Ethan Belchetz arrives on the red carpet before the NHL hockey draft, Friday, June 26, 2026, in Buffalo, N.Y. | Adrian Kraus When Ethan Belchetz fell outside the top 15 at the NHL draft, Utah Mammoth GM Bill Armstrong knew he had to grab him.Perhaps it was cold feet, or maybe the Mammoth had intel that another team was about to nab Belchetz. Either way, Armstrong and his staff concluded it was in their best interest to move up from pick No. 19 to 17.The Los Angeles Kings, who traded pick No. 17 to the Mammoth, posted a video of the trade call on social media Tuesday.Kenny? answered Armstrong when he picked up Kings GM Ken Hollands call.You want to do the deal? Holland responded (they had discussed a portion of it over text or email beforehand).Yeah, lets do it.You give us pick 83 and we flip 17 and 19, Holland said.Were good, Armstrong confirmed.Moments later, the giant red trade alert flashed on the screen at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, accompanied by the rather jarring sound of a goal horn.The Los Angeles Kings trade pick No. 17 in this years draft to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for picks 19 and 83, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced at the podium in Buffalo.The video goes on to show Holland and his staff landing on their decision for pick No. 19, Swedish winger Elton Hermansson.Your All-Access Pass to the Behind the Scenes of the 2026 NHL Draft Watch the latest episode of Black & White now https://t.co/X4o7EpiKvv@GetSpectrumpic.twitter.com/PiMIYrzw8S LA Kings (@LAKings) August 4, 2026The Kings went on to trade pick No. 83 to the Minnesota Wild for 89 and 153, which they used to select Yegor Rybkin and Giorgos Pantelas.Holland, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020, is a friend of many in the (Mammoth) organization. When he was between jobs in the fall of 2024, the then-Utah Hockey Club invited him to their training camp to check things out.Eight months later, the Kings underwent a GM change, hiring Holland to replace Rob Blake.Who is Ethan Belchetz and why did the Mammoth want him so badly?At 6-foot-5 and having scored more than a point per game in the Ontario Hockey League last season, Belchetz fits Armstrongs drafting MO perfectly.I just wanted to get a player that was kind of my size, so when we did the interview process, I looked thin and skinnier, Armstrong said with a laugh as he sat next to Belchetz for a press conference two days after drafting him.The fact that more than half of his points were goals shows that he can do the hardest thing in hockey, and size is the one thing that even the best coaches cant teach.Belchetzs stature and OHL production are a bit better than Mammoth associate captain Lawson Crouse had in the same league when he was 18. Its reasonable to wonder if he becomes an effective NHL power forward like The Sheriff.Hes committed to Michigan State for next season a program thats loaded with 17 NHL-drafted players, including 2024 fourth-overall pick Cayden Lindstrom and 2026 seventh-overall pick Chase Reid.Thats the way our game is trending, with the big man around the net, Armstrong said. Weve got some speed and skill. Its nice to have that true power forward thats coming into the game that can take that next step to help us win a championship at some point.

Detroit Lions executive vice president and general manager Brad Holmes speaks during media availability at Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026. | USA TODAY Network via Reuters CoWere now a full week into Jahmyr Gibbs hold-in, as he continues to await a new contract from the Detroit Lions. there is optimism a deal could get done soon for Gibbs. However, there havent been any concrete updates on any progress made from the two sides.On Wednesday, Lions general manager Brad Holmes offered some brief thoughts on the situation while doing a radio show on SiriusXM with Pat Kirwan and Jacob Hester.Look, obviously we love Jahmry, Holmes said. Me and Dan (Campbell) have always been believers in that one-two punch. I just think thats how this league is going now. But, you know, were having dialogue. Well see where it goes.Kirwan then offers a reassuring, Itll get there. To which Holmes replies, Thats the hope. "We're having dialogue, we'll see where it goes."Lions GM Brad Holmes on where things stand on the contract negotiations with Jahmyr Gibbs. https://t.co/1S6vayal9l#OnePride I @JacobHester18pic.twitter.com/XJD2s0DcTc SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) August 5, 2026If were being completely honest, this isnt the most reassuring clip in regards to progress between the Lions and Gibbs. But its also in Holmes best interest to not say anything that could impact negotiations. So I wouldnt read too much into this. Still, combine this short clip with Campbells earlier comments that he was surprised a deal hadnt been done by now, and this saga is certainly drawing out longer than most anticipated. Hopefully this entire situation will be in the rear-view mirror soon.

For the last several years, the Chiefs' home stadium has had some branding to go along with its iconic name. Now, that is no more. The organization announced on Wednesday that "G.E.H.A Field" has been dropped from the name of the venue that is going back to being known simply as Arrowhead Stadium. G.E.H.A will continue to be a key partner with the Chiefs.The original naming deal was slated to go through the 2031 season.G.E.H.A is a tremendous partner and this mutual decision reflects a shared commitment to honoring the rich history of Arrowhead Stadium and the Chiefs organization," Chiefs president Mark Donovan said in a statement released by the team. "We are thrilled to continue working with G.E.H.A on all of the key community, military, and veteran-focused programs that they have helped us bring to life over the years."Together with the Chiefs, we made the decision to return the stadium to its iconic Arrowhead identity, honoring the legacy, tradition, and community pride it represents," Raj Vanilla, G.E.H.A's EVP growth and strategy, said in a statement. "We are proud to have been part of this chapter in the stadium's history and to celebrate the return of a name that is synonymous with Chiefs Kingdom. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Chiefs and investing in programs that make a difference in the communities where our members live, work, and serve.Arrowhead Stadium, which opened in 1972, was also known as Kansas City Stadium this summer for the FIFA World Cup.The Chiefs have announced a plan to replace Arrowhead, which is in Missouri, with a domed stadium across the border in Kansas. That is currently slated to open in time for the 2031 season.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA - NOVEMBER 8: Stephen Daley #8 of the Indiana Hoosiers celebrates with fans after the game against the Penn State Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium on November 8, 2025 in State College, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Isaiah Vazquez/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesIndiana football head coach Curt Cignetti gets Stephen Daley.Cignetti has as good of an eye for talent as anyone in college football, having helped scout and develop the Hoosiers 2025 national championship roster over several seasons. Daley ended up being one of his best signings.The Hoosiers added Daley through the transfer portal ahead of the 2025 season after the latter spent the previous three seasons at Kent State, winning six games during that time. It took time for him to come into his own at Indiana, playing a small role through the first few games of 2025, but when fellow lineman Kellan Wyatt went down with an injury against Michigan State, Daley was ready.Daley emerged as one of the most disruptive players in college football, leading the Big Ten and ranking third nationally with 19 tackles for loss despite that small role in the first few games. He was crucial to Indianas Big Ten Championship Game win over Ohio State, terrorizing Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin throughout the matchup.That is, however, where his 2025 ended. An injury suffered in the ensuing celebration with fans held Daley out of the run through the College Football Playoff. It didnt just keep him off the field for the Hoosiers either, it kept his name out of NFL Draft discussions this past spring.So when the opportunity came for a fifth year following a district court ruling in Colorado, Daleys chance came back. Now, back on Indianas roster, he has another chance to make a difference in college while showing NFL scouts what hes made of.And hell be giving it his best shot, just like he did as the player that drew Cignettis eye at Kent State and starred for Indiana in 2025.If it all works out and he can participate and help this football team, then his life could change, Cignetti said in a press conference on Monday. I know one thing about him, hell give it his best shot, he really will, and well just see what happens.Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:Improved notifications system!Fewer adsCreatecommunity postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community posts
