Dylan Coghlan returns to Vegas Golden Knights ahead of the 2025-26 season
Dylan Coghlan (Image Via Twitter) The new NHL season has people talking, and one familiar face returns to the circle for the Goldennights. Dylan Coghlan, a defenseman who had signed a one-year deal with the franchise on July 1, 2025, has been looking toward a new chapter with Vegas. Possessing offensive instincts from the blue line, Coghlan has proven he can perform well at T-stages and ditch his low points with various teams, but a comeback deluxe with the Knights can be a turning point in his career. Dylan Coghlan: Unique path to the NHL — WillieGRamirez (@WillieGRamirez) The path to the NHL has never been smooth and paved for Dylan Coghlan. After remaining unnoticed during the draft, he finally got his shot when the Vegas Golden Knights chose him for their inaugural training camp in 2017. The following year showed enormous progress in the AHL with the Chicago Wolves, where he scored an astounding 15 goals and 40 points while being a rookie defender. Golden Knights' Dylan Coghlan picks up first career NHL goal, hat trick | NHL on NBC | NBC Sports March 2021 would forever be engraved in his early career as the time in which he scored a hat trick against Minnesota: the very first time any Golden Knights defenseman could do so. This eventful night put him on the map, even as his path was dotted later with brief stints for Carolina and Winnipeg. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Outdoor Clothing | Designed to Perform.

Trek Kit India Shop Now Undo Either Way, Dylan Coghlan's future with the Golden Knights His being an experienced, 27-year-old with a promise and willingness to work hard fits well with the Golden Knights. In his most recent few seasons, he juggled AHL dominance and very limited NHL appearances, including one career-best 41-point season in the minors. His NHL numbers and what he should be or could be don't quite gel yet. And with a right-side shot and offensive upside, that may be just what Vegas will need for depth. As Nicolas Hague is gone, Coghlan is well-situated for a meaningful role as an everyday extra defenseman or as someone fighting for real minutes.

His return to Vegas is more than a reunion; it is an opportunity for him to re-establish himself in the NHL as his team strives to remain competitive. Coghlan might be the timely addition for the Knights, providing a splash of offense and dependable depth on the backend. Fans will be eager to watch and see if this will be the season that sees Coghlan claim his spot in Vegas on the big board. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

2025 Herald Sun Shield senior boys grand final live stream: Parade College v Catherine McAuley College
Don't miss out on the headlines from Aussie Rules Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. Catherine McAuley College are out to stop a famous Parade College three-peat and win their first Herald Sun Shield title in 33 years on Thursday. The senior boys final is set to be a hotly contested affair at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne on Thursday at 12pm, with the match to be streamed live and exclusive on KommunityTV. Both teams enter the decider in red-hot form, with Parade College fresh off a 62-point semi-final win, while Catherine McAuley prevail by 52 points over Padua College in their semi-final. 'Everyone's pretty excited, but we don't want to celebrate just making it, we're really hopeful that we can win it,' said Catherine McAuley coach Lee Coghlan. 'We know Parade are going for three in a row but that game last week has given us a heap of confidence to know that our brand of footy not only stacks up. 'I've got a lot of belief in our group that we can make a real impact and take it out, hopefully we can bring that game that we did last week and give it a real good run. 'We'll look to see how we can nullify some of their key movers, (but) we're really looking forward to taking the game on and playing our brand of footy and hopefully it can stack up.' Catherine McAuley has only twice figured in the Herald Sun Shield final, in 1992 when it last won the tournament, and the following year in 1993 when it finished runners up. Coghlan said the dominant nature of his side's semi-final triumph was particularly pleasing. 'The boys played really well, it was pretty blustery and windy … apart from some inaccurate goal-kicking the boys played a pretty flawless game, they played really well,' Coghlan said of the semi-final win. 'It's a real strength of this team that across all areas of the ground they're playing consistent footy and gelling together really well.' Players to watch Charlie King (Catherine McAuley College) King was best-on-ground last week and was instrumental through the midfield for Catherine McAuley. he did a terrific job setting up goals and kicking a few himself and is in some really good form. Tyson Gresham (Parade College) Gresham is a crafty player who can score goals and also has pace to burn. The Northern Knights co-captain and Vic Metro representative is a small forward at Coates league level, but expect to see him in the middle where he will provide crucial speed and burst. Gus Hay (Catherine McAuley College) Hay was really strong through the midfield in the semi-final. He's an inspirational leader for his side and a key cog in the engine room. Sebastian Murphy (Parade College) Murphy is a strong force at stoppages who uses the ball well and can impact the scoreboard. He's the Northern Knights co-captain and is the younger brother of Adelaide's Lachlan Murphy. Jaidi Jackson-Leahy (Catherine McAuley College) Jackson-Leahy is a classy player through the middle of the ground and has turned out for Vic Country. Lewis Houndsome (Parade College) The towering key forward was best-on-ground in Parade's ACC grand final win and will be pivotal again on Thursday. Is a great target who uses his body well and is a strong mark of the footy. Hugh Behrens (Catherine McAuley College) Behrens is a key defensive pillar down back who uses his voice really well and sets up the whole team.

Fancy eating your dinner at 5pm? How the early bird became cool thanks to Gen Z
Forget dinner at eight, younger generations are leading the way with sitting down to dine much earlier – but they're not the only ones. So what's behind this shift in eating out? It's 5pm on a Thursday, and tech account executive Tess Coghlan is about to head out for dinner with work pals in Dublin city centre. The booking has been made for 5.30, barely 30 minutes after the popular Chinese restaurant opens its doors for the night, but to Coghlan and pals, that's part of the appeal.

Being a Christian isn't easy
Spare a thought for Chris Coghlan, who has learned to his horror that not only is the Pope a Catholic, his own priest is one too. The Liberal Democrat MP, who voted to legalise assisted suicide, attends St Joseph's Catholic Church in Dorking. He complains to the Observer that Father Ian Vane 'publicly announced at Mass that he was… denying me Holy Communion as I had breached Canon Law'. Coghlan believes this represents a 'completely inappropriate interference in democracy by religious authorities'. If you're not a Catholic, at this point you're thinking one of two things: 'No thanks, I'll leave the Papists to their internal disputes', or 'Canon Law would be a cracking name for a courtroom series about a priest turned barrister'. But stick with me, there's something for everyone here. By his own admission, the Dorking and Horley MP was well aware of the Church's opposition to Kim Leadbeater's Bill. He was 'deeply disturbed to receive an email from my local priest four days before the vote… saying if I voted in favour I would be 'an obstinate public sinner' [and] complicit in a 'murderous act'.' Now, that's how I like my priests. Spitting doctrine like fire, not some hippie-boomer Father Mulcahy type spouting happy-clappy 1970s nonsense. Father Vane explicitly told Coghlan that, were he to vote for Leadbeater's Bill, it would be 'a clear contravention of the Church's teaching' and would 'leave me in the position of not being able to give you Holy Communion, as to do so would cause scandal in the Church'. This man has never come within a mile of an altar with an acoustic guitar. Coghlan claims that Father Vane 'weakened his argument by wrongly characterising assisted dying' as 'direct euthanasia, which is putting an end to somebody else's life'. It is Coghlan who is wrong. The distinction he posits is not recognised by the Catholic Church. The Catechism says: 'Intentional euthanasia, whatever its forms or motives, is murder. It is gravely contrary to the dignity of the human person and to the respect due to the living God, his Creator.' Suicide, meanwhile, is 'seriously contrary to justice, hope, and charity' and 'forbidden by the fifth commandment'. Saint Pope John Paul II, in Evangelium Vitae, defined euthanasia as 'an action or omission which of itself and by intention causes death, with the purpose of eliminating all suffering'. He termed it 'a grave violation of the law of God' and listed it, along with abortion, as 'crimes which no human law can claim to legitimise'. He acknowledged the concept of 'assisted suicide' but turned it over to Saint Augustine, who held that it was 'never licit to kill another: even if he should wish it, indeed if he request it… nor is it licit even when a sick person is no longer able to live'. John Paul concluded that 'any state which made such a request legitimate and authorised it to be carried out would be legalising a case of suicide-murder'. Even so, was it really necessary to deny Coghlan Holy Communion and announce said decision? Father Vane has faithfully guarded the Eucharist in accordance with Canon 915 and the teaching of Cardinal Ratzinger (as he then was) in 'Worthiness to Receive Holy Communion'. The legacy of Pope Francis, however, complicates matters a little. As Cardinal Bergoglio, he drafted the Aparecida Document issued by Pope Benedict XVI, which stated that Catholics in public life 'cannot receive Holy Communion and at the same time act with deeds or words against the Commandments', specifically citing euthanasia as an example. However, as Pope Francis, he preached that 'the Eucharist is not the reward of saints, but the bread of sinners'. He also waded into the controversy over pro-abortion US politicians receiving the Blessed Sacrament, saying he had 'never' refused anyone Communion and exhorting priests and bishops to 'be a shepherd' with 'closeness, compassion and tenderness'. Did Coghlan cast his vote with this in mind? If so, even those of us who favour doctrinal soundness over Jesuitical cleverness might wonder if there could have been a way around a eucharistic sanction. Unfortunately, Coghlan puts paid to that when he says he 'supported assisted dying in accordance with my conscience'. He is entitled to his conscience, but it is by definition not a Catholic one. Catholicism is composed of three strands: scripture, tradition and the magisterium, the latter being the instructional authority given to the Church by Jesus Christ. All three are as one on the question of man's creation in the image of God and the sanctity of human life. If you don't believe in these doctrines, then Catholicism is not the religion for you. Coghlan is halfway to that realisation when he says: 'My private religion will continue to have zero direct relevance to my work as an MP'. Catholicism is not a hobby, it's a living witness shaped by rites, dogma, and authority. If it has 'zero direct relevance' to your work, whatever that work is, you're in the wrong church. I hear the Anglicans put on a nice service. This sounds harsh, but it should not be mistaken for a saintly passing of judgement on a reprobate. Like Coghlan, I too am a sinner, perhaps sometimes a public one, and while I hope that I'm not too obstinate I cannot shed my birthright as a Scot. I would be in no position to judge him anyway, for I have recently returned to the Church only to learn that this Christianity business is much harder than I remember. So I speak not with the zeal of the convert but with the unbearable burden of the prodigal son drawn home in the full knowledge of his iniquity and his inadequacy. Catholicism is a struggle, it's meant to be a struggle, but it has to be a struggle you want, not one you merely inherit, or identify with, or thole to get your children into a Catholic school. I had never heard of Chris Coghlan before now. He might be a fine man and a hard-working MP, but he seems very confused about both freedom of conscience and democracy. If an MP was a member of the National Secular Society, was told he would be sanctioned if he voted to send a Bible to every household in Britain, did so anyway, then had his membership suspended, would Coghlan consider this an 'interference in democracy'? If he would, he belongs in neither the Church nor the Commons.

TimesPool: Elderly couple pocket $55,000 after being crowned winners of TimesPool
An elderly couple have pocketed a whopping $55,000 after being crowned the latest lucky winners of TimesPool. Charles 'Russel' Coghlan, 83, who has Alzheimer's disease, received the life-changing phone call earlier this week during a bus excursion with his carer and other retirees. Mr Coghlan's wife, Wilma Coghlan, said she couldn't believe the news. 'He was told on a bus with lots of people and carers during their day out, so everybody heard it ... they were really excited,' the 79-year-old said. 'His carer told me and I said, 'don't be silly', but she said, 'it's true.'' Ms Coghlan said the prize money made her feel financially 'secure' and said the pair were planning on treating themselves with a holiday in Esperance or Adelaide. 'We haven't got a lot of money and it will be helpful for us to not worry about the future ... it will be a nice secure feeling,' she said. 'We used to live in Esperance for years and we always like to go back there and have a nice holiday, so we will stay in a nice place instead of going in a caravan. 'We would like to go to Adelaide too, I think South Australia is a beautiful place.' Mr Coghlan said he had been playing TimesPool for about a decade and had been a loyal subscriber to The West Australian since he was in his 20's. '(It feels) strange to win such a competition,' he said. Punters can try their luck in TimesPool by entering the competition each week in The Sunday Times. Participants need to choose six letters and write them in alphabetical order, before choosing the seventh 'Super Seven Bonus' letter.
