In what was supposed to be an ideal preparation for their opening Euro 2024 match against Germany, Scotland suffered a demoralizing 4-0 loss to the Netherlands in Amsterdam. The scoreline fails to tell the full story of a night where Steve Clarke’s side missed chance after chance before conceding three goals in the final 18 minutes.

In a dramatic turn of events, the QMJHL match between the Saint John Sea Dogs and the Cape Breton Eagles came to an abrupt halt on Saturday night as Sea Dogs’ head coach Travis Crickard collapsed behind the bench during the third period. The incident left the hockey world holding its breath as medical personnel rushed to attend to the stricken coach. The game, which was being played at the Centre 200 in Sydney, had seen the Eagles establish a commanding 6-0 lead when the shocking episode unfolded.
