New York Sirens stock up in 1st round of PWHL draft by selecting Kaltounkova 1st and O'Brien 3rd
The New York Sirens began restocking their expansion-depleted roster by making a big splash at the top of the order in the first round of the PWHL draft on Tuesday night. HT Image Minutes after selecting Colgate forward Kristyna Kaltounkova with the No. 1 pick, Sirens general manager Pascal Daoust completed a trade with the Toronto Sceptres to acquire the No. 3 pick and choose Wisconsin center Casey O'Brien. Daoust traded top defenseman Ella Shelton to acquire Toronto's first and fourth-round pick, which was 27th overall. The two forwards fill a major offensive hole after New York lost two of their three leading scorers — Alex Carpenter and Jessie Eldridge — as well as starting goalie Corinne Schroeder to Seattle in the PWHL expansion draft and signing process earlier this month. Carpenter and Eldridge combined to score 20 of the Sirens league-low 71 goals last season. Kaltounkova and O'Brien join a lineup that is deep at defense and features Sarah Fillier, last year's No. 1 pick, who finished tied for the PWHL lead with 29 points. Kaltounkova is from the Czech Republic and became the first European-born player to go first in the PWHL draft. She is reunited with Sirens coach Greg Fargo, who coached her at Colgate. Kaltounkova leaves the Raiders after five seasons as the school's career-leading scorer with 111 goals and second with 223 points. O'Brien was this season's Patty Kazmaier award winner after leading the nation with 88 points for the NCAA-champion Badgers. In five seasons, the 23-year-old finished with 274 career points in 182 games to break the Wisconsin record held by four-time Olympian Hilary Knight. The Sirens picked first for the second straight year after once again finishing last in the standings. Two Clarkson defenseman went among the top four picks with the Boston Fleet choosing Haley Winn at No. 2, and Montreal drafting Nicole Gosling at No. 4. The Ottawa Charge were scheduled to pick fifth followed by the two-time defending champion Minnesota Frost. Vancouver won a random draw to have the seventh pick, with Seattle going eighth. The two expansion teams will then alternate the order in each successive round in the eight-team, six-round draft. In landing Shelton, a PWHL defender of the year finalist in 2024, the Sceptres improve a defense that already features Renata Fast. Fast and Shelton are teammates on Canada's national squad and both members of the 2022 gold medal-winning team at the Beijing Games. women's hockey: /hub/womens-hockey This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Amateurs Auckland City hold Boca Juniors to Club World Cup draw
Amateur side Auckland City earned the greatest result in the team's history with a 1-1 draw against Boca Juniors at the Club World Cup on Tuesday. HT Image The already-eliminated New Zealanders fought off the Argentine powerhouses, who entered the games with hopes of advancing if they won, although as Benfica beat Bayern Munich in the other Group C match, Boca would also have been ousted anyway. Auckland goalkeeper Nathan Garrow's own goal sent Boca ahead but Christian Gray equalised with a header in the second half to earn his team a remarkable point. After a weather delay, Boca kept pushing and racked up 40 shots but could not find a way past Garrow, who made up for his first half misfortune with several good saves. Auckland, who were crushed 10-0 by German giants Bayern in their first game and 6-0 by Benfica in the second, set up to defend with five at the back. Boca controlled the game but were slow in their build up and struggled to break down the New Zealanders' back-line, with 38-year-old veteran striker Edinson Cavani kept quiet. The minnows had the first chance of the game, with Regont Murati forcing a save from Agustin Marchesin from the edge of the box. Boca took the lead after 26 minutes when Lautaro Di Lollo's header from a corner hit the post and was palmed into his own net by Garrow. Boca twice came close to doubling their lead before the break, with Carlos Palacios whipping a shot from distance against the crossbar. Then, Miguel Merentiel's header hit the woodwork as well. Auckland, the only amateur side in the competition, scored their first goal of the tournament to level after 52 minutes. Defender Gray shook off his marker and headed home from Jerson Lagos' corner. The game was soon suspended because of a weather warning, the fifth at the tournament, and resumed around 50 minutes later. Boca fans have been some of the most fervent at the tournament and many refused to head inside despite repeated requests from the stadium announcer, preferring to chant in the stands during the storm delay. By the time the match restarted, without a drop of rain having fallen at Geodis Park, Benfica had beaten Bayern, leaving Boca no chance of progress to the knock-out rounds. Merentiel struck quickly for Boca but the goal was disallowed for a handball in the build-up. Garrow made a fine save from Malcom Braida's dipping header as Auckland tried to cling on for a point against one of the giants of world football. The goalkeeper pulled off another good stop from Kevin Zanon's curling effort from range as the clock ran down. Boca rained in shots as they desperately attempted to avoid an embarrassing draw but Garrow beat away a Palacios drive and the New Zealanders celebrated wildly as the final whistle blew. rbs/pb SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA - FUTEBOL This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

When the dealt to the last season, they acquired , Kyle Anderson, and the No. 20 overall pick in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft. But despite high hopes, Wiggins' stint in Miami hasn't exactly gone as planned. Limited to just 17 games due to injuries, Wiggins still managed to put up respectable numbers, averaging 19.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.0 steal per game. Yet, it appears his time with the franchise could be short-lived. According to NBA insider Brett Siegel, the Heat are actively shopping the 29-year-old forward ahead of the draft. 'Teams are wondering what is next with the Miami Heat after striking out on a Durant trade,' Siegel wrote in an article. 'Miami continues to make Andrew Wiggins available in trade talks and would be willing to part with the 20th pick in the NBA Draft for an upgrade alongside Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.' The trade chatter comes as the Heat look to reposition themselves in the Eastern Conference. After missing out on a chance to acquire Kevin Durant, Miami's front office—led by head coach Erik Spoelstra and general manager Andy Elisburg—may see more value in flipping their draft pick and Wiggins for a more durable or system-fitting piece. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Wiggins is currently in the third year of a four-year, $109 million contract he originally signed with Golden State in 2022. He holds a player option for the 2026–27 season, giving any potential trade partner two full seasons of control before free agency becomes a factor. Also Read: With the draft looming this Wednesday, Miami could be one of the more active teams looking to shake up its roster.
