Mammoth send Matias Maccelli to Maple Leafs for draft pick

Reuters30-06-2025
June 30 - The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forward Matias Maccelli from the Utah Mammoth on Monday in exchange for a conditional draft pick.
If the 24-year-old Maccelli produces at least 51 points during the 2025-26 season and the Maple Leafs make the Stanley Cup playoffs, then Utah will receive a second-round pick in the 2029 NHL Draft. If those conditions aren't met, then the Maple Leafs will convey a 2027 third-round pick to Utah.
Maccelli, who carries a cap hit of $3,425,000 for the upcoming season, produced eight goals and 10 assists in 55 games for the Utah Hockey Club last year.
For his four-year career, the Finland native has racked up 37 goals and 93 assists in 224 regular-season games. He earned a spot on the NHL's 2022-23 All-Rookie team with 11 goals and 38 assists for the Arizona Coyotes, the forerunner to the Mammoth.

Swimming worlds: Summer McIntosh wins 200 IM for second gold in as many days

Two days. Two gold medals. Summer McIntosh is off to a perfect start at the swimming world championships in her attempt to win five individual gold medals, a feat only achieved by American legend Michael Phelps. The 18-year-old Canadian took the 200-meter individual medley on Monday, clocking 2:06.69. The victory matched the gold she won Sunday in the 400 freestyle. Alex Walsh of the United States claimed the silver in 2:08.58 with bronze going to Mary-Sophie Harvey of Canada in 2:09.15. The winning time trailed McIntosh's world record of 2:05.70. And she was not content. 'Going in tonight, my goal was to get my hand on the wall first,' McIntosh said. 'So to get that done is good. I'm not super happy with my time. But honestly, at a world championships, my goal is just to go as fast as I can against my competitors. Still happy with the gold and hoping to keep up my streak next time.' Yu Zidi, a Chinese 12-year-old, finished fourth in 2:09.21, just missing a medal as she astounds the swim world with her times. She is also due to compete in the 400 IM and 200 butterfly, probably her strongest events. McIntosh will chase three more golds in the 400 IM, 800 free and the 200 butterfly over the next six days in Singapore. Gretchen Walsh broke through on Monday with the first gold in Singapore for the United States, taking the 100 butterfly in 54.73. The silver medalist a year ago in Paris, Walsh was just off her world-record time of 54.60 set earlier this year. Roos Vanotterdijk of Belgium took silver in 55.84 and Alexandria Perkins of Australia claimed bronze in 56.33. Walsh acknowledged in a post-race interview at poolside that the American team had been hit with a bout of what team officials called 'acute gastroenteritis.' It was picked up at a training camp in Thailand prior to arrival in Singapore. U.S. officials have confirmed the outbreak but have given few details and did not name swimmer nor say how many were affected. 'With the illness that's been going on – I faced it back the last couple days – my body has just been fragile, and I think that I've needed to give myself grace,' Walsh said. 'Luckily, I had the morning to recover and rest, and I used that, and that helped me enormously going into tonight, so I tried to make the most of it. 'It was not easy, and I'm just really proud of myself,' Walsh added, thrilled to be under 55 seconds. 'It took a lot of guts. I just wanted to go out there and do it for my team, just represent the flag well. It came out of somewhere, but I'm really, really happy.' Walsh's older sister Alex was almost even with McIntosh after 150 meters, swimming a strong breaststroke leg to make it a race. 'I was really excited on the breaststroke leg,' she said. 'I could see her and I knew I was kind of gaining on her because breaststroke is my best stroke. I was really excited and, obviously coming home on the freestyle, that's definitely where my biggest weakness (is).' Two other finals wrapped up Monday's schedule. Qin Haiyang, the world champion in 2023, defeated Paris Olympic winner Nicolo Martinenghi of Italy in the 100 breaststroke. Qin clocked 58.23 to give China its first gold in Singapore with the Italian swimmer finishing in 58.58. Denis Petrashov of Kyrgyzstan took bronze in 58.88. 'I've been injured and it's not been easy to get back to my best,' Haiyang said. 'I'm at best at 70%. I'm probably lucky. This definitely helps with my confidence.' In the men's 50 butterfly, Maxime Grousset of France edged Noe Ponti of Switzerland. Grousset clocked 22.48 with Ponti finishing in 22.51. Thomas Ceccon of Italy took bronze in 22.67. In the four semi-finals, Paris Olympics bronze medalist Luke Hobson of the United States led 200 free qualifying (1:44.80), with Paris champion David Popovici of Romania in fourth (1:45.02). Hubert Kós of Hungary headed a very fast men's 100 backstroke in 52.21. American Regan Smith led the women's 100 backstroke (58.21) ahead of two-time Australian Olympic champion Kaylee McKeown (58.44). Kate Douglass of the United States swam a personal best in the 100 breaststroke (1:05.49) and will be the top seed in Tuesday's final.

Eugenie Bouchard delays retirement with first win in two years as she prepares to quit tennis for different sport

PIN-UP Eugenie Bouchard has delayed her retirement plans by at least one more match after making a winning return in her home city. The 2014 Wimbledon runner-up will lay down her tennis racquet and transfer her skills to pickleball after the conclusion of the National Bank Open in Montreal. 6 6 Fans gathered on Monday night thinking they might get the chance to say goodbye to Bouchard, who was once one of the top players on the WTA circuit. More people have gotten to know her in recent years from stunning beach swimsuit photoshoots – the most famous was for Sports Illustrated – than from tennis appearances. Since her heyday, she has faded from the competitive arena and slumped to 1,062 in the world rankings due to inactivity. The 31-year-old chose this event as the best chance to say her proper farewells to the sport – she was given a wildcard by organisers – but she has managed to extend the party for a few more days. The Montreal-born player won a gripping three-setter 6-4 2-6 6-2 over two hours and 14 minutes against Colombian world No82 Emiliana Arango at the IGA Stadium. The place was rocking as she marked her first WTA victory since 2023 – and first success in her home city since 2016. This was also her second singles match this year. And she will now prepare to face Switzerland's former Olympics champion Belinda Bencic in round two on Wednesday. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 6 6 Bouchard – named after the Duke of York, Prince Andrew's younger daughter Princess Eugenie – said: 'I didn't know what to expect. 'I woke up this morning just telling myself: 'Look, I can't control the result.' 'I just want to have a good attitude, have good fight, and try to feel good with my shots, feel good with my game. 'No matter what happens, I wanted to walk off the court having enjoyed that kind of gritty battle, and it definitely turned into one of those battles. 'I enjoyed every second of it. 'There were definitely moments where I had to kind of almost block out the noise and just pretend it was a normal point that just happened. 'And just keep going because the crowd was very loud out there, and I really, really appreciated it.' HISTORY MAKER Eleven years ago, Bouchard became the first player to represent Canada to reach a Grand Slam singles final. She was crushed 6-3 6-0 by Czech player Petra Kvitova in the Wimbledon final on Centre Court. That same season she made the semi-finals of the Australian Open and French Open and reached the Last 16 of the US Open. Two years ago, she achieved a career high by helping Canada win the Billie Jean King Cup Final in Seville. Her career has been derailed by inconsistent play and injury, which included a serious shoulder surgery that kept her off the court for 17 months between 2021-2022. There was also a lengthy lawsuit against the United States Tennis Association (USTA) after she suffered a concussion when she slipped and fell in a US Open locker room in 2015. In February 2018, a jury decided Bouchard was partially at fault – it determined the USTA was 75 per cent to blame for the incident, with Bouchard 25 per cent to blame. 6 6

Improving Orioles brace for doubleheader vs. Jays

July 29 - Maybe it's not too late to alter the narrative on the season for the Baltimore Orioles. With the lineup closer to looking the way the club expected it to, there is growing confidence even with the trade deadline looming on Thursday. Now another test comes with a day-night doubleheader against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. Catcher Adley Rutschman came off the injury list and was among the batters to provide sparks as Baltimore belted four home runs in an 11-4 series-opening victory on Monday. Rutschman delivered three hits, including a pair of doubles, a much-coveted development after he had been out of the lineup for more than five weeks because of an oblique injury. "I missed these guys so much, and to be able to get back out there again today, it was just the best," Rutschman said. The Orioles have won three games in a row and four of their last five. The Blue Jays will try to dodge a three-game losing streak, which is something they haven't experienced since they were swept June 13-15 in Philadelphia. There also is concern about designated hitter George Springer, who was plunked up high by a ninth-inning pitch from Baltimore reliever Kade Strowd. Springer walked off the field as he was removed for a pinch runner. "He's doing all right," Toronto manager John Schneider said postgame. "It kind of got him in his shoulder, then helmet. ... He was able to turn a little bit, too." Two batters later, Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette grounded into a game-ending double play, ending his franchise-record streak of collecting hits in nine consecutive at-bats. Four Toronto players previous had 8-for-8 streaks. The pitching matchups weren't entirely clear for the doubleheader, though right-hander Charlie Morton (6-8, 5.48 ERA) is slated to be used by Baltimore in the opener. Morton is coming off a 6 2/3-inning stint during a victory at Cleveland on Thursday, when he allowed three runs and five hits while walking four batters. With 99 strikeouts this year, the 41-year-old veteran is on the verge of reaching triple figures for the 10th time in his career. In 10 all-time matchups against the Blue Jays, Morton is 2-3 with a 4.42 ERA. Morton is unbeaten in nine home appearances since April 29, though he spent some of that time coming out of the bullpen. Baltimore should have left-handed reliever Keegan Akin, who came off the injured list Monday, available for at least one of the games Tuesday. Akin had been out since July 1 due to an inflamed left shoulder. Left-hander Eric Lauer (6-2, 2.61 ERA) will get the call for the Blue Jays in one of the games. Lauer, who is averaging slightly more than one strikeout per inning, is aiming to pick up his third victory in as many starts. In 14 innings combined against the San Francisco Giants and the Detroit Tigers, he surrendered three runs without giving up a walk while striking out 13 batters. Lauer's only career start against Baltimore lasted 4 1/3 innings without a decision, as up four runs (three earned) on April 12, 2022. Baltimore's offense suddenly is showing encouraging traits. Coby Mayo has hit two of his three career home runs across the past four days. Not only was Rutschman back, but he re-introduced himself with an eye-catching performance. It was his first multi-RBI game since June 5. "He's gone through some struggles here over probably a 300-at-bat span," Baltimore interim manager Tony Mansolino said. "That's probably the right way to look at it. It felt like he was coming out of it a little bit when he got hurt. Today was another nice step in the right direction, so hopefully he continues." The Tuesday doubleheader came about because of an April 11 postponement. --Field Level Media
