from Matthew Sekeres of the Globe and Mail,
Thirty years later as the general manager of the Vancouver Canucks, Gillis intends to make sure that no Canucks player feels as he did during the transition period from amateur to professional. No matter how unconventional the method — a goaltender as captain, individual nutrition programs, biorhythm bracelets to measure sleep patterns — the former player and player agent is consumed with putting players into the optimal position to succeed....
Because the Canucks travel extensively, Gillis commissioned a military sleep expert and had the players wear biorhythm bracelets to measure their waking and slumbering hours during an early-season trip. With the bracelet feedback, the team will know which players sleep after games, who sleeps on the plane, and how long they sleep. Ultimately, the data may be used to determine roommate pairings, practice times on the road, and the optimal times to fly into and out of cities.
