The Uxbridge (Mass.) field hockey team, by winning five straight Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association state tournaments, has shown the fruits of hard work, preparation and a decade-old feeder system started by Spartan alumna Kelly Rosborough, the team’s current head coach. The Uxbridge dynasty is also a product of our times. The Spartans had to play […]
Merrimack and Mount St. Mary’s meet Friday afternoon at Lawler Arena (3 p.m. tip) in a rematch of last season’s MAAC semifinals, the first time the programs have faced each other since that March meeting. The Mountaineers ended Merrimack’s season last spring in Atlantic City with a 57-55 victory. This time, the Warriors come in […]
The Warriors withstood an early Vermont goal and held off a late Catamount charge to open the second half with a 5-4 win Monday night at Gutterson Fieldhouse. “It’s always good to win,” coach Merrimack Scott Borek said. “We had to overcome some things to win this game, but we found a way.

The Vancouver Canucks have done just that locked forward Linus Karlsson, who announced a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $2.25 million. The deal keeps Karlsson under contract through the 2027-2028 season and suggests the two sides have reached an agreement where a short-term contract could help both figure out the future. […]

If you thought the criticism of the Olympic selection was already getting ridiculous, it somehow got worse. Much worse for fans of the Edmonton Oilers. Forwards Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman didn’t just miss Team Canada for the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics — they weren’t even a success Matt Larkin’s Olympic All-Snub Team for Daily […]
