CONCACAF clears Canada coach Marsch of any wrongdoing but fines Canada Soccer
CONCACAF has cleared Canada coach Jesse Marsch of any wrongdoing but fined Canada Soccer for incidents at Canada's opening Gold Cup game last week in Vancouver. Marsch missed the first two games of the tournament, serving a ban arising from being shown a red card in March at the CONCACAF Nations League third-place match. He watched Canada's 6-0 win over No. 75 Honduras on June 17 with other team officials from a suite in Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium. After the game, CONCACAF announced its Disciplinary Committee had initiated disciplinary proceedings into Marsch and Canada Soccer to see if they had "disregarded regulations applicable to suspended match officials and used offensive language toward CONCACAF match officials." Late Monday, CONCACAF handed down its ruling. The Disciplinary Committee fined Canada Soccer an undisclosed amount "for breaching security protocols for accredited delegation officials and for failing to comply with anti-doping procedures by not providing the required representative for the halftime doping control draw." "Additionally, the Disciplinary Committee found no clear evidence that Jesse Marsch disregarded the competition's rules regarding suspended match officials, therefore, he has been cleared of any wrongdoing," CONCACAF added. Marsch had sounded optimistic on the topic earlier Monday. "The dialogue has been positive," he said of CONCACAF. "And I think that more than anything, this has been a misunderstanding in some ways. I think we're all ready to move forward in a positive way." In its ruling, CONCACAF also threw out an olive branch to Canada Soccer saying it "recognizes the CSA's [Canada Soccer Association's] constructive engagement in the Disciplinary Committee's investigation."

Don Cherry, 91, signs off from Grapevine podcast for final time
Article content On the Panthers winning the Stanley Cup final: 'They were the better team. But there's no way I was going to go against Edmonton.' On the Leafs being seen as the second-best team because they took the Panthers seven games: 'You have to if they went seven games. But it looked awful that seventh game.' On whether Brad Marchand should have won the Conn Smythe trophy as the post-season MVP: 'I thought Marchand was pretty good. They should have given it to both of them. Marchand should have won it.' Though Cherry had his detractors, many would say that Hockey Night In Canada has never been the same since his departure, a broadcast that has lacked a strong identity through a number of personnel changes. The other side of the debate, of course, is that it was time for Cherry to go and the controversial comment was the final straw for the Rogers executives who sent him packing. Though the podcast had its followers, obviously it had nowhere near the impact of Cherry's words delivered from the Hockey Night In Canada pulpit, must-see viewing for hockey fans every Saturday night for decades. It's undeniable, then, that the fact Cherry will no longer utilize a forum for his thoughts on the hockey world will mark the end of one of the longest and most successful runs in Canadian sports broadcasting.
