Majestic Starlight Indian relay team races toward healing at INFR qualifier

Representing multiple Indigenous nations, the team blends tradition, culture and a deep love for the sport. 'Being a part of a team like this means a lot,' says co-owner Keagan Pahtayken. 'Just to express how it is to be an Indian, really … and to show that we are here still.'

Majestic Starlight is a fully sober team: riders who have overcome personal struggles and now race as a symbol of hope. 'I don't really want to see any of the young men go through what I did … going through prison lifestyle,' says co-owner Leon Pahtayken. 'So I switched that around with my life, going back into the horse stuff.' Story continues below advertisement For these riders, sobriety isn't just a personal choice, it's a core part of the team's energy and connection. 'Alcohol and drugs don't mix with horses,' Leon adds. 'Being sober keeps us together, shows us how to love each other, how to trust each other, and we build stronger.' Now, with every lap, Majestic Starlight sends a message. Second chances are real, healing is possible, and the future rides clean. The INFR will be held in Las Vegas, Nev., Oct. 14-18.

The ‘Summer era' continues as McIntosh wins her second gold at swim worlds
SINGAPORE—It's harder here, greatness, even as it unfolds. Summer McIntosh has won two gold medals in two days at the world championships, and that was the goal, or at least, the start of the goal: she wasn't seriously challenged in the 400-metre freestyle on Day 1, and she was in control of the 200 individual medley Monday night. The drive to win five gold medals at a world championship — something only Michael Phelps has done, in 2007 — is very much alive. But in a meet where no world records have been set in two days, the 18-year-old Toronto native was clearly not happy with winning a gold medal in 2:06.69, nearly two seconds ahead of American Alex Walsh but well short of the 2:05.70 world record Summer set in Victoria last month. She says she's fitter, and better, than she was in that historic Canadian trials. But she was clearly unsatisfied. Opinion articles are based on the author's interpretations and judgments of facts, data and events. More details

Ottawa G Gwyneth Philips, playoff MVP, signs 2-year deal
(Photo credit: Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images) The Ottawa Charge signed goaltender and playoff heroine Gwyneth Philips to a two-year contract extension. The deal announced Sunday keeps the 24-year-old Ohio native in the Canadian capital through 2027-28. Philips went 8-5-1 with two shutouts, a 2.11 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage as a rookie in 2024-25. She was a finalist for PWHL Rookie of the Year and Goaltender of the Year honors. In the postseason, the third-round pick from Northeastern went 4-0-4 with a 1.23 GAA and .952 save percentage to earn the Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP award. Ottawa fell to the Minnesota Frost in four games in the Walter Cup finals. 'This is a very exciting day for our organization,' Charge general manager Mike Hirshfeld said. 'Anyone who watched the PWHL Playoffs last year saw what an incredible player Gwyneth is and how she can impact a game. When we drafted her, we believed that she had the ability to be one of the top goaltenders in the world, and after her performances last year, we are even more convinced.'
