NEW YORK— In a game the Washington Capitals could ill afford to lose, it seemed counterintuitive that Alex Ovechkin would record a new career low for ice time in a single postseason contest. But when the Capitals needed someone to step up and break a tie in the third period of Game 2, it was Ovechkin who came through against the New York Rangers.

  • Mines football coach Pete Sterbick resigns, Yon Boone named interim coach
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 01/21/2025 - 03:52 PM

    A Golden opportunity just opened up with the Colorado School of Mines football program. Again. For the second time in three years, the Orediggers are looking for a new head football coach. Pete Sterbick, who just completed his second season at the helm, resigned his position, the university announced Tuesday. Special teams coach Yon Boone will serve as Mines’ interim coach, the school said in a news release, while continuing a search for Sterbick’s replacement. Several outlets reported Tuesday that Sterbick will join Montana State, the reigning FCS runners-up, as offensive coordinator. Sterbick posted a 22-4 record in two seasons as Mines coach and led the Orediggers to a school-record 14 wins and a berth in the Division II national championship game in December 2023. “I have loved being at Mines for the past six years, this is truly an incredible place,” Sterbick said via a university news release.
