10-man Botafogo wins its first Copa Libertadores title

A combined total of 10 goals on 106 shots wasn't enough for the Kelowna Chiefs and Osoyoos Coyotes to settle the score in regulation on Friday, Nov. 29. In an action-packed game, the Chiefs beat the Coyotes 6-5 in a shootout at Sun Bowl Arena. Kelowna's powerplay was clicking all night and it started when Luke Rishaug scored at the 10:52 mark of the first period. After the first period, the floodgates opened as both teams went back and forth scoring goals. Aiden Morcom scored on the powerplay to double Kelowna's lead but just 27 seconds later, Osoyoos' Dexter Materi scored to cut he deficit to one. The Coyotes then got goals from Austin Cooper (shorthanded) and Spencer Fleck (powerplay) to take a 3-2 lead. But 1:11 later, Ben Henshall scored for the Chiefs to tie the game. With just 22 seconds left to go in the frame, Rishaug scored his second goal of the game, on the powerplay once again, to give Kelowna a 4-3 lead heading into the third. Less than five minutes into the third period, Morcom scored his second of the contest to give Kelowna a two-goal lead again. But as they saying goes, a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey and that's proved to be true as the Coyotes got goals from Mathieu Lessard at the 9:39 mark and Scott Dyck at the 13:34 mark to tie the game 5-5. The rest of regulation and overtime solved nothing so the game went to a shootout. In the skills competition, Jake Kessler and Owen Miller scored for the Chiefs to give Kelowna the win. Chiefs goaltender Max Fowle made 43 saves in the win while Coyotes goaltender Hunter Arntsen made 52 saves in the loss.

It’s been awhile since Niagara Wheatfield went into the season not knowing who was going to score late in games — they’ve graduated a 1,000-point scorer three years in a row. But, things are different now. After losing nine seniors at the end of the 2023-24 season, many of whom played a part in winning Class A1 in 2022, it became clear that there was some rebuilding needed at Niagara Wheatfield if they want to be crowned champions anytime soon. The loss of Luke Walck, a two-time All-Niagara Frontier League player who was one vote away from player of the year last season, is sure to not only hurt, but change, the Falcon’s offense. Now 1-6 on a three-game skid, Niagara Wheatfield is off to its worst start since the 2019-20 season, when the team went 2-5 and finished the season 9-12 overall. There’s only one starter with varsity experience, Cameron Gruarin, who made it into the lineup after an injury halfway through his junior season. Starting besides him is a seventh-grader and three juniors. “We played so well the other night against North Tonawanda and then all of a sudden we just kinda had this moment and it was like, ‘Holy cow. What are we doing out there?,’” Niagara Wheatfield head coach Erik O’Bryan. “And it’s just a lack of experience.” The team is very inexperienced, but that doesn’t mean good things can’t happen, it just might take a little longer because they have growing pains to work through. There’s no big man like the 6-foot-5 Walck to rely on this year so the team has more shooters so they’re looking at a quick concept on the court. The Falcons weren’t able to all get together over the summer either, as so many of the players are multi-sport athletes. While it helps to have a team of athletes, it is no doubt a struggle when the group lacks individual experience, and experience playing as a team. While Gruarin’s experience makes him the unquestioned leader, he’s still learning with the rest of the group. With the Falcons all being thrown in the fire, they have the opportunity to rise or burn, but either way it is something they will do together. The lack of experience allows for the opportunity to be coached and learn things the way the coaches intend, hopefully minimizing bad habits and building team chemistry along the way. Niagara Wheatfield has a history of turning it around in recent years. O’Bryan’s teams have gone 20-16 before Jan. 1 dating back to 2019-20 — excluding the COVID-19 spring season in 2021 — and have rebounded to go a combined 46-17 in the New Year. “Obviously losing is definitely not the goal, but at the end of the day as long as we’re getting better, and each game has been much better,” Gruarin said. “Right now losing is fine, as long as we keep growing, I’m sure we’ll start winning by the middle of the season.” The energy presented at practices and games each day also helps NW stay focused and positive, two things that can help them improve their slow start to the season. The team is seeing improvement the more they play together and as team chemistry gets stronger. There are shots they trust each other to make now that they might’ve been hesitant with at the start of the year, and the team has already improved since their 37-77 loss to McKinley High School to open up the season. “As the season goes on our games keep getting closer and closer and I can see the fight and energy in our team as we keep going along and keep building this team,” Gruarin said.

Omolabake Fasogbon Sterling Financial Holdings Company Plc said it has achieved another milestone with the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recognising an additional N75 billion in its capital raise. The approval represents the final leg of the capital injection that was achieved through a private placement in September 2024, the bank explained in a statement yesterday. Building on the private placement’s success, Sterling launched a Rights Issue in October 2024, structured to provide existing shareholders the exclusive opportunity to deepen their stakes in the company and share in its growth story. The rights issue received significant interest and participation, highlighting the confidence and trust the company has cultivated among its shareholders over the years. Regulatory approval for the process is currently underway, marking another significant step in the recapitalisation journey. “The public is eagerly awaiting Sterling’s Public Offer, which will present an exciting opportunity for individuals to invest in the company. It is anticipated that the recapitalisation process will be completed with a Public Offer early next year, allowing wider participation from the public and further strengthening its commitment to shared value creation,” the bank noted. Group Chief Executive, Yemi Odubiyi, in a statement, described the capital injection and the approval as a validation of the company’s strategic direction and operational excellence. “This milestone reflects the confidence of regulators and stakeholders in our vision to redefine financial services in Nigeria and beyond. Our enhanced capital base empowers us to pursue transformative opportunities, deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders and drive impact across critical sectors of the Nigerian economy,” he stated. Odubiyi emphasised the company’s evolution from its origins as a merchant bank to its current status as a diversified financial holdings company. Powered by cutting-edge technology and a flexible operational model, the company has consistently demonstrated its ability to navigate market difficulties and seize growth opportunities. Reflecting on Sterling’s accomplishments, Odubiyi acknowledged the instrumental role of stakeholders, including regulators, investors, and customers. “We are grateful for the unwavering support and trust in our strategy, which has been pivotal to our journey. This recapitalisation strengthens our ability to unlock new opportunities, create value, and drive economic growth,” he added. The capital boost follows a year marked by robust financial performance and significant strategic achievements for Sterling. As at the last week in December 2024, Sterling witnessed a 19 percent surge in stock price, contributing to a remarkable three-year growth of 287.42 percent. In the first half of 2024, the company recorded a 51 percent increase in profit before tax compared to the same period in 2023 and achieved a 20 percent growth in total assets. These results demonstrate Sterling’s resilience and ability to deliver superior outcomes despite the complexities of Nigeria’s economic landscape, marked by high inflation and currency volatility. “As Sterling looks ahead, its focus remains firmly on innovation, sustainability, and value creation. With a fortified capital structure, the company is well-positioned to execute its ambitious growth plans, deepen its impact across critical sectors, and set new benchmarks for excellence in Nigeria’s financial services industry. This latest milestone marks a transformative chapter for Sterling Financial Holdings Company Plc as it continues to redefine the future of financial services in Nigeria and beyond,” it added.
