Team USA found a touching way to honor Johnny Gaudreau after its overtime win against Switzerland in the World Championship gold medal game.
Tage Thompson, Clayton Keller, Zach Werenski, Conor Garland and Brady Skjei skated over to accept the trophy. But before they brought it back to their teammates, a Gadureau jersey with his No. 13 was draped over it.

Gaudreau won a gold medal for Team USA during the IIHF World Junior Championship and bronze in 2018 at Worlds.
Team USA also honored the late Columbus Blue Jackets forward during the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off when they hung his jersey in a locker throughout the tournament.
Mike Eruzione, best known as being the captain for Team USA during the 1980 Winter Olympics in which the Americans defeated the Soviet Union in the famous 'Miracle on Ice' game, wore a Gaudreau Team USA jersey ahead of the NHL 4 Nations championship game.
Gaudreau, along with brother Matthew, were killed in August by an alleged drunk driver as they rode their bikes in New Jersey on the eve of their sister's wedding.

Adell homers and Angels sweep A's 6-5 despite Rooker's 2 homers
Jo Adell homered in a wild six-run sixth inning and the Los Angeles Angels overcame two homers by Brent Rooker to beat the Athletics 6-5 on Wednesday and sweep a three-game series. Adell's 13th homer was his sixth in nine games. His two-run shot capped a rally that saw Athletics starter JP Sears ejected after giving way to reliever Grant Holman (4-2) with one out. Holman walked Mike Trout on a 3-2 pitch he believed was a strike to load the bases. Holman hit Taylor Ward to bring in a run and Jorge Soler followed with a two-RBI single. That's when Sears was tossed after yelling animatedly from the dugout. Osvaldo Bido relieved Holman and Travis d'Arnaud gave the Angels the lead with a sacrifice fly. Adell followed with homer. Rooker's two-run homer in the seventh, his 15th this season, cut the Angels' lead to 6-5. He had four hits including a double. He scored three runs and drove in three. Kyle Hendricks (4-6) went six innings and gave up three runs, two earned, on seven hits. Reid Detmers pitched a perfect ninth for his second save. The A's have lost 23 of 27 games. The Athletics' Jacob Wilson, second in the majors with a .366 average, missed his second straight game with a sore hamstring. Key moment Soler's two-run groundball single somehow evaded the Athletics' diving middle infielders to tie the game and that's when Sears, in line for a win, boiled over. Key stat The Angels swept a home series for the first time since June 24-26, 2024. That also came against the A's. Up next Luis Severino (1-6, 4.77) will pitch for the Athletics against Cole Ragans (2-3, 5.18) on Friday. The Angels' Jack Kochanowicz (3-7, 5.61) will throw against Charlie Morton (2-7, 6.59) at Baltimore on Friday.

Live Updates: Police Clear Protesters in Seattle, Las Vegas and L.A.
California liberals welcomed Gov. Gavin Newsom's speech condemning President Trump, but some remained skeptical of the governor. Republicans, meanwhile, saw his address as opportunistic and blamed him for the state's turmoil. For months, Californians weren't sure what to make of Gov. Gavin Newsom. There was the new podcast on which he interviewed right-wing influencers and said he felt trans athletes shouldn't participate in women's sports. There was the meeting in February with President Trump in the White House. And there were occasional snipes at Republicans, but nothing like those Mr. Newsom had dished out in years past. Then came a blistering nine-minute speech on Tuesday in which Mr. Newsom warned Americans that Mr. Trump was destroying democracy and acting as an authoritarian who would eventually send the military to states across the country. Many liberals in California cheered Mr. Newsom, finally seeing in him the leader of the resistance that they had been missing. Those feeling confused and fearful since Mr. Trump started his second term were looking for someone to stick up for them and said they appreciated Mr. Newsom's forcefulness. 'In a time of rising fear and growing threats to democracy, he spoke not just as a governor, but as a moral leader,' said Representative Lateefah Simon, Democrat of California. 'He named the danger plainly.' But others, while supportive of his message, were not entirely convinced. They said testing the political climate ahead of a potential run for president. 'Even if you're late to the party, you know, welcome to the fight,' said Hugo Soto-Martinez, a progressive City Council member in Los Angeles, who appreciated what Mr. Newsom said but wished the governor had stood up to the president sooner. Adrian Tirtanadi, executive director of Open Door Legal, a nonprofit which provides free legal representation for immigrants and others, said he liked all of the words in Mr. Newsom's speech. But, he said, he wondered why the governor was not backing up the rhetoric with more financial support for immigration lawyers who could fight deportation. Big talk without much action, Mr. Tirtanadi said, is often the California way. Still, others appreciated that Mr. Newsom had demanded that Mr. Trump stop workplace raids and filed lawsuits seeking to block the deployment of National Guard troops and Marines in Southern California. That has given some hope to immigrants who have felt powerless. When David Campos was 14, he and his family traveled by foot and by bus, across deserts and over mountains, to California from their home in Guatemala. They scurried under a border fence and settled in South Central Los Angeles without legal papers. The family eventually obtained citizenship through his father's carpentry job. Mr. Campos went on to Stanford University and Harvard Law School, served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and is now the vice chairman of the California Democratic Party. Mr. Campos said he was glad that Mr. Newsom, the former San Francisco mayor with whom he sometimes clashed, took a defiant stance toward Mr. Trump. 'I'm glad he's rising to this moment,' Mr. Campos, 54, said in an interview. 'The governor reminded us that if the president can do this in California, he can do it anywhere in this country. That's how a democracy can die.' Republicans in California, many of whom have aligned with President Trump, said they were decidedly unimpressed with the governor's speech. Senator Brian Jones, the State Senate minority leader, said that the governor seemed to have been filming an early campaign commercial with his speech, from the way the flags were set in his backdrop to the suit he was wearing. 'It doesn't do anything to lower tensions in L.A.,' Mr. Jones said. 'When he says we all need to stand up, is he encouraging more people to show up to the riots and participate?' James Gallagher, the Republican leader of the California State Assembly, called the governor's address 'self-righteous political posturing.' Mr. Gallagher said California's policy of preventing local law enforcement from working with federal immigration officials created the current tension. He said he found it funny that Mr. Newsom was accusing Mr. Trump of being authoritarian when the governor ordered Californians to close their businesses, stay home from church, attend school on Zoom, wear masks and get vaccinated during the Covid-19 pandemic. 'He was a total tyrant, and he has no business talking about authoritarianism because he is exhibit A,' Mr. Gallagher said. Mr. Newsom's speech, as well as his sharp-tongued retorts to Republicans on social media this week, won some plaudits from younger influencers. Dwayne Murphy, Jr., a 34-year-old content creator who lives in Downey, Calif., and said he votes Democrat, said he appreciated that the governor 'seems to be hyper-focused on standing up for this state at a time like this, and I feel like that's what people are very encouraged by.' Inkiad Kabir, 20, a pop culture content creator who lives in the Inland Empire region of California, said that Mr. Newsom was the rare Democrat willing to go on the attack, calling him 'basically liberal Trump, in a way.' Mr. Kabir created a popular TikTok video this week in which he called the governor 'Daddy Newsom' and likened the governor to a 'toxic ex that you promise you're not going to go back to, but you always go back to.' For now, it seems, Mr. Kabir has gone back.

Elk Grove 8th graders' final-quarter grades will only count toward promotion participation
ELK GROVE — Grades will not count as much for 8th-grade students in the Elk Grove Unified School District after it passed a policy that said only grades from the fourth quarter of the school year will count when deciding whether to participate in the promotion ceremony. This means a student could technically fail most of the year, but if they get good grades in the final quarter of 8th grade, they will be able to walk across the stage with their classmates. "What's the point of me showing up?" said Derrick Brown, an 8th-grade science teacher at Samuel Jackman Middle School. Brown has been dedicated to preparing his students for high school for decades and told CBS13 that kids used to need to complete 50 out of 60 credits in order to participate in the promotion ceremony. "Now you're discrediting me as a teacher. How can I hold kids accountable if they are sitting there saying, 'Well, it doesn't count anyway?' " said Brown. It is a district-wide middle school criteria change that states to participate in the promotion ceremony, you can have no more than one "F" in the 4th quarter of 8th grade, you must pay off any fees like library books and you cannot get suspended in the fourth quarter of the school year. "I have gotten straight-A's basically all my life, and so I want to keep it that way," said incoming 8th grader at Joseph Kerr Middle School, Tessa McMahan. She is curious how the policy could impact classrooms and students' willingness to participate and learn. "I know it was really hard keeping my grades up and staying focused when the other students were always interrupting my teacher and stuff," said McMahan. Elk Grove Unified told CBS13 that several of its middle schools already had this policy, so the change was about equity and consistency. "We really care about his grades, and we think it's important to get good grades," said parent Euna Helms. Helms said the grades her incoming 8th grader son gets reflect his hard work and create habits she hopes will carry him through life. "Folks who say middle school grades don't matter anyway. It doesn't go on your permanent record," said Brown. "That's not the point. The point is accountability." The policy will be in place for all nine Elk Grove Unified middle schools for the 2025-2026 school year.
