Washington Capitals' Spencer Carbery wins Jack Adams Award as NHL's best coach
Spencer Carbery, who led the Washington Capitals to the highest points total in the Eastern Conference while navigating Alex Ovechkin's pursuit of the all-time goals record, has won the Jack Adams Award for the 2024-25 season, the NHL announced Saturday. The award, which goes to 'the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success,' is voted upon by the NHL Broadcasters' Association. Scott Arniel of the Winnipeg Jets and Martin St. Louis of the Montreal Canadiens were the other two finalists. Spencer Carbery got quite the surprise from his family after winning the Jack Adams Award. 🥹 Watch the #NHLAwards on June 12 at 6p ET on @NHL_On_TNT and @Sportsnet before Game 4 of the #StanleyCup Final! — NHL (@NHL) June 7, 2025 Washington went 51-22-9 with 111 points and eliminated St. Louis' Canadiens in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Carolina Hurricanes, in turn, knocked out Washington in the second round. While the timing of his team's exit was something of a disappointment, Carbery's second season on the job was an unquestioned success — as was his first, when he took a roster that scored the fifth-fewest goals in the NHL and helped coax it into the postseason despite a minus-37 goal differential. Advertisement In 2024-25, the situation was a bit different. The Capitals added brand-name players like Pierre-Luc Dubois, Jakob Chychrun and Andrew Mangiapane while gearing up for Ovechkin's record chase to enter its final stages. Carbery got the best out of the additions; effectively folded in younger players like Aliaksei Protas and Connor McMichael; and, of course, found a way to optimize Ovechkin. That was no simple task: Ovechkin, even in his twilight, is a remarkable goal-scorer, but accounting for his age and limitations at five-on-five would seem a challenge. Carbery threaded that needle on the ice while also handling the drama, chaos and pageantry that mounted as Ovechkin closed in on Wayne Gretzky's record 895 career goals. Making sure that the chase came in a winning environment was an organizational priority, and Carbery played a huge part in bringing that to pass. 'For us, especially as coaches, we go to the hundreds and hundreds of hours that we've been trying to figure out ways to get him the next goal. And that's behind the scenes — that's frustration, that's happiness, that's long hours of like, 'Oh my gosh, we've got to figure this power play out,' Carbery said after Ovechkin broke the record on April 6. 'So there's just so much behind the scenes that goes into this game and trying to help set players and your team up for success. So as a staff, when this happens and you've been working 80-hour weeks for the last two years to try to help get the next goal, it's a pretty special moment for us to celebrate. Obviously, it's an individual achievement, but for us to help him get there and see it actually come to fruition, you can't describe the feeling of when that puck goes in. And I will tell this story for the rest of my life, standing on the bench.' Carbery, 43, is the youngest coach to win the award since Dan Bylsma, then 41, with the 2010-11 Pittsburgh Penguins. He coached Washington's AHL affiliate in Hershey, Pa., for three seasons (2018-21) before working on Sheldon Keefe's staff with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2021-23. Carbery took over as the Capitals' head coach ahead of the 2023-24 season, replacing Peter Laviolette.

Boxing returns to Fenway Park after 70 years, with hopes to revitalize the sport in Boston
BOSTON (AP) — For the first time in nearly 70 years, boxing is returning to Boston's famed Fenway Park. The 11-fight card is the culmination of years of effort by twin brothers and longtime public schoolteachers who grew up in Watertown and want to revitalize boxing in the city that was home to some of the greatest athletes in the sport's history. Advertisement It's also symbolic of a shift back to the roots of the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, to when it wasn't just used for Red Sox games but for other sports and political events. 'Most people's experience there is solely related to baseball,' said Richard Johnson, Fenway expert and curator at The Sports Museum in Boston. 'But the fact is that this year, you can see an event that'll be very similar to what your grandparents saw.' Promoters Mark and Matt Nolan want 'Fight Night at Fenway,' scheduled for Saturday, to be both a time capsule and time machine, taking spectators back to boxing's glory days and what the sport can be for the city in the future. The Nolans got their license to organize fights last year with the goal of bringing boxing back to Boston. After Fenway, 'That's mission accomplished,' Matt Nolan said. Advertisement 'It's not just like our dream, it's everybody's dream — every boxer on planet Earth,' he said. 'Just the idea that some kid can fight his way to Fenway Park. It's like hitting the lottery. You can't you can't beat it. There's nothing comparable.' A rich history Boston has played a long and impressive role in American boxing history and the development of the sport itself, said Johnson, author of 'Field of Our Fathers, An Illustrated History of Fenway Park.' The city was home to 'Boston's Strong Boy,' John L. Sullivan, born in 1858 to Irish immigrant parents and widely considered America's first sports superstar. The first heavyweight champion of the world, he was as famous as Muhammad Ali was in his time. Advertisement Sam Langford, a Black Canadian-born boxer, moved to Boston as a teenager but was blocked from competing in the world championships by racist policies and is considered one of the greatest non-champions in boxing. Other boxing stars with Boston connections include Marvin Hagler and Rocky Marciano of nearby Brockton. 'The Boston Bomber' Tony DeMarco, whose statue raises his fists at passersby in Boston's North End, was the last fighter to win in the ring at Fenway in 1956. For a time after it was built, Fenway Park was the only outdoor venue with a significant seating capacity in Boston, making it a destination for all kinds of events, including boxing starting in 1920. After new owners took over in 2002, the park became a venue for concerts and sporting events like hockey, snowboarding, Irish football and curling. Advertisement 'Back in the day, it was sort of the Swiss Army knife of sports facilities in Boston. And it's returned to that — a little bit of everything. So, returning boxing to the park is just a nod to the past,' Johnson said. Other venues can feel 'more corporate and sterile,' but Fenway is living history, said Johnson, who calls it the 'largest open-air museum in New England.' A different pitch Mark Nolan said it's not for lack of trying that no one has hosted a boxing fight at Fenway in almost 70 years. But many promoters couldn't make a pitch that landed with ballpark management. The Nolans, who teach full time and own a boxing gym in Waltham where people can train regardless of their ability to pay, were different. After success hosting events at other venues, Mark Nolan said Fenway Sports Group connected to their 'everyman' appeal and decided to give them a shot. Advertisement The brothers fell in love with boxing while accompanying their father, a boat captain, to the gym as kids. When they expanded from coaching amateur boxers to professionals five years ago, they were dismayed by what they found: shows full of uneven fights set up to make the promoters as much money as possible, with established amateurs fighting people who 'have no right putting gloves on in any capacity whatsoever' in venues like high school gymnasiums. Fighters weren't being paid fairly and contracts weren't transparent. They came up with a simple business plan: pick good venues, pay fighters well and only host matches in Boston proper. They said a lot of promoters sell fighters, but they're focused on selling fights fans want to see. 'They're making sure that every fight is well-matched,' said Thomas 'The Kid' O'Toole, a fighter from rural Galway, Ireland, who has lived in Boston for the past two years, 'Nobody wants to see someone go in and just knock their opponent out right away and beat them up for four, six, eight rounds. They want to see a competitive fight.' Advertisement O'Toole went professional in 2021 and is undefeated with 13 fights. He said his fight against St. Louis-born Vaughn 'Da Animal' Alexander at Fenway will be 'the biggest test of his career.' Massachusetts-born Lexi 'Lil Savage' Bolduc will compete in her fourth professional fight. She faces Sarah Couillard in a rematch after coming out on the losing end of a majority draw at the Royale. 'Fighting at Fenway, I think adds a little bit of pressure because I'm local, I grew up in Mass and idolized a lot of players as I was growing up. ... But at the same time, I'm trying to use it just as a huge opportunity and really soak in the moment,' she said. "Pressure makes diamonds. 'To be able to kind of stand on that same ground of some of the most accomplished athletes, it's really remarkable,' she said.

WNBA Announces Big Mystics News After Fever Game
WNBA Announces Big Mystics News After Fever Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever finally got a win on Tuesday night. After losing three in a row, the Caitlin Clark-less Fever secured an 85-76 victory against the Washington Mystics to improve to 3-4 in the season. Advertisement It was Kelsey Mitchell who led the charge for Indiana with a game-high 24 points, two rebounds, three assists, two steals and four triples in 32 minutes of action. The Mystics, on the other hand, got strong performances from their rookies, Kiki Iriafen (20 points, nine rebounds) and Sonia Citron (13 points, seven boards), but it still wasn't enough to carry Washington to victory. It was a noteworthy effort from the Mystics' rookies, though, which prompted an announcement from the WNBA shortly after the final buzzer. Following their strong performances against Indiana, Iriafen and Citron have now scored in double digits in their first eight WNBA games. "This rookie duo isn't lettin' up🔥Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron become the first rookies since A'ja Wilson (2018) to open their careers with 8+ straight double-digit scoring games," the league posted on Instagram. Advertisement View the original article to see embedded media. The fact that Iriafen and Citron have been mentioned in the same breath as three-time league MVP A'ja Wilson — by the WNBA, no less — is an incredible feat in itself. Wilson has reached unprecedented heights since winning Rookie of the Year in 2018, and it appears that both Iriafen and Citron are blazing a similar path. The Washington rookies have been very impressive so far this season. Entering Tuesday's contest against the Fever, Iriafen, the No. 4 overall pick of the 2025 WNBA Draft has averaged 13.9 points and 10.1 rebounds in 28.4 minutes of action.
