Wild bring back Nico Sturm on a 2-year, $4 million contract

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Gustav Forsling runs away with the Florida Panthers’ fitness testing every year. Carter Verhaeghe figured a few weeks ago that that might change in next season’s training camp.

“We were joking around earlier when (Nico) Sturm got traded to our team — he’s pretty fit, too — that he’s kind of going to give him a run for his money next year,” Verhaeghe joked during the Stanley Cup Final.

Sturm will have to settle with running away with the Minnesota Wild’s fitness testing.

On Tuesday, the opening day of free agency, Sturm — always the most physically fit specimen dating to his college days — returned to his original NHL team, signing a two-year, $4 million contract ($2 million AAV).

Sturm, a native of Augsburg, Germany, who was named one of Germany’s first six players to make the 2026 Olympic team last month, is excited to return to a place he knows so well. He played his junior hockey in Austin, Minn., and signed with the Wild as a college free agent out of Clarkson in 2019.

Sturm played parts of four seasons with the Wild, scoring 20 goals and 36 points in 111 games before Bill Guerin, the same general manager who brought him back to Minnesota on Tuesday, traded him to the Colorado Avalanche for Tyson Jost. But Minnesota is still where he lives in the offseason with his fiancée, Taylor Turnquist, the former three-sport star athlete from Spring Lake Park High School, two-time Clarkson University national champion and former Boston Pride and Minnesota Whitecaps defenseman.

Sturm returns to the Wild with two Stanley Cups under his belt, winning one with the Avs in 2022 and one with the Panthers on June 17. In fact, he was the Panthers’ last player to lift the Cup during the on-ice celebration before handing it off to president of hockey operations and GM Bill Zito.

“Certainly a little bit of luck always involved, landing on those teams, at the right spot at the right time,” Sturm told The Athletic during a sitdown at the Eastern Conference Final. “I think at the same time, it also tells me that I’m doing something right in the way that I can fulfill that role in the fourth line on those teams.

“I want to play in important games — games that have meaning. In the last three years (with the San Jose Sharks), we didn’t get the chance to do that, unfortunately, and I just turned 30, so I’m thankful to be a part of this.”

Sturm was interested in returning to Florida, but he understood Zito needed to focus on the bigger fish: Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad and Brad Marchand, who all re-signed. But Sturm told The Athletic during that sitdown in May that if he became a free agent, he would be interested in returning to Minnesota.

Guerin traded Sturm because he turned down a five-year contract extension, at the time envisioning a bigger role and not seeing a path to it with the Wild because of the centers in front of him. But a little more than three years later, Sturm realizes that this is who he’ll probably be the rest of his career and has embraced being a terrific penalty killer and elite faceoff guy.

“I obviously love Minnesota,” Sturm said last week. “It’s the reason I live there now in my offseason, and you get treated extremely well by the organization. So it was just a career decision at the time. I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Minnesota and the Wild.”

Sturm’s strengths are the areas the Wild have significant needs. The Wild ranked 30th on the penalty kill last year at 72.4 percent and 29th in the faceoff circle at 46.7 percent. Sturm’s faceoff percentage was .588 last season — fifth-best in the NHL for centermen with a minimum of 422 draws. He also brings size at 6-foot-3 and physicality as a terrific-skating, north-south player. He’ll fill the role of recently-traded Freddy Gaudreau.

Sturm, who has scored 46 goals and 92 points in 331 games, returns to the Wild more mature, especially after learning so much from his short stints in Colorado and Florida.

“The leadership in Florida doesn’t just come from one guy,” Sturm said. “You look at the experience, the playoff experience that they have, I think that’s the biggest difference is that you don’t just rely on one or two guys to bail you out in the intermission to say something or to step up. But it’s just the room almost coaches itself in a way. And I think that’s what coaches want, is that coaches can just rely on the technical aspect of the game, the hockey part, but the emotional part and how we get ready, the teams that are good are the teams that are experienced enough to do that by itself.”

Sturm said last month he’d take advantage of every second with the Panthers, then focus on July 1.

“There’s players that play in this league for 15 years and they never get a chance to even come this far, and I get my second chance to be on a team that’s this great,” he said. “I just try to soak up every second, every game that I get to play. The role that I play, I can’t play in this league another 10 years, most likely. It’s just not the way it works. So I try to enjoy every practice, every pregame skate, every shift, every kill that I get to, every draw that I get to take.

“Really that’s the biggest thing that I took away from the Cup win with Colorado. It kind of gives you a little peace of mind that I found my role now in this league. I know what I bring to the table and the worries about the future, about what’s next year or in two years, I’ve gotten much better at handling that.”

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.

PROCTOR — The calendar hasn’t even flipped to August, but Cloquet-Esko-Carlton looked to be in mid-season form on Friday, July 25 in the first game of the 2025 SummerFest hockey tournament at Aspirus St. Luke’s Sports and Event Center.

The Lumberjacks systematically dismantled the St. Cloud Crush 4-0 and the team has been singularly focused since starting daily workouts this summer.

“We’ve skated every day this summer,” incoming senior Cole Painovich said. “We’re all getting together at the rink and trying to get better and just have fun. We get better skating together and we’ve got one goal — let’s get to the state tournament.”

The Lumberjacks were among the top-ranked Class A teams in Minnesota throughout the season and even beat perennial section champion Hermantown late in the regular season. CEC advanced to the section final for the first time in 17 years, but suffered a heartbreaking overtime loss to Hibbing/Chisholm.

Throughout June and July, the team has gathered daily — typically with 30 or more players — at 6:30 a.m. to work together and prepare, which will make competition this fall even fiercer, CEC coach Shea Walters said.

“The gains they get from doing that are impressive,” he said. “Spots are hard to come by and every kid is working to solidify a spot as the season approaches.”

The late July hockey tournament gave the Lumberjacks something to look forward to during summer practices. The practices are a lot of hard work, focused on skills and conditioning, so changing things up and skating against another team was just what the Lumberjacks needed, Painovich said.

“It’s fun to play against other teams and get that competitive edge going,” he said. “The Crush are a good team. It was fun to get back in the rink and set the tone for the season.”

The Lumberjacks summer program builds to the SummerFest tournament and Walters was pretty happy with what he saw from his team Friday.

“It definitely felt a little more like an in-season game today,” Walters said. “It was a physical game, but I liked where we were at. A lot of players did a lot of good things. As a team, we looked good — of course there’s some things you write down, things we could work on. But for this point in the year, I like what we saw.”

Painovich’s 14 points were behind only Conor Sullivan and Jordy Sewell among returners for the Lumberjacks, and tied with Luca Gentilini. They also return goalie Jack Iallonardo, who posted a .923 save percentage and a 1.95 goals against average over 22 games last season. Sewell is part of a strong sophomore class for CEC that also includes Brahm Snesrud, a defenseman that scored 12 points as a freshman.

They won’t have leading scores Niko Gentilini or Grady Knutson, nor

, but Painovich believes they can still get it done this year.

“I’m just excited to see what we can do,” he said. “We’ve got one goal: to go to state and see what we can do.”

rom the world of cinema come many unforgettable movie lines. “The Godfather” gave us “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.” Dorothy Gale in “The Wizard of Oz” tells us, “There’s no place like home.” And after naïve Lloyd Christmas professes his undying love for socialite Mary in “Dumb and Dumber,” she shoots him down by telling him that his chances aren’t good. When he asks, “Like one in a hundred?,” she counters with “More like one in a million.”

An exultant Lloyd bursts forth with, “So you’re tellin’ me there’s a chance. Yeah!”

That came to mind when I read about a recent extensive study of youth sports in America. Nearly 2,000 parents of kids participating in youth sports were surveyed on various topics, including the athletes’ eating habits, undue pressure from coaches and/or teammates, and potential signs of burnout. The question that caught my attention was when parents were asked whether they thought their son or daughter had the potential to reach Division I level in NCAA college athletics.

Slightly more than one in five (20.5%) parents believed that this was the case. That’s a one-in-five chance that their kid will make it to D-I. Let me say first that there’s nothing wrong with wishin’ and hopin’ and plannin’ and dreamin’… It’s cool to aim high, but there have to be some realistic expectations thrown in.

It used to be that getting a college scholarship meant you could keep playing the sport you loved (or at least were very good at) and get a free college education as well. That was a great deal. Today, it’s that and there’s money on the table. That’s even more incentive, more pressure and more heartbreak.

Lots of kids play club softball, soccer and basketball. But the club sport that seems to be the most popular and perhaps best organized is club volleyball. Many club volleyball kids play the sport year-round to the exclusion of all else. Some have been convinced that exclusivity is the key to success, while other may simply have found the sport for them and don’t want to spend time playing other sports. 

While not every kid who plays club volleyball aspires to play in college, it’s safe to assume most do. A look at how many actually reach that level is eye-opening. Remember that one-in-five percentage of parents who believed their kids were good enough for Division I sports? Well, for women’s volleyball, it’s actually one in 84. Yes, at those huge weekend volleyball tournaments that take over all the high school courts in town or are held at massive sports complexes in Phoenix or Orlando, out of roughly 1,000 girls playing, about 12 will make it to D-I. 

To be fair, reaching Division I isn’t the ultimate goal for college athletics. Athletes can also compete at D-II, D-III, NAIA or junior colleges. Of course, not all of these offer athletic scholarships, so financial considerations may influence the decision. With all these options available, the likelihood of playing college volleyball at some level becomes much more attainable in 17. 

However, if one in five thinks that their kid is D-I quality, what percent must feel that their child can play college ball somewhere? 50%? More? It’s brutal to learn that the actual number is around six percent.

It’s not just volleyball and it’s not just girls. It’s tough all around. For girls basketball, it’s one in 82 to go D-I. For guys, it’s one in 112.

The best odds for girls to make D-I come in the sports of lacrosse and ice hockey, both at one in 24. However, for that to happen, you’d have to go back in time and somehow see to it that your parents settled in New England or upstate New York so that you could grow up playing those sports at a high level.

The longest odds for males (one in 152) and for females (one in 183) come in tennis, where a lot of D-I scholarships go to foreign athletes.

A full 15% of boys who play high school lacrosse go on to play in college, although only 3% play Division I. A robust 12% move on to college baseball and more than  9% do so in football. 

For girls, the sport that comes after the aforementioned ones (ice hockey and lacrosse) in terms of a best shot at playing in college: Field hockey, which basically isn’t played anywhere west of the Mississippi. That’s some serious regional bias there. 

So, the odds are long, but that’s why dreams are dreams.

Men's Soccer Dedicates Coaches Award in Memory of Mike McIlwain

COLLEGE PARK, MD — Maryland men’s soccer head coach Sasho Cirovski has dedicated the team’s annual Coaches Award in honor of former player Mike McIlwain. McIlwain passed away on June 6 after a courageous battle with cancer.

“It is my distinct honor to dedicate our Coaches Award in memory of Mike McIlwain.”, said head coach Sasho Cirovski. “Mike was one of the very first student-athletes I recruited, and he played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for our early success here at Maryland. He exemplified professionalism in everything he did and was the ultimate teammate. Mike carried that same passion and dedication into his professional life, selflessly serving his patients and giving back to his community. Above all, he was a devoted husband and father who always put his family first. There is no one more deserving of this recognition. Mike’s legacy will forever be woven into the fabric of this program.”

McIlwain played at Maryland from 1994-97, and was a member of the 1996 team that won the first ACC championship under coach Cirovski. Over his four years in College Park, McIlwain played in 67 games and made 16 starts. He finished his career with 13 goals and 10 assists, and helped lead the Terrapins to four consecutive Sweet 16 appearances. Maryland was the only program in the nation during that four-year span that reached the Sweet 16 every year. The team’s 16 wins during the 1997 were the most in school history at the time.

Following his time at Maryland, McIlwain went to graduate school at the University of Florida to study dentistry. He brought the same hard work and dedication he learned on the soccer pitch to his next career, becoming a Diplomate and Fellow of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. For over 20 years Mike dedicated himself to his patients and his community, offering outstanding care and supporting families. He dedicated himself to many outstanding organizations, including donating his time and expertise to the Tampa Bay Cleft and Craniofacial Center.

Mike’s love for soccer continued after his playing days, as a youth coach for Tampa Bay United. He loved mentoring young athletes, and strived to develop the same love for the game that he learned as a youth player. 

Mike McIlwain is survived by his loving wife Cristina Yarnoz McIlwain, their three children: Ella, Grayson, and Lucia. He will be remembered for his tireless dedication to his family and his community.

Men’s Lacrosse | 7/30/2025 11:30:00 AM

ONEONTA, N.Y. – Paul Vecchio, Hartwick’s Executive Director of Athletics, has announced the appointment of Connor Bishop as the new Head Coach of the men’s lacrosse program, effective August 4th, 2025.

 

Bishop comes to Hartwick after most recently serving as Associate Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach at his alma mater, Shenandoah University, a role he has held since October 2024. Prior to becoming Associate Head Coach, Bishop also served as an Assistant Coach at Shenandoah for over three years. During his tenure with the Hornets, Bishop assisted in bringing the program to the Old Dominion Athletic Conference quarterfinals every season, while the team maintained an impressive cumulative GPA of over 3.13 each year.

 

Connor has all of the qualities I was looking for in our next head coach: proven recruiting ability, a passion for developing student-athletes holistically, a love for the game of lacrosse and a non-stop work ethic,” comments Vecchio. “His experiences at both Swarthmore and Shenandoah, who compete in two of the premier athletic conferences in Division III – the Centennial and ODAC – also stood out. I know Connor is going to go above and beyond to continue the momentum our team has – coming off our first-ever Empire 8 playoff victory – while building a program capable of competing for Empire 8 Championships.”

 

Bishop also spent considerable time as an assistant coach at both Swarthmore College and Adrian College, respectively. While at Swarthmore, Bishop helped develop a man-up strategy that ranked the Garnet as high as 19th nationally. His recruiting efforts at Swarthmore set the table for them advancing to the NCAA Tournament for three straight seasons (2022-24).

 

I’m incredibly honored, humbled, and excited to join Hartwick College as the Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach,” Bishop says. “I want to thank Paul Vecchio for seeing the vision I have for this program. A great foundation has been laid and I’m looking forward to relentlessly pursuing excellence for the young men in this program.”

 

Before beginning his coaching career, Bishop earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science from Shenandoah University in 2017. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership.
