Ottawa Senators Captain Brady Tkachuk Featured On NHL 26 Cover
Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk had a treat for Senators fans on Wednesday afternoon. He posted on social media the new cover of EA Sports' NHL 26 Deluxe Edition, which features the NHL-playing members of the Tkachuk family. The cover shows Brady and his father, Keith Tkachuk, flanking his brother, Matthew, who has won the last two Stanley Cups with the Florida Panthers. Brady's caption on Twitter read: 'A lifetime of hockey together, now a cover we'll never forget. Pre-order 26 to get 7-day early access and check my game.' The link directs users to EA Sports' website, where they can watch the official 2-minute reveal trailer, which prominently features the Tkachuks in real and virtual form. The Tkachuks' popularity went to another level in the past few months with both Brady and Matthew playing so well at the 4 Nations Face-off in February, along with Matthew's second Cup win in as many years. 'Growing up, Matthew and I dreamed of playing just like our dad,' Brady said in an EA Sports press release on Wednesday. 'Even now, his influence on how we play and prepare remains huge. It's an honour to be featured on the cover, and having him standing alongside us makes the whole thing even better.' Matthew agreed. 'My dad, Brady and I are all unique and play the way we want to. Sharing the cover of NHL 26 is an extension of that,' Matthew said. 'I've always tried to bring my own style to the ice, and seeing that captured in NHL 26 makes it feel like it is really me out there.' 'I always told the boys to play hard, be smart, and never lose their personality out there,' Ketih said. 'What you see now is two players with totally unique styles, and I'm proud to be sharing the cover with them.' From the EA Sports Press Release: Electronic Arts Inc. today unveils EA SPORTS™ NHL® 26, launching September 12, 2025, on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S with a new level of on-ice authenticity and superstar quality. Back-to-back Stanley Cup champion, Matthew Tkachuk, graces the cover of the deluxe edition alongside his brother, Brady, and their father, Keith, in a dream lineup uniting hockey's present and past. With real-world NHL EDGE positional data (NHL Puck and Player Tracking) powering gameplay, in partnership with the NHL, and a reimagined Be A Pro mode that immerses players in the stakes and emotions of playing at the highest level, NHL 26 delivers an immersive and intense experience for hockey fans around the world. This year's cover athletes challenge traditional notions of NHL superstardom. Matthew Tkachuk, known for his relentless physicality and skill, has captivated fans with a signature style that breaks the conventional playbook. Bringing together two generations of Tkachuks, the cover highlights a family that's carved its own path with individuality, edge, and an unyielding drive to win. The Deluxe Edition launches on September 5, with the worldwide release following on September 12. By Steve WarneThe Hockey News Ottawa

Colts announce new concessions at Lucas Oil Stadium ahead of 2025-26 NFL season
Colts fans may not know who will play quarterback for their team opening week at Lucas Oil Stadium, but they can count on some good food to eat while watching whomever it is. The Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday held their annual Culinary Showcase, offering a glimpse at the new concessions and suite items that will be sold at home games during the 2025-26 season. Here's a rundown of eight dishes, designed by Sodexo Live! executive chef David Dyrek and his team, that will hit the concourses starting Aug. 16 for the Colts' preseason matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The fullback dive of gameday food, a straightforward smack of flavor virtually guaranteed to deliver what you want from it. Colts culinary veteran Tony Miles' trademark wings have a mild, sweet flavor and the almost glassy exterior made possible by smoking. The wings come with a few palate-cleansing celery stalks and carrot sticks, plus a handful of ring-shaped tater tots to complete the stadium's 'meat and fried starch' motif. A sturdy eight-inch hoagy roll cradles two pork rib patties that are about as soft as the bread itself, plus a generous coating of barbecue sauce and a scattering of pickles and red onion slivers. The not-too-sweet condiment does most of the heavy lifting flavor-wise, but what are ribs if not a delivery mechanism for sauce? Meanwhile, the pickles bring some welcome pop, rounding out a commendable handheld dish that's a huge win for the demographic of people who get really amped when they see a 'McRib is back' billboard. This sandwich is, to borrow a technical culinary term, essentially the burger-fication of a bratwurst. A malty pretzel bun totes a Fischer Farms sausage patty topped with sauerkraut and cloaked in beer cheese. One could argue this dish could just be a standard brat on a hot dog bun, but I'd argue the point of concessions isn't to ask 'should we' but rather 'can we.' A jumble of white and blue corn tortilla chips cradles pleasantly chewy grilled flank steak, black beans, queso, sour cream, salsa and pickled jalapeños that pack a nice briny sting. While there's definitely a certain nostalgic charm to the prototypical stadium nachos doused in unnaturally smooth, highlighter-yellow cheese, the Colts' pizza box varietal presents a substantial uptick in craftsmanship. Even though the Caesar salad was invented in Tijuana and Buffalo sauce famously originated in upstate New York, there's something beautifully Middle American about this sandwich, served on an 8-inch hoagy roll. The combination of our nation's favorite salad and wing sauce is hyper-savory, plenty salty, a little spicy and probably exactly as delicious or off-putting as it sounds to you. These straightforward tacos come with a choice of pork al pastor, steak, chicken or barbecue jackfruit with diced onion, salsa and cilantro. The jackfruit iteration has plenty of heft despite the lack of meat and a respectable degree of barbecue smokiness, making it a life raft for the vegan or vegetarian Colts fan afloat in a sea of grilled meat and melted cheese. With all due respect to dueling quarterbacks Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, the Colts offseason battle I'm most invested in is between the Korean BBQ and Pico Dogs. The former features a sausage topped with slow-cooked pork, jalapeño coleslaw and crema, while the latter includes a frankfurter laden with pulled pork, crisp cabbage slaw, chipotle aioli, pickled red onion and scallions. While both contenders deserve a roster spot, in my opinion the Korean dog's blend of meat, heat and tang make it worthy of first-team reps. This deep-fried delicacy, named for the Colts' beloved anthropomorphic horse mascot, features churros smothered in whipped cream, chocolate sauce and miniature M&Ms. It tastes exactly how it sounds, which is to say, insanely sweet. You can alternatively order the crunchy sugar-studded churros a la carte with dipping sauces, which is almost certainly the right call as the unadulterated fry pie delivers a sugar rush that could seemingly KO an actual horse.

Alex Ovechkin partners with a Russian technology company to make a movie about his career
Alex Ovechkin has partnered with a Russian technology company to produce a movie, series or documentary about his NHL career. Yandex and its streaming platform, Kinopoisk, announced the agreement Tuesday. Ovechkin this past spring broke Wayne Gretzky's career goals record and has scored 897 going into the final season of his contract with the Washington Capitals. Ovechkin, who turns 40 next month, has along with his representatives granted the rights to adapt his career to Yandex's production label, Plus Studio. The Moscow native who began his professional career in the Russian league, now the KHL, is expected to take part in commercials and serve as a Yandex ambassador as part of the deal. Ovechkin has played his entire career with Washington since the Capitals drafted him with the first pick in 2004 and he debuted in 2005. He has been the face of the franchise since, served as their captain since January 2010 and was playoff MVP in 2018 when he led them to their first Stanley Cup championship.
