Journalist Harrison Faulkner highlighted soaring costs—like $4,478 to $7,371 per season and $1,000-plus for goalie gear—that make hockey tough for average families, amid a 35% drop in under-18 registrations from 2009 to 2022. While total players reached a record 603,000 in 2024-25 thanks to growth in women's hockey, critics worry elite pipelines are thinning as U.S. numbers catch up, and point to rinks like Toronto's Weston Lions Arena facing demolition. The discussion splits between calls for government subsidies to keep the sport accessible and pushback favoring tax cuts over funding tied to past scandals.

Key Takeaway

Connor McDavid clutched tournament MVP honors after Canada's heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to the U.S. in the 2026 Milano Cortina gold medal final. The narrow defeat quickly turned attention to why fewer Canadian kids are lacing up skates.

Clips recirculated from TikTok show moments like a woman grinding against a boy or straddling and kissing another on the mouth for nearly two minutes, described by some as mother-son interactions though relationships remain unconfirmed. Reactions split sharply: many call it grooming or abuse, highlighting double standards compared to criticism faced by Nigerian skitmaker Carter Efe for playing with his daughter last year. Defenders argue mouth-kissing can be normal family affection depending on context and culture, as long as it stays non-sexual, prompting calls for equal scrutiny to protect all children.

Videos of women in revealing outfits hugging and kissing young boys tightly have left many viewers stunned, questioning where family love ends and discomfort begins.

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize presidential tariffs, invalidating Trump's broad levies on imports from many countries that had generated $130 billion. Trump brushed it off in a White House briefing, signing an executive order for a new 10% global tariff under the Trade Act of 1974—later raised to 15%—while calling critics like Hakeem Jeffries low IQ and praising dissenting justices. He urged Republicans to stick together amid private GOP relief over the decision and Democratic cheers for checking executive power, as refund lawsuits pile up ahead of midterms.

Key Takeaway

Hours after a Supreme Court smackdown on his global tariffs, President Trump turned to Truth Social to blast fellow Republicans as disloyal and demand they unite to win.
