Recapping the first half of the 2025-26 OHL regular season (Eastern Conference Edition)

After thirty-one regular season games, the Brantford Bulldogs find themselves atop the Eastern Conference standings with fifty-one points and a 23-3-4-1 record (wins, losses, overtime losses, shootout losses). Their most recent result was a 2-0 home win over the London Knights. That game would see goals scored by Cooper Dennis on a first-period penalty kill and then by Philip Govedaris; his goal would also serve as his first of the season.

Who offered a spark? - England players rated

Jordan Pickford: England's number one did not have a meaningful save to make. 6 Reece James: As England dominated the game, James spent most of the time in attacking positions and was not up against much going towards his own goal. One of Thomas Tuchel's favourites and looks to be England's first-choice right-back. 6 Ezri Konsa: Just like the rest of the England back four, it was an easy night for Konsa. Good on the ball and kept it moving as he started attacks.

St. John's shows similar traits to last season during comeback victory over Towson

A start of a new season in Queens has brought new players and new uniforms to St. John's but the product on the court was very similar from a season ago. The Johnnies were sluggish and cold offensively to start its exhibition slate against Towson before turning up the defensive pressure and getting timely buckets after halftime, turning an 8-point deficit into a 10-point win, 73-63.

Who Can Stop A'ja Wilson? | Defector

Nor was it really a lead change to remember: It happened well before the game got interesting, when A'ja Wilson hit a three to put the Aces up 9-8 early in the first quarter. But the cruel fact of the Las Vegas Aces in these Finals is they never let games get too interesting. For every flicker of hope, they bring the extinguisher. Never in doubt, the Aces closed out their third win, 90-88.

Best player Sophie de Goede. The Canada forward was impressive and versatile throughout. The fact she had just returned from an anterior cruciate ligament injury was mindblowing. Best match New Zealand v Canada. Many had expected the semi-final to be a close match but Canada blew the world champions away. The sheer pace of their game was unmatched and Justine Pelletier was phenomenal.
