Handling the Heat: Tyson Teichmann
From time to time, we plan to highlight stories written by students in our Sports Journalism program.
Here’s one of them … a profile written by Kristen Shilton.
Handling the Heat: Tyson Teichmann
By Kristen Shilton
Sports Journalism Program
BELLEVILLE – Ken Dryden, the incomparable former Montreal Canadiens’ goaltender, once said that for players between the pipes, the biggest enemy they face each game is themselves. Tyson Teichmann, the 17-year-old goalie for the Ontario Hockey League’s Belleville Bulls, agrees that on-the-job pressure is sometimes enough to make him mental.
“Oh yeah, it can be frustrating in net,” he says. “When you work to be the best, you can get hard on yourself. I’m almost too hard on myself I’ve been told. I’m losing hair already.”
Entering his second season with the Bulls, Teichmann has earned the starter’s job, in part because of a strong performance for Team Canada’s Under-18 squad at a tournament in Europe this past summer. Teichmann started six games, finishing 4 - 2. His shutout in the gold medal game lifted Canada past the U.S.A. 1 - 0. In recently released rankings of draft eligible players, the NHL Central Scouting Bureau has the netminder ranked seventh among OHL goalies.

Wham Bam Thank You Jim Lang
Jim Lang of Sportsnet with Loyalist Sports J's
Mind your manners around microphones and thoroughly research every story.
Those were two of the key messages Sportsnet anchor Jim Lang had for students when he visited Loyalist College in March.
Lang, 44, is a Sportsnet anchor and senior NHL reporter in Toronto. Prior to joining Sportsnet, he was the sports director at Q107 radio.
Lang showed students some of the TV stories he did while covering Super Bowl XLIV in Miami. His associate producer for the week was Loyalist BJ grad Scott Moore. Lang explained the process that goes into hunting down the best archive footage; how stories are fed back to Toronto from out-of-town locations; and how to hustle after a game to get good quotes.
The veteran sportscaster also reminded students to be very careful around open mics. An off-the-cuff remark can land a journalist in a heap of hot water if uttered near a live microphone. He also reinforced the importance of background research and becoming as familiar as possible with every story -- before venturing out to any event.
