The Kingston Frontenacs will not be hosting the 2024 edition of the Memorial Cup, with the selection committee instead choosing the Saginaw Spirit in Michigan.This will be the first time since 1998 that an American CHL team has hosted the Memorial Cup and the first time ever for an OHL team based in the USA. In a statement on Wednesday, the Frontenacs said they were disappointed in the decision because despite the strength of all four team’s -Niagara, Sault Ste. Marie, Saginaw, and Kingston- bids, they felt they had a winning combination in their own.“The Kingston Frontenacs would like to congratulate the Spirit and understand the difficult decision the Selection Community had to make with four great cities bidding for the right to host the event,” the statement reads.“The Kingston Frontenacs and our city are disappointed with this announcement as we feel Kingston checked all the boxes needed to not only host the 2024 Memorial Cup, but win the prestigious tro...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 07:56:00 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The hopes of American men’s tennis rest largely on the talented rackets of Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.But a Spanish roadblock named Carlos Alcaraz is in the way – never more illustrated by the last few days at the Miami Open.Two days after routing the Australian Open semifinalist Paul, the top-ranked Alcaraz took his spectacular arsenal to the highest-ranked American man in No. 10 Fritz and blasted into the semifinals with a 6-4, 6-2 victory at Hard Rock Stadium.Before a packed crowd that included John McEnroe and was split in support, Alcaraz broke Fritz’s serve in the first game. He used that one break to squeak out the first set and finished the match in tidy 1 hour, 18 minutes. Alcaraz faced just two break points and turned away both chances as he improved his match record to 18-1 in 2023.“I took the opportunity of every break point I had,” the Spaniard said. “I was solid and aggressive at the same time.”This was the first meeting between the two and ...

No sex please, we’re British tourists in Amsterdam

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 07:56:00 GMT

Welcome to Declassified, a weekly humor column.Terrible news for the summer holiday plans of the Friends of Boris Johnson Association … Amsterdam no longer wants rowdy British tourists.The authorities in the Dutch city, famous for its easy access to drugs and sex and absolutely nothing else (the Rijksmuseum? Never heard of it!), have had enough of badly behaved groups and launched a campaign to encourage them to go somewhere else instead. People who Google terms such as “stag party Amsterdam,” “cheap hotel Amsterdam” or “pub crawl Amsterdam” ahead of a visit to the Dutch city will have to sit through short videos stressing “the risks and consequences of nuisance and excessive alcohol and drug use,” the city of Amsterdam said in a statement. “Cheap hotel Amsterdam” seems a particularly harsh search term to target seeing as the average price of an overnight stay in the city is one signed Vermeer. “Coming to Amsterdam for a messy night + getting trashed = €140 fine + c...
