On Saturday, Fury FC went back and forth with the Richmond Kickers before emerging with a 5-3 United Soccer League win. Five goals? In soccer, that’s an explosion.

  The timing ended up being perfect for a Cumberland woman forced to leave her family home weeks before giving birth to a healthy girl.
  Erica Fleming was two weeks away from her due date when firefighters convinced her to leave her riverside house as flood waters overtook the neighbourhood.
  Fleming, 38, didn’t know if she would be able to return to her home with her newborn daughter and three-year-old son, Tristan, after giving birth. The rising Ottawa River was unpredictable

  Erik Karlsson left reporters laughing as he exited the Senators’ dressing room for the last time this season.
  First, when asked if he was going to keep his handlebar moustache.
  “Probably not,” said Karlsson, sounding (intentionally?) like another Swedish Senators captain who was criticized for using that honest reply when asked if he thought the team could come back in a playoff series against the Penguins.
  “Probably not,” Karlsson said again. “I’m surpr

  Even Grey Cup champs make changes.
  It’s the way the landscape of the CFL works. Players move on to the NFL, some leave as free agents, others aren’t re-signed. So there will be plenty of new faces on the field Sunday morning as the Ottawa Redblacks open training camp at TD Place.
  From the lineup the Redblacks fielded in their 39-33 overtime win over the Calgary Stampeders last November, four starting defenders (Abdul Kanneh, Mitchell White, Damaso Munoz and Forrest Hightower) ar

  Natasha Wodak knows her new coach knows what it takes to establish a Canadian record in the 10-kilometre road race.
  Lynn Kanuka set that mark, and it has stood every day since March 3, 1989, when the athlete then known as Lynn Williams finished in 31 minutes 44 seconds in a race at Orlando, Fla.
  For anyone surprised that standard has survived so long, consider this: The 10K road record set by Paul McCloy in Orlando is two years older than that.
