Golfer who ‘got dropped like a bucket of balls' in fight with ex-NHLer Nick Tarnasky apologizes
As he's warned to back down and told he's not scaring anybody, Ogilvie throws his sunglasses to the ground and starts acting aggressively, shouting 'Let's go f—ing go, man.'

'Buddy, you don't want to go at me,' Tarnasky can be heard warning him.

Moments later, Ogilvie lunges at the much bigger and taller Tarnasky, who uses the aggressor's momentum to manhandle him into the nearby aforementioned water hazard.
Article content
Ogilvie quickly climbs from the water and goes back at Tarnasky only to be served two meaty right hands by the former pro who had 297 penalty minutes in his five NHL seasons, which included heavyweight tilts against the likes of Aaron Asham, Zenon Konopka, Milan Lucic, Chris Neil and Colton Orr, among several others. (He racked up another 1,054 minutes in 522 AHL and KHL games.)

Each landed fist is accentuated by Tarnasky shouting 'Bang!'

An undeterred Ogilvie, however, climbs to his feet and is delivered another three punches, each with their own 'Bang,' before being pushed to the ground.

'Enough. Get out,' Tarnasky screams as Ogilvie staggers toward him again, only to be rag-dolled onto the grass.

As Tarnasky's group again urge the tandem to leave, Ogilvie gathers his belongings and stumbles forward looking for a handshake. An incensed Tarnasky wants none of it and pushes him to the ground again.

Then, after Ogilvie starts putting his clubs in someone else's cart and is pushed away, he appears to briefly brandish the club as a weapon. The camera cuts away as Tarnasky and the others continue to yell at Ogilvie and the unidentified man to leave, which they soon do.
Article content
Ogilvie's latest post, while contrite, came without a direct apology to Tarnasky.
Article content
'All jokes aside, guys, I'd like to apologize to all the folks on the course, anyone caught up in it and anyone who had to deal with me that day. I lost my cool, and I've learned from it. It's just one of those days where you should have kept the cart on the path, ya know.

'Stay hydrated. Keep your stick on the ice. Maybe stick to 18.'

Tarnasky, meanwhile, is set to break his silence on the slow-play fisticuffs in the next episode of the popular Spittin' Chiclets hockey podcast — he chatted with co-host and retired NHLer Paul Bisonnette for an episode set to air on Tuesday.
Article content
Just interviewed Nick Tarnasky. What a guy. Just a humble man from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. He wanted to clear the air about the golf situation that's taken over the internet. Excited for everyone to hear it. We spoke about his entire career including his time in the KHL.… pic.twitter.com/svtbiTLD4t

Reena Virk's killer has day parole revoked over positive drug tests
Social Sharing Canada's parole board has revoked day parole for the woman who killed 14-year-old Reena Virk, following a series of positive drug tests and behaviours the board said represent "an undue risk to society." According to parole documents, Kerry Sim — who was known as Kelly Ellard in 1997 when she killed Virk — first saw her limited release into the community suspended last January when she tested positive for methamphetamine following months of "negative and con-compliant" behaviour. Although she denied using drugs — blaming prescribed medication for what she claimed were false positives — Sim again tested positive for non-prescribed medication in prison in April and later admitted that she "had taken another offender's medication." In a decision issued last month, the Parole Board of Canada told Sim "you present with an anti-social or delinquent value system, that you have an unwillingness to accept responsibility for your own actions and your rebelliousness puts you at a high risk for future delinquent behaviour." "Your behaviour in the community prior to your suspension is inconsistent with what is minimally required or expected on an earned release," the decision says. "You disregarded minimum supervision expectations and when this was addressed with you, you became hostile, argumentative, antagonizing, lacked accountability and deflected blame." 'Antagonizing, threatening and insulting' Sim is serving a life sentence for second-degree murder in the 1997 killing. The decision describes a 42-year-old struggling with children, single-parenting, substance abuse — and the consequences of her actions. The impact of Virk's murder continues to reverberate years after Sim and Warren Glowatski followed the teenager across the Craigflower Bridge and dragged her into Victoria's Gorge waterway following a savage beating by a swarm of teens Virk thought were friends. The case has inspired books, plays, podcast episodes and a recent Hulu true-crime TV series — starring Oscar-nominee Lily Gladstone — based on the 2005 non-fiction book of the same name, Under the Bridge. Sim — who has had a troubled history before the parole board — has long stood in stark contrast to Glowatski, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 1999 but sought forgiveness from Virk's parents, meeting with them to express his remorse. Sim stood trial three times for the murder before the Supreme Court of Canada finally upheld her conviction in 2009. She was released on day parole in 2018, but has been hauled back in front of the parole board multiple times for domestic violence and positive urine tests. According to the parole documents, Sim was arrested in 2021 because of a deterioration in behaviour. She returned to a community residential facility in the Lower Mainland in 2023, but was in and out of trouble. Staff described her behaviour as "antagonizing, threatening and insulting." 'An undue risk to society' According to the parole board, Sim was ultimately apprehended at the facility following the positive drug test last January, but would not leave her room, making "vague suicidal comments" and "screaming and kicking" before she was taken into custody. Sim — who is the parent of one child — has "struggled emotionally" due to her child's behavioural issues, being a single parent and "managing legal custody issues" with her ex-partner. WATCH | Reporter Jason Proctor recounts what it was like to cover the high-profile murder case in 1997: New miniseries turns spotlight back on 1997 murder of Victoria's Reena Virk 1 year ago Duration 6:41 The new Hulu series Under the Bridge is drawing renewed attention to the murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk in Victoria. CBC's Jason Proctor, who covered the story of the killing when it happened in 1997, takes us through the latest court documents and reaction to the show from those involved. The parole decision says she also voiced safety concerns following the release of the television mini-series. At the time of the series release, the board noted that Sim had "demonstrated some remorse and victim empathy after a discussion about an upcoming television series based on your crimes." "You said the series is disrespectful to the victim and her family, and that the index offence was so horrendous that it would re-victimize the victim's family," the board noted in a previous decision. The parole board noted that Sim has been working as a cleaner since returning to jail and has "demonstrated positive behaviour" but concluded the risk of releasing her was too great. "Despite the time you have had for self-reflection since returning to custody, the board finds you continue to engage in behaviours and thinking that contributed to your suspension," the decision concludes.

Calgary Hitmen lose head coach to NHL's Edmonton Oilers
The Calgary Hitmen are on the hunt for a new head coach. Article content After one campaign as bench boss for the Western Hockey League squad, Paul McFarland is moving a few hours north to join the NHL's Edmonton Oilers as an assistant on Kris Knoblauch's staff. Article content Article content Some offers are too good to pass up — like the opportunity to oversee a power-play unit that features the starry likes of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Article content Article content McFarland, 39, has six seasons of NHL experience. He has previously been an assistant in Florida, Toronto and Seattle, running the man-advantage on each of those stops. Article content 'We extend our sincere thanks to Paul for his leadership and the positive impact he made during his time with the Hitmen,' the WHL team said in a release Monday. Article content With McFarland at the helm, the Hitmen rolled to a 45-17-6 record in the 2024-25 campaign, finishing third in the overall standings with 96 points. They were considered a top contender for the WHL title, but were eliminated by the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the second round of the playoffs. Article content The Oilers came calling after Glen Gulutzan — another familiar name around the Saddledome — was hired by the Dallas Stars. Article content 'I have a lot of respect for Paul. I think he's an excellent coach,' said Knoblauch, who has led the Oilers to two straight trips to the Stanley Cup final, after Monday's announcement. 'My time knowing him has gone back to coaching against him in the Ontario Hockey League and I also coached with him for a short period of time with Hockey Canada. Article content Article content 'I know a lot of coaches who are familiar with him, have spent a lot of time with him, and have a lot of respect for him. He's a hard-working guy, brings a lot of enthusiasm to work. I think those are good attributes to bring to our team. And just the fact that he's been running an NHL power-play for many years … The success that he had with those good power-plays in Toronto and Florida, I believe he'll be able to bring that over and have a good, strong working relationship with the players that we have on our team right now.'

Explaining the CFL's weather protocol after Roughriders' postponement
On Friday night, the Saskatchewan Roughriders were scheduled to take on the Calgary Stampeders in Week 6 of the 2025 CFL season. Article content However, due to wildfire smoke blanketing the air around Regina's Mosaic Stadium, the contest was postponed — following a nearly four-hour delay — until Saturday at 2 p.m. after the air quality health index (AQHI) didn't meet the CFL's official guidelines to play. Article content Article content Article content Under the CFL's official weather protocol, games can't be played when the AQHI is eight or above. However, the CFL doesn't currently have anything in their weather protocol surrounding delays due to wildfire smoke before the game starts, which is something that will likely be addressed in the coming week — before the situation happens again. Article content The lack of clarity surrounding the situation on Friday left fans in attendance and players in the locker room wondering when the game could potentially get underway. The game was then officially postponed at 10:45 p.m. Article content 'That sucked. It wasn't fun,' Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris said after the teams played on Saturday. 'We're sitting there and we're trying to figure out what the protocols are. Article content 'They can only delay it three hours, but that pertains only to lightning. And then it was like, 'OK, well now we've got this mini-game that we play before (the next meeting). You're trying to figure it out. Article content 'I always tell people, there's a reason you sign a tenant agreement when you rent a house, it's because people have things happen. Article content 'And now this will probably be something in the (collective bargaining agreement) that we'll have to address because that was not fun … We were sitting in the locker room since 5 p.m. and we're talking about teeing it up at 11:15, it's like, 'Hey, this is probably a player safety issue where we're sitting in the locker room for six hours and then go out and warm up for 20 minutes and play and be done at 2:15 in the morning.' Article content Article content 'That doesn't make a lot of sense, right? And so, I'm sure the league will do a great job responding in terms of creating a creating a protocol and an answer for us as you'd expect a very professional league (to do).' Article content In the CFL's current weather protocol, the only guideline surrounding wildfire smoke is that players cannot take to the field for warm-ups or a game if the air quality health index is eight or above. Each stadium is equipped with multiple air quality sensors that measure real-time data and any activity will be halted or not allowed to start like on Friday night.
