It looks like the skys the limit for the ECHLs Las Vegas Wranglers. According to Yahoo! Sports, the team has reached a five-year deal to play their home games on the roof of the Plaza Hotel and Casino. The Wranglers could not get their lease renewed at the Orleans Arena so team president Billy Johnson came up with the unorthodox concept to keep the team in Las Vegas. The exisitng parking lot on the roof of the hotel will undergo a $4 million renovation that will result in a 3,500-seat fabric-shell arena. Visiting teams will stay at the hotel, which is expected to be ready in time for next season. . He made the comment at a media availability Saturday prior to Game 2 of the Boston-Montreal playoff series when a Quebec reporter said there is sentiment in Quebec that the NHL looks more favourably on Seattle than Quebec City when it comes to future expansion. . -- Omar Infante walked past the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium, where he dressed so many times as a member of the Detroit Tigers, and slipped on a crisp, new Kansas City Royals jersey. https://www.sportsstarsjerseys.com/dono ... ll-jersey/. The Mavericks were not going to let San Antonio beat them with 3-pointers, and they did not want Tony Parker using the lane as his personal playground. . The young man, never lacking confidence, thought he could be really good. . The Gatineau Olympiques head coach will lead Canada in its quest to end its gold medal drought at the 2015 world junior hockey championship held in Montreal and Toronto at the end of this year.In the lead-up to the Sunday Night Football game this past weekend between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, TSN premiered My Brothers Keeper, a moving TSN Original Feature focusing on Ravens lineman Maake Kemoeatu, who made the decision to retire from the NFL before this season in order to donate a kidney to his ailing younger brother Chris, who is himself a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Steelers. For TSN Front Row, we asked TSN Original Feature director Matt Dunn to recount his uniquely personal story of how My Brothers Keeper came to be. Heres what he told us: Some feature ideas come easy, some dont. This story struck me like a lightning bolt, and when it was complete I would be emotionally drained but entirely grateful for the experience. You see, I had a personal connection to the subject matter… In the winter of 2012, my wife and I learned that our second son, Charlie, then only a few months old, would need a kidney transplant at some point in the future. I dont really recall the words coming out of the doctors mouth, but I do recall other details of the moment: the room at Torontos Sick Kids hospital, the colour of the doctors sweater, the silence of my wifes reaction as tears began to roll down her cheeks, and the doctor appearing overwhelmed and leaving quickly. She was young and clearly didnt have much experience at breaking news like this to families. So this past September, when I read the headline on the NFLs Twitter account, Former Ravens DT retired in order to donate kidney to brother, I was immediately invested, and became determined to share this story. I wanted to explore the emotional dynamic between the brothers, and I knew the arc of the story would be their awareness of the stakes before the transpllant surgery.dddddddddddd. The brothers agreed to allow TSN to tell their story, and when I arrived in Baltimore with the TSN camera crew, we were greeted warmly by the Kemoeatu family at a rental home. Maake, the kidney donor, Chris, the kidney recipient, and their brother Benji were in the midst of moving back to Hawaii where they own a gym and operate a foundation. The walls were empty, the furniture was limited, and they had a lot on their plate. Especially Chris, who was moving and speaking slowly, his body still adjusting to the new organ functioning within. But they gave me their full attention and then some. Upon learning that my son would need a kidney, the brothers wanted to know more and were happy to answer any questions I had before, after, and during the interview. The same went for Dr. Bartlett, the surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Centre who oversaw the transplant surgery. He turned off his frequently buzzing cell phone to answer my questions about donor waiting lists, the chances of any individual finding a living donor match, and anything else I could squeeze in. When our plane lifted off, I knew we had the story we wanted to tell. I was hopeful the story would inspire Canadians to register to become organ donors. But I was also moved personally: I felt more optimistic about my sons future, and I felt less alone. Upon parting ways with the brothers, there was one more special moment. Maake, the eldest of seven siblings who gave his brother the gift of life, shook my hand and looked squarely into my eyes. Both of us having shared our stories with each other, I felt the strength and compassion in his gaze, like he wanted me to feel a little safer, a little more secure. And I did. I still do. ' ' ' |
