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…

By JOE REEDY The Federal Communications Commission is seeking public comments on the ongoing shift of live sports from broadcast channels to streaming services. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announced the request for comment Wednesday. The comment period runs through March 27 and replies to the comments are due April 13. “For decades, Americans enjoyed turning on their TV & quickly finding the game they wanted to see.

How have the Celtics so emphatically exceeded expectations this season? How has a team most expected to finish somewhere between sixth and 12th in a bad Eastern Conference become, inarguably, one of the NBA’s best through 57 games? One simple explanation: Outside of the small handful of rookies and 10-day contracts at the end of Boston’s bench, nearly every player on its roster is enjoying the best season of his career. A rundown, after the Celtics bludgeoned the Phoenix Suns 97-81 on Tuesday without Jaylen Brown to improve to 38-19 and strengthen their grip on second place in the East: —…
By ADITHI RAMAKRISHNAN NEW YORK (AP) — As he watched the Boston Celtics play from the stands of TD Garden, one noise kept catching Adel Djellouli’s ear. “This squeaking sound when players are sliding on the floor is omnipresent,” he said. “It’s always there, right?” Squeaky shoes are part of the symphony of a basketball game, when rubber soles rasp against the hardwood floors as players jab step, cut and pivot and defenders move their feet to stay in front of their assignment. Returning home from the game, Djellouli wondered how that sound was produced. And as a materials scientist…
After a surprise run to the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots find themselves at a bit of a crossroads. You could make the case that the Patriots should go “all-in” this offseason, spending significant resources to acquire high-end talent via trades or free agency with the explicit goal of getting back to the Super Bowl as soon as possible while quarterback Drake Maye is still on his rookie deal. But you could also make the case for patience: Head coach Mike Vrabel insisted on several occasions that the 2025 season was just Year 1 of a multi-year plan to…
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Baseball has been around for more than 100 years, but when you come to the ballpark there’s always a chance you might see something that’s never happened before. Fans at JetBlue Park witnessed such a moment on Tuesday afternoon when the Red Sox hosted the Pirates. Leading off the bottom of the fourth, Wilyer Abreu almost bit on a Thomas Harrington splitter in the dirt, but managed to check his swing at the last second. Despite not making contact with the ball, the bat broke in Abreu’s hands, snapping in two and leaving him holding what…
For all the young players on the Red Sox who have signed long-term deals (Roman Anthony, Brayan Bello, Ceddanne Rafaela) we haven’t heard much reporting about an extension for Wilyer Abreu. As it turns out, the Sox tried to sign him on the eve of his rookie year. But, unlike Bello and Rafaela, both of whom signed that spring, Abreu decided to take it year-to-year and bet on himself. The Sox have not approached him since, but Abreu says “[he] can listen.” (Tim Healey, Boston Globe)We haven’t seen any reports about a possible extension for Connelly Early either, as the…
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. men’s hockey team visited President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday afternoon and later received about a two-minute bipartisan standing ovation during his State of the Union address that night. Trump also announced that the women’s hockey team, which also defeated Canada to win gold, will “soon” visit the White House. The women’s team had declined an invitation to attend the State of the Union due to the timing of the address. Men’s players entered the House chamber through two sets of doors and walked down the rows of the press gallery.…
As the nation bonded as one over the past two weeks biting nails, screaming at wins, wincing at crashes and choking up at all the beautiful moments of Olympic competition, another group of athletes were – and still are – out honing their multi-level championship skills. I call it the Parent Skiing Olympiad, and let me tell you this: It’s a series of challenging events that requires training, gear selection and management, courage and grit. And just like the Olympics we all watched, success and victory are worth the sweat, tears and, yes, patience. We were at it ourselves this…
