Jokic scores 32 in 3rd triple-double this season as Nuggets roll to 128-109 win over Raptors

Craig Meyer, The Associated Press 2 minute read 12:04 AM EST

DENVER (AP) — Nikola Jokic had 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his third triple-double this season to lead the Denver Nuggets over the Toronto Raptors 128-109 on Wednesday night.

Six other Nuggets players finished in double figures, led by rookie forward Bryce Hopkins, who came off the bench to score a career-high 18 points. Aaron Gordon added 17 points while Jamal Murray had 14 points and seven assists.

Jokic, who made 13 of his 19 shots, also had a team-high three steals.

The 19-point win was the Nuggets’ most lopsided victory of the season. They had lost two of their first three home games, with the only win coming after rallying from a 23-point deficit against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Vancouver Whitecaps focused ahead of regular-season finale against CF Montreal

Gemma Karstens-Smith, The Canadian Press 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:01 PM EST

VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Whitecaps believe their job is far from done.

The 'Caps (18-8-7) have already clinched the top spot in Major League Soccer's Western Conference and with it home field against any Western team in the playoffs.

There's still lots to play for, though, as the team prepares to visit CF Montreal on Saturday for the final game of the regular season, said striker Brian White.

“We're out to get three points. I think that's the way we look at it," he said. "Obviously, they don't have much to play for at this moment, so you don't know how they're going to come out. But we have everything to play for, and we're going to go out with the best intention to win that game."

With post-season hopes dashed, Toronto FC to play for pride in season finale

Gregory Strong, The Canadian Press 4 minute read Yesterday at 4:44 PM EST

TORONTO - After falling short in a late-season push for a playoff spot, Toronto FC will play for pride Saturday when the Major League Soccer club closes out its regular season against the Philadelphia Union.

A 3-1 loss in Atlanta last Sunday sealed TFC's fate. It's the sixth season in a row that the club has missed the post-season.

"It's devastating, honestly," Toronto forward Theo Corbeanu said Wednesday after a team training session. "Really, really annoying. Very frustrating to not be able to get into the playoffs."

Toronto (9-12-12) felt like it was in must-win mode in recent weeks and delivered some decent results to get within striking distance of the ninth-place cutline in the Eastern Conference.

Bombers to give QB Collaros every chance to play before naming CFL East final starter

Dan Ralph, The Canadian Press 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 8:19 PM EST

Head coach Mike O'Shea knows the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be in Montreal on Saturday playing in the East Division final.

Who will be his starting quarterback, though, is an entirely different matter.

Dru Brown orchestrated last weekend's 25-22 East semifinal win over the Toronto Argonauts. Brown hit Nic Demski on a 23-yard TD pass with 44 seconds remaining, then found Demski for the two-point conversion.

Zach Collaros didn't suit up due to a rib injury suffered in Winnipeg's playoff-clinching 34-10 win over B.C. on Oct. 23. Brown replaced Collaros and went 11-of-11 passing for 185 yards and two TDs as the Bombers outscored the Lions 24-0 in the fourth quarter.

Canadiens pick up the pieces after ’embarrassing, unacceptable’ collapse against Jets

Daniel Rainbird, The Canadian Press 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 3:41 PM EST

BROSSARD - The Montreal Canadiens were still digesting their epic, history-making collapse a little more than 12 hours later.

In a stunning turnaround that made headlines across North America — Fox News called it a "choke job almost too shocking to believe" — the Canadiens surrendered a four-goal lead with 2:39 remaining in regulation and lost 5-4 in overtime to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

"I don't know, it's hard right now," veteran centre Jake Evans said after practice Wednesday morning. "I think we're all still swallowing it up."

It was the latest four-goal comeback in NHL history, smashing the previous mark by more than four minutes. Teams had a record of 0-10,299-0 when facing a deficit of at least four goals entering the final three minutes of regulation before Tuesday.

Canada must wear IIHF-approved jerseys at world women’s hockey championship

The Canadian Press 2 minute read Yesterday at 3:04 PM EST

TORONTO - Hockey Canada says its players have yet to see the jerseys they will be required to wear at the 2026 IIHF Women's World Championship.

The organization said in a release Wednesday that Canada will be required to wear jerseys designed by the International Ice Hockey Federation and its jersey supplier True Hockey, starting Friday, when the women’s national team faces Sweden in Herning, Denmark.

The requirement comes during a dispute between member nations and the IIHF over the control of commercial rights for national team jerseys.

The IIHF announced an agreement with True Hockey in a press release last October that stated the company would be the "exclusive supplier of team uniforms and apparel for all IIHF member national associations for all international events" beginning in 2026-27.

Timeline: How Russia’s hockey comeback bid collided with Canada

The Canadian Press 4 minute read Yesterday at 12:52 PM EST

Prime Minister Mark Carney's refusal to allow Russian players to compete at the 2027 world junior hockey championship in Alberta is the latest twist in a years-long battle over Russia's place in international hockey.

What began with a ban following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine has turned into a legal and diplomatic dispute, with a court ruling ordering Russia's reinstatement, European hockey powers threatening boycotts and Canada standing firm against its return.

Here's how the dispute unfolded:

Feb. 28, 2022: The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) barred Russia and Belarus from international tournaments following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Belarusian support for it. The federation later stripped Russia of hosting rights for the 2023 world junior championship.

Hellebuyck says family circumstances drove request for trade out of Winnipeg

The Canadian Press 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 12:46 PM EST

Star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck says "very challenging circumstances" involving his family were among the reasons he requested a trade out of Winnipeg.

In a letter to Jets fans posted Wednesday on Instagram, Hellebuyck acknowledged his trade request disappointed those who had supported him throughout his career in Winnipeg.

"I understand those feelings, and I want everyone to know it was an extremely difficult decision," he said. "After a lot of thought and discussion, we ultimately felt that making a change was the best thing for our family.

"We've chosen to keep those personal circumstances private, and I hope people can respect that."

"None, nothing, zero," the veteran coach said with a smile.

It didn't take long to see what was in store after years of NHL purgatory in the desert.

Canada dismisses fears of international blowback over Russian world junior hockey ban

The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 12:18 PM EST

OTTAWA - Canada's secretary of state for sport dismissed concerns Wednesday that barring Russian players from next month's world junior hockey championship in Alberta could hurt the country's chances of hosting future international events, including the Olympics.

"No, we've been unequivocal with respect to our support for Ukraine and in our insistence that Russia as well as Belarus do not compete in international events while using their national symbols," Adam van Koeverden said when asked about potential repercussions.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled last week that Russia must be reinstated to international competition, starting with the world juniors. Russian and Belarusian teams have been banned since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

But veteran sport lawyer Dick Pound said the international sport court has no authority to dictate which athletes Canada allows into the country.
