Curling officials will apply to add mixed doubles to the Olympic program in time for the Pyeongchang Games in South Korea in 2018. Since returning to the Olympics in 1998, two curling events have been contested at each games -- the mens and womens competitions. The World Curling Federation made a tentative bid in 2005 to include mixed doubles on the Olympic program for the 2010 Vancouver Games, but it was rejected because the discipline hadnt spread globally. However, WCF president Kate Caithness said "mixed doubles is part of our sport that has taken off around the world," with the governing body spending the last eight years developing the spread to meet the technical requirements for Olympic admission. The application will be made after next years Sochi Games and decision will be reached by the IOC in 2015. If it is accepted, mixed doubles would be a 16-team competition. "It would allow other countries who wouldnt perhaps have the chance of going to the Olympics with a full mens team and full womens team to take part in the Olympics," Caithness told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "We have mixed doubles in world championships so we have done our homework. Hopefully it will appeal to the IOC." Caithness said the discipline would fit "in the same venue, in the same timeframe and with the same officials" as the mens and womens events. Hungary is the current world champion in mixed doubles.

Off-Season Game Plan looks at a Wild team that has a nice mix of proven veterans along with young, inexpensive talent on the rise. When the Wild signed Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, making a big splash in the summer of 2012, it set the franchise on a path to being more competitive, but a big reason that they have been so competitive is the contributions of young players who still have more to give.

Colorado was shut out by Minnesota in its first two games of the season and had a 1-4-1 mark after six outings. It was a far cry from 2013-14 when rookie head coach Patrick Roy led the club to a 12-1-0 mark out of the gate en route to a surprise Central Division title. Although the Avalanche have only won twice over the last five games, they enter Saturday riding a point streak with a 2-0-3 mark to end October. Colorados best effort of the season likely came in its last game, as the Avs recorded a 5-0 win in Thursdays meeting with the visiting New York Islanders. Semyon Varlamov stopped all 40 shots he faced to record his first shutout of the season, and Nathan MacKinnon added a pair of second-period goals. Both players were big parts of last seasons run to the playoffs, with MacKinnon winning the Calder Trophy and Varlamov garnering a Vezina finalist spot. MacKinnon led all NHL rookies with 63 points last season and was tied for the lead with 24 goals. He scored his first two goals of 2014-15 on Thursday. Tonight was a huge win. And our goaltender was an MVP tonight, MacKinnon said. Erik Johnson, Marc-Andre Cliche and Cody McLeod also provided offense for the Avalanche. With Colorado also set to play Sundays home game versus Anaheim, Varlamov could get a rest this weekend from backup Reto Berra. The Blues, meanwhhile, will go with Brian Elliott in net as the club tries to extend its season-high winning streak to four games.dddddddddddd After picking up consecutive wins over Chicago and Dallas, the Blues kept their hot streak going with Thursdays 2-0 victory over visiting Anaheim. Jake Allen made 24 saves to record his second career shutout, while Alexander Steen and Ryan Reaves scored the games only goals. St. Louis has played its best hockey of the season of late despite dealing with injuries to key players as well as a bacterial infection that has spread throughout the team. Center Paul Stastny has missed the last five games with a sprained left shoulder, while fellow forwards David Backes and T.J. Oshie sat out Thursday and are both sidelined indefinitely with concussions. Blues center Joakim Lindstrom is questionable for Saturday after becoming the latest St. Louis player to catch an illness. Lindstrom sat out Thursdays win due to flu-like symptoms. Every team in the League is going to have losses (to injuries) all season long, and unfortunately we have them right now, Allen said after his teams win over the Ducks. Elliott is 3-2-1 with a 1.98 goals against average this season, and he has the same exact record and a 2.81 GAA in six career games against Colorado. St. Louis won three of four encounters against the Avs in 2013-14, but Colorado earned a 4-0 victory when the clubs last met on April 5. That win halted Colorados five-game road losing streak against the Blues, but St. Louis has claimed six of the last nine meetings overall Cheap Stitched Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Discount Jerseys Wholesale NFL Hoodies Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Throwback Jerseys ' ' '
