Auston Matthews touches on Mitch Marner's departure, looks ahead to Maple Leafs season
Life goes on. Article content That's how Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews is taking stock of the team's future without Mitch Marner, whose next game in Toronto won't be for another five months, when the Vegas Golden Knights visit Scotiabank Arena on Jan. 23. Article content Article content 'We'll miss him,' Matthews said on Wednesday night at the CAA Centre in Brampton. 'He's a great friend, great teammate. That's kind of the business side of it that's tough, but obviously I wish him nothing but the best. We'll just keep it moving.' Article content Matthews missed 15 games during the 2024-25 regular season with an undisclosed injury and when the playoffs were done, he acknowledged it was a physically tough year, but that he would be 100% for the start of the 2025-26 season. He said on Wednesday that his health was 'good.' Article content In his first media availability since the Leafs had exit interviews at the end of May following a second-round loss to the Florida Panthers, Matthews spoke before taking part in Hockey Night in Brampton, an annual charity game held to raise funds for a second hospital in the city. Ground was broken this past spring. Article content Two years ago, John Tavares was the marquee Leafs attraction; last year, Marner, dealt to Vegas in a sign-and-trade at the end of June, and Max Domi took part in the game, hosted each August by Brampton mayor Patrick Brown. Article content Among those playing on Wednesday night were Leafs defenceman Chris Tanev, Owen Power of the Buffalo Sabres and Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals, former Leafs Gary Roberts, Owen Nolan, Curtis Joseph and Mark Giordano and Toronto Sceptres captain Blayre Turnbull. Article content Article content 'It's special just to give back to the community, coming here, you're meeting so many NHL alumni, different guys from all over the place. It's cool to do it for a good cause and have some fun too.' Article content There's no replacing Marner, of course, but Leafs general manager Brad Treliving has done what he can to re-shape the forward group, adding Matias Maccelli, Nicholas Roy, Dakota Joshua and Michael Pezzetta. More moves are possible, with David Kampf and/or Calle Jarnkrok potentially being traded. Article content 'Feeling good (about next season),' Matthews said. 'A lot of changes, but excited about the guys we brought in, excited about the guys that we have. I know we have a great team and great group of guys in the locker room. Article content 'Looking forward to getting started. Guys are going to have to take some steps, but I think that's a good thing, a good problem to have.' Article content At the top of the group of players who can go to another level: Winger Matthew Knies, coming off a 29-goal season. The 22-year-old's summer will come to an early end next week when he will join Matthews at USA Hockey's Olympic orientation camp in Plymouth, Mich.

Rash of QB injuries leads Alouettes to start James Morgan vs. Blue Bombers
(Photo credit: Eric Bolte-Imagn Images) James Morgan will receive the opportunity he has been craving when the Montreal Alouettes host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night. Morgan will become the fourth different quarterback to start for the Alouettes (5-5) this season. It will also be his first CFL start and only his third since finishing his college career in 2019. 'This is an opportunity,' said Morgan, a fourth-round pick by the NFL's New York Jets in 2020. 'You do everything you can to take advantage of the opportunity. ... I wish it were under different circumstances, but it's something you have to always be ready for.' Initial starter Davis Alexander (hamstring) and veteran McLeod Bethel-Thompson (right elbow) are both on the six-game injured list. Last week, Caleb Evans made his first start and sustained a torn ACL in his right knee during a 36-18 road loss to the BC Lions, giving the 28-year-old Morgan his long-awaited chance. Alouettes coach Jason Maas is embracing the situation of starting four different starting in one season. 'It doesn't happen very often but we welcome the challenge,' Maas said. '... I felt terrible after the game for Caleb, so James is going to lead the charge.' Morgan played two college seasons at Bowling Green (2015-17) and two at Florida International (2018-19). The only time he has started a game since college came for the Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL in 2023. He started two games and played in three overall and passed for 210 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions. This is Morgan's second season with the Alouettes. He passed for 211 yards, one touchdown and one interception after replacing Evans last week. The Blue Bombers (5-4) insist they won't be taking Morgan lightly. 'We don't know much about him. He hasn't gotten a lot of snaps in these last two years,' Winnipeg veteran defensive end Willie Jefferson told reporters. 'He played in the preseason games the last couple of years for Montreal but hasn't gotten any real snaps before last week. We've got to try and get in his face and make it hard for him.' Winnipeg is coming off a 30-27 victory over the visiting Ottawa Redblacks. Sergio Castillo nailed a 47-yard field goal as time expired to win it. The Blue Bombers, who have played in the last five Grey Cups, are hoping they are about to go on a roll. 'We're a resilient group. We've been through a lot, lots of highs and lows with some tight games,' said Winnipeg receiver Nic Demski, who had six catches for 128 yards against Ottawa. 'We're finding ways to turn this thing around.'
