New York Rangers re-sign Matt Rempe to a 2-year contract worth just under $2 million
Matt Rempe re-signed with the New York Rangers on a two-year contract that a person with knowledge of the deal said is worth $1.95 million.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because financial terms were not disclosed. Rempe will count $975,000 against the salary cap for the next two NHL seasons.
Rempe, 22, has played 70 regular-season and playoff games for the Rangers over the past two years,
becoming a fan favorite and a popular teammate
for his willingness to drop the gloves and fight as well as hitting any opponent he can.
Getting him under contract is the latest move for general manager Chris Drury and New York after
trading Chris Kreider
to Anaheim earlier this month. New York is hoping to return to the playoffs after missing last season following a trip to the Eastern Conference final in 2024.
Rempe gives
new coach Mike Sullivan
a depth forward who the organization believes is working hard to develop and has the potential to improve. A sixth-round pick in 2020, Rempe has five goals and six assists at the NHL level.

San Jose Earthquakes owner John Fisher puts team on the market
The owner of the San Jose Earthquakes announced Wednesday that he has begun the process of selling the Major League Soccer club. John Fisher, who also owns baseball's Athletics, acquired the Earthquakes with Lew Wolff in 2007 for a $20 million expansion fee, bringing the team back in 2008 after a two-year hiatus. "The San Jose Earthquakes and PayPal Park have been an important part of our lives for nearly two decades," Fisher said in a statement released by the team. "We are proud of the role the Quakes have played in the growth of soccer throughout Silicon Valley. The Bay Area is a special place, and we're deeply grateful to the fans, players and staff who've been with us on this journey." The Earthquakes have hired the New York-based investment firm Moelis & Co. to lead the sale. The Earthquakes, then known as the San Jose Clash, were a founding member of MLS in 1996. The team won MLS Cup titles in 2001 and 2003. The Quakes also own and operate PayPal Park, an 18,000-seat stadium which is also the home of the National Women's Soccer League team Bay FC. "On behalf of Major League Soccer, I want to thank the Fisher family for their longstanding commitment to the Earthquakes and the San Jose community," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said in a statement. "Under their leadership, the club invested in world-class facilities like PayPal Park, built a highly respected youth academy and helped grow the game in one of the nation's most dynamic markets." The Quakes are the second MLS franchise currently up for sale. The Vancouver Whitecaps are the other.

Stanley Cup endures a little damage as the repeat-champion Florida Panthers celebrate
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The Stanley Cup is a little banged up, thanks to the Florida Panthers' celebration of back-to-back titles. The bowl of the famous trophy is cracked and the bottom is dented. Not for the first time and likely not the last. The Panthers won their second consecutive championship on home ice Tuesday night, beating Edmonton in six games. The team, following decades of tradition, partied with the Cup into the wee hours and kept the revelry going in Fort Lauderdale well into Wednesday afternoon. A spokesperson for the Hockey Hall of Fame said the keepers of the Cup are taking the appropriate steps and plan to have it repaired by the celebration parade on Sunday. Made of silver and a nickel allow, the 37-pound Cup is relatively malleable. Damage is nothing new for the 131-year-old silver chalice that has been submerged in pools and the Atlantic Ocean and mishandled by players, coaches and staff for more than a century. Just this decade alone, the Tampa Bay Lightning dropped the Cup during their boat parade in 2021 and the Colorado Avalanche dented it on the ice the night they won the following year. ___ AP Hockey Writer Stephen Whyno contributed. ___ AP NHL playoffs: and
