VICTORIA -- The Six Nations Chiefs 17-year championship drought at the Mann Cup is over. Cody Jamieson scored a hat trick and had four assists as Six Nations defeated the Victoria Shamrocks 8-5 on Friday to win the best-of-seven series 4-2 at Canadas senior lacrosse championship. Kasey Beirnes had two goals for the Chiefs, while Steven Keogh, Colin Doyle and Craig Point added singles. Cory Conway scored twice for Victoria, with Nolan Heavenor, Scott Ranger and Jeff Shattler rounding out the scoring. Brandon Miller made 40 saves for Six Nations, while Matt Vinc stopped 33 shots for Victoria. Beirnes opened the scoring on the power play 1:46 into the first period. A goal by Jamieson made it 2-0, but Conway scored both of his goals to tie the game before the end of the period. Six Nations once again went on the attack in the second with goals by Keogh and Beirnes, but Victoria replied with three of their own to take the lead. The Chiefs offence exploded in the third, highlighted by a pair of goals from Jamieson to secure Six Nations first Mann Cup title since 1996. That last championship, won in a 4-0 sweep against Victoria, was the last of three straight by the Chiefs. Jackson Martinez Colombia Jersey .

There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season.

Jackson Martinez Jersey . Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks.Two months ago, if you had told 16-year-old Sura Yekka that she would be a member of Canadas womens national team, she wouldnt have believed such a thing was possible. “I wouldnt have expected it. I would have been, like, ‘Oh, thats a good joke!” said Yekka on Wednesday. “It was crazy…I went to the Canada - U.S. game (in June) and I was a fan and then, within a couple of months, Im now part of the team…its just unreal,” she explained, trying to put into context how much her soccer career has changed in such a short period of time. It would be completely understandable if Yekka was overwhelmed by it all. Players who she grew up idolizing, the likes of Christine Sinclair and Diana Matheson, are now her teammates. But she isnt. In fact, shes taking it all in her stride. “When Im a little awestruck, its more off the field. But when Im on the field, Im like ‘These are my teammates, like ‘Im in the zone now”, said Yekka. Once she steps over the white line and the ball comes out, shes in her element. Yekka has all of the characteristics that you look for in a modern fullback: she is quick, agile, technically sound and has good natural instincts for when to jump into the attack. The area of her game that still needs work - which is understandable, given her age and relative inexperience - is her reading of the game and her positional awareness. Those can be taught and, the more time Yekka spends with the womens team andd its coaching staff, the more she will improve in these areas.dddddddddddd Over the next six months, Yekka will be preparing for the FIFA U-20 Womens World Cup, being held in Canada. With venues in Edmonton, Moncton, Montreal and Toronto, Yekka is excited about the prospect of playing in front of family and friends. “Its going to be a dream come true. The amount of people who are going to be there and knowing that your friends and family are going to be in the crowd and knowing that, no matter what, people are going to be there to support you…its going to be absolutely crazy. Its going to be so exciting,” she enthused. Aside from the thrill of playing in the U-20 World Cup, Yekka also sees the tournament as an opportunity to stake a claim to a place in the senior squad for the World Cup in 2015. “I feel like I need to do the best that I can to gain as much World Cup experience because everyone on the senior team has World Cup experience, no matter what level they have…and I feel like Im the only one thats lacking it so I feel like I need that. The fact that its home makes me more determined to do well,” said Yekka. That determination should see Yekkas star continue to shine. If she performs as well as she has shown in recent months, it will go a long way towards securing a spot on the senior team for the main event in 2015. So youd better get used to hearing Sura Yekkas name - I suspect youll be hearing it a great deal for years to come.
