Connor McDavid’s drive to be NHL’s best player starts off the iceVideo

EDMONTON, Alberta — Christian Dedonato doesn’t see Connor McDavid much in the offseason, at least not until at least mid-afternoon. McDavid is too busy working out in the gym or staying sharp on the ice. When the longtime friends get together to skate, surf, kick a soccer ball around or...

Hits keep coming for Norwin grad Alexandra Dillner at Saint Vincent

The Pittsburgh Pirates concluded the first 16 games of their season with as many victories as defeats (eight) and Bryan Reynolds batting .190. If you had listened to the preseason chatter, both facts might be difficult to believe. It doesn’t matter five weeks before Memorial Day and with 90% of...
