‘As a kid you always dream': Edmonton Elks who grew up watching the green and gold excited for upcoming season
Edmonton Elks' Jalen Tolliver (88), Danny Vandervoort (83), David Beard (57) and Walter Fletcher (25) celebrate Vandervoort's touchdown during second half CFL action in Edmonton on Friday, November 5, 2021 (The Canadian Press/Jason Franson). While the Edmonton Elks home opener last weekend didn't go as the team hoped, it still felt special for a few of the players who grew up watching the green and gold. 'It's a treat, it's something to be really, really excited about. I got all kinds of guys around me now that are guys who I got an unbelievable amount of belief in and it's just great to be back and have that excitement and that juice flowing again,' Elks offensive lineman David Beard said Wednesday before the home opener. He may not be a household name, but Beard has a hand in every Elks' touchdown. This year, he's back anchoring the offensive line after spending the past two seasons with the Hamilton Tiger Cats. The offensive lineman isn't playing too far from home, he grew up in Sherwood Park and played in Edmonton between 2015 and 2022. 'It's going to be fun, it's going to be a real treat to play in front of the fans and I hope they're as excited as we are,' said Beard. The same excitement is being felt by two other locals—Josiah Schakel and Mark Korte grew up watching the Elks win Grey Cups from opposite sides of the Edmonton area. 'It means a lot to me to play here. It's very important to me that this team is successful and that we have good results, especially at home,' Korte said last week. Schakel is from Sherwood Park while Korte was born in Spruce Grove. 'It's a whole experience for somebody who watched the team growing up, as a kid you always dream 'I want to play for the Eskimos one day'—or the Elks now, but actually doing it is another thing,' Schakel said during Sunday practice. Schakel said he's witnessed the history of the team winning with thousands of people in the stands at Commonwealth Stadium and feels 'incredible' to be on the field representing the team. The players say they're excited to show a new and improved product on the field after a few down years for the franchise. The Elks take on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday. The team will return home to host Ottawa the first weekend of July. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Evan Kenny

Create Account Nathan Saliba put Canada ahead in the ninth minute from inside the penalty area. The 21-year-old, playing in his fifth international match, scored for the second game in a row. Antonisse tied the score in the 94th. Jurgen Locadia's apparent goal in the 68th minute was disallowed for offside after a video review. Canada, which started the tournament with a 6-0 win over Honduras, has four points and leads Group B on goal difference over Honduras, which beat El Salvador 2-0 on goals by Romell Quioto in the 33rd minute and Dixon Ramirez in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time. Curacao has two points and El Salvador one. Seeking their second Gold Cup title and first since 2000, the Canadians close the group stage against El Salvador in Houston on Tuesday, when Honduras plays Curacao in San Jose, California. Canada is missing star winger Alphonso Davies, who tore his right ACL during the CONCACAF Nations League third-place game against the U.S. on March 23.

Clock ticking on Ottawa Senators to sign alternate captain Claude Giroux
The clock is ticking on Claude Giroux and the Ottawa Senators. Article content Ten days to the opening of National Hockey League free agency, and the veteran winger remains unsigned. That doesn't mean it won't happen, but curiously the Senators haven't yet agreed to a deal with the 37-year-old forward. Article content Article content Talks have been held regularly, and sources say the Senators remain 'hopeful' that Giroux will be back next season. He signed with Ottawa in 2022 to help get the club back into the Stanley Cup playoffs, which it did in 2025, and there are better days ahead. Article content Article content Dave Poulin, the Senators' senior vice-president of hockey operations, told season-ticket holders at a summit earlier this month at the Canadian Tire Centre that the Senators wanted to keep Giroux. Article content Article content 'He's a huge part of our hockey team, and he's brought so much to the community,' Poulin said. 'We love Claude Giroux as an Ottawa Senator, and he loves being an Ottawa Senator. Negotiations continue. That's all I have.' Article content Steve Staios, the team's president of hockey operations and general manager, made similar remarks. Article content With free agency approaching, it may be time to show genuine affection in negotiations with Giroux. The closer this gets to July 1, the more danger there is that he'll head to the open market, and one executive has told Postmedia that the Montreal Canadiens could show interest. Article content Because the Senators want Giroux back and he wants to return, that's one hurdle cleared. Article content Article content Now they must work out the details, which is expected to be a one-year contract. Article content Article content The belief in NHL circles is that Giroux's camp is likely using the $4 million that Ottawa winger David Perron will make in the final year of his deal as a comparable. That makes sense: Giroux finished with 15 goals and 35 assists for 50 points in 81 games last season. Article content Postmedia has spoken with several league executives in recent weeks, and they agreed that Giroux's next deal should have a base salary in the $3-million U.S. range plus achievable bonuses that could allow him to make between $4.5 million and $5 million. Article content Though a report by Hockey Night in Canada's Elliotte Friedman said the two sides were trying to come up with a 'bonus structure,' Postmedia has been told they've yet to agree on the amount of the base salary.
