Create Account Both newcomers to the PWHL jumped into the process head first Wednesday with some franchise-altering signings. Locally, the biggest impact was the Toronto Sceptres losing Sarah Nurse to Vancouver, which got the day's proceedings off in lightning fashion striking first to get Minnesota defenders Sophie Jaques and Claire Thompson on its roster. The latter two are both Toronto natives while Nurse is technically a Hamiltonian — though Toronto has been claiming her for a little while now. The loss of Nurse is a big blow to the Sceptres. The heavily decorated Canadian National team player was a foundational selection for the Sceptres and a big part of their culture through the first two seasons. An injury at the Rivalry Series games on the East Coast set Nurse back a bit and cost her 10 games in the regular season. She was just beginning to return to form when the playoffs ended for the Sceptres in that four-game first-round loss to Minnesota. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Vancouver rounded out Day 1 by signing a fourth Canadian, this time dipping into the goaltender pool and grabbing Ottawa Charge netminder Emerance Maschmeyer. Maschmeyer, a Calgary native, was left unprotected after an injury opened a door for rookie Gwyneth Philips, who quickly established herself at worst as a co-No. 1 with Philips in the Ottawa net, taking the Charge to within two wins of a Walter Cup. The Charge opted to protect the younger and cheaper Philips over Maschmeyer. In Seattle, the other expansion market, the signings weren't quite so fast but were equally eye opening. By 10:30 Wednesday night, PWHL Seattle had signed both Boston Fleet captain Hilary Knight and Ottawa Charge forward Danielle Serdachny, who was the No. 2 overall selection in last year's entry draft. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. There were rumblings that Seattle was on the verge of rounding out their five picks allotted to them in that exclusive five-day window by signing Knight's teammate Hannah Bilka as well as New York's Alex Carpenter and Montreal defender Cayla Barnes, but the latter three had not been officially announced as of Thursday morning. It would not be a surprise if Vancouver's fifth selection in this part of the process — if they make a fifth — winds up being North Vancouver native Hannah Miller from the Sceptres. With both Minnesota and Ottawa having already lost two players, both teams are now in a position to protect a fourth player. Minnesota used its fourth protection on polarizing forward Britta Curl-Salemme, while Ottawa had yet to announce its fourth protected player. It's likely to be one of forward Brianne Jenner or Gabbie Hughes, or defender Ashton Bell. All in all, it made for a very entertaining first day of the expansion process, which will continue with the exclusive window signing period until Sunday at 5 p.m. (or at least until both teams reach five players) and then commence again with the expansion draft beginning the following day where the two teams will select up to seven more players each or until they have a roster of 12. The remainder of that roster will be filled out during the annual entry draft on June 23 in Ottawa. mganter@ Sunshine Girls Columnists Sunshine Girls NHL Celebrity

Sleeman Taps PGA Tour Caddie Dave Markle to Celebrate Golf's Ultimate Real One
First-of-its-kind partnership puts the spotlight on golf's underdog and delivers real advice from a trusted voice in the game GUELPH, ON, June 5, 2025 /CNW/ - Sleeman - the Official Beer of Golf Canada - is proud to unveil a game-changing partnership that shifts the spotlight in golf away from the pros and towards the ones behind them. Just in time for the Canadian Open, the Canadian brew has teamed up with PGA Tour caddie and one of Canada's most respected voices in the game, Dave Markle. The first-of-its-kind partnership is designed to cut through the noise and get down to what really matters - recognizing the one who carries the game, and helping Canadians play better golf. "Behind every clutch shot is someone hauling clubs and bringing calm in the chaos. That someone? That's the caddie. Golf's ultimate real one," said Dana Brochu, Director, National Beer, Sleeman Breweries. "Sleeman has built its legacy as a genuine Canadian brand who firmly believes in celebrating real, down-to-earth people. To us, a real one is someone who shows up when it matters, tells it like it is and stays true to their word. No one embodies that spirit more than Dave Markle. His grounded outlook, unwavering work ethic, and genuine love for the game—and for life—make him the perfect ambassador for Sleeman as we continue raising a glass to the real ones, both on and off the course." To kick off the partnership, Sleeman and Markle are getting straight to work. Their first initiative? Cleaning up Canada's golf game. This June, golfers are invited to submit a video to Sleeman of their swing or ask about any part of their game they're working on in exchange for personalized feedback from Markle himself - real advice from a real one. One lucky participant will even win the chance to play nine holes with Markle as their personal caddie. Sleeman's partnership with Markle comes on the heels of a newly launched brand platform, 'Real Ones Know' that's all about creating a sense of community and recognition among everyday down-to-earth people to show them that Sleeman is on their side. It also marks Sleeman's fourth consecutive year as a proud partner of Golf Canada, with Sleeman Clear 2.0 returning as its Official Beer and activations at The Canadian Open. This year, fans can expect more than just beer tents—they'll get real golf insights and swing advice straight from one of the game's most trusted insiders. "In golf, the moment you start trying to play like someone else, you lose what makes your game work," said Dave Markle. "The best players I've seen are the ones who know their game and trust it—tempo, mindset, the whole thing. It's not about being perfect; it's about being real. That's why I'm proud to team up with Sleeman. They're not trying to be anything they're not—and in this game, that kind of honesty goes a long way." Looking to save a few strokes this season? Canadians 19 years of age and older can participate by sending a video of their swing or burning questions via direct message to Sleeman on Instagram. In return, a limited number of participants will receive a video back from Markle analyzing their swing or offering tips tailored to their game.
