CALGARY -- Pierre Lavertu has an experienced, successful guide on the Calgary Stampeders offensive line. Brett Jones was fresh out of university at Calgarys training camp a year ago. The centre from Weyburn, Sask., went on to become the first offensive lineman to be named the Canadian Football Leagues most outstanding rookie. The Stampeders hope Lavertu is also a quick study. Calgary swung a draft-day deal with Ottawa to make the Laval athlete the first overall pick May 13. The 24-year-old from Quebec City played centre for the Rouge et Or, but with Jones so successful at that position in 2013, Lavertu has worked most of the pre-season at guard. Jones may be two years younger than Lavertu, but hes helping usher the older rookie into professional football. "Hes given me advice and helped me during meetings. He sits behind me," Lavertu said Tuesday at McMahon Stadium. "Brett is an inspiration for me because he did everything well. He has great technique, good footwork, he knows everything thats happening on the field." Jon Gott, who was dealt to the expansion Redblacks for the first pick in the draft, and the retired Dimitri Tsoumpas mentored Jones in his first year in the league, so Jones wants to pay it forward. "They just made sure I was welcomed into the group," Jones said. "Were known as a unit. I just want whats best for the offensive line." Lavertu, who is six foot three and 298 pounds, won three Vanier Cups and was a three-time CIS all-star with Laval. He was surprised Calgary drafted him because of Jones, but Lavertu is also excited at the prospect of blocking for star running back Jon Cornish. "If they want me to play guard, Im going to play guard," Lavertu said. "Its the opportunity theyve given to me. Im going to take it and do the best I can to be successful at right guard. "We have Jon Cornish and a lot of good running backs. I love to run-block for him. When you run the ball like that and control the clock like that, you are going to win." Lavertu played right guard in the first half and returned to centre for the second when Jones came out of Saturdays pre-season win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Calgary rushed for 193 yards in a 23-20 victory. The Stampeders are in Vancouver to face the Lions in another pre-season game Friday. Calgary hosts Montreal in their regular-season opener June 28. As Jones did, Lavertu must adapt to the quicker pace of the pro game as well the calibre of the oppositions defensive line. "Theres a lot more things hes responsible for and the talent hes going against every play is equal (to him) or better," Calgary offensive line coach Pat DelMonaco said. "You have to factor in some of them have five, six or seven years of experience." The six-foot-two, 321-pound Jones says Lavertu makes the same errors he did in his early days as a Stampeder. "I made a ton of mistakes," Jones said. "Youre going to make mistakes and its just not making the same mistake twice. "Hes doing great. This offence isnt that easy. You can just see hes making those changes and just making those improvements to get better. Whenever he gets a chance to play, Im excited to play beside him and hope the best for him."

Grabner scored on a breakaway 3:53 into overtime as the Islanders defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Tuesday.WENGEN, Switzerland - Naoki Yuasa showed his best race form of the Alpine ski season on Saturday, one month before his event at the world championships.The slalom specialist from Japan had the third-fastest time in the second leg of a World Cup race, just 0.02 seconds slower than the run that propelled Felix Neureuther of Germany to victory 40 minutes later.Still, Yuasa believes he can improve during an intense month in slalom before the Feb. 2-15 worlds at Vail-Beaver Creek, Colorado.It is a very, very tough race for me, Yuasa told The Associated Press after his quick second trip down the storied slope at Wengen. But Im trying my best.Yuasas best was good enough for a 23rd-place finish. A 30th-fastest run in the morning only just qualified him for the afternoon action, though gave him first use of a course made difficult by steady falls of soft, wet snow.Now, this moment, my condition is not so perfect, the 31-year-old Yuasa said.To prepare for his medal event scheduled on Feb. 15, he has two more World Cups, both at classic Austrian venues which draw big, noisy crowds.Kitzbuehel next Sundaay is followed by Yuasas favourite, under floodlights at Schladming, where he has three previous top-10 finishes.dddddddddddd.That is my best race. I like the night race with many people there, said Yuasa, who was chasing World Cup points as a priority over medals.My first target is to go back to the top 15, he said.Scoring eight race points on Saturday lifted Yuasa to 27th in the standings, now above two-time World Cup slalom champion Ivica Kostelic of Croatia.His best result this season was 14th at Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, where he earned a career-best third place two seasons ago.Yuasa acknowledged a longer-term career incentive was the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.Because the Olympics are in Pyeongchang, the World Cup will return to Japan after a 10-year gap when the circuit swings through Asia for test events on Olympic slopes.A slalom is scheduled on Feb. 14, 2016 at Naeba, which last hosted World Cup races in 1975.Yuasa was in the lineup when Japan last staged a World Cup slalom in March 2006. He placed 18th and teammate Akira Sasaki was sixth at Shigakogen. wholesale jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
