Despite this important win, the Jays slipped slightly in the playoff standings because the Cleveland Guardians won both games against their rivals, the Detroit Tigers.

In short, the start of the 2026–2027 season is really just around the corner.
But aside from the start of the season, there's something else noteworthy for hockey fa]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/nhl-27-the-canadiens-have-the-best-team-rating-in-the-nhl/Sat, 05 Sep 2026 14:06:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/nhl-27-the-canadiens-have-the-best-team-rating-in-the-nhl/ But as the saying goes: things always come in threes.
And that could very well be the case for Atlanta, which has just taken a major step toward the potential return of a hockey team.
According to reports on the TVA Sports website, the development group The Gathering at South Forsyth has secured funding for a commercial, residential, and recreational complex in the city of Forsyth,]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/expansion-in-atlanta-a-major-development-in-the-project/Sat, 05 Sep 2026 04:03:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/expansion-in-atlanta-a-major-development-in-the-project/ Since we have very few details about the negotiations, we can only speculate on why the two sides have not yet reached an agreement.
However, beyond the contract's value and duration, one might wonder if it isn't actually his role with the Habs that is the real point of contention between the two sides.
After four seasons in the NHL, the Hab]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/arber-xhekaj-on-the-attack-his-junior-coach-is-very-skeptical/Sat, 05 Sep 2026 02:47:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/arber-xhekaj-on-the-attack-his-junior-coach-is-very-skeptical/ Currently, several general managers are working hard to sign certain players or complete a trade by October.
Here are the latest rumors from across the National Hockey League.
The Flyers are reportedly interested in Quinn Hughes
Quinn Hughes, whom the Wild acquired last year, has yet to sign a contract extension with his current team, and many speculate that t]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/rumor-corner-keep-an-eye-on-the-flyers-for-quinn-hughes/Sat, 05 Sep 2026 01:27:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/rumor-corner-keep-an-eye-on-the-flyers-for-quinn-hughes/ The Tigers, apparently, weren't convinced they could sign him, so he was traded to the Dodgers just before the deadline.
Naturally, many people expect the Dodgers to try to keep him. However, it's unclear whether the saga involving owner Mark Walter will be a stumbling block in all of this.
That's why]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/angels-tarik-skubal-praises-the-new-owners-arrival/Sat, 05 Sep 2026 01:00:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/angels-tarik-skubal-praises-the-new-owners-arrival/ Just minutes ago, the Vancouver Canucks reached an agreement with Zeev Buium on the terms of a contract extension. The defenseman, acquired in the Quinn Hughes trade, has signed on for eight more years in Vancouver.
So, in an ideal world, he'll be the Canucks' defenseman of the future.
And clearly, the kid is going to be paid accordingly: he'll earn $9.38 million per year over the eight years of his contract.
That's more money than Ivan Demidov… and, more importantly,]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/monster-contract-zeev-buium-signs-for-more-money-than-demidov-and-hutson/Fri, 04 Sep 2026 23:56:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/monster-contract-zeev-buium-signs-for-more-money-than-demidov-and-hutson/ And Jason Botterill, the general manager in Seattle, agreed to his request. So the question was: in whose uniform would he start the 2026–27 season?
The problem is that, as of today, Wright is still in Seattle.

This season, the camp will take place from September 11 to 15. The Canadiens have confirmed the 23 players (13 forwards, seven defensemen, and three goaltenders) who will participate this year.The Canadiens' Rookie Camp begins on September 11

Starting with the San Diego Padres, who led the National League West division for virtually the entire 2010 season before crashing and burning. At the end of August, San Diego held a six-and-a-half-game lead over the San Francisco Giants bef]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/september-the-five-worst-collapses-of-the-2000s/Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:30:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-ca/news/canada-celebrity-news/september-the-five-worst-collapses-of-the-2000s/ My colleague Charles-Alexis Brisebois then wondered what lay ahead for the young man. Because the photo doesn't necessarily mean he had secured a spot on Torpedo's roster at all costs and/or that he would play in every game.
That could slow down his development.
Today, we have more answers. The Habs prospect isn't on the team's roster for the start of the season.

Since Brendan Gallagher left, the Canadiens have been left with a captain (Nick Suzuki) and just one assistant captain (Mike Matheson). So there's an “A” to hand out to someone before the season starts.
