Morgan Geekie has signed a six-year, $33 million extension with the Boston Bruins with an annual average value of $5.5 million, league sources told The Athletic’s Chris Johnston. Geekie would have been a restricted free agent on Tuesday.
Geekie, 26, is coming off a 33-goal breakout season. Once a regular healthy scratch at the beginning of 2024-25, Geekie found a home as left wing on the Bruins’ No. 1 line next to David Pastrnak. Geekie even occupied Pastrnak’s favorite spot on the left elbow to launch one-timers set up by No. 88.
Part of Geekie’s goal-scoring success was because of a career-best shooting percentage of 22.0. However, given the quality of his chances, the Bruins believe he can achieve similar production in future seasons.
Geekie’s previous high was 17 goals in 2023-24. It was his first season in Boston after signing a two-year, $4 million contract. The Seattle Kraken declined to issue Geekie a qualifying offer after 2023-23, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Geekie and Pastrnak, friends off the ice as well, should remain on the same line for new coach Marco Sturm. They found chemistry with Elias Lindholm toward the end of 2024-25 as a scoring trio.
Geekie was eligible for arbitration but repeatedly said he did not want to go through the process.
FLORIDA – Two guests aboard the Disney Dream are recovering after being rescued from the water, according to officials.
What we know:
A spokesperson with Disney Cruise Line said crew members assisted in the rescue.
Cruise officials said the guests were both rescued and returned to the ship within minutes.
What they’re saying:
DCL released a statement saying: “The Crew aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the water. We commend our Crew Members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes. We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols.”
It is unknown what led to the guests going overboard.

What to expect on your visit to Disney’s Castaway Cay
Castaway Cay is Disney’s private island, reserved exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests in the Bahamas.
A horrifying moment aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship turned into an unbelievable rescue at sea after a child fell overboard and her father leapt in after her.
The June 29 incident occurred as the Disney Dream was returning to Fort Lauderdale from a four-night Bahamian sailing, including a stop at Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. As first reported by The Street, the emergency code “Mr. M.O.B.” (man overboard) rang out over the ship’s intercom, signaling an urgent response.
“The Crew aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the water,” a Disney Cruise Line spokesperson told USA TODAY in a statement. “We commend our Crew Members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes. We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols.”
Social media posts from cruisers described the rapid reaction from crew members, who launched life preservers and deployed a rescue boat within minutes. In a Facebook post, passenger Kevin Furuta said, “A girl fell overboard from the 4th deck & her dad went in after her … Thankfully the DCL rescue team was on it immediately and both were saved!”
Despite assumptions that the ship may have been docked, passengers confirmed the rescue took place while the Disney Dream was cruising between The Bahamas and Florida, with the child reportedly falling from Deck 4, which features a walking track. It remains unclear how the child fell overboard, despite the ship’s plexiglass safety barriers.

Like many major cruise operators, Disney ships are also equipped with overboard detection systems designed to alert the ship’s crew to such incidents in real-time.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, Va. (WSET) — A man is in custody in Prince Edward County after police said he killed his father in Roanoke and later shot at an officer.
Rayjaun Calloway, 24, was apprehended by Virginia State Police on Sunday afternoon, approximately five hours after being spotted by a Farmville police officer near Route 460 and Hixburg Road.
The search for Calloway began after the Roanoke Police Department responded to a shooting in the 900 block of 7th Street NW just before 5 p.m. on Saturday, where they found his father, 55-year-old Israel Calloway, dead.

“This morning at approximately 7:20 a.m. Calloway was spotted by a Farmville Police Officer in the area of Route 460 and Hixburg Road,” said Matthew Demlein, a spokesperson for the Virginia State Police.
Demlein said Calloway shot at the officer multiple times before fleeing on foot, prompting Prince Edward County officials to issue an emergency shelter-in-place order for anyone within a 5-mile radius of the area.
“The officer was not injured, but that led to a shelter in place by Prince Edward County,” Demlein said. “We wanted people to be safe while we were searching for this armed and dangerous suspect.”
Calloway was arrested without further incident near Sulphur Spring Road on Route 460 at about 12:45 p.m. Sunday, with the assistance of multiple agencies. Traffic was temporarily stopped for those traveling West, but has since returned to normal.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian met with his players early Friday afternoon and informed them that Ron Washington, their beloved, hard-nosed manager, would remain on medical leave for the remainder of the 2025 season.
Washington, who at 73 is the oldest manager in the major leagues, was initially placed on leave because of an undisclosed medical issue June 20. His hope was to eventually return to his role this season — and to be on the team’s flight to Atlanta on Sunday night, where he would be reunited with a Braves organization he spent several years with — but he and the team decided stepping away would be in his best interest.
Ray Montgomery, in his fourth year as the bench coach, will serve as interim manager for the team, which had won three straight before a 15-9 loss to the Nationals on Friday night dropped it to 40-41 on the season. Without going into specifics, Minasian sounded optimistic about Washington’s long-term prognosis, adding that he is “in good spirits.”
“We want him here,” Angels outfielder Mike Trout said, “but we want him to get better.”
Washington, in his second year managing the Angels, experienced shortness of breath and appeared fatigued near the end of the team’s four-game series at Yankee Stadium, which ended June 19. He underwent a series of tests upon returning to Southern California the following day and was placed on leave for the weekend series against the Houston Astros.
Washington was still a notable presence in the ballpark then. The broadcast cameras caught him eating chicken wings from one of the Angel Stadium suites during last Friday night’s game, delighting social media. On Sunday morning, he was on the field for pregame workouts and spoke optimistically about his chances of returning. But further testing prompted the team to extend his leave through the next three-plus months of the season.
“It’s tough hearing news like that, especially when you first get to the ballpark,” Angels shortstop Zach Neto said. “But hearing great news that he’s doing better, that whatever he has, they got it quick … we’re just grateful for that. Of course we want him here, we want him here managing us and all that, but health comes before everything else.”
Washington’s contract includes a club option for 2026. Minasian would not speculate on Washington’s future role with the team and said he does not know how involved Washington will be with the team moving forward.
“We’re going to take it day by day, and we’re going to do whatever he feels is the right thing to do,” Minasian said. “I’m not going to project going forward. Obviously, you’d love to have him around as much as you can. That’s a no-brainer. But with that being said, we’re going to do whatever’s best for him.”
Washington carved out a 10-year career as a major league infielder, then transitioned to coaching, spending the 1996 to 2006 seasons with the then-Oakland Athletics. From there, Washington managed powerhouse Texas Rangers teams that made back-to-back World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011. He abruptly resigned Sept. 5, 2014, later revealing the decision was prompted by an extramarital affair.
Washington returned to the A’s for the next two seasons, then served as the Braves’ third-base coach and infield instructor from 2017 to 2023, winning a World Series championship along the way.
When the Angels hired him to return to managing in November 2023, Washington’s reputation as one of the game’s best teachers and most infectious personalities had long been established. Their hope was that he could turn around a franchise that by then had navigated eight consecutive losing seasons, specifically by elevating a young nucleus headlined by Neto and Logan O’Hoppe. That initial 2024 season saw the Angels lose a franchise-record 99 games. The next year began with a 26-31 record through May. But then the Angels’ fortunes began to turn.
“I mean, he’s the main reason why everything has been the way it has been around here this year so far,” said O’Hoppe, the Angels’ young catcher. “It’s nothing that we’re not going to keep replicating. We’re going to take the lessons he’s given us and keep applying it.”
Minasian has long said that teams eventually embody the personality of their manager, and over the past few weeks, he has noticed a stark trait with his group — resilience.
Entering Friday, the Angels had reeled off 14 wins in 23 games in June, getting back to .500 as they approached the midway point of their schedule. A season that once seemed lost has suddenly sprung back to life, and through that, Minasian said, the team has come to personify Washington.
“We play to the last out as hard as possible,” said Minasian, who was an advance scout with the Rangers and an assistant GM with the Braves during Washington’s time with both organizations. “A majority of credit to that should go to Ron, what he’s instituted here and what he preaches on a daily basis.”
Mexico kept its Gold Cup title hopes alive with a confident 2–0 victory over Saudi Arabia on Saturday, earning a spot in the tournament’s final four. The win showcased El Tri’s growing momentum in the knockout stages, as they controlled the game and capitalized on key moments to secure the result.
At the post-match press conference, head coach Javier Aguirre addressed the media, expressing his satisfaction with Mexico’s performance and their continued run in the tournament. The veteran strategist appeared upbeat, emphasizing the importance of staying focused as his team prepares for a tough semifinal clash against Honduras.
“This group is growing stronger with every game,” Aguirre noted, adding that the team’s discipline and commitment were key to their recent success.
Aguirre praises team’s poise and young talent
The coach said he was happy with his players’ work ethic overall against Saudi Arabia: “I’m pleased — we had 13 shots, 5 or 6 on target, while they only managed one, which Luis Ángel handled well. I’m happy with our possession, our chances, and the fact we didn’t sit back even when they brought on attacking subs. That’s now three straight clean sheets – this is the kind of foundation a team is built on”.
El Vasco also singled out Gilberto Mora for high praise following his standout debut. At 16 years, 257 days, Mora becomes the youngest player to debut in an official match for Mexico’s senior side.
Whose national team record did Gilberto Mora break?
The teenager was an unused sub in both of Mexico’s pre-tournament friendlies and was on the bench in the group stage matches against the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica.
Armando Manzo was the previous record holder at 17 years, one month and six days when he made his senior debut in the 2-0 win against Sweden on 22 November 1983.
“He’s incredibly well-positioned, understands his role, and he’s got no ceiling. This kid is on the national team and didn’t look out of place for a second. He’s a real asset, and hopefully he keeps progressing. You can tell he’s eager to learn, and for now, he’s passed his debut with flying colors,” Aguirre said.
As for the other young players who starred on Saturday, including Mateo Chávez, the coach added, “They came in and did really well. They deserved to play – Mora hadn’t seen action since May, and Julián is one of those young guys who earns his spot in training. These are the kinds of tough decisions you have to make, but they blended in seamlessly with the rest of the squad.”
Next up for Mexico is a semifinal clash against Honduras, who pulled off a thrilling upset by defeating Panama 5–4 in a penalty shootout. Meanwhile, the rest of the bracket will take shape this Sunday, when the United States, Canada, and Guatemala battle it out to determine who advances to the final four.

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington will sit the rest of the season out due to an unspecified medical issue, the team has announced.
“He’s in good spirits,” Angels general manager Perry Minasian said in a press conference Friday – the same day the Angels suffered a 15-9 loss to the Washington Nationals.
“He understands what needs to be done. I’m not going to go into details. That’s for him to tell, if he decides to. But for me, I’m excited for him to do what he needs to do,” Minasian said.
“Forget about the baseball stuff, just get healthy because he’s a great human being.”
“He’s somebody that you want around,” Minasian added.
The announcement comes after Washington, 73, stepped away from his managerial duties on June 20 over health concerns.
Ray Montgomery, who has been with the Angels since 2021, will take over as interim manager, and Ryan Goins will step up as bench coach.
“It’s obviously tough news and the focus is on Wash and making sure he gets what he needs right now,” Montgomery said, per MLB.com. “Honestly, it’s like a transactional piece. I’m looking at it as we have a game to play today. A week ago, when this started, we had the same mindset, and nothing’s really changed. And again, relative to what I was doing prior, it’s a lot of the same stuff.”
Washington was hired as Angels manager prior to the 2024 season and, before that, coached for seven seasons with the Atlanta Braves. He led the Texas Rangers to two World Series appearances, managing the team from 2007-14.
Sam was brought up on long drives and the dusty fields of north-west New South Wales, where he developed his love of rugby from an early age. He joined ESPN after a five-year stint heading up Fox Sports Australia’s digital rugby coverage.
A short drive from one New Zealand icon, Kai Kara-France sits quietly counting down the days until he gets the chance to become another himself. Auckland’s legendary stadium Eden Park looms large over New Zealand sport and so too soon may the UFC flyweight fighter.
With a victory over Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 317 in Las Vegas this weekend, Kara-France would become his country’s second UFC champion alongside Israel Adesanya, but first New Zealand-born and first of Maori heritage.
His challenge is a tough one: dethrone the UFC flyweight champion, a fighter he has already shared the Octagon with some nine years ago. A lot has changed since the duo first did battle on “The Ultimate Fighter: Season 24” with Kara-France having ridden the highs and lows of mixed martial arts along the way.
But its those decisions, those challenges and adventures, including once fighting on a cruise ship, that have steeled Kara-France for the opportunity in front of him and the chance to etch his name into New Zealand sporting folklore.
“There [are] so many things that [happen], you just gotta keep picking yourself up,” Kara-France tells ESPN at Auckland’s Full Time Sports Bar, as he sits beside a window that is consumed almost entirely by Eden Park.
“And my career hasn’t been this undefeated record and gone to a world title straight away. I really had to fight for this.”
Kara-France’s journey has taken him from Auckland to Thailand, right across Asia and Oceania, to “The Ultimate Fighter” and then the UFC, with heartbreaking defeats and stunning KO’s coming in almost equal measure along the way.
Before all that, there was also a tough experience with bullying as a kid, including having his head stuffed down a toilet, which he says put him on the path to combat sports.
But first, the cruise ship fight. What? When? Why? How?
“So it was the first international fight ever on a cruise ship,” Kara-France explains with a smile.
“It wasn’t moving, so you don’t have to worry about getting boat sick and falling off. But the cruise ship came from Malaysia to Phuket overnight. And then the fights were in Phuket, Thailand. So all my teammates got to come on the cruise ship and watch the fight. I was fighting a Filipino fighter and it was funny because all the workers on the cruise ship were Filipino.
“So they all came out of the kitchen and came out when we were fighting. And it felt like it was his hometown fight, like I was fighting Manny Pacquiao. But I ended up winning it, I think it was less than 30 seconds to fight, and then we got to party on the boat for two days after.
“So a pretty cool experience. I knew I had a fight, like I was there for business and then I could have a holiday after. But to say you fought on a cruise ship on the top deck, next to the pool; a pretty cool bucket list to tick off.”
Before setting sail aboard the cruise ship, Kara-France began his MMA career at home in Auckland. He produced what has become his trademark “Don’t Blink” knockouts in his first fight but soon realized that to really commit to his career he would have to head offshore.
That was the catalyst for his move to Thailand; just a teenager whose eyes were as wide as the MMA world he wanted to conquer, but a far cry from his understanding of it.
“It was definitely hard moving overseas, I didn’t know anyone, first time being in a new country by myself,” Kara-France reflected. “But that’s the beautiful thing about the martial arts community, everyone’s there to get better and everyone’s there to learn.
“So I knew I’d make friends, and I guess being quite shy and timid growing up, it forced me to be able to get out of my shell. And life hack for the younger generation, moving overseas you gain so much experience because you have to meet new people, you have to get out of your shell, get out of your comfort zone.”
Kara-France’s decision to leave home paid immediate dividends as he wound up winning a scholarship to continue his martial arts education at the famed Tiger Muai Thai.
Short on money, he called on family — he says his siblings and parents have been an unwavering source of support — to help from back home, before he eventually found his groove, strung together a five-fight win streak and first put his name on the UFC’s radar.
“That’s when the UFC called me and said, ‘We’d love for you to be part of The Ultimate Fighter season 24, you just have to be a champion.’ And I’d just won a belt in Perth, Australia, Bragging Rights 7: Resurrection, which was my ticket to get on the show. So it was pretty cool to be a part of history on The Ultimate Fighter.”
Kara-France’s TUF appearance eventually ended with a loss to Pantoja by decision and while it was anything but a backward step, he had to go away, keep grafting and bide his time for a shot at the UFC proper.
Enter City Kickboxing.
“That first day I walked into CKB [City Kickboxing], I remember Eugene [Bareman] just saying, how are we going to get back to the UFC? I’d just come off a loss, I fought in Japan [in December 2016], it didn’t go my way, that’s why I had to come back to New Zealand, just to have a bit of a reset,” Kara-France tells ESPN.
“And I sat down with Euge, and he just said, the way we get back to the UFC is just turn up to training, and the rest will take care of itself. And I just trusted in his words and his guidance, and I wouldn’t be here today in the UFC and doing so well without him in my corner.
“He’s really so selfless, but what he does and why he’s one of the best is he can cater towards all different personalities. So you can have your big personalities like Izzy [Adesanya], or like Dan [Hooker]; or like me, who wasn’t as outspoken, but he can get the best out of us. And that’s what he’s really good at.”
Bareman recalls a quiet, shy kid, who eight years on continues let his fighting do the talking.
“Not that he doesn’t have these traits now, but he was quiet and unassuming and just went about his work. And he was a terrific trainer, he trained really hard and dedicated himself,” Bareman tells ESPN.

‘I wanted to walk the journey with them’ | Kara-France’s Maori Journey)
UFC Flyweight Kai Kara-France is embracing his culture and history as he prepares to take on Alexandre Pantoja for the UFC Flyweight Championship.
“And I feel like he’s still that same kind of character, quietly unassuming, hardworking, just gets the work done. Not the loudest person in the room, but definitely one of the hardest workers in the room.”
Saturday night’s [Sunday afternoon NZT, AEST] fight will be the second time Kara-France competes for the UFC flyweight title, the 32-year-old having already lost an interim division decider to Brandon Moreno in 2022.
The Kiwi’s UFC record sits at 8-4, with two of those defeats coming in three of his most recent fights, while ahead of his show-stopping KO of Australian Steve Erceg in August last year, Kara-France had spent 14 months sidelined by ongoing concussion issues.
“Kai’s journey’s has definitely had its bumps, but what I like about Kai is he’s, after each one of those hurdles, he’s come back a better fighter,” Bareman says of his charge. “We’ve really attacked some of the fights that he’s lost and picked up a lot of stuff that we need to work on and from those losses to his next fights, you can kind of see a bit of a progression in some areas that he really worked on, but he was a bit deficient in those fights.
“I like the way he comes back from his losses, and that’s part of the reason why he’s able to get back to this position right now, after already having an unsuccessful attempt at this title.”
Outside of the Octagon, away from the hours spent sweating it out on the mats of City Kickboxing, Kara-France is on a voyage of ongoing discovery and enrichment in his Maori heritage.
His wife, Chardae, is a fluent speaker of Te Reo Maori, a skill he too wants to master so that he can help pass the language along to the next generation, including the couple’s two boys.
A quick glance at the Kiwi’s Instagram reveals his recent involvement in a kapa haka group, which was inside the cage at City Kickboxing; the intense haka performance something Kara-France will channel when he faces Pantoja this weekend.
So what of the Brazilian champion? What does he remember from their first fight?
“He won by decision. It was only a two-round fight. It’s not on our record,” Kara-France recalls.
“I remember neutralising his ground game. I remember being scrambly where he couldn’t really stay on me when he was on my back. And then on the feet, it was pretty even.
“He just did a bit more to get the nod from the judges. It was nine years ago, so a lot’s happened since then. Pantoja’s obviously done really well in his career, becoming a world champion. And one of his biggest strengths is he’s so tough. He’s so resilient. He can just find a way to win.
“So I love that he’s one of the best champs to do it in the flyweight division and here I get an opportunity to be the first one to knock him out.”
As the sun fades from the Auckland sky and the air turns that little bit icier, Eden Park starts to slide into the distance. For an All Blacks game, the stadium, where the team hasn’t tasted defeat since 1994, lights up the night as the rugby gods within it destroy whichever hapless opposition is unlucky enough to be in town that day.
There is not the same inevitability around Kara-France’s own chances in Las Vegas this weekend, far from it in fact, but victory will put his name in lights up and down the land of the Long White Cloud.
“I just feel through all my experiences that I’m just ready to tick this off my life bucket list,” he tells ESPN. “I’m big on goals, daily goals, weekly, monthly. And for 15 years, I’ve had to keep writing, become a UFC flyweight world champion. And I haven’t ticked that off yet.
“So that’s fueling me to know that I’ve done all the work at training leading into this. I’ve seen it all. I felt it all. Nothing can hurt me because I’ve gone through it and I’ve gained that experience. And when I step in there this time, I’ve just got to go after it; no self-doubt, no hesitation.
“Just go in there, be very intentional and go for the finish. So I’m excited, I’m excited because I’m ready for it.”
On the May 5 episode of “WWE Raw,” Otis was beaten in convincing fashion by Rusev and has not been seen since. He was still a regular face every Monday night, as well as appearing on episodes of “WWE Main Event” with his Alpha Academy teammate Akira Tozawa, but given that it has been nearly two months since Otis wrestled for WWE, many have wondered where he is.
The answer, sadly, is on the injured list, as Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has reported that Otis is set to undergo elbow surgery in the form of arthroscopic to see what the problem is. WrestleVotes had recently reported that Otis was off the active roster due to the injury, something Fightful has also been able to confirm, but the procedure isn’t expected to keep Otis out of action for as long as some originally thought, However, on every road to recovery, there are going to be some stumbling blocks, something Otis and the people close to him are well aware of.
Before the injury, Otis had primarily been involved in an ongoing feud with Chad Gable following Gable’s heel turn in March 2024. Otis, Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri weren’t happy with Gable’s behavior, even refusing to help him dethrone Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at Clash at the Castle in June of that year. The rest of the group walked out on Gable, who proceeded to form American Made in response, leading to the two factions feuding throughout the rest of the summer before Otis and Gable finally had their long awaited grudge match on the final episode of “Raw” in 2024, which was won by Gable. Since then, Gable has feuded with Penta and become El Grande Americano, while Otis crossed paths with Rusev when the Bulgarian returned to WWE in April 2025.
