Buffalo Sabres make history in bizarre win over Carolina Hurricanes: The Buffalo Sabres will take wins any way they can get them. You won't find anyone in the Sabres room complaining about the, ummm, unique finish in their 4-2 win over the visiting Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Transgender former CFL player says attending B.C. Lions ceremony as authentic self was 'euphoric': When the B.C. Lions said they were going to honour their 2000 Grey Cup championship this fall during a halftime ceremony at B.C. Place, Maven Maurer was excited but anxious. Maurer had been a member of the plucky underdog team, the first to ever win the CFL championship after finishing the regular season with a sub-.500 record. The days leading up to the Sept. 13 ceremony were a roller-coaster. Maurer hesitated to buy a plane ticket until the day before the ceremony, unsure if attending the event as a transgender woman was a good idea.

Holy smokes! I had no idea that Maurice went that far back. Very cool.
I knew Maurice was significantly older than Henri (15 years), but it kind of blew me away when I checked his start year.
Interestingly, Henri was a Leap Year (Leap Day?) baby (Feb 29, 1936)

Rickey is a sure thing for Heaven. The Devil could never catch him.
If need be, he'll steal his way past the Pearly Gates.
Rickey's passing has rattled me. Gone too soon.

I'm in agreement, rcade.
I can't see this happening in the NFL, at all.
Good for her, living her true life.
And good job, B.C. Lions, both present, and former players & staff, for being so welcoming.
