Article content
In a post on social-media site X on Monday, Twain was singing a much different tune about Calgary Flames rising-star goaltender Dustin Wolf.

A person shared a photo of Wolf at the Calgary Stampede chuckwagon races in a 'Let's Go Girls' shirt, the title of another of Twain's chart-topping hits, and the Canadian country-music icon replied: 'He's the cutest!' She even added a heart-eyes emoji.

Awooo to YAHOO!
Calgary Flames goalie Dustin Wolf joined Saddle Bronc Rider Ben Andersen for a little fit check before today's rodeo.
We may be partial, but we think Wolfie could spend his summers in the arena and his winters on the ice! 🏒🤠 @NHLFlames @dwolf2332 pic.twitter.com/HYlt6biY1J

15-year-old Aphrodite Deng becomes first Canadian winner in US Girls' Junior history
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) — Aphrodite Deng became the first Canadian winner in U.S. Girls' Junior history, beating Xingtong Chen of Singapore 2 and 1 on Saturday in the 36-hole final at Atlanta Athletic Club. The 15-year-old Deng won her third junior major title of the year, following the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in April and the Mizuho Americas Open in May. She earned a spot in the 2026 U.S. Women's Open at Riviera. 'It really means a lot. I just can't believe that I won,' Deng said. 'I didn't really think about the end result because I knew there were a lot of good players here. I just tried to win each match.' Deng had a 4-up lead over the 16-year-old Chen — the first player from Singapore to reach the championship match — after 18 holes. Chen cut the deficit to two twice on the second 18, the last with a par win on the 34th. Deng ended it on the 35th by matching Chen's par. 'I think I stayed in the moment throughout the whole match,' Deng said. 'I did get a little tired at the end. I learned that I'm pretty consistent and I'm pretty good, and I think that I stay pretty calm in front of a crowd and cameras.' ___ AP golf:

Or curling up on the couch during a rainy Sunday afternoon at home or the cottage. Fun fact: Canadian developers are behind a pair of hot new downloads: 'Angry Birds Bounce' from Rovio Toronto and 'Operation Scorched Jungle,' a new season for Ubisoft Montreal's popular 'Rainbow Six Mobile.' While not made in Canada, another new July release is highly recommended for kids and kids at heart: Nintendo's 'Donkey Kong Bananza' for the new Nintendo Switch 2 video game console, which can be played on the go (via its 7.9-inch screen) or when docked to play on a big-screen TV.

In case you haven't yet signed up for it, Apple Arcade is an underrated service that lets you play more than 200 games for only $8.99 a month (after one free month) and can be shared with up to five family members. Played on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, these mostly high-quality games cover multiple genres, have zero ads, and you will not be nagged to pay for additional in-game content because there isn't any. An Apple Arcade exclusive, Angry Birds Bounce from the Rovio Toronto studio is a new spin on the highly successful mobile game franchise — now fusing the tried-and-true 'slingshot' mechanic with a retro arcade 'brick breaker' vibe. Your goal is to select your favourite birds, like Red and Chuck, and fling them towards the pigs at the top of the screen in order to destroy them before they can reach the bottom and inflict damage on your flock. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Along with several islands, bird upgrades, power-ups and combo attacks, the developers added its first Canadian bird since the franchise debuted in 2009. It's a blue jay, of course, named 'Gordon' — a nod to late legendary musicians Gord Downie or Gordon Lightfoot, perhaps — which can send damaging shockwaves through rows of pigs. Fun but challenging, the game is tougher than it looks. Ubisoft Montreal announced the availability of 'Operation Scorched Jungle,' a new season for its popular tactical shooter, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile. Photo by Handout / Ubisoft Montreal 'Rainbow Six Mobile' gets new season Multiple award-winning studio Ubisoft Montreal announced the availability of 'Operation Scorched Jungle,' a new season for its popular tactical shooter, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile. Before we get to what's new, Rainbow Six Mobile — a console-like experience available for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets — is a free-to-play multiplayer action game that pits five online players against five others (in the core game mode, 'Attack vs. Defense'). This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In urban environments, you'll leverage high-tech weaponry, as well as spy cameras and drones, to weed out and destroy the enemy in close-quarter skirmishes. Amazingly detailed for a mobile game, much of the environment is destructible, including walls, floors and ceilings. Choose from a roster of more than 20 highly-trained Operators, each with their own unique abilities, special weapons and attacks, and gadgets. The new 'Operation Scorched Jungle' season adds new limited-time game modes (like the intense 'Bomb on Fire'), extra maps to complement the existing ones (like 'Bank,' 'Border,' and 'Oregon'), special in-game events, and a brand-new Operator, Capitao. Ubisoft Montreal says players can expect new seasonal updates every two months for more consistent content drops. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Note: While free to play, there is the option to pay for content in the game, such as packs of platinum, the in-game currency. It's rated for players age 17 and older because of realistic violence. Donkey Kong Bananza is the latest major release for the mega-popular Nintendo Switch 2 system. Photo by Handout / Nintendo Going bananas over the latest 'Donkey Kong' Also featuring destructible environments but appropriate for kids 10 and older, Donkey Kong Bananza ($99.99) is the latest major release for the mega-popular Nintendo Switch 2 system, which debuted at the start of June. And this '3D platformer'-style game is a blast. In Donkey Kong Bananza, the affable ape teams up with the young Pauline — yes, Mario's main squeeze Kong kidnapped in the original 1981 arcade game — to help navigate an enormous underground world. Across several subterranean locations, Kong will punch through breakable rock and other materials, solve puzzles, fight enemies, upgrade his abilities, initiate animal-like transformations, and complete missions — all to recover stolen banana-shaped gems (called Banandium) from a group of villainous primates. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Without giving too much away, Pauline's side story is highly enjoyable, too. The game is super fun on Nintendo Switch 2's gorgeous display but even better when you get home (or to a hotel room) to play on a much larger screen. Along with its single-player mode, Donkey Kong Bananza offers a 2-player 'co-op' (cooperative) option, where one player plays as Donkey Kong and the other controls Pauline, who rides on DK's shoulders and leverages her powerful voice to blast a path through rock and knock out baddies. (And shhhh, there's also a hidden 'DK Artist' mode.) While $100 is quite steep for a videogame, 'Bananza' can take you well over 50 hours to see and complete everything — not including its high replayability factor. — Based in Toronto, Marc Saltzman is the host of the Tech It Out podcast ( and the author of the book, Apple Watch For Dummies (Wiley).
