Eager as coach Carla MacLeod is to see how her Czech Republic team handles the challenge of making its Group A debut at the women’s world hockey championships, the two-time Canadian Olympian understood the reality of the situation before the tournament even opened in suburban Toronto Wednesday.The chances of the Czechs or any one else besides America and Canada competing in the gold-medal final on April 16 are very slim.And the ideal way for other nations to begin catching up, the 40-year-old MacLeod told The Associated Press last week, is by establishing a centralized professional women’s league where the world’s top players can call home.“If you look back into the men’s game, that’s when the gap closed,” MacLeod said, referring to the NHL welcoming European players in the 1970s, and eventually Russians in the late ’80s. “Right now, there’s too much of a resource gap. It’s not a knock on any federation. It’s just the reality of the situation,” added MacLeod, a defender on Canada’s ...

White Sox star Anderson ejected from game against Giants

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago White Sox star Tim Anderson was ejected from Wednesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants after appearing to claim he was quick-pitched by Logan Webb.With a 1-2 count in the third inning, Anderson was in the batter’s box but not settled into his stance when Webb began his delivery with 11 seconds left on the pitch clock. Anderson stepped out and was already walking toward the home dugout when Webb threw strike three down the middle. It was unclear if Anderson tried to call timeout.Plate umpire D.J. Reyburn called Anderson out on strikes, and Anderson then turned back toward Reyburn to argue. Anderson pointed at his eyes several times, then shouted several profanities from the dugout. He was ejected as teammate Luis Robert Jr. got called out on strikes.The ejection was Anderson’s first this season and eighth of his career.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

DENVER (KDVR) -- It's the sheer brazenness that stands out when the Problem Solvers reviewed surveillance video of shoplifters provided by the Castle Rock Police Department.Again and again, the thieves made no effort to disguise their crimes, whether it was a couple grabbing an armload of clothes from a Polo store in Castle Rock, a trio of shoplifters taking all the sunglasses they could steal from a Sunglass Hut in Aurora or a gang of four people walking into an Ulta Beauty store in Lone Tree to load up their baskets with whatever they could carry.Other than perhaps wearing a COVID face mask, the shoplifters were not discrete about what they did and were usually in and out of the store in 60 seconds. Nearly half of Denver crime in 2023 is vehicle-related While big chain retailers tend to be the targets of organized retail theft rings, small businesses have been hit too, including the Sports Fan on Denver's 16th Street Mall.Sports apparel store hit regularly during pandemicStore o...
