBIs in only 88 games after he was called up from the minors June 18. He immediately added much-needed power to the middle of the Rays lineup, helping them reach the playoffs as an AL wild card. Myers was rated one of baseballs best hitting prospects when he was traded from Kansas City to Tampa Bay last December in a seven-player deal that sent pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis to the Royals. "There were some mixed feelings in leaving Kansas City," Myers acknowledged. "I dont want to say they gave up on me. They made a move they thought would better their team and it did." Worked out well for Tampa Bay, too. The Rays were 36-33 before Myers arrived this season and went 56-38 the rest of the way. They won a tiebreaker at Texas for the final AL playoff berth and beat Cleveland in the wild-card game before getting eliminated by World Series champion Boston in the division series. Myers finished with 131 points in the balloting to 80 for the slick-fielding Iglesias, traded from the Red Sox to the Tigers just before the deadline in late July. Both teams ended up in the AL championship series. Iglesias was listed first on five ballots. Archer and fellow pitcher Dan Straily of the Oakland Athletics each got one first-place vote.
