Fans prepare to cheer on London Knights at 7th Memorial Cup
The city of London has teamed up with the Knights to host a free outdoor screening as the team competes for the Memorial Cup. CTV's Lauren Stallone reports. Coming off last year's heartbreaking final minute loss, fans are gearing up to cheer on the London Knights in their 7th Memorial Cup on Saturday. Ryan Craven, Core Area program manager at the City of London, said hundreds of fans are set to take over Dundas Place, between Ridout and Talbot Streets, as the city hosts a free outdoor screening of the big game. 'We are going to have a DJ playing music to kind of create a nice atmosphere,' said Craven. 'At around 5:30 p.m. the London Police Pipes and Drums Band will come to ceremonially open the event.' The city is encouraging fans to rep their green and gold and come cheer on the Knights as they face-off against the Moncton Wildcats. 'It's always nice when people come together,' said Craven. 'We spend so much time alone with our screens and so this is why we bring a big screen downtown so the community can connect and feel like one.' 052325 London Knight's Memorial Cup London Knight's Memorial Cup games will be screened outdoors. (Source: City of London) Sav Neth, president of the London Knights Fan Club, said events like this help drive the team to victory. 'Whatever you are doing, just bring that positive energy, that vibe, that feeling, it resonates,' said Neth. 'The guys feel it all the way down to Rimouski.' The OHL Champs are looking to clinch that first game win to set themselves up for a successful run at the cup. 'I chatted to a few of the guys this week about how excited they were and how much they're going to take in, but they are focused on the task at hand and bringing that Memorial Cup home to the forest city,' said Neth. Neth said this year's win is essential, following last year's heartbreaking final-minute loss. 'The team worked so hard to be at this point, back-to-back championships, came so close last year, a lot of heartbreaks and they got some unfinished business,' he said. 'What's bigger than hockey is the people and that is what we are doing, and the best thing is seeing the love and joy from everybody involved.' The first screening will show the game between the Knights and the Moncton Wildcats, champions of the QMHL. Puck drop is at 6 p.m. The second game, on May 25 at 6 p.m., will see the Knights play against the Rimouski Océanic. On May 27 at 7 p.m., the Knights compete against the WHL champions, Medicine Hat Tigers. Food, beverages, and public washrooms will be available at Canada Life Place for fans.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma visit Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan
Virat Kohli, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, went to the temple town of Vrindavan in the Mathura region of Uttar Pradesh with his wife, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma, a day after announcing his retirement from Test cricket. At his Kelly Kunj ashram, the couple also met Premanand Govind Sharan, better known as Premanand Ji Maharaj, and asked for his blessings. Now, photos and videos of their spiritual journey to Vrindavan, which featured them riding in a local cab and wearing white, have become popular on social media. The couple has previously been seen visiting the spiritual leader. According to reports, they had two meetings with him such as one in January 2023 and another in January 2025. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma at Premanand Ji Maharaj in Vrindavan ????❤️ — Virat Kohli Fan Club (@Trend_VKohli) May 13, 2025 Conversation between Premanand Maharaj and Virat and Anushka The followers of the famous leader posted a video of the duo asking the saint for blessings on the micro-blogging site "X." The spiritual leader can be seen in the clip, asking Kohli whether he was happy during a brief interaction with him. The couple has had a long-standing relationship with the Maharaj, and this was their second visit. Anushka was heard asking during their latest conversation, 'Kya naam jap se ho jayega?'. He replied, 'Completely… I'm sharing this from my life experience. I have come to Bhakti Yoga after experiencing Sankhya Yoga, Ashtang Yoga, and Karma Yoga.' 'Ye vaibhav milna kripa nahi hai ye punya hai. Bhagwan ki kria maani jati hai andar ka chintan badalna… Bilkul aise hi rahi jaise reh rahe ho bilkul sannsarik ban kar raho, lekin andar ka chintan apka badal jaye, usme yash ki bhavna na reh jaye… Andar ka chintan ye rahna achaiye ki 'Prabhu bhot janm vyateet ho gaya ab mujhe aap chahiye'. (Prosperity is not merely God's grace — it is the result of virtue (punya). It is considered to be a movement toward the divine. What truly matters is the transformation of your inner self… Live just as you are living now, fully engaged in the world, but let your inner self change. Let there be no desire for recognition or fame within. Your inner thoughts should be: 'Lord, enough of all worldly experiences, now, I seek only You').' Anushka then asks him, 'Kya jap se ho jaega?' Anushka Sharma's post on her visits to Premanand Maharaj Anushka Sharma posted a photo of the two of them walking alongside each other and wrote, 'They'll talk about the records and the milestones — but I'll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege.' 'Somehow, I always imagined you'd retire from international cricket in whites — But you've always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you've earned every bit of this goodbye,' she further added. Indian cricketer Virat Kohli on test retirement Post his Test retirement announcement on Monday, Virat wrote on Instagram, 'It's been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It's tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I'll carry for life. There's something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever.' He added, 'As I step away from this format, it's not easy — but it feels right. I've given it everything I had, and it's given me back so much more than I could've hoped for. I'm walking away with a heart full of gratitude — for the game, for the people I shared the field with, and for every single person who made me feel seen along the way. I'll always look back at my Test career with a smile.'
