Today is the day of the first on-ice activity for the Colorado Avalanche in the 2026-27 season. A group of 25 rookies are gathering at Family Sports Center at 9:00 a.m. for a one-day practice before they head off to San Jose, Calif. for the annual rookie tournament.
Late last week the roster was announced which features almost as many defensemen (8) as forwards (13). The only two players with NHL experience expected to attend are forwards Nikita Prishchepov and Taylor Makar, though several others on this list could see their NHL debut soon. All eyes will be on goaltender Ilya Nabokov and forward TJ Hughes who might even make an impact on the Avalanche this year.
It's nice to see five of the nine members of the 2026 Avalanche draft class in attendance including including forwards Beckett Hamilton and Shawn Carrier, defenseman Ondrej Ruml and goaltenders Alexandre Raymond and Tobias Tvrznik,
Those prospects playing in the NCAA or Europe this season are not listed and were not expected to attend rookie camp or Avalanche training camp. However, it is curious the class headliner, 43rd overall Egor Shilov is missing especially since he has chosen to spend one more year in the QMJHL with Victoriaville. But, there is a clue from those who cover the Canadian junior leagues that ongoing visa issues are to blame.

The Shilo Sanders bankruptcy trial continues in Colorado, as he tries to have a massive judgment of $11.89 million discharged.
Via Olivia Doak of the Boulder Daily Camera, Shilo Sanders took the witness stand on Tuesday.
He disputed prior testimony that painted him as the aggressor in a 2015 altercation that left John Darjean, who was a security guard at Shilo's school, with serious injuries. Shilo said that Darjean was "getting aggressive" and "attacked and **** aulted" Shilo. He added that Darjean choked him.
Other witnesses said they did not see Darjean choke Shilo Sanders.
The fight happened after Darjean attempted to confiscate Shilo's phone.

DENVER – Former Colorado football player Shilo Sanders testified at his bankruptcy trial here Tuesday, Sept. 1, that a security guard at his school "attacked and ***** aulted" him in 2015 — not the other way around as a Texas state court found in 2022 when it issued an $11.89 million judgment against Sanders.
Sanders, son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders, testified the security guard, John Darjean, also caused him to fear his life, choked him, caused him to "black out" and starting tearing the skin off his arm when he grabbed it in an attempt to confiscate his phone at school.
Sanders testified he was in "excruciating pain" because of it and was "choke-slammed" by Darjean into a corner, causing him to "hit my head as hard as possibly could happen."
"I literally have proof of both of his hands tearing my skin off," Sanders testified.

Shilo Sanders bankruptcy trial, explained: What to know about $11M debt lawsuit against Deion's son originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It's a prove-it year for much of the Sanders family, with Deion looking to bounce back from a 3-9 season and Shedeur hoping he will still get his chance to start games for the Browns at some point after losing a quarterback battle with Deshaun Watson.
Shedeur's brother and Deion's son, Shilo, will face a much different kind of test: a bankruptcy trial.
The trial, which stems from an incident 11 years ago, is unusual if only because bankruptcy cases rarely go to trial, but the Sanders family has taken the process all the way to court, to the point that Deion could take the stand to testify.
Here's what you need to know about Shilo Sanders' bankruptcy case.

The Pioneer Panthers graduated a senior class that led them to the Class 1A state championship game a year ago.
The question is after heavy losses to graduation, can the Panthers keep running like a well-oiled machine?
It appears the answer is yes when considering the amount of talent they have coming back and the upcoming players they have available.
The Panthers were a four-headed monster a year ago and they return two of the four members of the starting backfield: senior Shiloh Rine (6-1, 188) and junior Phillip McFatridge (5-9, 162). Both gained over 1,000 yards last year despite being the third and fourth options. They'll return to their wingback positions and will likely have bigger roles this year.
"They weren't necessarily our go-to guys with (Noah) Van Meter and Micah (Rans), but they definitely showed they had that play-making ability," Pioneer coach Adam Berry said. "They'll be more of that focal point for us this year being the upperclassmen, being the leaders of the team. Both were very committed to the offseason and are just that much stronger, that much quicker. And they can also show that they have good hands. So we are looking for them to definitely be the leaders of our offense this year."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt has filed a legal notice in the Los Angeles Daily Journal to officially announce she is legally requesting to drop "Pitt" from her last name.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Vivienne, 18, completed California's required four-week newspaper publication process on August 14. Under California law, people seeking a legal name change must generally publish a notice of their petition before a judge can approve the request, giving anyone the opportunity to object.
As In Touch previously reported, Vivienne filed legal paperwork on July 12 asking to remove "Pitt" from her last name, citing the reason as 'personal.' A hearing on the petition is scheduled for November 2. The teen was previously credited as "Vivienne Jolie" in the Playbill for Broadway's The Outsiders, the Tony Award-winning production she helped produce alongside her mom, per People.

Pitt, 62, and Jolie, 51, share Vivienne along with her five siblings: Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 20, and Vivienne's twin brother Knox.

The attorney for Colorado football coach Deion Sanders filed a document in court Aug. 20 that said Sanders would face an undue burden if he is required to testify at his son Shilo's looming bankruptcy trial in Denver while Sanders' team prepares for its season opener at Georgia Tech on Sept. 3.
Sanders' attorney, Harvey Steinberg, also said he hasn't accepted service of a subpoena for Sanders to testify, contrary to court documents filed Aug. 19 by the attorney for the plaintiff in the case, John Darjean.
In his motion to quash the subpoena filed Aug. 20, Steinberg appears to be going all out in his effort to prevent Deion Sanders from testifying in the trial as his son tries to discharge more than $11 million in debt. The trial is expected to last up to five days, conflicting with the travel schedule of Sanders' team, which is leaving for Atlanta on Sept. 1.
"Mr. Sanders is the head coach for the University of Colorado football organization," the motion to quash states. "The CU Buffaloes' first game of the season is set to occur on September 3, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia. Thus, Mr. Sanders' job obligations require him to continue working with the University, staff, and players to both prepare the team for its September 3 game and to travel with the team to Georgia.
"Common sense dictates that Mr. Sanders' absence from sitting outside the courtroom to await potential testimony will cause him significant and undue personal and professional burdens, and that such a requirement will also significantly impact the CU Buffaloes' preparation for their season opener."

A deputy with the Boulder County Sheriff's Office showed up at the University of Colorado campus last week to serve civil papers to Deion Sanders while the coach was at an open practice and inaccessible.
The officer was informed that the Buffaloes coach was "unavailable at the time to receive receipt of the papers," a spokesperson with the sheriff's office said Wednesday. Sanders is being subpoenaed to testify as part of a bankruptcy trial involving his son, Shilo, that begins on Aug. 31, according to USA Today.
The Colorado athletic department had no additional information. The Buffaloes open the season on Sept. 3 at Georgia Tech.
The deputy arrived on campus at 10:22 a.m. on Aug. 11 with civil papers. It was the day the Buffaloes held an open practice with specific rules in place that nothing observed could be reported, published or shared.
Carrie Haverfield, a senior communications specialist for the sheriff's office, wrote in an email to The **** ociated Press that it's not uncommon for civil papers to take several attempts to serve.

When Colorado opens the college football regular season, it may do so without head coach Deion Sanders. The 59-year-old Sanders was reportedly subpoenaed to testify in court as part of his son Shilo's bankruptcy trial, according to USA Today.
That trial is expected to begin Aug. 31 and last roughly five days, potentially taking it through Sept. 4. Colorado opens its season against Georgia Tech on Sept. 3.
The judge presiding over the case, Judge Michael E. Romero, noted the potential conflict for Sanders during a pretrial conference attended by USA Today. Romero added that, due to the game, Sanders would likely fight the subpoena.
"I'm also concerned there's a game: CU's first game is that same week," Judge Romero said on the Zoom conference, which also was attended by USA TODAY Sports. "So I can see that coming. I am not a CU alum or I have no ties to CU. So I don't care. But I'm just recognizing that is a potential issue."
It's unclear whether Sanders has been served the subpoena yet. Romero merely noted that the subpoena had been issued.

Deion Sanders's preparation for Colorado's 2026 opener could be complicated by an unrelated obligation.
Brent Schrotenboer of USA Today reports that Deion has been subpoenaed to testify at the upcoming bankruptcy trial involving his son, Shilo.
The trial begins on Monday, August 31. The following Saturday, Colorado plays at Georgia Tech.
The presiding judge recently commented on the situation during a pre-trial conference.
"I'm also concerned there's a game: CU's first game is that same week," Judge Michael E. Romero said. "So I can see that coming. I am not a CU alum or I have no ties to CU. So I don't care. But I'm just recognizing that is a potential issue."

Brad Pitt is drinking again in moderation after spending seven years completely sober.
The Oscar-winning actor and producer, 62, spoke about his relationship with alcohol in a new interview published Monday.
"No, I got—I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon," Pitt told Esquire. "In a more restrained manner. I got overconfident a couple times, went, Yep, nope, not good for me. Not in big quantities."
He added that he can "have a few" glasses of wine, saying, "But I can't have a lot. I have to be professional about it."
Pitt first cut out drinking in 2016 following his highly publicized split from Angelina Jolie, with whom he shares children Maddox, 24, Zahara, 21, Pax, 22, Shiloh, 20, Knox, 18, and Vivienne, 18.

Former Colorado football player Shilo Sanders is seeking to have the written transcript of his coming bankruptcy trial sealed from public view, along with any exhibits displayed at the trial where Sanders hopes to escape more than $11 million in debt, according to a new case document filed Aug. 3.
The filing says Sanders, son of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders, does not oppose keeping the trial proceedings public but wants to seal any written record of it in large part because the case contains information relating to when Sanders was a minor at age 15.
Attorneys for USA TODAY filed a motion to intervene in the Sanders' bankruptcy case July 22 − a request that seeks greater transparency in this high-profile case after several developments in it recently were conducted in secret, including a pretrial court hearing July 14.
On July 31, Sanders' attorney, Victor Vital, filed his response to that request under seal, keeping its contents from public view. USA TODAY's attorneys, who have access to the response, replied with an Aug. 3 court filing that references what Vital proposed.
USA TODAY's filing notes that Sanders's response does not oppose keeping the Aug. 31 trial proceedings open to the public "but buries the fact that his proposed order would seal the complete trial transcript and any exhibits submitted as evidence at trial."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter is declaring her independence.
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, the youngest daughter of the A-list actors and former spouses, filed a petition to change her last name in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, July 20, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY.
Jolie and Pitt, who at the height of their Hollywood romance were known as "Brangelina," share six children: Maddox, 24; Pax, 22; Zahara, 21; Shiloh, 20; and 18-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. Jolie, 51, filed for divorce in September 2016 following two years of marriage, and the pair finalized their split in December 2024 after being declared legally single in 2019.
Jolie-Pitt, whose full name is Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, is asking the court to alter her surname to Jolie, removing Pitt from her name entirely, per Monday's filing. The actors' daughter said the reason for the name change was "personal."

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is the latest of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's six children to legally drop Pitt from her last name, amid the F1 star's reported estrangement from his family. The 18-year-old, who celebrated her milestone birthday on July 12, filed a petition with the Los Angeles County Superior Court to legally change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie.
According to court documents, she listed the reason for the major decision as "personal", and a court hearing is scheduled for her petition on November 2. Vivienne has made no secret about distancing herself from her famous father in the past, and chose to drop "Pitt" when her name was listed on the playbill for The Outsiders, which Angelina directed on Broadway in 2024.
The teen is following in her siblings' footsteps with the move, after Shiloh, 20, was the first to legally change her name. Zahara, 21, and Maddox, 24, are currently in the process of dropping "Pitt" from their name, with the former's hearing scheduled for September 28 and the latter's hearing scheduled for September 14.

Angelina and Brad's remaining two sons, Pax and Knox, have yet to make any legal moves to change their names, but the latter opted to go by "Knox Jolie" on his high school diploma when graduating in June. Brad has not been spotted in public with any of his six kids since 2016.

After selecting Egor Shilov in the second round, the Colorado Avalanche rounded out their 2026 draft class with a whopping eight more picks before the day was over. All-together collecting three forwards, four defensemen and two goaltenders as new prospects to the organization.
In the third round Beckett Hamilton was selected at 74th overall out of Red Deer in the WHL. He’s known as a hard-working well-rounded right shot center, which pairs well with perhaps a riskier upside bet in Shilovs from the previous round. Hamilton stands at 5-foot-11 and was ranked 33rd by NHL Central Scouting after putting up 62 points in 67 games. Hamilton has been a member of Team Canada contributing three goals at the U18 tournament.
A pair of picks by the Avalanche completed the fourth round. There they obtained their first goaltender of the draft in Tobias Tvrznik at 126th overall, He possesses the 6-foot-4 size the organization loves and plays for Wenatchee in the WHL. Altgough he was ranked 8th for North American goalies by Central Scouting, Tvrznik was drafted in his second time through the process. The Czech netminder is committed to Ohio State for the 2027-28 season.
Two picks later at 128th overall the first of several defensemen went off the board to Colorado with the selection of 5-foot-11 right shot Swedish defenseman Axel Elofsson. He scored 41 points in 39 games playing at the U20 level for Örebro and played six games for the organization at the SHL level. Eloffson has been an important player for the Swedish international team winning a gold at the U18, silver at the Hlinka Gretzky and bronze at the WJAC all in the 2025-26 season while also picking up accolades for most points and ***** ists. He was ranked 29th by Central Scouting for European players.
In the fifth round Joe Sakic executed his second ever move up the board utilizing their lowest seventh round pick at 222nd overall to jump nine spots to take right shot defenseman Cole Tuminaro at the 140th pick. He was ranked 96th by Central Scouting for North American skaters. It’s interesting strategy because the 6-foot-4 and 225 pound right hander is a 19-year-old re-entry who scored 16 points to go along with 148 penalty minutes. Every organization wants to add size and grit but these prospects are very difficult to develop. He’s excepted to plat at Cornell next season after leaving the USHL.

With 69% of the total vote share, Dover track & field's Shiloh Scott-Greaves won the Poughkeepsie Journal Girls Athlete of the Week poll for June 8-14.
The Poughkeepsie Journal Softball All-Stars for the spring season is here.
Nominations are based on information gathered and received by the Poughkeepsie Journal throughout the season. For consideration throughout the season, coaches are asked to submit game information and player stats to Edeckerusatodayco.com.

“While They Hatin On Us”: Deion Sanders Jr Takes Aim at Haters by Flaunting 5000 Acre Ranch

Deion Sanders and his family have been subject to public scrutiny on various occasions. Coach Prime has received backlash for his disappointing performance with the Colorado Buffaloes. His sons, Shedeur and Shilo, also received criticism after transitioning to the NFL. Shilo, despite signing as a UDFA with the Buccaneers, was waived last year following a pre-season altercation.
However, Coach Prime’s eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., who is also known as Bucky, clapped back at the haters and trolls with a post on social media. He shared a video showing off their 5000 acre ranch in Texas. At the start of the video, Bucky flaunted the massive open area by playing golf in the front yard.
Deion Sanders then talked about the lakes they have on the property where we’ve seen Coach Prime go fishing with his former player, Travis Hunter, and other friends. Bucky showed off other insane features at the property, including the tennis court, a vintage car collection, a basketball court, and an outdoor jacuzzi, to name a few. He accompanied the post with a caption that read:
“While they hating on us…”
Deion Sanders Jr. played football like his brothers in college. However, he decided not to pursue it professionally and enter the world of content creation. He founded his own company called “Well of Media,” which creates content and video for the Colorado Buffaloes.
