Blackhawks Head Coach Jeff Blashill Officially Meets Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson
The Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bears have a lot in common right now. Each team has a loud, vibrant fan base, but there hasn't been much success on the playing surface in recent years. During those tough years, they have had some high-end draft selections, including a number one pick for each. Now, they are both entering a season with a fresh set of eyes in the coach's chair. For the Blackhawks, it's Jeff Blashill. For the Bears, it's Ben Johnson. On Thursday afternoon in Lake Forest, the two met for the first time at Halas Hall. It was interesting to see these two coaches meet for the first time. Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) on X Coach Blashill🤝Coach Johnson You can hear them exchange pleasantries, discuss their move to Chicago, and reminisce about how they were both in Detroit at the same time. Of course, Johnson was the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, which overlapped Blashill's tenure with the Detroit Red Wings for a little bit. Both men have a pedigree of winning in the recent past as assistant coaches, and now they are both hoping to get their organizations on the right track with number one draft picks leading the way. Chicago sports are a fabric of the city's culture, so fans always love seeing moments like this where they come together.

Why ice is power in North Texas
The world of youth sports has traditionally revolved around the athletes, their families and community non-profits. Volunteers, who see youth sports as a labor of love, drive many of the decisions. But that's not the case in northern Texas, where a National Hockey League team valued at $2 billion is calling the shots. The Dallas Stars shuts parents out and effectively controls the pathways by which young players advance to the highest ranks of the sport, according to a seven-month investigation by USA TODAY's Kenny Jacoby. 👋 USA TODAY Editor-in-Chief Caren Bohan here. Welcome to The Backstory, our newsletter exclusively for subscribers (that's you!). I'll be taking you behind the scenes of our breaking news coverage, scoops and unique storytelling. I also love to hear from our subscribers, so drop me a line at cbohan@ if you have something on your mind. NHL youth hockey team valued at $2 billion capitalizes local rinks Kenny Jacoby's reporting on the Dallas Stars National Hockey league team epitomizes the accountability journalism that is a pillar of USA TODAY's relationship with our readers, viewers and listeners. It was gratifying to see the response from so many readers who wrote in thank Jacoby for shedding light on the topic and giving voice to the frustrations of people who felt they had no say. "What caught my interest was that a for-profit National Hockey League team valued at $2 billion was so intimately involved in running the sport's youth levels," Jacoby says. "It sounded nothing like my experiences playing youth baseball, soccer, basketball and football in community leagues run by nonprofit organizations and volunteers. " Jacoby's story and related video brought responses from well over 100 readers. "The issue struck a nerve with parents not just in Texas, but across the country," Jacoby says. "Our Formstack callout alone generated nearly 80 responses from hockey parents in 19 states. Many expressed similar concerns about for-profit entities taking over rinks and leagues in their areas, strong-arming families into paying higher prices and using positions on nonprofit governing bodies to advance their financial interests. 🏒 Sound familiar? Share your experience with commercialization in youth sports with USA TODAY. These USA TODAY headlines caught my eye this week: When empty churches answer housing scarcity The number of Americans who belong to a church, synagogue or mosque has plummeted over the last few decades, dropping from 70% in 1999 to just 47% in 2020, according to a Gallup poll. The result is that houses of worship that were once anchors of the community are at risk of becoming vacant and falling into disrepair. As USA TODAY reporter Andrea Riquier writes, some house hunters are seeing an opportunity, viewing some of the vacant houses of worship as an opportunity to acquire their dream home. Riquier interviews homeowners such as Cristiana Peña and Nick Porter who decided they were "all-in" on embracing a non-traditional home and renovation costs in exchange for living in a beautiful, historic space. For anyone thinking of taking the leap, be forewarned: the process comes special challenges, including expensive rehab work and, in some case, complicated financing.

Hailey Bieber's Rhode skincare brand to launch in Sephora in September
A month after its $1 billion acquisition by E.l.f. Beauty, Hailey Bieber's skincare brand Rhode is heading to Sephora. Beginning September 4, the 3-year-old brand will be carried by all of the retailer's freestanding stores in the U.S. and Canada as well as on its website. Rhode's first permanent entry into brick-and-mortar comes on the heels of its explosive growth. The company doubled its consumer base over the past year, driving a total of $212 million in net sales in the 12 months that ended March 31. Rhode has had particular success on TikTok Shop, where it's sold more than 112,000 units of its hero products, including pocket blushes, lip tints, and a curated edit of skincare items designed to achieve what Bieber frequently describes as a 'glazed donut' look (moisturized and ultra-glossy). Sales were helped, in part, by Bieber's social presence. She has 55 million Instagram followers and more than 16 million followers on TikTok. Ingredients for success Though some newer celebrity brands have struggled in recent years, Rhode CEO Nick Vlahos credits his company's success to its responsible approach to launching new products, growing sustainably and maintaining good margins before expanding. Rhode regularly sells out of limited-drop products, and presold its lip glosses to Bieber's Instagram followers before they even launched. Vlahos, who joined Rhode in February after leading the Honest Company, said that entering brick-and-mortar retail was always part of the plan, especially as Rhode eyes international expansion. The brand will enter Sephora UK later in the fall, and E.l.f's international presence could help with further expansion and distribution globally. Vlahos also highlights how Sephora's digital prowess can help a digitally native brand like Rhode better market to customers in different areas. 'Sephora really has the ability from a targeting perspective to better geotarget within their respective marketplace,' he says. Priya Venkatesh, Sephora's global chief merchandiser, says Rhode's ingredient-focused approach to marketing could appeal to consumers who are looking to get into skincare but feel daunted by so many options. 'Rhode is a great invitation into beauty for anyone who's not feeling comfortable with the current complexity or who finds the category a bit intimidating,' she says. Venkatesh notes that Sephora saw 2 million unique searches for Rhode on its own site before the partnership was announced. As a result, the company decided to launch Rhode in all freestanding stores immediately, rather than doing a slow rollout. Sephora Shelf Life Key to the partnership is translating Rhode's minimalist aesthetic into physical stores. Rhode established its visual identity through striking and surprising ad campaigns that have gone viral on social media—from getting singer Tate McRae to model alongside life-size peptide-infused lip pencils to having Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson promote the brand's new face mist. This past year, these viral campaigns led to a 367% rise in earned media. Last year, Rhode brought its visual identity into pop-ups in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, and London. Fans of the brand lined up for hours to purchase products and re-create viral 'strawberry girl' or 'latte' makeup looks popularized by Bieber. Roughly a thousand customers lined up for the brand's New York pop-up, and some queued for more than seven hours in the London rain for that event. The pop-ups included design elements from the brand's packaging, like rounded corners, monochrome colors, and stark lighting. In a move from Glossier's Sephora playbook, Rhode designed custom shelving and displays—similar to the ones from its pop-ups—that will help the brand stand out in store. 'Customers can expect glossy grey buildouts with sleek, soft edges and mirror moments for content. It's what our community knows and expects from Rhode, now brought to life in a retail environment,' Bieber said in an emailed statement.
