INDIANAPOLIS — The Adrian College baseball team is back to serving as host of an NCAA Tournament Regional. The Bulldogs earned the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament after winning in the MIAA Conference Tournament last weekend. The NCAA Regionals are scheduled to take place May 16-18 at Nicolay Field.

The Bulldogs earned the No. 4 seed in the four-team regional and will start its battle with No. 1 UW-Whitewater at 11:00 AM on Friday, May 16. The Bulldogs are no strangers to the Warhawks after traveling to them in 2021 for a NCAA Regional that sent Adrian to the College World Series. The other two teams in the regional are No. 2 Washington University (Mo.) and No. 3 Ohio Northern University.

The regional will consist of a four-team double elimination bracket with the winner advancing to the NCAA Super Regionals against the winner of the NCAA Regional hosted by Gustavus Adolphus.

Tune in to www.adrianbulldogs.com later this week for more information regarding streaming, tickets, brackets, parking, and a tournament preview.

James Hagens Confirms Return to Boston College For Sophomore Season

Boston College men’s hockey forward James Hagens has had a busy summer.  In June, the Hauppauge, N.Y., native was selected by the Boston Bruins with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.  Now, he is currently competing with Team USA in the World Junior Summer Showcase.  Since being picked by the Bruins, […]

Boston College men’s hockey forward James Hagens has had a busy summer. 

In June, the Hauppauge, N.Y., native was selected by the Boston Bruins with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. 

Now, he is currently competing with Team USA in the World Junior Summer Showcase. 

Since being picked by the Bruins, questions have been circulating on if Hagens would return to BC or turn pro after just one college season. 

Hagens spoke to NHL.com senior draft writer Mike G. Morreale and appears to have confirmed his return to Chestnut Hill. 

During the interview, he shared his goals for the upcoming season which includes winning two big games during trophy season. 

“I want to be able to win a Beanpot, be able to win a national championship,” said Hagens to NHL.com. “Everyone has their roles, but our team goal is winning. That’s what we want to do. We fell short last year, but it’s hopefully going to happen this year.”

During his freshman campaign, he notched 11 goals and 26 assists for 37 points which helped the Eagles to a Hockey East regular season title, an appearance in the Hockey East Tournament, and to the Manchester Regional Final where BC fell to Denver 3-1.

Hagens returning to Boston College for the 2025-26 season is not a complete surprise as he shared that an additional season was the plan shortly after being drafted back in June. 

“Yes [that’s the plan],” said Hagens on ESPN. “It’s a talk you have to have with the team. It’ll happen in the next couple days.” 

Eagles head coach Greg Brown stated that Hagens needs to fine-tune some aspects of his game, but is confident in his ability to be a strong NHL player when the time comes. 

“The things he does well, he’ll be able to carry and translate for BC but also right into the NHL,” said Brown to NHL.com. “Like any young player going to the NHL, you have to bring your floor up, and that means getting bigger, stronger and faster. But then it’s about the details you need to play with to be successful, and again, that just takes time. He has a great hockey brain. He reads things quickly and clearly, so I think just the evolution of his game will be more of that this year.”

Boston College opens its season on Friday, Oct. 3 against Quinnipiac.

DULUTH — Dylan Samberg and the Winnipeg Jets are avoiding arbitration, agreeing to a new three-year contract Wednesday.

The 26-year-old defenseman from Saginaw will make $5.75 million per year on average over the life of the new deal,

the team announced.

Samberg was a restricted free agent and had he and the Jets gone to arbitration this week, it would have resulted in a one-year contract that would make Samberg a highly sought-after unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2026.

According to The Athletic,

Samberg will be in line for a much larger payday when he’s eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in 2028.

A two-time Minnesota Class A state hockey champion at Hermantown High School and two-time NCAA champion at Minnesota Duluth, Samberg is coming off his best NHL season in 2024-25 with six goals and 20 points, despite missing over 20 games to injury. His plus/minus rating of plus-34 in 60 games was the best on the Jets and tied for sixth overall in the NHL.

Samberg has 51 career points via nine goals and 42 assists in 216 career games over four NHL seasons. He was drafted in the second round by the Jets in 2017 out of Hermantown High School and signed after his junior season at UMD in 2019-20. He played one full season for the Manitoba Moose in the American Hockey League before getting the call up to Winnipeg.

Samberg is one of four former Bulldogs signed to the Jets for 2025-26 along with Alex Iafallo and fellow Hermantown natives Neal Pionk and Cole Koepke.

FAIRBANKS – The Alaska Nanooks have announced the addition of senior-transfer, Alexander Malinowski. Malinowski is transferring to Fairbanks after three seasons at American International College (AIC).

“Fairbanks fans will be familiar with Alexander from his time with the Ice Dogs,” said head coach Erik Largen. “He is a talented player who plays extremely hard. He brings maturity and professionalism to the rink every day and is a tremendous teammate.” Malinowski, who hails from Linköping, Sweden, is a 5-11, 187-pound forward. Before attending AIC, Malinowski played one season for the Fairbanks Ice Dogs in the North American Hockey League (NAHL) in 2021-22. In his lone-season, he donned the ‘A’ for the Ice Dogs and skated in 58 games, producing 75 points on 33 goals and 42 assists. He earned a NAHL (Midwest) All-Star Team selection for his production with the Ice Dogs.

Malinowski posted a career year in his first season at AIC. In 2022-23 he skated in 34 games, scored seven goals and assisted on 14 for a career-high 21 points. In year two, he skated in seven less games, but produced just as much, posting 20 points on a career-high nine goals and 11 assists in 27 games. His final season saw him post eight points on eight assists in 25 games. For his NCAA career, Malinowski has skated in 86 games, scoring 16 goals and 33 assists for 49 career points. In 2023-24, he was an NCAA AHA All-Academic Team selection. 

He intends on studying economics at UAF and is the eighth announced newcomer for the upcoming season, and is the first transfer announced this summer. 

Additional signees and newcomers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Amelia league’s goal: Let children ‘enjoy the awesome game of hockey’

WESTFIELD — Amelia Park Arena’s third season of outdoor youth floor hockey, which began on May 17, concluded on July 26. The league, dubbed the AFHL, had 105 players spread across eight teams competing in two divisions, ages 7-10 and 11-15.

This year’s league championships went to Red Wings in the 7-10 division, who took down the Rangers with a score of 12 to 6 in the final game, and the Wild in the 11-15 division, who bested the Kraken, 4-0.

“The goal of the AFHL is to provide a place for the children of our community to enjoy the awesome game of hockey. Floor hockey is played in sneakers, with the only required equipment being helmet, gloves and shin pads, making it a very inclusive sport. The cost to play is also far lower than ice hockey, adding another layer of inclusivity to the program,” said Amelia Park General Manager and AFHL founder Billy Fellows.

The inaugural season in 2023 was the first time in many years that the game had been offered in Westfield. Fellows said he was inspired to start the program in part by his own childhood experiences playing floor hockey at the Westfield Boys and Girls Club.

“Floor hockey was an amazing part of my childhood that I will never forget. It created so many memories, friendships and even eventually led me to start playing ice hockey. I think it’s just such an important program to be offering for the youth of our community,” he said.

The AFHL has continued to grow every season, starting with 85 kids its first season and adding 10 more each year, and Fellows said he is hopeful the trend will continue. “It was awesome to see interest right away in our first year and even better to see a steady growth,” Fellow said, adding, “I really need to emphasize that it would not be possible without the help of the volunteer coaches who pave the way for these kids.”

Fellows said one of the eight coaches who made year three of the AFHL a massive success is Blandford resident Mark Rizzo, who was excited to talk about the program.

“The Amelia Park youth floor hockey program is more than just a place for kids to play, it’s a staple of community growth and development. It teaches young athletes the value of teamwork, discipline, hard-work and perseverance, while also creating a welcome space where families come together and friendships are formed. None of this would be possible without Billy and the dedicated staff at Amelia Park, whose passion and commitment make this program such a positive force for our kids and the local community,” Rizzo.said..

The passion of the Amelia Park staff that Rizzo speaks of came into play for the championship games, where staff put in the effort to make the games extra special for the kids, adding in extras like the pre-game national anthem, music between whistles and a medal presentation for the winners.

This year’s league championships went to Red Wings in the 7-10 division, who took down the Rangers with a score of 12 to 6 in the final game, and the Wild in the 11-15 division, who bested the Kraken, 4-0.

The AFHL will return in May 2026, with the annual registration period opening up early February. More information on the Amelia Park Arena at 21 S. Broad St. in Westfield may be found at www.AmeliaParkArena.org, or by calling 413-568-2503.

Hulk Hogan's friend Eric Bischoff details final visit with 'weak' wrestler just weeks before his death

Hulk Hogan’s longtime friend Eric Bischoff could tell the wrestling legend had grown “weak” due to his recent neck surgery before he died. “He sounded tired but he still had that, ‘What are we going to do next?’ underlying current of energy in his voice,” the wrestling promoter, 70, said on Tuesday’s episode of “83 […]

Hulk Hogan's friend Eric Bischoff details final visit with 'weak' wrestler just weeks before his death

Hulk Hogan’s longtime friend Eric Bischoff could tell the wrestling legend had grown “weak” due to his recent neck surgery before he died.

“He sounded tired but he still had that, ‘What are we going to do next?’ underlying current of energy in his voice,” the wrestling promoter, 70, said on Tuesday’s episode of “83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff.”

Despite Hogan’s health struggles, Bischoff said he still “really” wanted to see his pal, and so he went down to Clearwater, Fla., to visit the former WWE pro while he recovered.

Bischoff noted Hogan was “kind of embarrassed” about being seen because he had been “pretty sick.”

However, the “Rocky III” star, who was born Terry Bollea, made sure their chat quickly turned to business, including Real American Freestyle, a professional freestyle wrestling promotion Hogan founded.

“All he wanted to talk about was business, but in a fun, energetic way, even though he was struggling,” Bischoff said.

“He was so anxious to get back to work,” the former World Championship Wrestling announcer added. “I just know since I’ve known him [that] he loves the hunt, he loves the thrill of the hunt.”

Bischoff said he could tell it would be “quite a while” before Hogan was back to his old self, but he told him he’d set up a few interviews to “give him something to look forward to.”

On July 24, paramedics were called to Hogan’s house after he went into a cardiac arrest. He died shortly after being transported to Morton Plant Hospital. He was 71.

“Unfortunately, we must confirm that Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, passed away this morning,” his reps confirmed to Page Six at the time.

“We are heartbroken. He was such a great human being and friend.”

Although Hogan was recovering from surgery, many in his inner circle did not think that the end was near for the wrestling superstar — as Bischoff pointed out.

The “Hogan Knows Best” alum’s wife, Sky Daily, reportedly told a social media user on July 12, “No, he’s definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage. None of those rumors are true.”

She then explained that Hogan had been “recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusin (ACDF), which is an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process.”

The fitness trainer concluded at the time, “He’s healing and we’re taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.”

Hogan’s manager, Jimmy Hart, also addressed the speculation via X on June 22, writing in a since-deleted post, “Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal! Last night at karaoke with Nick [Hogan] was absolutely fantastic, baby!!!”

The Wrestlemania champ’s official cause of death has not yet been revealed.
