After two surgeries, San Jose Sharks prospect is again all smiles. What’s next for the 20-year-old?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:11:44 GMT

Defenseman Gannon Laroque could be excused for having a little extra enthusiasm this week as he and other San Jose Sharks prospects got ready for the six-team Rookie Faceoff in Las Vegas.After all, it had been about nine months since he last played a game.“My smile is probably the biggest you’ve ever seen,” Laroque said Friday after he had a goal and an assist in the Sharks team’s 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings. “It was fun to be out there again.”Laroque, a fourth-round draft pick by the Sharks in 2021, is coming off a challenging 2022-2023 season in which he had two surgeries – followed by two grueling rehabs — with just four games played for the WHL’s Victoria Royals.After he was drafted, Laroque enjoyed a breakout season with the Royals with 52 points in 63 games. A right-shot defenseman, Laroque was suddenly considered one of the organization’s top prospects — certainly, he was the most improved — and the Sharks announced on June 1, 2022, that they ha...

Wales weathers energetic underdog Portugal to win 28-8 at Rugby World Cup

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:11:44 GMT

NICE, France (AP) — Wales scored a bonus-point fourth try in the last play of the game to beat Portugal 28-8 without ever completely subduing the feisty underdog playing its first Rugby World Cup game in 16 years on Saturday.No. 8 Taulupe Faletau came off the back of the scrum and rumbled through three poor Portugal tackles for the final try in the 83rd minute, which ensured Wales came away with maximum points even if it didn’t dominate the Pool C game the way it expected.Louis Rees Zammit opened the try count for the Welsh in the ninth minute, and celebrated his kick-and-chase score on the right wing with a version of Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous siuuu! leap and land — a cheeky take on Portugal’s most famous sports star.Hooker and captain Dewi Lake drove over after taking a tap penalty but that second Wales try only came right at the end of the half.Jac Morgan, called into the team late to replace Tommy Reffell at openside flank, got Wales’ third early in the ...

Slipper’s versatility and resilience gets him to fourth Rugby World Cup for Australia

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:11:44 GMT

SAINT-ETIENNE, France (AP) — James Slipper wanted to retire from rugby at age 30.He’s 34 and set to anchor Australia’s front row in the Rugby World Cup on Sunday.“I’ve gone a bit over time,” he said.What’s happened is he’s maximizing a second chance he received in his 30th year, 2019.Back then, Slipper had suffered depression for a year while coming to grips with his mother’s terminal cancer. He tested positive for cocaine twice but Rugby Australia took them in context and was lenient with the punishment while giving him specialist mental health help. He didn’t play for the Wallabies in 2017 and 2018 and left the Queensland Reds in 2019 to try and restart his career with the ACT Brumbies.He helped the Brumbies reach the Super Rugby semifinals, and Wallabies coach Michael Cheika picked him to resume his test career against South Africa at Ellis Park just two months before the World Cup in Japan. Slipper was a mainstay in the front row again.T...

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns top wide receiver Amari Cooper had to leave Saturday’s practice early with a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Monday night’s game at Pittsburgh.Coach Kevin Stefanski didn’t have much information on Cooper, who underwent surgery to repair a core muscle injury during the offseason.
