Shoresy Classic Brings Laughs and Legends to Rogers Arena with the Vancouver Canucks Alumni
The Shoresy Classic rolled into Rogers Arena on January 26, 2026, and Vancouver showed up ready to laugh, cheer, and give back. The charity game pitted the TV cast of Shoresy against a loaded Canucks Alumni lineup, with partial proceeds benefiting the Canucks Alumni Foundation. With two periods, one fake fight and a shootout, it was pure chaos in the best way.
The Canucks Alumni edged the Shoresy cast 10–9 in a game that never took itself too seriously. The building buzzed from puck drop to the final laugh. Fans leaned into the jokes, the chirps, and the nostalgia.
Vancouver’s bench had serious star power. Dave Babych, Stan Smyl, and Jyrki Lumme handled coaching duties. On the ice, it was a parade of familiar names: Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Geoff Courtnall, Cliff Ronning, Greg Adams, Chris Higgins, Kyle Wellwood, Kirk McLean, Adrian Aucoin, Eddie Läck, Mike Sillinger, Doug Lynch, Jim Vandermeer, Dave Tomlinson, and more. Meghan Agosta, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, stole the moment in the shootout with a smooth finish that brought the house down. Chad Brownlee joined the fun too.
The Sedins playing together again was the headline. Seven years had passed since fans last saw the twins share the ice so it felt special. At one point, the twins swapped jerseys with brothers Jordan and Brandon Nolan and played a shift for each other’s teams. There was no mercy, just laughs.
The format kept things loose with two periods only. A staged fight closed the first period and drew the lone “penalty” of the night. Before the second, a shootout added drama. When the Alumni team hit ten goals, the deal kicked in and the Shoresy boys’ shirts came off. The crowd clearly approved.
The game stick went to Mike Brown from the alumni squad, presented by Terry Ryan. It marked a strong moment after Brown’s recent health battle.
After the final horn, the Shoresy cast stayed more than an hour, signing autographs and taking photos with fans.
Vancouver closed out the Classic series, with big names, big laughs, and even bigger hearts. Shoresy streams on Crave and Hulu, and if this night proved anything, it’s that the cast can play, and they know how to put on a show!

PWHL Boston Fleet falls short to Ottawa Charge in Game Two of the Walter Cup Playoffs
The PWHL playoffs are in full swing with all four teams battling it out to win the coveted Walter Cup. Boston and Ottawa are in for a tough battle this series as both teams have battled well all season. All of their season matches have ended in either a shootout or overtime, with Ottawa taking the season series over the Fleet. But playoffs are a whole different story.
Game one went to the Fleet, 2-1 in a hard fought battle. Both teams are well balanced and feature the goalie battle of fellow Northeastern goalies Aerin Frankel and Gwyneth Philips. So this series is going to be a fun one for sure.
Game two, took place at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, MA on May 2, and the energy was high to a sellout crowd of rowdy Fleet faithful. Though the Ottawa Charge flipped the script in Game 2, skating into Boston and taking down the Fleet 3-1 to even the series.
Ottawa wasted no time setting the tone. Defenseman Ronja Savolainen opened the scoring in the first period, firing a shot through traffic that beat Boston goaltender Aerin Frankel and quieted the home crowd early. Though fans did not give up on their team.
Energy was high and the battles were rough. Boston was heavily outshooting Ottawa, but they simply couldn’t solve Philips’ brilliant goaltending. Even with a few powerplay opportunities the Fleet were given throughout the game, they could not capitalize on them. The Charge kept their foot on the gas in the second. Just minutes into the period, Fanuza Kadirova capitalized on sustained pressure, snapping home a shot to extend the lead to 2-0 and put Boston on its heels. But Boston wasn’t going down quietly.
Time was winding down in the second period, but it was captain Megan Keller who delivered a spark to the Fleet, jumping into the rush and burying a clutch goal with seconds left to cut the deficit to 2-1 and breathe life back into the building. Fans were going crazy and the energy was unmatched.
Going into the third there was hope for a tying goal with numerous scoring opportunities and zone time for the Fleet, but they simply couldn’t solve Philips, who made miraculous save after save to give Ottawa the edge. Gabbie Hughes converted an empty-netter goal with 1:30 remaining, deciding the game for Ottawa, who would walk away with a 3-1 win over Boston.
Game three is set for May 8th in Ottawa at 7pm est. It is sure to be another tight battle. Game 4 will be on Sunday May 10th in Ottawa at 3pm, and game 5 if needed will be back in Boston on Tuesday May 12th at 7pm.

NSL Ottawa Rapid FC Put On A Show For Home Opener Against Calgary Wild FC
The Northern Super League returns to the nation’s capital for the 2026 season as the Ottawa Rapid FC kick off their home opener against the Calgary Wild FC.
Celebrating Pride Night, Rapid FC delivered an outstanding performance for their home fans with a 5-2 victory over Wild FC.
With NSL Co-founder Diana Matheson in attendance for the ceremonial coin toss, Rapid FC didn’t waste any time to open the scoring. With only 35 seconds played, Melanie Forbes would score the first goal of the game off a rebounded shot from Delaney Baie Pridham.
However, Wild FC would go on an offensive push for the next 10 minutes and secure two goals back to back to take the lead. The first goal to tie the game would come from a penalty kick from Meggie Dougherty Howard after a foul by Rapid FC captain Olivia Scott. Just one minute later Howard would then assist Taegan Stewart for Wild FC’s second goal of the game to take a 2-1 lead.
The lead wouldn’t last long. In the 25th minute, Ottawa native and celebrating her 23rd birthday, Keera Melenhorst scored a top corner goal assisted by Florence Belzile to tie the game. Belzile would then get a goal for herself soon after to regain the lead 3-2. Thanks to an unforced error between Wild FC goalie Molly Race and her defenders, Melenhorst was able to secure a brace and extend the Rapid FC lead to 4-2 before the half as fans sang her happy birthday from the stands.
To cap off the night, Choo Hyojoo would make an exclamation and score Rapid FC’s 5th goal of the day off a through ball from Melenhorst.
While Wild FC had a good start to the first half, they were unable to get past Rapid FC goalie Melissa Dagenais in the second half who made save after save. The depth from Rapid FC was on full display with their solid defense lead by captain Scott, fast wingers in Forbes, Belzile and Hyojoo, and dominant midfield with Pridham and Melenhorst.
Ottawa Rapid FC move up the standings to 4th and will face Vancouver on May 6th at TD Place, Ottawa.
Calgary Wild FC will return to Calgary and look to get their first win of the season against the Montreal Roses on May 16th.
