Edmonton Oilers fans shouldn’t rule out Connor Ingram returning to the crease for the 2026-27 season. Ingram was acquired by the Oilers from the Utah Mammoth ahead of the 2025-26 season and wound up making 32 regular-season appearances, along with another five starts in the playoffs. In his 32 regular-season appearances, he put up a 2.60 GAA paired with a .899 SV%.

The Edmonton Oilers leadership group made it clear to management that they needed a coach who would push them. Under head coach Kris Knoblauch, and many others before, for that matter, both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl seemed to have a big say in how the team played, and how much they played. That will no longer be the case, as the two big guns, now in their 30s, realize something different needed to happen.

For the first time ever, a host nation at the FIFA World Cup will have to play outside its own borders. After three group-stage matches at home, in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada is heading to Los Angeles for the Round of 32, where they’ll face South Africa.

Canada's getting screwed by FIFA's inflexible World Cup schedule

The highs and lows of the FIFA World Cup were on display for Canada following a 2-1 loss to Switzerland. There was triumph in becoming the first Canadian men’s national team to advance to a World Cup knockout match, but also disappointment in not earning a result to keep Canada in Vancouver for the Round of 32 and potentially the Round of 16 as well.

Canada didn’t win its group like it hoped, after losing to Switzerland on Wednesday. So rather than continue playing in Vancouver, the team will travel to Los Angeles for a Round of 32 match. Until a shocking result on Wednesday evening, everyone assumed that it would be against South Korea. South Africa’s 1-0 upset win over the Koreans changed all that, making them Canada’s next opponent.

Heavy rain this weekend will bring total amounts of 40 to 70 mm. 

Scattered showers and thunderstorms tonight will become a broad area of heavy rain by Saturday morning. The rain will continue through the weekend with the heaviest rain on Saturday.

Some areas may see more rain continuing into next week, but confidence is low at this time.
