Accused 2018 juniors' appeal adjourned
An appeal made by members of Canada's 2018 world junior hockey team to an independent board has been adjourned until the criminal trial involving those players has ended. A London, Ont., court has heard legal arguments in the sexual assault case of five former members of Canada's world junior team. The trial is set to take place next year.
Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, Michael Mcleod, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton were charged earlier this year in connection with an alleged sexual assault at a hotel in 2018. All five plan to defend themselves and have opted for a jury trial.
Auston Matthews and Steve
Nash are no strangers to being around a net. So, maybe it's not a surprise the Maple Leaf captain and Rocket Richard Trophy winner has found a regular tennis partner with Canadian NBA legend Steve Nash. It turns out the two have played a couple of times this summer, after realizing they're neighbours in Phoenix.
Matthews told Sportsnet's 32 Thoughts Podcast this week that Nash, who at 50 is nearly twice the Leaf centre's age, remains a multi-sport threat.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill acknowledged Wednesday he could have handled himself better in the initial moments of a weekend traffic stop that left him handcuffed and pulled out of his car by officers near the team's stadium. Hill said he wishes he did some things “a bit differently” on Sunday, including leaving the window of his car down when officers instructed him to do so.
“I will say I could have been better,” Hill said. “... Now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not,” Hill added.
