| MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica -- Zoe Redei scored her fifth goal of the CONCACAF U-17 Womens World Championships, and Mallory Pugh added another as the United States downed Canada 2-0 to win Group B on Monday. Canada may have lost more than just the game, however. Late in the second half, Canadian defender Mika Richards was carted off the field on a stretcher after colliding with Pugh. Richards, who appeared to get a hold of Pughs jersey as both players went down, was called for a foul in the Canadian penalty area and midfielder Marley Canales took the shot for the Americans after seven minutes of stoppage time. Richards was given a yellow card for the foul, and Canada was forced to play the remainder of the match with 10 players as it had already used all of its substitutes. After the game, head coach Bev Priestman said Richards had undergone x-rays as a "precautionary measure" but the team had not yet received an update on her condition. The U.S. will play Mexico in the semifinal on Thursday, with the winner earning a spot in the 2014 FIFA U-17 Womens World Cup. Canada will play Jamaica for the second U-17 World Cup berth in the other semifinal. Priestman says the loss against the U.S. will help her team going forward. "We got what we expected from the U.S. ... high aggressive pressure, which is something these girls havent yet experienced from their previous two internationals in this championship," Priestman said. "It can only help us going in to the semifinal against Jamaica, which will be a tough match physically."

DETROIT -- Doug Weight recalled his father putting him on skates at the age of 2 because he could barely walk due to a childhood condition that relegated him to wearing braces on his legs. "He started putting me on the ice to strengthen them at the suggestion from a doctor," he said. Weight said it wasnt a pretty sight at the rink in St. Clair Shores, Mich. "I looked like Forrest Gump," he joked. Four decades later, Weight was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. The Stanley Cup champion, three-time Olympian and four-time NHL All-Star was inducted Monday night at the Motor City Casino -- in the city where he grew up. "Its ironic," the Detroiter said. "Pretty special." Weight was honoured along with former teammate Bill Guerin, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, three-time Olympian and four-time All-Star. "Its very special, three different NHL teams and nine teams in all," Weight said about the number of times he teamed up with Guerin. "Its a pretty incredible run together. "Its icing on the cake to go in with Billy." Weight and Guerins wives and children have become friends over the years, going on vacations together and sharing holidays as families. "It couldnt have worked out any better," Guerin said. Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos, former college coach Ron Mason and Cindy Curley, one of the pioneers in womens hockey, also were inducted. USA Today Hockey Writer Kevin Allen was also given the Lester Patrick Trophy for outstanding service to hockey in the U.S. at the event. Weight and Guerin began their friendship before they were in the NHL and grew closer while playing together for the Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues and New York Islanders. They also teamed up to play for their country on more than once occasion, including the 2002 Winter Olympics wheen they helped the Americans take the silver medal.dddddddddddd Weight, who won a Stanley Cup in 2006 with the Carolina Hurricanes, had 278 career goals and 1,033 points from the 1991-92 season through the 2010-11 season. He is an assistant coach for the New York Islanders. Guerin hoisted Cups in 1995 with the New Jersey Devils and in 2009 with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The native of Massachusetts had 429 goals and 856 points in his career that started during the same season as Weight and ended one year earlier. Guerin is a player development coach for the Penguins. Karmanos fell in love hockey when his children began playing the sport, but laments that a lot of kids cant afford to play the game. He said ice cost about $40 an hour when his children were growing up and now costs $300 for the same period of time. Sticks and skates, he said, also are much more expensive. "One of the things that holds us back as a sport is it costs too much," Karmanos said. "Were pricing a lot of people out of the game." Mason led Michigan State and Lake Superior State to national titles and also coached at Bowling Green. He also was an athletic director for the Spartans. "This isnt something you dream about," he said. "If youve put a lot of years in, like I did, as a player and a coach and of course AD, its nice to be rewarded at the end of it." Curley had a record 23 points in the International Ice Hockey Federations first world championship for women in 1990. "The womens game is way behind the mens game and it hasnt been around as long," she said. "We are all, as women, patient for the opportunities that the guys have had. The fact that the Hall is considering women is exciting to me. I know theres so many great players that deserve to be in here that will be. Im just honoured that they considered me." ' ' ' |
