THE CITY OF WARROAD HAS BEEN AWARDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOST HOCKEY DAY MINNESOTA 2024. THE ANNOUNCMENT WAS MADE OVER THE WEEKEND, WITH DETAILS OF AN EXACT DATE OR TEAMS THAT WILL PARTICIPATE NOT RELEASED. THE EVENT HAS COME TO NORTHERN MINNESOTA BEFORE, HOSTED BY BEMIDJI, GRAND RAPIDS, AND BAUDETTE.
THE UNITED STATES TEAM AT THE GRETZKY HLINKA CUP GOT OFF TO A GOOD START, AND 8-1 WIN OVER GERMANY IN THEIR FIRST GAME OF THAT TOURNAMENT IN RED DEER.
THE MINNESOTA TWINS MUSTERED JUST ONE VICTORY IN THEIR WEEKEND SERIES IN SAN DIEGO, WHERE THEY ALSO SAW MIGUEL SANO GO BACK ON THE INJURED LIST WITH KNEE INFLAMMATION.
THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TRADE DEADLINE IS TOMORROW, AND MANY EXPECT THE TWINS TO LOOK TO ADD PITCHING.
CLEVELAND AND CHICAGO BOTH WON YESTERDAY. THE TWINS MAINTAIN A ONE GAME LEAD ON CLEVELAND AND TWO ON CHICAGO. AS OF NOW, 2ND PLACE IN THE AL CENTRAL WOULD MISS OUT ON ANY WILD CARD POSITIONS.
NBA LEGEND, AN 11 TIME CHAMPION, BILL RUSSELL DIED AT THE AGE OF 88. NBA COMMISSIONER ADAM SILVER CALLED RUSSELL, “THE GREATEST CHAMPION IN ALL OF TEAM SPORTS” IN A STATEMENT YESTERDAY.
