Jesse Marsch, Canada Soccer face discipline from CONCACAF for Gold Cup actions
Canadian men's soccer coach Jesse Marsch is in trouble with CONCACAF again.
The soccer authority for North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football has started disciplinary proceedings against Canada Soccer and Marsch "for incidents that occurred" during Canada's Gold Cup match against Honduras on Tuesday, CONCACAF said Wednesday in a statement.
Marsch wasn't on the pitch for Canada's 6-0 win over Honduras at Vancouver's B.C. Place because he was serving the first of a two-match suspension.
"The Disciplinary Committee will review all available evidence, including official reports detailing that the CSA and its head coach disregarded regulations applicable to suspended match officials and used offensive language toward CONCACAF match officials," the statement said.
Marsch was ejected from a third-place game against the United States on March 23 in the CONCACAF Nations League.
In addition to the automatic one-game suspension, Canada's coach was docked another game "for unacceptable conduct towards the match officials and for delaying the restart of the match by refusing to leave the field of play."
The disciplinary committee warned Canada Soccer and Marsch at that time "that more severe sanctions could be taken should incidents occur during future matches."

Stanley Cup is no stranger to damage or rough and tumble adventures
The Florida Panthers are hardly the first team to play rough with the Stanley Cup. Article content A team fights that long and that hard to win it, you deserve a chance to celebrate and though it's made of malleable material (a silver-nickel alloy that can usually be re-shaped) its custodians prefer it be returned in one piece. Article content Article content Donated by Lord Stanley of Preston in 1888, some of our favourite tales of when the Cup was runneth over: Article content Article content The 6,400 kilometres the Dawson City Nuggets travelled from the Yukon to Ottawa to challenge for the title in January of 1905 was Cup-worthy in itself, though the Ottawa Silver Seven blew out the weary travelers in a best-of-three series. Article content After a 23-2 one-sided clincher, the gracious Seven held a banquet for the visitors, with the victorious Bytowners later staggering into the street with their prize. Bets were placed whether one of them could boot the bowl across the Rideau Canal — thankfully frozen over at that time of year — but when it only landed halfway, none of the merrymakers thought to retrieve it. Article content Next morning, a player was grateful to find it still there. Article content Article content In 1924, the Cup was abandoned again. Article content The winning Montreal Canadiens went off to owner Leo Dandurand's home, but the car carrying the trophy had a flat tire. After getting out to fix it, they forgot they had put the trophy at the side of the road. Article content Twice the Cup has been allegedly burned, once when the 1940 champion New York Rangers ceremoniously set fire to the paid-off mortgage of original Madison Square Garden and during one of Toronto's championships in the '60s during a team bonfire party. Article content THE TOOTH HURTS Article content Article content It has been established that the bowl can hold 14 bottles of beer. Article content But in 1957, Habs legend Maurice 'Rocket' Richard chipped both of his front teeth while taking an enthusiastic swig. Article content Other players have been at a loss for words when asked to describe the taste of beer, champagne and alloy after it's constantly refilled. Article content A Montreal fan didn't take it well when his team failed to win the Cup in 1962. Article content As it sat in a glass case in the lobby of old Chicago Stadium during the '62 playoffs, won the previous year by the Blackhawks, Ken Kilander deftly opened the door, put the Cup on his shoulder and was marching out when arrested. Article content He later told the judge: 'Your Honour, I was simply bringing the Cup back to Montreal where it belongs.'

Senators resign Zetterlund to new 3 year contract
Fabian Zetterlund will be spending three more seasons in Ottawa. The Senators announced the club signed the restricted free agent to a three-year, $12.8 million contract extension on Thursday. The 25-year-old Zetterlund was acquired by the Senators from the San Jose Sharks in March. The deal saw the Senators also acquire Tristen Robins and a 2025 fifth round pick from San Jose in exchange for Noah Gregor, Zack Ostapchuk and a 2025 second round pick. 'We were pleased to acquire Fabian at the deadline last season and very happy to extend him for three more years,' Steve Staios, Senators president of hockey operations and general manager, said in a statement. 'He brings commitment and work ethic with a scoring touch to our group.' Zetterlund had two goals and three assists in 20 games with the Senators, and had 17 goals and 19 assists in 64 games with San Jose this past season. Zetterlund will be the fifth-highest paid forward on the Senators roster for the 2025-26 season. Tim Stutzle is scheduled to earn $8.35 million next season while Brady Tkachuk will earn $8.2 million, Dylan Cozens will earn $7.1 million, and Drake Batherson will earn $4.975 million. This is the second signing of a restricted free agent by the Senators this off-season. Earlier this month, the Sens signed Tyler Kleven to a two-year contract extension worth $1.6 million a year. Kleven had four goals and six assists this past season.
