Canada Celebrity news

In recent days, the Dodgers have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. We've heard all kinds of stories about the team's owner, Mark Walter, and there are major questions surrounding the team.
But what's the real story? We're starting to get a better picture.
Jeff Passan, appearing on The Max Mannis Podcast, provided an update on the saga and explained, in concrete terms, what's going on. Basically, right now, Walter is suspected of having reinvested insurance premiums from one of his comp

After years of rebuilding, the CH has finally become a competitive team again. The club has been acquiring talent for a few years now, and that helped it reach the Eastern Conference Final last season.
But the plan, of course, is to win the Stanley Cup… and to be contenders for it for several years to come.
Except that Bill Daly, in an interview with The Athletic, announced two pieces of news that won't help the Canadiens in the coming years. And the most significant one relates to an upc

The New York Yankees have been playing without three of their top four hitters for quite some time now. And while Cody Bellinger could be back as early as tomorrow (Sunday) and captain Aaron Judge is making good progress toward a return sometime in September, the situation is quite different for Giancarlo Stanton.
In fact, while recovering from a calf injury, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports that Stanton has injured his other calf and will miss even more time for the Bombers—potentially the r

The Canadiens' season will begin in just over a month. So we can expect some busy weeks ahead, with events like rookie camp, the golf tournament, and training camp.
It's all going to go by fast.
That said, even as the season approaches, Zachary Bolduc and Arber Xhekaj are still without contracts for 2026–27. We're wondering when these situations will be resolved… and it's interesting to note that Geoff Molson has spoken openly about the issue.
In an interview with Radio-Canada Sport

Last May, the Montreal Victory won the Walter Cup. It was a wonderful story for the city during a spring when the province was already buzzing with hockey excitement thanks to the Canadiens' playoff run.
And in the hockey world in general, seeing Marie-Philip Poulin win the one trophy she'd never won before also made a lot of people happy.
Just like with the Stanley Cup, all the players got to spend a day with the trophy. Except for Dara Greig (Ridly's sister, who plays for the Senators)—s

To say the least, it's been quite a week for Ketel Marte and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The 32-year-old mysteriously missed a game earlier this week against the Boston Red Sox, was placed on the restricted list following his absence, and was then moved to the 10-day injured list due to alleged knee issues.
Speaking to reporters before yesterday's (Friday) game against the Cincinnati Reds, manager Torey Lovullo admitted to feeling “betrayed” when asked to describe his reaction to Marte

It had been a long time since the Montreal Canadiens had given us such wonderful and intense emotions as they did during the 2025–2026 season.
What we experienced last season was simply magical, and it gave us a wonderful glimpse of what's to come for this great team.
The city of Montreal went completely wild during the playoffs, and it's clear that this has set the bar very high for the team heading into the 2026–2027 season.
Reaching the conference finals last year puts the Habs in

The big news in the Aug. 21, 1976, Vancouver Sun was that Frank Sinatra had flown into town for his first Vancouver concert since 1957 .It was the first show in the Pacific National Exhibition’s annual Star Spectacular of big name acts at the Pacific Coliseum, and was a great success.But it overshadowed an even bigger moment in PNE history — the debut of the SuperDogs .Frank’s audience was around 14,000. The SuperDogs drew only 200 to their first show, held in a parking lot be

I don’t know about you, but if you’d told me that Garrett Crochet was going to miss most of the season, I don’t think I would have believed the Boston rotation would have a good season.
Imagine if he can come back (in a relief role, mind you) late in the season: the Red Sox will have options on the mound.
A long catch-up with Garrett Crochet today included talk about his progress, changes to his contract, and an acknowledgment that a return this year would “a million perc

The $90 million, five-year hostile offer made to Leo Carlsson really sent shockwaves throughout the National Hockey League.
Seeing the Philadelphia Flyers offer that much money—$18 million a year—to the Anaheim Ducks forward has completely changed the way contracts are negotiated and signed.
In fact, there has been plenty of evidence of this ever since the Flyers matched the Anaheim Ducks' offer.
Several players have secured much more money than expected—and than they deserved&

As the Montreal Canadiens' 2026–2027 season approaches, Kent Hughes and his team still have two important internal matters to resolve.
In fact, two of his players remain unsigned for the upcoming season, and the more time that passes, the more urgent these matters become.
Zachary Bolduc and Arber Xhekaj are still not under contract with the Habs for the 2026–2027 season, which is set to begin shortly.
Obviously, there's no cause for major concern, but we're all wondering why the two

Last night marked Rafael Devers's big return to Boston.
Devers himself wasn't really in the mood to talk to the reporters on site about his time with the Red Sox.
That's fine. He doesn't have to.
We were all pretty eager to see what kind of reception the fans would give him. Would he be booed or cheered by the crowd?
Or both?
In the end, he was booed far more than he was cheered at Fenway Park. For the most part, the fans chose to boo him.
Rafael Devers received some mixed reactions in his retur

It's already almost September, which means we're just over a month away from the return of North American professional hockey.
When I say that, you naturally think first of the National Hockey League, but there's also the American Hockey League to keep an eye on once again this season.
The Montreal Canadiens' affiliate, the Laval Rocket, will kick off its season on October 2 at Place Bell.
After several mediocre years for the farm team, it had become the norm for Habs fans not to follow the Cana

Are you looking forward to the start of the Montreal Canadiens' season? I imagine the answer is yes.
It's already been several months since the team's 2025–26 season ended… and it's time for it to start again.
And just for fun, I've decided to share my five hot takes ahead of the upcoming season. Let me know in the comments if you think I'm crazy—or not…
1: Ivan Demidov will reach the… 90-point mark
In his first (full) season in the National Hockey League, Ivan D

The season is just around the corner. Training camps will open in just over three weeks, and the regular season kicks off on September 29. We're still waiting for the official announcement confirming that hockey will be back on TVA Sports, by the way.
It's not just the Canadiens and the Maple Leafs who will be in action on September 29. Four other games are on the schedule for this first day of the regular season, including one that will pit the Canucks against the Oilers in Edmonton.

Last summer, the Canadiens offered Joe Veleno a one-year contract.
The player, who wore number 90 last season, didn't have a major offensive role with the team; he was mainly used as a depth player and didn't play in every game.
He proved his worth over the course of the season, and we saw him take on important roles in the playoffs. But…
But you can't say that, offensively, Veleno impressed with his production. He tallied a meager five points (two goals) in 61 games… which isn't e

When Craig Button talks about the Montreal Canadiens these days, he's not just talking about a team capable of making the playoffs next year.
According to him, the Habs could be in the running for the Stanley Cup for the next six years.
And, as ambitious as that may sound… there's some logic behind this prediction.
The Canadiens are no longer a team that relies solely on a few veterans who can still deliver: a good portion of their core is still young and should continue to improve over t
