Former Northeastern Forward Nick Rheaume Signs With AHL's Toronto Marlies
Rheaume, a product of Sherbrooke, Que., just finished his third season in the NCAA and first with the Huskies, scoring two goals and adding two assists for four points in 37 games. Across a total of 98 career NCAA games with Northeastern and UMass Lowell, Rheaume has put up 14 goals and seven assists for 21 points.
Before heading to the collegiate level, Rheaume played his junior hockey with the BCHL's Prince George Spruce Kings, collecting 73 points in 73 games across two seasons.
Although Rheaume inked with the Marlies, he will likely spend the majority of the 2025-26 season with the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones. A physical player who is hard to knock off the puck, Rheaume has the skills needed to make the jump to the pro game and could see games with the Marlies this upcoming season.

Nashville Predators' Spencer Stastney reveals lifelong battle with anxiety, depression
Nashville Predators defenseman Spencer Stastney, who missed much of the 2024-25 season while dealing with personal issues, revealed more details about what kept him away from hockey. Speaking to Elliotte Friedman and Kyle Bukauskas on "32 Thoughts: The Podcast," Stastney revealed a lifelong battle with anxiety and depression that had him on the verge of retirement in 2024. "I was thinking that I'm done. That I'm absolutely done with hockey," Stastney said. In September 2024, two months after Stastney was awarded a two-year contract at arbitration, the Predators, announced he would miss training camp and no timetable was given for his return. In the podcast interview on Aug. 3, Stastney explained his struggles began much earlier than that, going back to his days as a youth hockey player in the Milwaukee area. It was at the end of the Milwaukee Admirals' deep run in the Calder Cup Playoffs in 2024 when Stastney realized he needed to step away from hockey. After talking with his agent, Pete Rutili, he had his retirement papers all drawn up, convinced that he couldn't play anymore. "I thought it was going to be a sigh of relief, that I was going to get up in the morning and feel great. I was going to apply for jobs, like I'm a new person. I'm free finally. And I was still miserable," Stastney said. Spencer Stastney details family history, therapy work in NHLPA's assistance program After finally meeting with a therapist through the NHLPA's player assistance program, Stastney made realizations about his family history that were contributing to his anxiety and depression. As a promising young hockey player in the Milwaukee area, Stastney's family split up to allow his career to blossom. While his father and sister stayed in Milwaukee, he moved with his mother and brother to the Chicago area, before eventually leaving for the U.S. National Team Development Program in Plymouth Michigan, when he was 16. His parents' eventual divorce, combined with other family dynamics, all added stress to his life and exacerbated his anxiety. "Knowing that everyone was having a tough time while I was having a blast with friends and living my best life, that guilt really weighed upon me and added up to a lot of things that I came to realize in therapy," Stastney explained. "Pretty much everything went south in my family after the Chicago move." The weight of that guilt made hockey miserable for Stastney. "I didn't take care of myself," he said. "Slowly things started to deteriorate. I wasn't doing anything outside of the rink. I'd go to the rink, I'd come home, I'd sit on my coach, like what do I do now?" After many lengthy therapy sessions last year, Stastney finally felt excited about returning to hockey in November − crediting his therapist and Predators' development coach Mark Borowiecki as key resources in that journey. On Nov. 27, Stastney was added to the Admirals roster and made his AHL season debut on Dec. 7. Following injuries to Adam Wilsby and Jeremy Lauzon, the Predators recalled Stastney on Jan. 2, where he played 23 games to close out the 2024-25 season. HOT START: Why Nashville Predators must begin 2025-26 season on a hot streak, and what might help Stastney admits there is still more work to be done along with his future as a hockey player. 'I'm still trying to figure out my relationship with hockey," said Stastney. Alex Daugherty is the Predators beat writer for The Tennessean.

Marchand, McIntosh dominate as US end turbulent worlds with record
Leon Marchand and Summer McIntosh sealed their golden swimming world championships with dominant victories on Sunday's final day as the United States signed off with a relay record. Eight days of competition in Singapore wrapped up with French superstar Marchand and 18-year-old Canadian sensation McIntosh underlining their supremacy. Marchand, who won four individual golds and was the face of his home Paris Olympics a year ago, added the 400m individual medley crown to his 200m medley title this week. The 23-year-old arrived in Singapore with a lighter programme in an effort to smash Ryan Lochte's 2011 200m IM world record -- and he did just that. Marchand on Sunday cruised to victory in the 400IM, powering to the wall in 4min 04.73sec, more than three seconds ahead of Japan's Tomoyuki Matsushita (4:08.32), with Russian Ilia Borodin (4:09.16) third. Not to be outdone, McIntosh was similarly emphatic in winning the women's 400IM for her fourth gold in Singapore, to go with triumphs in the 200m medley, 200m butterfly and 400m freestyle. The world record holder led from start to finish to romp to victory in a championships-record 4:25.78, with Australia's Jenna Forrester and Japan's Mio Narita sharing silver (4:33.26). McIntosh's only defeat of the championships came on Saturday when she finished third in the 800m freestyle, with the American Katie Ledecky reigning over that event once more to underline her enduring quality aged 28. The US team were battling acute gastroenteritis all week and faced flak from Olympic greats Michael Phelps and Lochte. But they silenced the doubters by breaking their own world record in winning the women's 4x100m medley relay. The Americans were victorious in 3:49.34, beating their previous record of 3:49.63 from Paris a year ago. They also set a mixed 4x100m freestyle world record on Saturday. The US ended a turbulent week top of the pile with nine golds, ahead of Australia with eight and France and Canada on four -- all by McIntosh. American three-time Olympic gold medallist Bobby Finke hit back, saying the criticism was "weak" and "stupid". "Someone wants to say our swimmers are entitled, that's just the dumbest thing I've personally ever heard," world record holder Finke said after winning bronze in the 1,500m freestyle. - History-maker at 12 - China's 12-year-old schoolgirl Yu Zidi -- whose presence at the championships at such a young age has ignited debate -- was just out of the medals in fourth in the 400m medley. Yu was fourth in all three of her individual events and looks set to become a superstar of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. She goes home with a relay bronze from earlier in the week, and with it a slice of history as the youngest medallist ever. Australia's Meg Harris beamed from ear to ear after joining compatriot Cam McEvoy as a 50m freestyle champion. A day after McEvoy won the men's sprint, Paris Olympics silver medallist Harris powered home in 24.02sec to beat Chinese pair Wu Qingfeng (24.26) and Cheng Yujie (24.28). Harris said becoming an individual world champion was "the dream I have been dreaming of the whole time". "This is why I swim," said the 23-year-old. Tunisia's Ahmed Jaouadi added the 1,500m freestyle world title to his 800m crown. Jaouadi grabbed gold in 14min 34.41sec, ahead of Germany's Sven Schwarz (14:35.69) and American Finke (14:36.60). There was a Russian victory in the men's 50m backstroke, with world record holder Kliment Kolesnikov dominating for gold in a championships-record 23.68sec. Russian swimmers are competing as neutrals because of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The Russians won the men's 4x100m medley relay from France and the United States. Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte sealed a career fourth women's 50m breaststroke world crown. pst/lb
