Junior Cam McKenna added the dagger at 10:02 of the final frame on the power play, netting his first of the tournament and giving him 22 goals in as many games on the season.

'It's good to get the win, especially against those guys,' McLellan said. 'They've really taken it to us in the past.'
Hingham's title was its first in the Buddy Ferreira Classic since 2022, with its first title having come in 2009. The Habormen hadn't defeated the Eagles in any game in Falmouth since the 2010 season.
McLellan was joined on the all-tournament team by teammates Mike Karo, a junior goaltender who made 30 saves in the final, and junior defenseman Colman Donohue, who tallied his first varsity goal earlier in the tournament.
'I love that in a hockey game, when it's nice and gritty,' Karo said. 'There was a lot of action going on around the net and my team was able to support me the entire time.'
Senior Nolan O'Sullivan, who was named to the all-tournament team, scored the lone goal for the Eagles at 6:33 of the second period to open the scoring. Joining him on the all-tournament team were Eagles senior defenseman Griffin Faherty, as well as senior forward Cam Berry, the recipient of the 10-19 Foundation Scholarship.

Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce Appear to Confirm Exciting Family News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is spending the bulk of the offseason training in South Florida and enjoying quality time with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. He also continues to film new episodes of "New Heights" with his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. Over the past few months, they've invited a slew of star-studded guests on the show, including Ben Affleck, Shaquille O'Neal, Wayne Gretzky, and their own mom, Donna Kelce, for a special Mother's Day show. While Donna became a popular public figure following the Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl in 2023, the spotlight on the family has grown exponentially since Travis start dating Swift, the most famous pop star in the world. While Donna has racked up numerous major sponsorships with Celebrity Cruises, Pillsbury, and Chex Mix, rumors swirl she's about to star on the competition reality series, "Traitors." The rumored Season 4 cast list leak included Donna, 72, as one of the contestants alongside "Real Housewives" stars Porsha Williams, Lisa Rinna, and Dorinda Medley, Colton Underwood from Bachelor Nation, former Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir, Mark Ballas from "Dancing With the Stars," and more.

Can't wait to hear them talk about it next week!"This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

Zack Baun Ends Fan Panic With Perfect 12-Word Message
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. We've all watched the Philadelphia Eagles for a while now. We may not have watched the game as long as someone who remembers the AFL/NFL merger, but we've certainly seen enough to make educated guesses. We've seen trends, a ton of football, and so many offseasons. We've seen divisional realignment and the NFL going from six divisions to eight. Raise your hand if you remember when the Arizona Cardinals were in the NFC East. Some memories are tougher, such as Reggie White leaving the Eagles in free agency. As sad as that was, however, everyone learned something from it. Losing the Minister of Defense still hurts, but life went on. That being said, an offseason like the most recent, one where so many familiar faces were lost, can be overcome. If you need a shot of confidence, look no further than Zack Baun's direction. Zack Baun #53 of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrates after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome on February 9, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana Zack Baun #53 of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrates after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome on February 9, 2025 in New Orleans, LouisianaEagles All-Pro Zack Baun Eases Fan and Media Panic With 12 words Coooer DeJean and Reed Blankenship have hit a home run with their Exciting Mics brand. Their podcast is new, but it's loads of fun. Recently, they have interviewed Saquon Barkley. On an even more recent episode, Zack Baun sat down for a conversation. Baun signed an extension after the Super Bowl. He also saw the mass exodus by so many Eagles defenders that we all witnessed during free agency. Fans and the media panicked, but the fan favorite hasn't lost any of his confidence. "I feel like we're miles ahead of where we were last year"... Zack Baun on the Eagles defense heading into the season: 'I feel like we're miles ahead of where we were last year' — Exciting Mics (@excitingmics) June 12, 2025 Those were Baun's words during his interview with Reed and Coop. It sounds simple enough to say, but this is Philly. People need action more than words. Howie Roseman and his staff attacked free agency and the draft, stacking the defense with hungry players looking to make an impact. Philadelphia lost Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, and Darius Slay. They lost Isaiah Rodgers, Oren Burks, and Avonte Maddox. This offseason, they traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson away. Eventually, they moved on from Bryce Huff, but they've stacked the cupboard with low-risk signings and several exciting draftees. Philly is good at this. Adoree Jackson and Azeez Ojulari find their way to Philly from a rival. Josh Uche is another of the free-agent signings. So is Patrick Johnson. During the NFL Draft, they added Jihaad Campbell, Smael Mondon, Ty Robinson, and Andrew Mukuba. Philly didn't sit idly with their losses. They held serve at several positions and, dare we say, they upgraded at some others. They're also infused with youth. Guys like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Kelee Ringo await their opportunities. Their time is now, and the consensus is they are ready. Vic Fangio has tons of talent to work with. All of that has been said to say this. Take Baun's words for it. Philly will be just fine on defense in 2025. Believe it or not, they may be better than they were last season.

Why Lane Johnson believes he can be better than ever at 35 years old
Why Lane Johnson believes he can be better than ever at 35 years old originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia He turned 35 about a month ago. He's going into his 13th NFL season. He projects as the oldest starting offensive tackle in the league in 2025. And he'll be the 2nd-oldest offensive tackle in Eagles history, behind former teammate Jason Peters. Advertisement And Lane Johnson believes he just may be better than ever. 'Now, I feel like even though I'm 35, I feel better than I was when I started (or when I was) 29 or 30,' Johnson said after a recent OTA practice. 'I had the (ankle) surgeries and so for me the toughest year was '21 and you can go back and watch it, you can clearly see on film, I was very hindered with my left foot. 'And now, I feel like I'm getting close to maybe my peak. As weird as it is to say, but that's truly how I feel. 'Maybe they need to do a Combine for guys 10 years (in the league), see how we do compared to 10 years ago.' The notion of any other player getting close to his peak at 35 would be absurd. But when Johnson says it, you believe him. Advertisement He's made 1st– or 2nd-team all-pro in each of the last four years, he's made six Pro Bowls in all and he's one of only two position players – along with Brandon Graham – to win two Super Bowls in an Eagles uniform. Last year at 34, he became the oldest Pro Bowl right tackle since 36-year-old Hall of Famer Jackie Slater in 1990. Johnson is one of only five offensive tackles in NFL history with two championships, two 1st-team all-pros and six Pro Bowls. Four of the others are Hall of Famers – Forrest Gregg, Jim Parker, Art Shell and Rayfield Wright. The other is Jim Tyrer, who has been left out of the Hall of Fame for non-football reasons. Anybody who was paying attention knows Johnson should have locked up his third 1st-team all-pro last year, an honor that went to Penei Sewell of the Lions. He was good last year. Not as good as Lane. Advertisement As Johnson goes into his 13th season trying to bolster his Hall of Fame credentials and help the Eagles to a fourth Super Bowl and third title in nine years, that sort of thing drives him. 'Yeah, with anything you read, you try to change,' he said. 'If somebody has a bad opinion of you, hopefully you can get out there in the field and maybe, change their narrative on you. The only way how is to be more violent. For me that's what it's going to take.' Now here's a thought: What if Johnson wasn't an Eagle? What if he never had 13 years coached by Jeff Stoutland, the GOAT? What if he didn't man right tackle at a Hall of Fame level since 2013? It could have happened. The Chiefs, Jaguars and Dolphins had the first three picks in the 2013 draft, and they took tackle Eric Fisher, who had a good-but-not-great career, tackle Luke Joeckel, who had a brief career, and defensive end Dion Jordan, who only started five games. Advertisement 'I thought about what would have happened if I went to Miami,' he said. 'Kansas City wouldn't have been bad, but, you know, Jacksonville? But yeah, very fortunate to land here, and I just think the passion of the city and the intensity and how they focus so much on the sport, I think it allows, whatever pressure they put on you, I think it allows you to be the best player you can be. So it's something that you can really appreciate in time, and I know I have.' Including the postseason, Johnson has started 173 games, 5th-most in Eagles history. The only players to start more games in an Eagles uniform while never playing for another team are Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox. Kelce started 205 games, so if Johnson plays every game this year and next year, he'll get to 207 and pass his close friend and longtime teammate. 'I'm very happy with how things have turned out,' Johnson said. 'You know, when you're in it, when you're still playing, there's always more to do, more to strive for. But, looking back, I'm very happy with how my career has gone, the players I got to play with, the mentors. Advertisement 'So yeah, I'm very fortunate. I don't know if I would be the same player or what would happen if I was with another organization. But this place has got the most out of me. And whatever time I have left, I think we can still be very, very good.'
