What an NCAA rule change might mean for junior hockey in Sask.
Nov 18, 2024
Previously, WHL players were declared ineligible to play NCAA hockey in the U.S.
Canada’s Brianne Theisen-Eaton roared back to win bronze in the women’s heptathlon at the Rio Olympics.
The two-time world silver medallist from Humboldt, Sask., was in sixth place after a rocky Day 1.
But solid long jump and javelin events allowed her to climb up to third spot going into the final event the 800 metres.
Theisen-Eaton finished third in the final 800 heat to finish with 6,653 points.
Belgium’s Nafissatou won gold and 2012 champion Jessica Ennis-Hill took silver.
The medal was Canada’s first in track and field at these Games, and matches the one medal a bronze in high jump by Derek Drouin at the 2012 London Olympics.
