That's not fun. You want to - you don't want to go home, but you want to be at home. You want to be in a home. And to play with that mindset is kind of tough. So just to be able to go to a home with a guy, and have your own room, and your own living room, and all that kind of stuff, I think it just helps out your play on the ice too.

A hotel on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Ely, Minn., teaches guests how to harness, mush, and manage teams of three to six dogs during their stay.

Set dramatically on the westernmost tip of Lake Superior, Minnesota's northern hub tells stories of grit and grandeur. Over the years, the city has transformed from a rough-and-tumble logging and mining outpost into a destination for both outdoor enthusiasts and culture seekers, completing one of America's great urban renewal stories.

This was a turbocharged crowd that locked in for the final regular season match-up between two great division rivals from the moment the puck dropped. The fans welcomed back trade-deadline reacquisition Nazem Kadri, of the '22 Cup team, like he was Peter Forsberg, and they went nuts just for a backchecking dispossession he pulled off early in the game.

Over the weekend, the basketball star Breanna Stewart didn't have her normal bounce during player introductions. As soon as the announcer shouted her name, Stewart walked out holding a white sign with a message: Abolish ICE. "I think that when human lives are at stake, it's bigger than anything else," Stewart said at a press conference following the game with Unrivaled, a three-on-three professional basketball league she co-founded in 2024.

But he was brought up to Boston on November 8 when Elias Lindholm was injured. He didn't allow this chance pass him by. Steeves made an immediate impression with his hustle, scoring in his second game with the Bruins against his old team. He's got 8-6-14 totals and is plus-5 in 33 games, though he's gone very cold lately. He has not scored a goal since December 23, a span of 12 games.

The decision reportedly came from Quinn Hughes himself, with him not wanting to sign a contract extension with the Vancouver Canucks this summer. Canucks' 2024-25 season had sharply declined, and the organization needed to make changes. By trading Hughes, they received a massive package of prospects and a high draft pick (forwards Marco Rossi and Liam Öhgren, defenseman Zeev Buium, and a 2026 first-round pick).

CHICAGO The Sharks have been one of the NHL's most surprising and talked-about teams so far this season. They've had some rough spells, for sure, but it's largely been one feel-good moment after another as they've become playoff contenders after two straight years of finishing in the league's basement. Now the Sharks are dealing with the other side of that coin: enhanced expectations and added pressure.
