Comment on Mike Modano Retires After 21 Seasons in N.H.L.

Colorado Rapids center back Michael Edwards will get a chance to crack the rotation in 2025. The club announced Monday that it re-signed the 24-year-old to a one-year deal with an option for 2026. His previous contract had an option for 2025, which was declined in November. With more center backs inbound than outbound on a team already heavy in defensive numbers, the move indicates Edwards will have another shot at more minutes this year. The Homegrown, who had to wait nearly three-and-a-half seasons since signing with the Rapids to make his debut, made the most of his 207 minutes in 2024.

Organizers campaigning to unionize ski patrollers are touting their momentum following the settlement of a strike at Utah’s Park City Mountain Resort and a vote last week in favor of forming a union at Arapahoe Basin.

Bo Nix didn’t just play in every game his rookie season. He played through injury, too. The Denver quarterback sustained three transverse process fractures in his back during Denver’s Nov. 24 win at Las Vegas, he said Monday after the Broncos’ season ended. Nix said he got “twisted up” during the game against Las Vegas and sustained the fractures. He finished the game and then played against Cleveland on Monday Night Football in early December before the team’s bye week.

Troy Renck: The Broncos delivered a feel-good season, so how come Sunday made us feel so sick? Denver making the playoffs is akin to getting accepted into med school. It is an impressive accomplishment, but now comes the hard part: becoming a doctor. Or in the Broncos’ case, a true contender.

The Broncos’ season is over, but hiring season is just ramping up. Denver defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is set to interview with the Las Vegas Raiders for their open head coaching job, a source confirmed to The Post on Monday morning. Joseph, 52, is also slated to interview for the New York Jets later this week. Both the Raiders and the Jets are also in the midst of general manager searches, too.
