SEATTLE (AP) — Hilary Knight doesn’t want to let what she called a “distasteful” joke by President Donald Trump about the gold-medal winning U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team get in the way of a historic performance by American women across all sports at the Milan Cortina Games. “I just thought the joke was distasteful and unfortunate,” Knight said on Wednesday alongside fellow Olympians Alex Carpenter, Hannah Bilka and Cayla Barnes at the Seattle Space Needle ahead of their return to play for the Seattle Torrent of the Professional Women’s Hockey League. “And, I think just the way women are represented,…

By ED WHITE Jeff Galloway, a member of the 1972 U.S. Olympic team who for decades inspired elite athletes and countless everyday runners by promoting a run-walk-run strategy, whether in a marathon or just a neighborhood jog, died Wednesday at age 80. Galloway had a hemorrhagic stroke and died at a hospital in Pensacola, Florida, daughter-in-law Carissa Galloway said. His influence was evident in the final days of his life: Throngs of people posted videos online, hoping for Galloway’s recovery from emergency neurosurgery and thanking him for advice that boosted their confidence and took them to race starting lines. Galloway’s…

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Over the course of his 14-year run with the Red Sox, David Ortiz became a legendary figure in franchise history. The Hall of Famer authored many of the club’s most iconic moments while leading his team to three World Series championships. Needless to say Ortiz recognizes greatness when he sees it, and Big Papi believes big things are ahead for rising Red Sox star Roman Anthony. “He’s the full package,” Ortiz told the Herald. “Great kid, very mature for his age, he wants it and he adjusted himself to this level very fast. I expect him…
INDIANAPOLIS — If you aren’t convinced yet Stefon Diggs might play elsewhere next season, consider this. Two and a half months ago, when Diggs faced strangulation and assault charges that seemed to threaten his immediate football future, the Patriots stood with their star receiver by releasing an atypically strong statement. “We support Stefon,” they wrote. Now, as Diggs’ contract merely clouds their roster-building crystal ball, Mike Vrabel and Eliot Wolf appear to be keeping their distance. The message now is: come what may. “I’m not going to get into any specific players today,” Wolf said this week. “There are certain…
The Boston Celtics finished their four-game road trip Wednesday on the second night of a back-to-back, and they looked like a tired team in Denver. They kept it close throughout the first half, but fell apart in the third quarter as the Nuggets outscored them 30-19 in the frame. Denver pulled away with a 15-0 run from the end of the third into the fourth, and it snapped Boston’s four-game win streak with a 103-84 triumph. The C’s shot just 35 percent from the field, including an uncharacteristic 12-for-43 (28 percent) from 3-point range. Jaylen Brown (23 points) and Derrick…
ARLINGTON – Ahead of its first state tournament game in three years, the Acton-Boxboro girls hockey team – per eighth-grader Laila Randolph’s original suggestion – turned off the lights in the locker room Wednesday night and put on Disney’s famously depicted “Miracle” speech that USA hockey coach Herb Brooks gave to the 1980 men’s Olympic ice hockey team that stunned the Soviet Union. A perfect inspiration for an underdog, and one that partly energized the No. 20 Revolution (16-5-3) to a 2-1 upset win over No. 13 Arlington Catholic in the Div. 1 first-round at Ed Burns Arena. Sophomore Alexis…
The Celtics stalled out in the final game of their Western Conference road trip, losing to the Denver Nuggets 103-84 on Wednesday night. The ugly loss featured Boston’s worst shooting performance of the season, as Joe Mazzulla’s club converted just 34.9% of its field-goal attempts and 27.9% of its 3-pointers. It was the first time a Celtics team shot worse than 35% in a game since December 2022. Jaylen Brown, who returned after sitting out Tuesday’s win in Phoenix with a knee contusion, led the Celtics with 23 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, but he went just 7-for-21 and…

ARLINGTON – Once the hottest team in Div. 1, a four-game skid to close the regular season had the Arlington Catholic boys hockey team trending in the wrong direction heading into a loaded state tournament field. Consider it unfazed. With a 4-1 win over 19th-seeded Chelmsford in a Div. 1 first-round matchup Wednesday night, the No. 14 Cougars (16-6-1) pieced together much of what anchored a 15-game unbeaten streak in the regular season. Four different players scored, including one on a power play. Sparks of energy fueled game-winning plays throughout. The penalty kill was tasked a concerning seven times, but…
