A sport as unique as hockey breeds an equally eccentric cast of characters. Take a look at hockey's most unforgettable legends in "The Hockey 100," where @DownGoesBrown and @RobsonDan rank the sport's 100 greatest players in modern history. Order here: harpercollins.com/products/t…

Ray Emery’s ashes are kept inside a tiny box, just 15 minutes from Canadian Tire Centre. His parents moved back to Ottawa as part of their grieving process. On Thursday, the Emery family will ring the bell inside the CTC — to launch the home opener. nhl.com/senators/news/ottawa…

ASU placed Greg Powers on leave yesterday, but some argue that it’s only a half-measure: “Putting Powers on leave while his best friend of the last decade (assistant coach Alex Hicks) stays in charge of the locker room doesn’t solve the problem.” nytimes.com/athletic/7643010…

Forty-one days after a team workout left a player on life support, Arizona State put men's hockey coach Greg Powers on leave. The coach tabbed to run the team in his place was arrested for DUI in 2024: "I’m going to lose my job if I blow into that." nytimes.com/athletic/7643010…

Honestly, did not expect to see my name in the Globe as a fake AI journalist possibly tied to Moroccan intelligence. By complete coincidence, I’m at the dentist and can’t be reached for comment. 👀 theglobeandmail.com/world/ar…

Five cities. Fifteen days. @_Brian_Hamilton tails Caitlin Clark at the apex of fame (and plenty of furor). "Taylor Swift 2.0," her coach calls her. "She’s a 24-year-old young adult still figuring the world out," says her college coach. nytimes.com/athletic/7626435…

Can Caitlin Clark just play basketball? Over 15 days in five cities, and one phone call about her garden, I tried to find out. Free to read @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/7626435…

This, from @BFQuinn, is outstanding.
“Eli, God love him, would listen to him.” Behind Duncan Robinson’s unlikely ascent to the NBA was a hidden second life — a decade spent as a quiet lifeline to his struggling brother. nyti.ms/4rxzKi4

Katie Strang, the absolute best at what she does in sports journalism and a great human as well.

This story is a credit to @D_Bo20 and the Robinson Family. They want to tell you about Eli. They're hoping it helps others. It's worth remembering: “Maybe we can all be a little less certain about knowing what someone is going through." nytimes.com/athletic/7617243…
