Islanders name Ryan Bowness director of player personnel
June 16 - The New York Islanders named Ryan Bowness assistant general manager and director of player personnel on Monday.
Bowness spent the past three seasons with the Ottawa Senators, including as associate GM during the 2024-25 season. He was assistant GM his first two seasons there.
Bowness joins a revamped front office. The Islanders named Mathieu Darche as general manager last month.
The Islanders missed the playoffs in 2024-25 after posting a 35-35-12 record (82 points). New York, however, landed the top overall pick of the upcoming 2025 NHL Draft earlier this month, despite having the 10th-best chance of winning the lottery at 3.5 percent.
Bowness is the son of former Islanders head coach Rick Bowness (1996-98).

Shohei Ohtani hit with huge news over gambling scandal hours before return to the mound with LA Dodgers
Shohei Ohtani's disgraced former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, has reported to a federal prison in Pennsylvania to begin his incarceration. Mizuhara will serve 57 months in Federal Correctional Institution Allenwood Low, a low-security facility in the rural part of the state, after stealing around $17million from the Los Angeles Dodgers megastar. The news of Ohtani's former interpreter comes hours before the Japanese dynamo is slated to make his first start as a pitcher since August 2023. Mizuhara was fired by the Dodgers last March after it was revealed millions in wire transfers from Ohtani's bank accounts were sent to an illegal bookmaker. The 40-year-old pled guilty to bank fraud and filing a false tax return last June, with his report to prison coming one year after he formally admitted to the crimes, per ESPN. Miuzhara revealed he placed over 19,000 bets over a 2-year span and had amassed more than $40million in debt.

McIlroy first to qualify for Team Europe at Ryder Cup
June 16 (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy became the first player to qualify for Europe for the 2025 Ryder Cup, the team announced on Monday, with the Masters champion set to make his eighth consecutive appearance in the biennial event. McIlroy sealed his spot through the European Points List, a qualification pathway based on performances in DP World Tour and co-sanctioned events, as the Northern Irishman has enjoyed four victories so far since last August. The 35-year-old completed a long-sought career Grand Slam at Augusta National in April, on top of victories at the Dubai DP World Tour Championship in November, the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and The Players Championship. A top-20 finish at the U.S. Open over the weekend was enough to mathematically guarantee his place on the team. The 2025 Ryder Cup will be held at Bethpage Black in New York from September 26–28, with European captain Luke Donald set to round out his 12-man squad later this year through six automatic qualifiers and six captain's picks. "It's always a huge honour to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup, so it means a great deal to have qualified for my eighth in a row and to be part of Luke's team again at Bethpage," McIlroy said. "Winning a Ryder Cup away from home is one of the biggest challenges there is in golf. We know it is going to be tough in New York, but we are all looking forward to that challenge in September and the opportunity to potentially do something special." McIlroy has been a Ryder Cup mainstay since his debut in 2010, helping Europe to five victories in seven appearances.

The Portuguese forward appeared to exchange words with LAFC's Denis Bouanga after the half-time whistle was blown. Neto pretended to plant a kiss on the Frenchman's cheek. The pair began shoving, despite the assistant referee trying to move Neto away from the situation. Chelsea players were forced to get in between the pair to avoid any escalation. Both Neto and Bouanga were able to avoid any punishment from referee Jesus Valenzuela. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
