NHL fans will get their own Brooke Henderson bobblehead at upcoming Ottawa Senators game
It wasn't the two majors or the record of winningest Canadian golfer – male or female – that solidified it for Brooke Henderson. It wasn't until Henderson took a look at her own bobblehead that she felt she'd crossed a certain threshold of fame.
"I feel like as an athlete, when you have your own bobblehead, you've kind of made it," she said with a laugh after unveiling mini Brooke.
#Sens fans, do we have a treat fore you! 🏌️♀️Join us Mar. 10 for our Women in Sport night to get your own @BrookeHenderson bobblehead 🙌 pic.twitter.com/Um1I8eZiV1

The Brooke Henderson bobblehead giveaway takes place March 10 at the Ottawa Senators home game against the Detroit Red Wings.
Henderson, 27, is a native of Smiths Falls, Ontario, and grew up playing goalie.
'I had a lot of pressure on me for a lot of the time to stop the puck when it really counted,' she once said of her formative years on the ice.

Last September, Henderson signed a multiyear sponsorship with the Senators. Henderson and her sister Brittany, who works as her caddie, wear the Senators colors at least once per tournament and Brooke's towel and water bottle feature the NHL team's logo.
A 13-time winner on the LPGA, Henderson won the 2015 Cambia Portland Classic after Monday-qualifying to earn LPGA membership.

Less stress, more swagger: QB Nathan Rourke aiming to have fun with new-look Lions
VANCOUVER - Nathan Rourke is trying to add a little something to his game this season — the B.C. Lions quarterback wants to have more fun. 'That's a little bit of a goal for myself, trying to play a little bit more loose and not take things so seriously. So, trying to have a little bit more fun out there,' he said. 'And when you try to have fun, you probably end up doing that and actually having fun.' Last season didn't go the way Rourke or the Lions expected. The Canadian QB wasn't on B.C.'s roster to start the campaign as he worked to land a permanent job in the NFL. He re-signed with the Lions — where he had a standout campaign in 2022 — in mid-August, but struggled in his return. B.C. finished with a 9-9 regular-season record. Vancouver hosted the Grey Cup, but hopes of a home-team win were quashed when the Saskatchewan Roughriders downed the Lions in the West semifinal. B.C. will kick off a new campaign on Saturday when they host a revamped Edmonton Elks side. With a full training camp behind him and new head coach Buck Pierce at the helm, the 27-year-old Rourke believes this year could be different. 'I feel good. Body feels good. I'm excited about Buck's offence,' he said. 'It's been fun to practice these last couple of days and in training camp. Guys are excited about it. So hopefully that excitement just continues and turns into points.' Pierce, a former CFL quarterback and longtime assistant coach with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, was named B.C.'s head coach and offensive coordinator in December, replacing Rick Campbell. The entire league has long envied the offence Pierce crafted for the Blue Bombers, said Lions defensive back Garry Peters. 'They've been our rivals for so long, so I've admired him from afar. For him to finally be on my side, I can just pick his brain and learn as much as I can about the way they did things over there. Because obviously they're a championship program,' he said. 'For him to bring that over here and instil that in us, it gets me excited and gives me hope that we can do special things this year.' Pierce helped the Bombers to five straight Grey Cup appearances, including wins in 2019 and 2021. Having him in charge has injected a new sense of confidence into the Lions' players, said receiver Keon Hatcher. 'I feel like, especially in the offensive, the skill positions, we're very excited about what he's bringing to the table as an offensive coordinator, as a head coach, calling the plays and stuff like that,' he said. 'I feel like he puts us in a great position to make plays. And I just can't say enough about how excited we are just to learn this offence and be able to go out there and put on a display during the season.' After nearly a month getting to know his team at training camp in Kamloops, B.C., Pierce believes what could set his team apart this season is their competitive spirit. 'Ever since training camp got here, they're pushing each other. I think when you look at the way they interact, the way they communicate, they're really doing a good job of talking to each other, putting themselves in positions to be successful,' the coach said. 'Everybody's talented at this level. And we have talented guys, just like everybody else. That's what I keep talking to them about — what are we willing to do that other teams aren't willing to do? If you want to be successful, you've got to put the work in. And I'm proud of this group because they're workers.' B.C. also made changes to its front office in December, elevating Ryan Rigmaiden from assistant general manager to general manager. He responded with a series of off-season moves, including dealing veteran QB Vernon Adams Jr. to the Calgary Stampeders, signing former Toronto Argonaut Dejon Allen to add size and toughness to the offensive line in free agency, and bringing running back James Butler back into the fold following two seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The current group is a good mix of young talent and veteran leaders, said Peters, who's heading into his 10th season with the Lions. 'Every year, everybody thinks their team is going to go to the Grey Cup. And it's no different this year for us,' he said. 'But just us going through the process and focusing more on the details, the details are the most important thing. So for me, seeing all the guys focusing more on the details, it just gets me excited for what's to come.' 2024 record: 9-9-0, third, West Division Did you know?: Rap icon and noted sports fan Snoop Dogg will perform before the Lions' season opener on Saturday. More than 50,000 fans are expected to take in the concert — and the game — at B.C. Place. Key additions: RB James Butler (Hamilton), OL Dejon Allen (Toronto), LB Micah Awe (Calgary), QB Jeremiah Masoli (Ottawa) Key losses: QB Vernon Adams Jr. (Calgary), WR Alexander Hollins (free agent), FB David Mackie (retired), RB William Stanback (Ottawa), LB Ryder Varga (Toronto) Players to watch: Rourke, Butler, DL Mathieu Betts, WR Justin McInnis This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025.

Inter Milan Prefer Denmark Man United Flop Over Canada Star
Inter Milan prefer a move for Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund over signing Jonathan David on a free transfer this summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInter1908. Advertisement One thing that seems very clear is that Inter Milan will sign at least one striker this summer. With Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa gone as their contracts expire, and the future of Mehdi Taremi uncertain, Inter must bolster the attacking depth. And the priority for the Nerazzurri in this sense is clear. They want to bring in a younger striker with room for growth rather than another veteran. Inter Milan Prefer Man United Striker Hojlund Over Jonathan David ISTANBUL, TURKEY – AUGUST 13: Jonathan David of Lille celebrates victory during the UEFA Champions League Third Qualifying Round match between Fenerbahce and Lille FC at Ulker Stadium on August 13, 2024 in Istanbul, Turkey. (Photo by) There are a few targets on Inter's radars as far as young strikers. One that has been clear for a while is Jonathan David. Inter's penchant for free transfer signings is hardly a secret. And the Canadian international will certainly be a major opportunity this summer. Advertisement However, reports the Gazzetta, Inter in fact prefer a move for Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United. The 22-year-old Denmark international had had a couple of underwhelming seasons at Old Trafford. However, the Nerazzurri still believe that Hojlund can come in and have a big impact based on his time at Atalanta.

Canada coach irate after Vancouver Whitecaps players stricken by illness in Mexico
TORONTO - Canada coach Jesse Marsch expressed outrage Friday that the Vancouver Whitecaps had been 'poisoned' during their visit to Mexico for the CONCACAF Champions Cup final. The Whitecaps issued a statement Thursday saying about half of the 75 people who returned to Vancouver on the team's charter plane after Sunday's game had reported symptoms of a gastrointestinal illness. Whitecaps players Ali Ahmed, Sam Adekugbe and Jayden Nelson missed training after arriving sick in the Canadian camp in Halifax ahead of Saturday's game at Toronto's BMO Field between Canada and Ukraine in the inaugural Canadian Shield tournament. 'They're better now,' Marsch said before speaking at a Canada Ukraine Foundation breakfast Friday. 'They're probably not ready for 90-minute performances (Saturday). But for me, it's appalling that this is the second year in a row that CONCACAF and the powers that be have allowed an MLS team to go down to Mexico for a big final and get poisoned. 'It's ridiculous. Something has to be done to protect these environments.' The Columbus Crew also complained of stomach illness after their loss at Mexico's CF Pachuca in last year's Champions Cup final. Coach Crew coach Wilfried Nancy confirmed afterwards that nearly the entire roster and coaching staff had been stricken by what the club believed to be food poisoning. Marsch acknowledged he had no proof of poisoning but added 'it's not random that two years in a row that this has happened.' 'If I were the Vancouver Whitecaps, if I was the Columbus Crew, if I was MLS, I would be angry. I would be absolutely angry that this had been allowed to happen,' he added. Marsch does have experience of being at the receiving end of dark arts while visiting Mexico with the U.S. or a club team, citing fire alarms in the middle of the night and dancing and singing outside their hotel. 'And those are somewhat spirited, competitive advantages that are created when you go down to Mexico,' he said. 'But poisoning the team is another version.' Marsch said his understanding was the Whitecaps were suffering from food poisoning, Vancouver arrived in Mexico City last Friday and were trounced 5-0 by Mexican powerhouse Cruz Azul in Sunday's final of CONCACAF's elite club competition 'Not only have we lost the game, also we have picked up some sort of a virus and are dealing with that right now,' Vancouver sporting director and CEO Axel Schuster told reporters Thursday. Schuster said it was 'unlikely' any of Vancouver's players experienced symptoms during the game. The Whitecaps cancelled a planned training session Wednesday and held a modified individual session Thursday for players who had been cleared by medical staff. The session was closed to media. The club said in a statement that it is working with local health authorities and an infectious disease expert regarding the illness. CONCACAF did not respond immediately to a request for comment. —- This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025
