The slogan of the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games is Are You Ready?Benoit Huot is prepared to answer that question by making host city Toronto his second home. Roberto Alomar Blue Jays Jersey .One of the decorated Paralympians in Canadian history, Huot trains at the new Aquatics Centre nearly every day and often has two pool sessions in a day.The Montreal swimmer owns 19 medals, including nine gold, from four Paralympic Summer Games. Retired wheelchair racer Chantal Petitclerc is the only Canadian who has won more with 21. Huot shares an apartment with other swimmers near the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House in the suburb of Scarborough. He takes the train home on weekends to Montreal, where the 30-year-old owns a house with fiancee Annie Couture.You want to think you did everything you could to be ready when its really game-day, Huot told The Canadian Press. Thats what Im trying to do.Huot pondered retirement after collecting a medal of every colour and setting a world record in the 200-metre individual medley at the 2012 Paralympic Games in London.But the draw of racing in a Parapan Am Games in his home country in 2015 was a pull towards the Rio de Janiero Paralympics in 2016.Competing in the 2013 International Paralympic Committee world swimming championships in his hometown of Montreal was another incentive to stay in the pool after London.Training in Toronto fills a number of needs for Huot, not the least of which is gaining an advantage for the Parapan Ams from Aug. 7-15.Itll feel even more like home when the Pan Ams come around, Huot said. It does make a difference knowing where things are.That excitement when you get to the facility for the first time and sometimes feeling that extra stress you dont need, I wont get that. I know where the ready room will be, I know where the doping will be.Its the same thing in the water, he continued. The way I do my turns when I swim backstroke, I look at the ceiling of the pool and all my references are there. I know how to feel good in that pool from lane one to lane 10. Whatever lane Im going to be in . . . Ill feel confident. Those small things for us as swimmers make a big difference.The opening of Pan Am swim venue in October also solved a problem in Huots training environment in Montreal. The ongoing renovations on his home pool at the Olympic Park Sports Centre will continue well into 2015.Huot felt he could no longer afford the disruption in his training with Rio coming over the horizon.I said I cant wait for this. I need to take responsibility in making sure Im ready for 2015 and obviously 2016 and the best place right now in the country would be Toronto, he explained.To be ready for 2016, I cant start in September 2015. What Im doing now is going to pay off in 2016 as well.Huot was born with a club foot and competes in the S10 classification for athletes with minor physical impairments.Hes training in Toronto with a group of able-bodied athletes including Torontos Martha McCabe, a world championship medallist in breaststroke. Theyre coached by Ben Titley, who is Swimming Canadas national-team coach.But Huot maintains his relationship with Montreal coach Pierre Lamy because Lamy will be coach Huot when he races the 200 I.M. and 100-metre backstroke in Toronto this summer.Huot hasnt raced the 400-metre freestyle since winning Paralympic silver in 2012, but he may add it to his Parapan Am set list.He collected seven medals, including three gold, at the 2007 Parapan Ams in Rio. Huot didnt compete in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 2011 because those Games held in November of that year conflicted with his training for the 2012 Paralympics.Paralympic, Parapan Am and Commonwealth Games medals were among the eight stolen from Huots house last year while he was away training in Richmond, B.C.He says hes unlikely to ever recover them as Longueuil police have closed the investigation. Huot is more hopeful about obtaining replacement medals.Were talking to the International Paralympic Committee and Commonwealth Games Federation to try to replace the medals, Huot said. So far things are looking good. We havent got confirmation yet.For a man who has trained his entire career in Montreal, relocating to Toronto was an adjustment. Via Rail helps out with rail passes to go home for short stints, but his relationship with his fiancee is now mostly long-distance.Its not easy being away, especially for her, Huot said. For me, Im living my dream. Im having a great time in the water. I know Im towards the end of my career. Ive had a great adventure so far.I want to take this opportunity for the next 18, 19 months and feel like its the last time I am doing this.Huot is mindful of his legacy in sport at this point in his career. He completed a degree in communications at University of Quebec-Montreal last year and worked with CBC on their coverage of the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.He says the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver and Whistler, B.C., and the 2013 IPC world swim championship in Montreal raised the profile of Paralympic sport, but the impact was limited to those regions of the country.He sees the Greater Toronto Area as another frontier for Paralympic sport. The Pan Am Games will hopefully have good coverage and will be able to give Canadians a better idea of what we are doing, which is kind of a goal, or a mandate that I have at the end of my career, Huot explained.Yes, Im still an athlete, but theres not a better way to do these things than being the athlete doing it. Alen Hanson Blue Jays Jersey . He just didnt expect them to be this good. Darrun Hilliard scored 19 points to lead No. 6 Villanova to a dominating 77-59 victory over Georgetown on Saturday, preserving the Wildcats hopes of a No. Dave Winfield Blue Jays Jersey . 3 seed Phillip Kohlschreiber from Germany. Defending champion Marin Cilic also reached the semifinals -- his fourth in Zagreb -- defeating fellow Croat Ivan Dodig. German qualifier Bjorn Phau beat Dudi Sela of Israel to reach his first semifinals in nearly five years. http://www.bluejaysonline.com/blue-jays-clay-buchholz-jersey/ . Huntelaar also had a penalty saved by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Diego Benaglio. The two goals brought Huntelaars total for the season to 18, level with Bayern Munichs Mario Gomez for most in the league.The Los Angeles Kings hope to avoid a third straight setback to begin the season on Sunday night as they kick off a six-game homestand against the Winnipeg Jets. The defending Stanley Cup champions have had a tough go early on. The Kings were shut out at home by San Jose 4-0 on Wednesday and then suffered a 3-2 overtime setback to Arizona on Saturday night. Tyler Toffoli, who had an assist, took a hooking penalty with 1:19 to play in overtime and Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson was able to cash in as his drive from the right wing beat a screened Jonathan Quick with 14 seconds on the clock. Tanner Pearson and Jeff Carter lit the lamp for the Kings, while Quick took the loss despite turning away 37 pucks. They took advantage of their opportunities in the first period and the second period they played strong, said Los Angeles head coach Darryl Sutter. The third period I thought there was a lot more back and forth. Los Angeles, which played without forward Trevor Lewis and defenseman Jake Muzzin due to upper-body injuries, are again off to a slow start following a championship. The Kings began defense of their title in 2012-13 with an 0-2-1 mark. L.A. will try to avoid matching that sttart as it hosts a Winnipeg team that has split the first two of a three-game road trip to open the campaign. George Bell Jersey. Viewers in the Jets region can watch the game on TSN3 starting at 8:30pm mt/6:30pm pt. The Jets rolled past the Coyotes 6-2 on Thursday, but like the Kings they failed to get any offense going against the Sharks, losing 3-0 on Saturday night in San Jose. The Sharks Alex Stalock made 30 saves, while Jets netminder Ondrej Pavelec gave up all three goals on 26 shots faced. Winnipeg was short handed eight times in the game, though it did not allow San Jose to score on the power play, and saw defenseman Dustin Byfuglien get a game misconduct at 10:24 of the third as he slammed his stick on the way to the penalty box after a call. There was some frustration that got built over the first 30 minutes, but we cant spend so much time in the penalty box, Jets head coach Paul Maurice said. Winnipeg will conclude its road trip without forward Evander Kane, who suffered a knee injury in the season opener, and begins a five-game homestand on Friday. The Kings won two of three versus the Jets last season, including a 4-2 decision in the lone encounter in Los Angeles. ' ' '
