Kharis Ralph, who had a long career in ice dance with Asher Hill, has retired from skating. Drew Stafford Jersey . The duo trained at the Scarborough Figure Skating Clubs Ice Dance Elite with coaches Carol Lane and Juris Razgulajevs. They competed at one ISU World Figure Skating Championships, finishing 13th at the 2012 event in Nice, France, and were sixth at this years Canadian Tire National Skating Championships. "It has been both a privilege and a challenge to be on the National Team for the last five years and I am grateful for the opportunity," said Ralph. "I would like to thank Skate Canada for all the support through the years, and wish everyone well for the future." "For eight years Kharis and Asher were mainstays on the international scene. Their hard work and determination resulted in them being one of very few teams to have ever represented Canada at both a junior and a senior world championship", said Mike Slipchuk, High Performance Director, Skate Canada. "Kharis positive attitude and charismatic personality made her a role model for other skaters and she will be truly missed." Ralphs immediate plans include finishing her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto and then to pursue graduate studies. The 22-year-old Toronto native hopes to stay involved in the sport, possibly in the area of judging or as a technical specialist. Hill is currently looking for a new partner and hopes to continue competing in ice dance. Martin Brodeur Jersey . Once again, the third baseman delivered in a big spot. Ramirez kept up his torrid hitting with a two-run homer to help back Wily Peraltas solid start, and the Brewers extended their winning streak to seven with a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. Scott Wedgewood Jersey .Martin Caceres marked his return from injury by scoring in the 3-1 win at Napoli and he believes Juventus sent out a warning to the rest of the league with that result.We go out on the pitch every game looking to give our all, Caceres said. http://www.nhldevilshockeystore.com/ken-daneyko-jersey/ . -- The NFL Players Association wants to determine if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leaked information about quarterback Josh Freeman being in the NFLs substance abuse program.WINNIPEG -- Their last game Saturday wont affect how either team finishes the current CFL season, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers know theyll be cleaning out their lockers win or lose. You can catch all the action live on TSN at 2:00pm et/11:00 am pt. The Bombers (3-14) will either tie their worst-ever season in the 18-game CFL with a loss or better it by just one game with a win. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (9-, meanwhile, have made the playoffs and have locked up home-field advantage for their semifinal matchup with the Montreal Alouettes. But both still insist they have good reasons for trying hard Saturday afternoon at Investors Group Field. "Every game means something," Hamilton coach Kent Austin said Friday. "Its important that we play well going into the playoffs. . . Weve got guys that coming back off the injury (list) that either came back last week or come back this week that really need to be on the field and be ready to play and play at a high level so we can carry that into the playoff game next week." One might think he would rest starters like quarterback Henry Burris, to avoid the possibility of injury and ensure theyre fresh for their first playoff game. How much action Burris will see isnt something Austin says has yet been determined, but he will play. "Hes starting the game and we dont have a definite plan with him," Austin said. "We want him to feel good about the way hes playing and have another game under his belt and, like other players, be prepared to play next week. This is another game we want to win and we want Henry to play well." The Bombers, meanwhile, are hoping to end a miserable season on a high note. "Regardless of whether or not we win this game, were gooing to have a bad taste in our mouth," said veteran offensive lineman Glenn January. Ben Lovejoy Jersey. "But at least we can feel a sense of pride as we exit the field for the last time in 2013." Some are playing for their jobs and theyve all been told to enjoy themselves, because this team will change next season. "This is the last time that all of us in this room will play together," quarterback Max Hall said they were told this week. "We dont know where any of us are going to be next year. We cant control that but we can control this week and playing the best game we can." Their record has already cost general manager Joe Mack and team president Garth Buchko their jobs. The team has an acting president and an acting general manager. With that as a backdrop, the Bombers are spending much of this week either looking back at their glory days or looking ahead to hosting a Grey Cup in their new $200-million digs. Theyre honouring the 1988 Grey Cup winning team at their final game of the 2013 season. That wasnt their last Grey Cup win but it was close. They won just one more in 1990 and have struck out in five appearances since, their last in 2011. The Bombers said this week theyre bidding to host either the 2015 or 2016 league final at the CFLs newest stadium, although it will lose that honour when Ottawa, Hamilton and finally Regina get new fields in the next few years. Coach Tim Burke says he hasnt heard anything about his future yet but he expects the president and general manager positions will get firmed up before that happens. Until then, Burke says he will carry on wrapping up this season and preparing for the next. "Im getting paid, so Im going to do my job," he said.
