On hockey and age-based admission:

I had this in the newsletter a few weeks ago. More than 80% of college hockey freshmen last year were junior age-outs (20+ years old).

409 out of 509 players.

@engineeringolf What about “playing off the low man” assuming for example that a 15 would still get strokes on the 7 hardest holes against an 8. Does that swing the odds even more, or pretty similar?

[Joe Smith @jrs2244]

Between him and JT Miller they have some of the worst captains in the league on this team

[Joe Haggerty @HackswithHaggs]

It's painfully obvious watching Auston Matthews in the 4 Nations and in the Olympics that he is not captain material for this Team USA group. He just isn't. Jack Eichel playing like a captain. Brady Tkachuk too. Not a massive deal but with this crew, but unmistakable

@3YearLetterman Before or after he took his talents to South Beach?

@PeteNBCBoston @NBCSportsBoston @FelgerAndMazz How many replies do you get with an “almost as big as me” reference when there’s a big storm?

On a night where the Red Sox got outbid for Alex Bregman, a reminder that the Red Sox have the fifth most expensive tickets in MLB, and rank 23rd in how much of that revenue they spend on players

[Boston Bruins @NHLBruins]

Here's how we'll line it up.

[Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington]

I asked Maye last week his advice to young athletes: “Play as many sports as you can. I can’t tell you how much baseball and basketball has helped me in playing quarterback.”

Funny… He settled on QB (unlike his brothers) because he was the smallest of the three. (He’s 6’4’’!)

[Boston Bruins @NHLBruins]

"I want to single out one player - I want to thank Patrice Bergeron...my longest teammate, my co-captain - Bergy, I could always count on you. You showed me and helped me to become a better leader, player, but more importantly a better person." -- Big Zee

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

You know what I've learned as a dad?

Sometimes your kids don't follow the path you walked. And that's exactly how it should be.

My son Christian retired from baseball at the age of 4. He's now in culinary school.

When I talk about pastries and baking with him, it's like when my dad talked to me about playing catch or hitting.

His eyes light up. His heart starts beating.

If he had a tail, I could see it wagging. He absolutely loves it!

What do you want as a father for your kids?

You want them to find something they love, that they can hold on to and pour themselves into.

God put all three of my kids in my life to transform me.

They didn't come here to be mini versions of Clint. They came to show me what surrendering looks like. What unconditional love means.

Being a dad taught me more about leadership than any dugout ever could.

[Joe Smith @jrs2244]

By the look on his face he must have had Triple Play: NO -10000

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

ANGELS TURN THE TRIPLE PLAY TO END THE INNING AND SHOHEI CAN’T BELIEVE IT

Sandbagging and scramble shenanigans will be what pops the golf bubble

[Yip Strickler @YipStrickler]

There will never be a @BarstoolClassic Qualifier like this one! @RiggsBarstool @idahogolftrail #yip #golf #journalism

[Joe Smith @jrs2244]

But that’s an incredibly low bar

[Ty Anderson @_TyAnderson]

Time will be the ultimate judge, but believe this is the first time in my 15 years of covering this team that I’ve had multiple people with zero affiliation or allegiance to the Bruins tell me that they really like the B’s draft.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

One of my all-time favorite type of videos is pre-fame bands playing their extremely famous songs to a tiny room of people, because they're not yet known.

A thread of some examples:

Bastille playing Pompeii in what looks like someone's living room:

[Jake Weaver @MidwestGolfJake]

I've never done drugs. But I have watched Jordan Spieth play golf.
