January 6, 2014 - Central Hockey League (CHL) Three Things You Need to Know

1.) Walls Closing in at the Top- After two straight wins by the Allen Americans over the Rapid City Rush this past weekend, things have tightened up significantly at the top of the conference. The Rush (22-7-0) drop back-to-back games for the second time since Christmas and are just 2-4-0 in that span. They currently have a three point lead over the Missouri Mavericks (20-9-1) who have also lost two straight contests. The movers are the Americans (19-10-2) who have won five straight games and the Denver Cutthroats (16-9-6) who have won three straight games. Quad City (16-7-5) is in fifth place but only seven points behind the leaders and they have played the fewest games of any CHL team (28). The Flock are 9-3-1 at home and they begin a three-game home stand on Wednesday versus Brampton.

2.) Americans Keep Rolling- The Allen Americans (19-10-2) are the hottest team in the CHL with wins in five straight games including back-to-back triumphs this past weekend over the league's top team, the Rapid City Rush. The wins for Allen ended the Rush's CHL record 12-game road winning streak. After a 7-0-1 start to the season, the Americans struggled to the tune of a 5-8-1 mark between Nov. 3 and Dec. 13. However, since Mid-December the defending champs have been nearly unbeatable winning seven of their last nine games. Defenseman Tyler Ludwig has picked up his game with six goals over his last four contests and Kale Kerbashian has two goals and three assists over his last four games. In goal, Bryan Pitton has been hot winning six of his last seven starts while not allowing a team to score more than three goals over that stretch. Allen will look for their sixth straight win on Frida y night when they host Denver (16-9-6).

3.) Beast Trip Continues- The Brampton Beast (16-14-2) continue their six-game road trip on Tuesday with a rescheduled match-up with St. Charles (8-21-4). The game was originally scheduled for Sunday (1/5/14) but had to be rescheduled due to a snow storm in the St. Charles area. The Beast are 2-0 on their journey so far with back-to-back wins in Missouri. The trip will go through Quad City on Wednesday and then concludes with back-to-back games in Tulsa this weekend. Scott Howes had six goals and two assists in the two games in Missouri, good enough to earn him Oakley Player of the Week honors. Rob Collins has been a force as well with three goals and four assists in those contests.

By the Numbers

12: The number of times in 13 decisions that Quad City goalie Thomas Heemskerk has earned at least a point for his team. The netminder is 9-1-3 on the season with a 2.50 goals against average (second in the CHL) and a .919 save % (fourth in the CHL). Heemskerk has won four straight decisions allowing just six total goals over that span while recording two shutouts.

One-Timers

-Denver's Kent Patterson is 4-0-1 in his last five decisions facing 41+ shots in four of those five games. Over his hot streak, Patterson has stopped 194 of the 205 shots he has faced (.946 save %). He is 11-6-4 on the season with a .916 save %.

-After winning four straight games, the Wichita Thunder (11-17-4) have now dropped three straight games including back-to-back decisions over the weekend to Arizona. The Thunder do have the league's top two scoring defensemen with Jesse Dudas leading the way with 26 points (8-18&) and Andrew Martens sitting second with 24 points (5-19$).

-The Arizona Sundog (12-18-1) have gotten some pop lately with a couple new additions with Brandon Coccimiglio scoring seven goals in seven games and David Rutherford contributing six points (4-2=6) in three games. Coccimiglio was acquired from Tulsa and Rutherford was signed a free agent. Forward Kevin Baker has also been hot with goals in four straight games, three of those were wins for the Sundogs.

CHARLOTTE -- While thousands in the Charlotte area are bundling up for the brutally cold temperatures, heating technicians are outside working overtime.

The possible near record lows mean homeowners are tuning up their heaters, or even worse, getting replacements before the mercury plummets into single digits.

For technician Eric Timmons, when the temperature plummets, business heats up.

"Next couple of days it will be more demand calls, less maintenances and tuneups," said Timmons.

Timmons and other technicians at Brothers Heating Cooling and Plumbing Works were twice as busy as normal Monday as temperatures dipped well below freezing.

"We're expecting it to get a lot busier the next few days especially with the wind chill getting as low as it is," said Timmons.

Timmons' workload included the south Charlotte home of Janet Young who relied on an indoor heater while Timmons replaced a leaky part in her heater.

"I feel fortunate, especially since the temperatures are going to be so low," said Young.

Heating experts said the colder temperatures get, the more strain it puts on heaters and a home's energy, even more so with older models.

"Below 40, the heat pump, you'll start bringing on electrical auxiliary heat to help it out, and the heat pump is just going to run constantly," said Timmons.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DISH Network L.L.C., a subsidiary of DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH), today announced that it has developed a Virtual Joey software application that delivers the DISH Hopper HD-DVR experience on 2013 and 2014 LG Smart TVs. The app can be used instead of DISHs hardware-based Joey, increasing installation options where coaxial or Ethernet wiring may be difficult to access.

Television placement is so often dictated by where the set-top box can be and where the wires are this new application literally unleashes the TV, said Joseph P. Clayton, DISH president and CEO. Together, we are giving our customers more choice and control over their entire television experience.

Our collaboration with DISH is consistent with our philosophy of making Smart TV simple and more intuitive, said Sam Chang, vice president in charge of the LG Electronics Silicon Valley Lab, which developed LGs new webOS Smart TV platform.

This new Virtual Joey app provides a nearly identical experience to the Hopper Whole-Home HD DVRs currently available to DISH customers. When loaded on an LG Smart TV, the app offers access to and control of the Hopper Whole-Home HD DVR -- including live TV, recordings and navigation of the electronic program guide. The software-based clients operate on users wireless or wired home networks.

DISH expects to release the app in the first quarter of 2014.
