Nobody can accuse two-time Olympic-medallist Malcolm Howard of rowing at low-rate academic institutions. The former Harvard rower from Victoria will stroke Oxford in the storied Boat Race against Cambridge on the Thames.

It’s a quick Interior road-trip and handy Western Hockey League playoff preview all in one.

UVic draws top-ranked Carleton in quarter-finals

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The meagre number of shots Jeff Carter and the rest of the Los Angeles Kings sent toward Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne wasn't much of an issue.

GLENDALE, Ariz. - For Oliver Ekman-Larsson and the Phoenix Coyotes, the encore was as productive as the original.

MINNEAPOLIS - Alonzo Mourning never did it. Shaquille O'Neal didn't, either. Even Dwyane Wade had never won 15 games in a row as a member of the Miami Heat.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The puck ended up on Evgeni Malkin's stick, and Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher could feel a sense of dread. It didn't matter that the Pittsburgh Penguins centre hadn't played in more than a week due to a concussion.

TORONTO - Nazem Kadri and James Reimer kept Toronto in the game on Monday before the rest of the Maple Leafs came alive in the third period.

CLEVELAND - Carmelo Anthony tripped, stumbled and fell. The New York Knicks picked themselves up and won without him. Amare Stoudemire scored 22 points, J.R.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Dusty Baker and Kirk Gibson had a testy exchange — before a pitch was even thrown. The two managers had differing opinions on the designated hitter rule for Monday's game.
