Brad Gushue's decision to add Brendan Bottcher at second to replace E.J. Harnden caused a stir in the curling world, but now that the dust has settled, the six-time Brier champion is focused on returning to the ice, writes @KrRutherford. sportsnet.ca/curling/article…
Chris Tanev is going to be “a fan favourite” with the Toronto Maple Leafs, if you ask his pal Noah Hanifin, who also provides important details about Tanev’s “snaggle 🦷.”

"I had guys like Roberts and Recchi say, ‘Listen, we’ve been in the league 20 years, this normally doesn’t happen." That was Steven Stamkos's introduction to the NHL. It's "different," but a smoother start ahead of his debut with the Nashville Predators.

So much gratitude among the fans in Salt Lake City as they welcomed the Utah Hockey Club to their new home.
Feeling incredibly grateful to have been there to witness it and write about a great night of hockey here in Utah.
The atmosphere at Delta Center was celebratory from the start, the crowd launching into its first chant — LET’S GO, UTAH! — mere seconds after puck drop.
It only got better from there on a wonderful opening night for the Utah Hockey Club. (@EmmySadler) sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/uta…

I spent 40 minutes with Martin St. Louis yesterday.
We talked about his methods+the culture he’s built with the Canadiens.
“I feel we’re ready to win more,” he said.
He offered justifications+opened a window into how he sees himself+his role👇🏻

Proud to share this piece I’ve been working on for the past year for @Sportsnet telling the stories of 3 former residential school survivors and athletes sportsnet.ca/more/longform/t…
The founder of the 40-40 club weighs in on Shohei Ohtani's incredible milestone and much much much more. Ie, "I am, at 60 years old, the longest hitting softball player in the world. By far."
José Canseco might know how Shohei Ohtani is feeling. The founding member of MLB's 40-40 club shared his thoughts with @KrRutherford on Ohtani's historic 50-50 season and weighs in on everything from "immature" MLB rules to the breakdown of society. sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/hes…

On Thursday morning, 34-year-old Steven Stamkos made his on-ice debut with the Nashville Predators at training camp.
"I felt like a young kid again, getting out there and just feeling out your surroundings." (@KrRutherford) sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sta…
On Molly Carlson, the biggest star in @cliffdiving for reasons that transcend her sport. A big thank you to Molly and her family for sharing her story. It was such a treat to write.

American Jessica Pegula defends her title. Incredible. Then gives an incredible speech — applauds Anisimova's decision to step away from tennis and return on her own terms. Says it's a great time to be part of women's sport. Tells everyone to stay and watch the doubles final💥

Jessica Pegula is one win away from defending her National Bank Open title but a fellow American stands in her way. (@KrRutherford) sportsnet.ca/tennis/article/…

CANADA'S FIRST GOLD AT PARIS 2024!
Christa Deguchi does it in 57 KG judo. The first Canadian woman to win judo gold!
The World No. 1 delivers. Incredible.
Deguchi gives Canada its second medal of Day 3.
Summer McIntosh the gold medal favourite tonight.
In minutes, Christa Deguchi of Canada will compete for gold in the 57 KG judo.
What a Canadian story this is. The Deguchi family is from Japan. Christa began competing for Canada in 2017. Christa and her sister, Kelly, both compete (Kelly in 52 KG) in judo.
Christa got beaten out for Canada's only Olympic spot at Tokyo 2020. Now, redemption at Paris 2024.
"I think goals can be limiting." Summer McIntosh said that when she was 15, not long after she won her first two world titles.
Resurfacing this feature from back then on the 17-year-old who's favoured to win Olympic 400-m IM gold today.
