Dave Tippett is known for getting the most out of his players in the NHL, and hell be counted on to do the same as Team Canadas coach at the upcoming world championship. Tippett, whose Phoenix Coyotes narrowly missed the playoffs, was named to that post Wednesday and will be joined by assistants Peter DeBoer of the New Jersey Devils and Paul Maurice of the Winnipeg Jets. Itll be up to that staff to try to make the most of a roster that wont be as star-studded as the group that won gold at the Sochi Olympics. "Thats the exciting thing for me is to try to get players in, get them in roles and get them in situations where they can succeed at," Tippett said in a phone interview. "Thats always been our philosophy in Phoenix is we might not be a cap team, but we got players that can do jobs in certain areas and really excel at it. "Once the team gets settled in here well try to figure out where everybody kind of fits, but thats one of the challenges, whether youve got young players or veteran players or superstar players, is getting your group together and getting them all in situations where they can play well." This Canadian team will include David Perron of the Edmonton Oilers, Sean Monahan of the Calgary Flames, Morgan Rielly and James Reimer of the Toronto Maple Leafs, forwards Jonathan Huberdeau of the Florida Panthers, Cody Hodgson of the Buffalo Sabres, and Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets, along with defenceman Jason Garrison of the Vancouver Canucks among already confirmed theyll go to Minsk, Belarus, for next months tournament. Five more players have accepted invitations to play for Team Canada at the World Championship, including forwards Jonathan Huberdeau of the Florida Panthers, Cody Hodgson of the Buffalo Sabres, Nazem Kadri of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets, along with defenceman Jason Garrison of the Vancouver Canucks. There isnt Olympic experience there, but Jason Chimera of the Washington Capitals was there in 2007 when Canada last won gold at the world championship, and Reimer went 4-0 at the 2011 tournament. Tippett, from Moosomin, Sask., was an assistant coach in 2009 and 2013, and DeBoer, from Waterloo, Ont., was on staff in 2010 and 2011. Maurice, from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., has experience with the bigger, international-sized ice surface from coaching in the KHL. Theres a certain style of play that has come to be expected from Tippett-coached teams. The ice means there are some adjustments, but dont anticipate that changing too much. "Theres some things that you have to be aware of: spacing and sometimes running around where youve got to be a little more position," Tippett said. "I think the Canadian teams that have done well over there have gone over and played a real simple, hard, Canadian style of hockey. Those are principles that we want to put into place." One challenge for Tippett is to do that with just a couple of days of practice in Zurich. "Youve got to get everybody on the same page as quick as you can," he said. "I know every Canadian team that goes over there, its about continuing to try to improve as the tournament moves on." Tippett wants to get a team mind-set in place right away. Dont be surprised if it mirrors what Team Canada did in February. "Were very fortunate," Tippett said. "We have a very good template just from a few months ago of the Olympic teams." The IIHF world hockey championship runs from May 9-25 in Minsk. Canada opens the event on May 9 against France (TSN, 9:30am et/6:30am pt). William Perry Youth Jersey .

Dan Hampton Jersey . -- The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena to a $25 million, five-year contract Saturday.BERLIN - Schalke defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the 167th Ruhr derby and Bayern Munich tightened its grip on top place in the Bundesliga with a 2-0 win at Cologne on Saturday.Dortmunds defence was to blame for both of Schalkes goals, despite the return from injury of Germany international Mats Hummels.Schalke defender Joel Matip was left in plenty of space to score with an easy header in the 10th minute, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting made it 2-0 in the 23rd after more lax defending.Roman Weidenfeller saved from Klaas Jan Huntelaar but Adrian Ramos failed to clear the rebound and Choupo-Moting fired the loose ball home after Huntelaars second effort was blocked.Whoever concedes such goals will rarely win games in football, Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. It dramatically influenced the game. Schalke won 2-1 because we actively helped them score two goals.Ramos atoned by setting up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Dortmunds only goal three minutes later.Klopp sent on Shinji Kagawa with just over half an hour to play, but couldnt prevent the visitors from slipping seven points behind Bayern after just six games.We gave it everything in the second half but were missing that effectiveness and luck, said Klopp, whose side has gone three games without a win. It was a crap evening, no ifs or buts.Schalke coach Jens Keller clearly enjoyed the 145th competitive meeting between the bitter rivals.The lads threw themselves at every ball and fought to the last second. It was class. So the whole of Schalke should be very happy now, Keller said.Former Dortmund midfielder Mario Goetze got Bayern off the mark in the 19th, and forced an own goal from Daniel Halfar in the 67th to stretch its unbeaten run to 10 games.Elsewhere, Stuttgart defeated Hannover 1-0 for its first win of the season, Bayer Leverkusen drew at Freiburg 0-0, and Borussia Moenchengladbach won at Paderborn 2-1.Veteran Croatian striker Ivica Olics third goal of the season gave Wolfsburg a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen in the late game, leaving the visitors near the bottom. Olic headed the winner from compatriot Ivan Perisics cross in the 57th.Bayern winger Arjen Robben should have had a pennalty when he fell under Halfars clumsy challenge in the fourth, and Thomas Mueller hit the side-netting, before the unmarked Goetze scored with an easy finish.ddddddddddddDespite the visitors clear dominance a€” Bayern had over 70 per cent possession in the first half a€” the home side managed to hold out until Goetze forced the own goal with David Alaba waiting to pounce behind Halfar.There are so many teams who have tried to play well against Bayern and then had the same result as us, Cologne coach Peter Stoeger said.Robben was less complimentary about the home sides efforts.They did nothing, they sat back, stayed deep, and never came forward, he said. We deservedly won.Midfielder Xabi Alonso was outstanding again for Bayern, setting a Bundesliga record with his 206 touches of the ball a€” beating the previous record held by compatriot Thiago Alcantara by 21 touches.Daniel Schwaabs first Bundesliga goal in his 134th game was enough for Stuttgart, which sacked sporting director Fredi Bobic during the week.The Stuttgart defender forced the ball just over the line in the 69th, to relieve some of the pressure on coach Armin Veh, who dropped goalkeeper Sven Ulreich in favour of Thorsten Kirschbaum.In Paderborn, Patrick Herrmann scored on his first start of the season for Moenchengladbach in the eighth, and Raffael made it 2-0 six minutes later.Later in the half, Moenchengladbach midfielder Christoph Kramer was booked for apparently bringing down Stefan Kutschke, only for the card to be rescinded when the Paderborn forward told the referee he hadnt been fouled.It was very sporting. To be honest, I probably wouldnt have done it if it were the other way around. So respect, Kramer said.Leverkusen had to deal with an early sending off for the second time in three games when Emir Spahic earned two yellow cards by the 28th.The home sides numerical advantage against Freiburg lasted until the 78th, when Pavel Krmas earned his second booking for a foul on Lars Bender.Karim Bellarabi and Son Heung-min hit the crossbar in the second half for Leverkusen.You cant play much better with a player less, Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt said.
