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!

NSL Vancouver Rise Boost Playoff Hopes with Victory Over Calgary Wild
Vancouver Rise FC have ended their season on a high note and improved their chances of
reaching the playoffs after defeating Calgary Wild FC 3-2 at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, BC. The Rise delivered under pressure thanks to a beautiful goal from Mia Pante as well as a much-needed second-half strike from Jessica DeFilippo.
The Rise marked the scoresheet twice in the first half, leading the Wild 2 to nil at the 35-minute mark after Alex Lamontagne connected with Pante who cleared the goalkeeper and calmly hit the back of the net.
Calgary responded before halftime, however, as Josie Aulicino found the net with a strike from outside the penalty area, cutting the deficit to 2-1 and keeping halting what at times looked like a runaway train.
Calgary largely dominated the second half, forcing Vancouver onto their back feet. Vancouver was pinned in their own zone, unwillingly defending their lead as Calgary took shot after shot on goal. A quiet crowd got to their feet for their Captain Shannon Woeller who made her first appearance of the season in the 88-minute mark, leaving the bench to steady the team in the final few minutes.
Despite the early charge, Vancouver managed to record the win and take the points, if in a
somewhat anxiety-filled final 45. The three points keep the Rise in the playoff conversation, with the final result to be decided Monday as Halifax faces off against AFC Toronto.

WWE Monday Night Raw Keeps the Momentum Rolling in Ottawa
WWE Monday Night Raw rolled into Ottawa on August 24 with plenty of moving pieces and a clear focus on building toward the next major chapters for both the men’s and women’s divisions. From LA Knight’s confrontation with Roman Reigns to Stephanie Vaquer’s return, a World Heavyweight Championship tournament, and a heated Oba Femi-Bron Breakker contract signing, the episode packed a lot into three hours without losing sight of its bigger stories.
This was a busy, storyline-heavy episode built almost entirely around momentum heading toward Sunday Night’s Main Event on September 6. LA Knight opened the show by calling out World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, only for Solo Sikoa to interrupt and thank Knight for backing him up the previous week, before the Usos showed up and set a tag match in motion for later in the night. That opening angle paid off with a hard-hitting brawl, and the show closed with Knight, Sikoa, and both Usos left laid out while returning duo Royce Keys and OTM stood tall over the wreckage.
In the ring, the standout was Stephanie Vaquer‘s return match against Roxanne Perez, which saw Judgment Day interference from Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez met by a counter from Becky Lynch. Vaquer sealed the win by dodging a moonsault and connecting with a butterfly backbreaker into a lungblower combo, and the post-match staredown with Lynch added a nice extra layer of tension. It fed directly into the next chapter of her title chase, with Vaquer told backstage that she’ll get her shot at Liv Morgan‘s Women’s World Championship on the September 7 RAW.
The tournament for a World Heavyweight Championship shot also moved forward, with Penta defeating LA Parka and Rey Fenix defeating Dragon Lee to set up a Penta-vs-Fenix final. The Penta/Parka match got a nice reaction, as Parka survived a Penta Driver and answered with a top-rope Spanish Fly before Penta eventually got the win.
The other big story beat was the contract signing for Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker. Breakker accused Femi of taking the spot he used to hold and vowed to make him live in his shadow, while Femi shot back that Breakker could’ve been the future of WWE in a different era, just not while he’s around. The segment boiled over into a physical confrontation, with Breakker jumping Femi before Austin Theory got involved, and Femi eventually powering back to put Theory through a table.
Overall, this felt like a well-paced go-home-style episode even though the pay-per-view is still two weeks out: hot angles up top and at the close, a satisfying tournament advancement, and a women’s division storyline that’s clearly building toward something bigger
