Ruck leads Canada past Czechia 5-0 in preliminary-round game at Hlinka Gretzky Cup
Liam Ruck scored twice as Canada skated to a 5-0 win over Czechia on in the Hlinka Gretzky Cup. A Hockey Canada logo is shown on the jersey of a player with Canada's National Junior Team during a training camp practice in Calgary, Alta., Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh Liam Ruck scored twice as Canada skated to a 5-0 win over Czechia on Wednesday in the Hlinka Gretzky Cup. Ruck's second goal came in the midst of a four-goal outburst in the final nine minutes of play for Canada (3-0). 'We are playing great countries at this tournament, and obviously we would like to have some (goals) a little earlier in games, but we are expecting to play a similar type of game in the semifinals and medal game,' said head coach Mathieu Turcotte. 'We know those are going to be tight games and we will need to stick to our structure and stay patient, and find a way to close out games when it counts the most.' Beckham Edwards, Daxon Rudolph and Alessandro Di Iorio also found the back of net. Gavin Betts made 23 saves for the shutout victory. Frantisek Poletin stopped 30 shots in net for the host Czechs (1-2). It was the final game of the preliminary round for both teams in the under-18 men's hockey tournament. Canada will face the United States when the playoffs begin on Friday. '(The United States) is always a great team at any level, and they play fast,' Ruck said. 'We need to be ready to match that in the semifinals, and we have a good, deep team so we are ready for the challenge.' Earlier Wednesday, Switzerland beat Finland 4-3 in overtime, the United States routed Germany 8-1, and Sweden shut out Slovakia 7-0.

Sarah Nurse says PWHL Barbie can inspire next generation of female athletes
Sarah Nurse will start her first season with the still-unnamed Vancouver franchise in the Professional Women's Hockey League this fall — but she's already made her mark off the ice with a Barbie doll in her likeness. The Canadian forward, MVP at the 2022 Olympic women's hockey tournament, was one of two players featured in a recent collaboration between the PWHL, Tim Hortons and Mattel. Nurse and Montreal Victoire star Marie-Philip Poulin each have dolls dressed in PWHL gear, part of a project celebrating women's achievements in the sport. Nurse says it's a "big privilege" to show the younger generation that women can be professional hockey players. "There are so many women who are older than me, who never got the chance to play hockey or never had a hockey-playing Barbie doll to play with when they were younger," she said. "And so, I've really seen this Barbie be able to touch different generations of women." Nurse has been part of a Barbie project before — she and Poulin were featured five years ago as Olympic players in a Hockey Canada partnership with Tim Hortons and Mattel. That campaign recognized their influence in helping open doors for women in the sport. "They were such a huge success the first round, they had to bring them back again," Nurse said. This latest edition, she said, is an opportunity to show girls that playing professional hockey can be an actual, tangible goal. Nurse and Poulin first saw their dolls during a joint shoot for the Barbie campaign, "where even the Barbies had their own hair, makeup and wardrobe stylists." "I think it was really cool just to be in that environment. And then obviously to see these Barbies that are inspired by us is, it was really special," she said. The off-ice highlight comes ahead of a new chapter in her playing career. Nurse spent the league's first two seasons with the Toronto Sceptres before signing with Vancouver in June after being left unprotected in the expansion draft, as the league expands to eight clubs with new West Coast franchises in B.C. and Seattle. Nurse joins a roster that includes Olympic teammates Emerance Maschmeyer and Claire Thompson. PWHL Vancouver will open its inaugural season in November at the Pacific Coliseum. It's another landmark in a high-profile career that has seen Nurse become the first female cover athlete for EA Sports' NHL video game in 2023 and help negotiate the PWHL's first collective bargaining agreement.

SIMMONS: Trader Cliff Fletcher turns 90: Maple Leafs legend still going strong
Everywhere Doug Gilmour and Mats Sundin go, they are associated as members of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Associated for life. Article content Both of them were brought to Toronto by general manager Cliff Fletcher in one-sided deals accomplished by the most astounding big-name and big-game trader in hockey history. Article content Everywhere Lanny McDonald goes, everywhere his moustache is shown across Canada, he is associated with the Calgary Flames, the face of that franchise even though he played just 492 of his 1,111 National Hockey League games there. Article content Article content He was brought to Calgary in 1981, the second season after the club moved from Atlanta, in the deal that enabled Fletcher to begin the reshaping of the transferred franchise. Article content All this — and so much more — will be talked about, laughed about and toasted over as stories will be told on Fletcher's 90th birthday on Saturday with 18 family members and friends gathering for the weekend and longer in Laguna Beach, Calif. Article content 'Has anyone else worked 70 years in the NHL?' asked his son, Chuck Fletcher, who still works as a senior executive with the New Jersey Devils. 'My dad started with the Montreal Canadiens in 1955. He's been drawing an NHL paycheque ever since.' Article content Fletcher is on the current payroll of the Maple Leafs in a role of senior advisor, although he admits it's not much of a role anymore. Article content He has trouble walking and difficulty hearing these days, but no trouble watching hockey, talking hockey, or certainly retelling the stories of his own remarkable Hall of Fame career. Article content Article content 'His memory is incredible,' said Chuck, who has worked in the front office of six NHL teams. 'He can tell you everything. You do all the things that he's done and to have the ability to recall all it in such vivid detail, it's very impressive.' Article content Article content What's impressive is the list of accomplishments for his dad along the way. Trading is almost a lost art in today's salary-capped hockey world. But, when it wasn't, Fletcher was a veritable master of the big deal. Article content He stole Gilmour from Calgary just months after he had left the Flames for the Leafs. He all but stole Sundin for 13 Toronto seasons from Quebec in an emotional exchange for Wendel Clark and others in one of the most difficult trades he ever made. He stole McDonald from what was then the Colorado Rockies to begin the Flames footprint in Alberta. Article content He did a lot of stealing along the way. Article content But that wasn't all. In Calgary, he traded for Hall of Famer Joey Mullen and traded away the Hall of Famer Brett Hull. He traded for Grant Fuhr in Toronto and then dealt the Hall of Fame goalie to Buffalo for Hall of Fame winger Dave Andreychuk. He brought Tie Domi to the Leafs, traded for and traded away Larry Murphy, traded Mike Gartner for Glenn Anderson. Article content He drafted Hall of Fame players Al MacInnis, Joe Nieuwednyk, Mike Vernon, Hull and Sergei Makarov with the Flames, while also bringing borderline Hall players such as Gary Roberts, Gary Suter, Theo Fleury, Kent Nilsson and Paul Reinhart to the NHL. Article content The resume has just one Stanley Cup — the 1989 victory by the Flames — and that seems wrong. It should have more. At least one more from Calgary. And who knows what might have happened had the refereeing turned out differently in the 1993 Leafs playoff series against Los Angeles. Article content Article content But when Fletcher looks back now at so many exceptional deals, he does so with a certain pride and reverence. Article content 'For 2 1/2 years, Gilmour was the best player in the NHL … I thought we brought instant credibility back to the franchise at that time,' Fletcher said in a lengthy telephone interview. Article content 'Lanny gave our franchise credibility (in Calgary) when we had this all-time juggernaut just 180 miles down the road in Edmonton and had to establish something to compete. Article content Article content 'Quebec had Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg as its top two centres. Mats was the third centre on that team and they had just lost a playoff series to Montreal getting outmuscled pretty badly. They needed toughness. They needed someone like Wendel. I always thought the best way to make a trade sometimes was to figure out what your opponent needed to make their roster better and, if worked for both of you, terrific. Article content 'That happened with the Brett Hull trade. I said when we dealt him, that he would score 150 goals the next three seasons. Turned out I was wrong, I think he scored 160. But we wound up winning the Stanley Cup (with Rob Ramage). You never want to trade a player like that away, but that's my only championship and I'll take that deal any day of the week to get a Stanley Cup. Article content 'You know, I was able to trade Brett because we had Joey Mullen, a 50-goal scorer at right wing. We had Hakan Loob, a 50-goal scorer and we had Lanny, all on right wing.' Article content Of all the famous deals made, the one that rarely gets mentioned is a deal close to Fletcher's heart. Article content Article content 'I won't call it my biggest trade, but it might be the most significant,' Fletcher said. Article content In August of 1987, Fletcher acquired defenceman Brad McCrimmon from Philadelphia in exchange for a first- and third-round draft pick. That was before his famous 'Draft Shmaft' line in Toronto became famous. But the importance of the deal remains with Trader Cliff. Article content 'We gave up a lot for Brad McCrimmon, but he did so much for us. He was our leader in the dressing room. He was our leader on the ice and a very physical presence. He ran the room. In a way he ran our team. You can't underestimate what he meant to us. Article content 'The Flames team that won the Cup in '89 had six Hall of Fame players on it, but we were almost eliminated in the first round to Vancouver, who finished 40 points behind us. If Vernon doesn't make two career-like stops in overtime, we're gone — there is no Stanley Cup. After that, we go on to beat L.A. in four, Chicago in five before beating Montreal in six. That's how close it can be between winning and losing. Article content 'In 1986, things were different then. They didn't schedule days off between playoff series. We played St. Louis in the conference finals and went seven games with them, even though we shouldn't have. The final started right after Game 7. We ran out of gas by about Game 3. The way they schedule things today, with more time off, we might have won that year.' Article content That was the year they knocked out the dynastic Edmonton Oilers, interrupting what could have been a run of five straight Stanley Cups. Those were the Oilers of Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Fuhr and Paul Coffey. The Oilers they sometimes played 18 times a season. Article content 'You have to understand, we move from Atlanta, we're the nobodies trying to establish ourselves and there's this all-time juggernaut building just down the highway. It was an incredible challenge to build a team that could compete with them, let alone win. Article content 'I'm proud of what we accomplished in Calgary.' Article content The hockey in Alberta in the 80s may have been the greatest NHL hockey ever played. Article content Article content When Fletcher decided to leave the Flames, where he had begun as expansion general manager in Atlanta, after the 1991 season, he thought he would take a year off and enjoy Florida life. Article content Instead, he immediately was sought after by the two wealthiest teams in the NHL. Both the New York Rangers and Leafs offered him front-office control of their hockey operations. He listened to both pitches and he chose Toronto. Article content At the beginning of his second season with the Leafs, his first with full-time Gilmour, his first with Pat Burns coaching, the Blue Jays scored their first of two consecutive World Series victories. Article content 'Toronto was electric back then, sporting wise' said Fletcher, whose two children grew into adults in Toronto. (His daughter Kristy is the COO of the Juno Awards). 'What the Blue Jays did — we respected their operation so much — was incredible. Their excitement became part of our excitement.' Article content As Fletcher gets ready to celebrate his 90th birthday, he knows that Pat Gillick, the architect of those Blue Jays teams, has a birthday coming up in just a few days: 'He's just a few years behind me. I think he's turning 88.' Article content Article content When Fletcher came to Toronto, he got to know one of the board members of the Leafs — including a guy named Ted Rogers. Article content All these years later, Ted has long since passed and the Leafs are corporately owned by Ted's, son Edward. The board Ted was part of was tossed aside when Steve Stavro took ownership control of the Leafs. Article content And Fletcher, who had two different stints as GM, with Stavro and with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, has remained with the team through the past five general managers and, while he doesn't travel much anymore, he doesn't miss a game on television. Article content 'I know how seriously he takes this,' Chuck said. 'I've sat with him for a lot of those Leafs playoff games. And he's a diehard, He's all-in. And that Florida series last year, with all the highs and lows of that series, that was a tough one to get through.'
