(Photo: Sergei Belski-Imagn Images) Calgary prospect Andrew Basha and his Medicine Hat Tigers did not reach the promise land of Canadian junior hockey as they were beaten 4-1 by the OHL champions London Knights in the Memorial Cup Final on Sunday evening. Advertisement The 19-year-old forward put up passes and created scoring chances, but none could be finished into the back of the net. He tried to get something going during his shift in Medicine Hat's first and most promising-looking power play, but that too faltered. The Calgary native will end his Memorial Cup campaign with one assist. Two days ago, the Knights knocked out fellow Flames prospect Etienne Morin and the QMJHL champions Moncton Wildcats. It was reported from Logan Gordon that Flames assistant GM Brad Pascall plans on having Morin on the Flames' AHL affiliate team, the Wranglers next season. Similar plans are being discussed for Basha. Tweet from Logan Gordon regarding the futures of Flames prospects Etienne Morin, Andrew Basha and Matvei Gridin (@Fan960Logan) It should be interesting.

Pittsburgh Steelers Ex 5th-Round Running Back Released From CFL Team
Pittsburgh Steelers Ex 5th-Round Running Back Released From CFL Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back and fifth-round draft pick Jaylen Samuels is once again looking for a new home. Advertisement Samuels signed with the CFL's Ottawa Redblacks early last month but was released over the weekend as part of the team's final roster cuts. Samuels was one of 21 players cut. The 28-year-old was drafted by the Steelers in the fifth round at No. 165 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. The former NC State Gamecocks running back played for Pittsburgh for three seasons, appearing in 14 games each year, spreading out eight starts. He totaled 459 yards rushing on 131 attempts with one touchdown. Samuel left Pittsburgh to join the Houston Texans in 2021 before signing with the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. He was cut before the season started that season. Advertisement He went back to Houston to join the XFL's Roughnecks in 2022 and then to San Antonio to the UFL's Brahamas in the 2024 UFL Draft. The Redblacks finished 2024 at 9-8-1 and in third place in the East Division, losing 58-38 to the Toronto Argonauts in the East Semifinal game of the playoffs. Samuel was without a team until the Redblacks came calling from the Great White North. At 28, he should still have a ton of football left in him, and he's now available to join any other team as a free agent - either in Canada or the US - to continue his career. As the UFL season is entering its playoffs, his opportunity there might come next season if he decides that's a path he'd like to follow.

Indiana Fever Make Announcement After Third Straight Loss
Indiana Fever Make Announcement After Third Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Amid Caitlin Clark's absence, the Indiana Fever have found themselves on a three-game losing streak early into the 2025 WNBA season. Advertisement On Sunday, Aliyah Boston and the Fever returned home, only to lose to the last winless team in the league, falling to the Connecticut Sun 85-83. Clark has been out over Indiana's last two games thanks to a left quad strain she suffered in Saturday's loss to the New York Liberty. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star will be out for a minimum of two weeks, making her earliest possible return on June 10 against the Atlanta Dream. With Clark out for a few games, the Fever have needed someone to step up, and Boston has helped carry that load. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and forward DeWanna Bonner© Grace Hollars/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Against the Sun, Boston was one of the top performers, finishing with 17 points on 8-of-10 shooting, five rebounds and eight assists. Newcomer DeWanna Bonner also played a key role in the fourth quarter, knocking down three 3-pointers to help the Fever erase a 15-point deficit. Advertisement But it was Boston who won Indiana's version of the Player of the Game award. After the loss, the Fever took to social media to announce the former South Carolina forward as Friday night's "Stat Leader of the Game." Boston has been solid for Indiana, entering Friday's game with 16.8 points on 62.5% shooting, 10.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. But she could be asked to do even more going forward after the Fever were dealt two more injuries against Connecticut. Guards Sydney Colson (left leg) and Sophie Cunningham (right ankle) were forced to leave the game early, never to return. Indiana will have three days off before their next game on Tuesday against the Washington Mystics. Then, they will travel to Chicago to face Angel Reese and the Sky on Saturday, June 7.
