New professional women’s hockey league will launch in 6 cities

For the first season, each team will play 24 regular season games starting in January 2024. The league says subsequent seasons will begin in November and include 32 games. An expansion is also possible in the future, he said. In its final season, the PHF had teams in Boston; buffalo; Simsbury, Conn.; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Richfield, MN; Montreal; and Toronto. With the start of the new championship, Buffalo and Connecticut lose their teams, while Ottawa gains one. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said his league is reluctant to get involved in women's hockey as long as the split continues. Stan Kasten, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who serves on the new league's board of directors, said the NHL has provided advice. “The NHL has supported us fantastically,” he s...

Some things are more important than history

He didn't care that it was a no-hitter. He just wanted the Yankees to win. More than five hours after we arrived at Yankee Stadium, my 9-year-old son Wes had waited in line for an hour in a rainstorm, picked up his coveted (replica) 1998 Yankees World Series ring, and he convinced me to buy it. a t-shirt, visited the Gluten Free Grill twice, mourned Jasson Domínguez's season-ending injury, cheered Aaron Judge so loudly his voice was getting hoarse, and brushed off every single mention I made of Corbin Burnes, the starter for the Milwaukee Brewers, was playing an incredible game. While rain delayed Sunday's game between Milwaukee and the Yankees by just 15 minutes, soggy conditions persisted through the first inning and Burnes, the 2021 National League Cy Young Award winner, rocked the Y...

How Ohio State unlocked its NIL potential and won the college football offseason

COLUMBUS, Ohio — When Gene Smith and Ryan Day met after the season, the athletic director made it clear he was going “all in” on football. Ohio State heavily investing in football is hardly new, but after three consecutive losses to Michigan, Smith wanted to take it up a notch before retiring this summer. Smith sketched out a long list of donors that the Buckeyes needed to call. He passed it to his sixth-year head coach. “Ryan, you need to call these guys,” Smith recalled telling Day. “I can answer the questions, but you’re the football coach.” The program needed some upkeep on the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, and Smith expects to go to the Ohio State board in May with proposed changes before his June 30 retirement date. And whatever coaching changes Day needed to make, Smith was on board...

Fritz Peterson, Yankee pitcher in unusual “trade,” dies at 81

But none of Peterson's on-field successes or off-field eccentricities proved as memorable as the discovery, in March 1973, that he and another Yankee pitcher, Mike Kekich, were living in each other's homes with his wife and children. 'other. As a Daily News headline declared, “2 Yank Pitchers Trade Wives: Peterson, Kekich Hurl Change-Ups.” The two men, who each had two young children, had known each other since 1969, after Kekich was traded to the Yankees from the Los Angeles Dodgers. They had become close friends, met each other's wives, and by the summer of 1972 were discussing the obvious fact that Peterson and Susanne Kekich had fallen in love, as had Kekich and Marilyn Peterson. Their solution was for the men to change not just wives but families, with the Kekichs' daughters, Krist...

Farm animals are transported all over the country. So are their pathogens

As they travel, farm animals can also leave pathogens behind. In one study, scientists found that disease-causing bacteria, including some resistant to antibiotics, were spilling out of moving poultry trucks and into the cars behind them. The trucks “were just spreading these antibiotic-resistant bacteria,” said Ana Rule, a bioaerosol expert at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health and an author of the study. Contaminated transport vehicles are known to spread pathogens long after infected animals have disembarked and could play a role in the dairy cow outbreak, officials said. Infected animals can then spark outbreaks at their destinations, including livestock auctions, which often attract animals too old, sick or small for the commercial food supply. Such aucti...
