Vancouver Canucks 2024–25 Report Card: Arshdeep Bains

Welcome to this edition of THN's Vancouver Canucks 2024-25 Report Card. This recurring 2025 off-season series features a deep dive into how each Canucks player performed last year. Today's article will focus on winger Arshdeep Bains, who finished the season with one points in 13 games. Bains received a couple of call-ups throughout the 2024-25 season. He also scored his first NHL goal, which came on October 26 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. While he did put forth some noticeable performances at the NHL level, most of his success came in the AHL, where he helped the Abbotsford Canucks capture the 2025 Calder Cup. There were few players better than Bains during the 2025 Calder Cup Finals. The 24-year-old recorded 10 points in six games, while finishing the playoffs with 24 points in 24 games. Ultimately, Bains showed that he can be relied upon in crucial moments, as he recorded multi-point performances in both Games 5 and 6 of the Finals.

During his 13 games, he recorded eight shots while also throwing 17 hits. Bains also saw some time on the power play, logging 9:49 of ice time with the man advantage. From BC To The Big Club: Arshdeep Bains' Path To The Canucks The forward looks to be in Vancouver's lineup on October 9th's season opener against the Calgary Flames. After the season was complete, Bains signed a two-year extension with Vancouver. The first year of the deal is a two-way contract, while the second season is a one-way contract. Based on the current roster, Bains will be one of a handful of players fighting for a spot in the bottom six and, if sent to the AHL, will most likely be one of the first forwards called up if injuries or trades occur. In the end, Bains had a successful third campaign with the organization. He played 13 NHL games and led Abbotsford to a championship. Based on his performance, Bains receives a B+ grade for the 2024-25 season.

Award-winning retailer praises Love Tipperary Gift Card after bumper six months of sales

An award-winning Tipperary retailer has praised the county's local gift card for its ease of use and commission free nature after enjoying a bumper six months of sales through the card. The Love Tipperary Gift Card is backed by County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council, with 300 businesses accepting the card. Both physical and digital versions of the card are available. Second generation family-run business Moran's Menswear opened its doors in 1970 and celebrates 55 years in business in 2025. The menswear retailer joined the Love Tipperary Gift Card when it launched in November 2024, with over €5,000 worth of gift cards spent in the store in six months. In the past five years, the retailer has tripled the size of the store in Thurles, added a private wedding room and won the Drapers Award for Best Independent Menswear across Ireland and the UK. Diarmuid Moran, owner of Moran's Menswear, said the Love Tipperary Gift Card supports their ethos as a business. 'We're proud supporters of the independent sector and the power of shop local,' said Mr Moran. 'If a person shops with Amazon that money is leaving Ireland but if you buy local it stays local and gets reinvested in the economy through jobs and the support local businesses provide to community projects and clubs.' He added: 'One of the main benefits of the Love Tipperary Gift Card is the fact that it's commission free. 'For example, I had a One4All Gift Card in the store today for €100 and I gave €12 of that to One4All in commission. In comparison, accepting the Love Tipperary Gift Card is 100pc commission free. 'Another major benefit is the ease of use. I can swipe the physical version while the digital version is added to the recipient's digital wallet so they can 'tap to pay'. 'We've accepted over €5,000 of Love Tipperary Gift Cards since the initiative launched in November 2024, and I think that is down to the ease of use for merchants accepting the card and recipients spending it.' Mr Moran said that what he sees in particular is the gift card users are tending to spend more than the value of the gift card in his shop. Diarmuid encourages local organisations to consider using the cards as rewards, and urges businesses who are not currently accepting the card to register. 'I'd like to see the Love Tipperary Gift Card becoming even more embedded within the community, and more organisations using the cards for rewards, ringfencing reward spend into County Tipperary,' he said. 'For local businesses in County Tipperary, it's very simple. If you're not part of the Love Tipperary Gift Card then people are not going to visit your business to spend their cards with you. 'As a business, you have to keep reinventing and moving forwards, and that includes participating in positive community initiatives that benefit the community like the Love Tipperary Gift Card. €5,000 of additional spend in just over 6 months is a positive for any independent business.' Michelle Aylward, chief executive at County Tipperary Chamber, said: 'It's fantastic to see the positive impact our gift card is having on our local businesses across a range of sectors. Some 300 local businesses now accept the card, but there's still time for other businesses to register to accept the card and experience the benefits of zero commission, easy revenue through their tills.' The Tipperary Gift Card is part of the Town and City Gift Card concept active across Ireland that has won several awards. Colin Munro is the managing director of Miconex, who manage these gift cards, and said: 'There is a huge shift in organisations making the move to local rewards for their rewards and incentives. 'In our research, 89pc of organisations in Ireland said supporting local businesses was important to their organisation. With 300 businesses accepting the card, the Love Tipperary Gift Card offers unbeatable local choice for employees, while the option of physical cards to hand over or digital cards to send to their email or phone makes support for local simple.'

UFC Announces First Nine Fights For Noche UFC Card In San Antonio

MIAMI, FLORIDA - APRIL 12: Diego Lopes of Brazil reacts prior to fighting Alexander Volkanovski of ... More Australia in a featherweight title fight during UFC 314 at Kaseya Center on April 12, 2025 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by) The 2025 version of the Noche UFC fight card is scheduled for Saturday, September 13, at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. Headlining the fight is what promises to be an exciting featherweight matchup between recent UFC title challenger Diego Lopes and the surging Jean Silva. The UFC recently announced the first nine bouts for the Noche UFC fight card. Noche UFC Fight Card: Official Fights Diego Lopes (26-7) vs. Jean Silva (16-2): Featherweight Tatianna Suarez (11-1) vs. Amanda Lemos (15-4-1): Strawweight Raquel Pennington (16-10) vs. Norma Dumont (12-2): Women's bantamweight Claudio Puellas (13-4) vs. Joaquim Silva (13-6): Lightweight Edgar Chairez (12-6-0-1) vs. Alessandro Costa (14-4): Flyweight Rafa García (17-4) vs. Jared Gordon (21-7-0-1): Lightweight José Daniel Medina (11-5) vs. Duško Todorović (12-6): Middleweight Jesús Aguilar (11-3) vs. Luis Gurule (10-1): Flyweight Montserrat Rendon (6-1) vs. Alice Pereira (5-0): Women's bantamweight Noche UFC Fight Card Date: Saturday, September 13, 2025 Noche UFC Fight Card Location: Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas Noche UFC Tickets: On Sale on Friday, July 25 Noche UFC Main Event: Diego Lopes Vs. Jean Silva LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JUNE 29: Diego Lopes of Brazil reacts to his victory over Dan Ige in a 165-pound ... More catchweight fight during the UFC 303 event at T-Mobile Arena on June 29, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Diego Lopes (26-7) is the No. 2 fighter in the official UFC featherweight rankings. Lopes joined the UFC in May 2023, dropping his promotional debut to Movsar Evloev via decision. Lopes followed that setback with five straight wins. A win over Brian Ortega at UFC 306 earned Lopes a shot at the vacant UFC featherweight title against former champion Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 314 in April of this year. Lopes dropped that fight by decision. After his loss, I wrote: "In my preview of this fight, I said that this matchup was too fast, too soon for Diego Lopes, but that it would prove to be a good learning experience for him. The fight essentially played out in that manner. "Lopes was a game fighter throughout the 25-minute affair, but he didn't make adjustments. His game plan was to move forward, pressure Volkanovski and land with power. That's not a bad game plan for 99 percent of the UFC featherweights, but Volkanovski is an outlier, and as such, Lopes was not fully prepared for the level of fighter he faced on Saturday night. 'With this fight behind him, I expect Lopes will be better in his next title fight, and there will be a next title fight for him.' At Noche UFC we find out what Lopes learned from facing one of the best to ever compete at 145 pounds. DENVER, COLORADO - JULY 13: Jean Silva of Brazil reacts after his TKO victory over Drew Dober in a ... More lightweight fight during the UFC Fight Night event at Ball Arena on July 13, 2024 in Denver, Colorado. (Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) A member of The Fighting Nerds team out of Brazil, Jean Silva (16-2) joined the UFC in September 2023 when he scored a UFC contract thanks to a decision win over Kevin Vallejos on a Dana White's Contender Series card. Silva extended his winning streak to eight straight with his win over Vallejos. Vallejos, who signed with the UFC following a 2024 DWCS win, is the last fighter to go the distance with Silva. Since his DWCS win, Silva has picked up four knockout victories, one submission and three straight fight-night bonus awards. Silva is coming off a dominant performance at UFC 314, submitting Bryce Mitchell in the second round. After his win over Mitchell, UFC commentator Joe Rogan said Silva, 'looks like a world champion.' Silva enters Noche UFC as the No. 10 ranked featherweight. We will have more on the upcoming Noche UFC fight card as the UFC Fight Night event approaches, including previews, odds, and predictions.
