After Demolishing Denmark In Hockey, Canada Graciously Lets Them Salute Fans First

Canadian hockey is a class act.

You may remember when Canada's Toronto Maple Leafs helped the U.S. finish their national anthem after a mic cut out during a hockey match-up a few months back.

Well, in another classy gesture, Canada's men's junior team allowed Denmark to pay tribute to their fans first after they won 8-0 in the recent quarter-finals game.

Traditionally, only the winning or home team salutes the fans, but footage from TSN captures the Canadian team patiently waiting at the centre of the rink as Denmark gives their fans a stick salute.

Denmark is a much smaller hockey nation and was the clear underdog of their match-up, but as Denmark hailed their fans, you can hear wild cheers and ovations from the entire Canadian stadium.

Only after the Danish team filed off the rink did Team Canada begin to give their salutes.

St. Louis Rams Owner Plans To Build A Stadium In Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Times reports St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke has bought enough space in Los Angeles to house a new NFL stadium and parking. According to the Times, the proposed stadium would hold 80,000 fans.

The NFL will not allow any team to relocate in the next season, but the league has made it clear they intend to have a team in Los Angeles in the near future. The Oakland Raiders have also been rumored to be looking to move to Los Angeles. Both the Rams and the Raiders played in Los Angeles previously. To gain approval of the move, 24 of 32 team owners would have to be in support.

According to the report, the stadium would not be publicly funded, and will have to be approved by voters.

Though this initiative by Kroenke is a major step toward Los Angeles once again becoming home to an NFL team, owners have frequently used the threat of relocation to LA to gain leverage with their current host cities.

The Rams have played at Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis since 1995. Fan attendance ranked second-to-last in the NFL this season.

Developer Anschutz Entertainment Group didn't return a request for comment.

Baltimore Police issued a summons for Sanders to appear in court in February to face one charge of sexual conduct without consent. The incident for which Sanders is being charged allegedly occurred on Dec. 14, 2014, according to the police record.

The charge is punishable by a maximum of a year in jail or a fine of $1,000, or both, according to the state's penal code.

Sanders' summons comes just as the Ray Rice saga with the NFL and the Ravens sunsets. The Ravens cut Rice after TMZ released surveillance video of him beating his then-fianceé Janay Palmer in an elevator.

Sanders was in charge of the Ravens' investigation into the incident, which took months to complete.

Rice and Palmer have since married.

The Ravens will play against the Steelers in the first round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday.
