Proud Mom Moment: Hillary Trocheck Calls Herself ‘Proud Mom' As Will Cuylle Renews Contract With New York Rangers
Hillary Trocheck, wife of Vincent Trocheck might not really be mother to Will Cuylle but she's the mother who stepped up. As a rookie Will Cuylle lived with Vincent and his family rather than living in an apartment.
No wonder their bond is this strong. And to their delight, the Rangers signed a 2 year contract with Cuylle worth 7.8 million dollars this week.
No One Could Be More Prouder Than The Trochecks
Hillary took to Instagram and re-shared the New York Rangers' post and added a little heartfelt message 'Proud of my son!!!! Proud mom'.
Back when Will Cuylle was a rookie, he was living out of a hotel in White Plains because he had no idea if he'd make the team. But when Vincent Trocheck got wind of his living situation he quickly stepped up.
This made Trocheck reminisce about his own rookie year with the Florida Panthers. Knowing how tough his rookie year was, he wanted to make sure Cuylle doesn't feel alone. Thus opening the doors to his house and asking him to move in with his family in Harrison, New York.
'He was like, 'If you'd rather stay here it's up to you. You're welcome to stay here,'' Cuylle said. 'He's an easy guy to get along with, great family.' Trocheck mentioned that Cuylle is loved by his kids and wife and has become a part of the family.

So What Does The Future Hold For Will Cuylle?
The new contract for Cuylle comes with a $3.9 million average annual value—a short-term bridge deal as the team and player weigh future long-term options.
And as of previous season, Cuylle finished the 2024-25 campaign with a six-point run in the last five regular-season contests.
And as the NHL fans state Will Cuylle is one of the promising players out there, they find the contract duration to be inadequate citing, he would be quite expensive after next two years. 'The Rangers should have signed him up for 8 years as they did have resources for it,' a fan stated.

Golf's new kids are City's pride
Bengaluru: At Pinehurst, the cradle of American golf, two young girls from Bengaluru covered themselves in the spotlight. Nine-year-old Vedika Bhansali rolled in her final putt to seal a one-shot win in the Girls 9 category, becoming the first Indian to lift a trophy at the US Kids World Championship. Vedika shot a final round four-under 32 to clinch a thrilling one-shot victory — a dream she first envisioned after watching The Short Game, a documentary film on the very event she has now conquered. A few fairways away, 11-year-old Aida Thimmaiah was scripting a gritty comeback. After a shaky opening round left her in 27th place, she charged back with a four-under on Day 2, climbing to sixth place. She then produced the best score of the final round to finish third in the Girls 11 category.

Both started swinging junior clubs during the Covid-19 lockdown, when closed classrooms left them with time enough to explore a sport that would soon take over their young lives. For Vedika, golf was love at first swing. Encouraged by her family, she spent her lockdown days on the field behind her house, hitting balls. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Slipi: New Container Houses – Take A Look At The Prices! Container homes | Search ads Learn More Undo For Aida, coming from a family steeped in sport, golf was a more calculated choice. Now their days are a blend of dawn-to-dusk practice at the KGA, fitness training, and of course studies! Vedika's weapon is her composure; Aida's is her power off the tee. At Pinehurst, they made a point: Indian junior golf is looking at podiums. Vedika Bubbly by nature and calm and composed on the course - golf wasn't always the obvious path for Vedika. Her parents believed in exposing their child to everything — music, martial arts, swimming, cycling, gymnastics, horse riding, tennis and golf. Over time, she gravitated towards two individual sports — tennis and golf. During the pandemic, fate tipped the scales: living near an empty cricket field, she spent hours hitting balls. With KGA offering her a student membership, golf became her focus. Her first tournament in 2021, aged five, saw her finish second. The youngster slowly made her mark, winning several IGU South Zone and local tournaments. At Pinehurst, she finished in the top five twice before finally breaking through in her third attempt. "I couldn't believe it, but I didn't show any emotion," she said with a wide grin. "It's like in the movie 83 — the thought that I could be the first to win something for my country is phenomenal," she said. Vedika follows a disciplined routine: 5 am stretching and putting practice, school till noon, fitness training, and sessions at KGA, followed by reading in the evening. An avid reader, her bookshelf ranges from Harry Potter to Sherlock Holmes, and she listens to audiobooks like Sapiens and The Mahabharata while stuck in Bengaluru's infamous traffic. Self-described as an instinctive player, she thrives under pressure. She looks up to Nelly Korda and India's own Aditi Ashok, often practicing with the latter. "Aditi is very fond of me! She gives me a lot of tips and inspires me," said Vedika. When the historic win came, her mother — Chandni's disbelief was telling: "No, you're lying," she said when Vedika called with the news. The celebration? A pack of 200 sketch pens! As for the future, Vedika has goals. "I want to do amazing things," she said. Aida Aida's journey to Pinehurst began far from American fairways. She moved to Bengaluru from Mysuru three years ago to train at KGA. Golf was a strategic choice. Her father, Den Thimmaiah, is a national rally champion; her uncle, Len Aiyappa, an Olympian hockey player; and her mother Sanjana Thimmaiah a former state-level swimmer. After much research, and even genetic testing, her parents decided golf was the long-term path. She first picked up a club at two but only took to the sport seriously at seven—later than many peers. The lockdown proved to be the turning point. She trains six to seven hours daily and studies privately to accommodate a schedule packed with national and international tournaments. Her game is built on power — helped by her height — though she admits her short game needs sharpening. "I want to be world No. 1 and win the Olympic gold. It will happen. I'll do whatever it takes," said Aida, who has won several IGU South Zone and national (U-13 category) tournaments. Off the course Aida is still very much an 11-year-old—into cooking and go-karting. She loves biryani, ramen, and ice cream. She counts Aditi as a mentor and idolizes Nelly and Tiger Woods. Pressure, she adds, is part of the job. "Every day is different in golf. I've learnt to play fearlessly," she said. That mindset turned her Pinehurst campaign around. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

NHL Trade Rumors: Connor McDavid linked to Maple Leafs and $3.5B Rangers if Oilers extension talks stall
Speculation around Connor McDavid 's contract status has ignited the rumour mill — and not just in Edmonton. With the superstar approaching the final season of his current deal, insiders say a late stalemate on an extension could push conversations about a blockbuster trade into overdrive. That possibility would instantly make the Maple Leafs, Rangers, Kings and other big markets central figures in the drama. What Frank Seravalli said and why it matters to the market On the "BR" podcast, Seravalli downplayed imminent panic but flagged a clear trigger for movement: 'He's not going anywhere. I think there's a very small chance, maybe very small is overstating it. I think there's a small chance that we get to a month from now and the camp's about to open and McDavid still doesn't have a deal done. That's when the conversation begins to percolate a lot more.' That line is important — it shifts the timeline from routine negotiation to a pressure window where teams weigh whether to buy now (via an extension) or acquire elite production via trade. Why big-market teams are logical landing spots and what they'd need to offer Big-market franchises bring something beyond salary-cap math: revenue, media reach and the irresistible marketing platform for a player like McDavid. The New York Rangers — valued at $3.5 billion by Forbes — and the Toronto Maple Leafs are obvious fits because they can absorb superstar money and amplify a player's brand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doi 1: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo But a trade for a generational center would demand an unprecedented package: top prospects, multiple first-round picks, and young roster pieces capable of immediate impact. For Edmonton, the calculus is brutal — keep your face of the franchise or accept a haul that rebuilds around future depth. The smart play for Edmonton and the timeline to watch The Oilers appear measured in negotiations, and reports suggest both sides are calm. If talks truly stall heading into training camp, pressure to protect McDavid's value will rise. For fans and front offices alike, the critical window is the next four to six weeks: that's when leverage, public sentiment and market offers could all converge. Even if a trade never materializes, these scenarios reveal the evolving economics of the NHL: elite talent increasingly shifts the balance of power toward big markets that can marry on-ice success with global branding.
