The Edmonton Rush traded forward Corey Small to the Vancouver Stealth in exchange for first-round picks in the 2016 and 2019 NLL Entry Drafts. A very difficult trade for us to make, Corey was the first player I drafted when I came to Edmonton in 2009. Hes been a very good, committed and passionate player for us from day one and hes an even better person. I will miss him a lot, said GM and head coach Derek Keenan. Small was the Rushs first-round selection (ninth overall) in the 2009 NLL Draft out of the University of Albany, and quickly established himself as one of teams top offensive threats. In 2011, Small led the Rush in scoring, amassing 63 points including a career-high 40 assists. In 2013, Small set career-highs in goals (28) and points (64), and he ends his tenure with the Rush as one of the clubs all-time leading point-producers. He leaves the Rush with 218 regular-season points, one behind Jimmy Quinlan for second place, as well as fourth in goals (88) and second in assists (127). Small also left his mark in the Rush record book. Alongside Mark Matthews and Shawn Williams, Small co-holds the team record for points in a single regular-season game with nine, and, with Ryan Ward, he co-holds the team record for goals in a single playoff game with five. After missing all of the 2014 NLL season due to a knee injury, Small returned to the Rush this year, and had notched one goal and three assists in Edmontons first two games. The Edmonton Rush would like to thank Corey for the outstanding contribution he has made to the team over the past 6 years, added Keenan. The trade gives Corey an opportunity to play closer to his home in Victoria and also the opportunity for our team to get closer to the line-up mix we used last season. Nike Air Max NZ Mens .

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Joe Torre, Tommy Lasorda and Jim Leyland were among the many friends and family members at Tropicana Field on Saturday to celebrate the life of longtime baseball man Don Zimmer. The tribute was held before the Tampa Bay Rays played Seattle. Zimmer, a senior adviser for the Rays, died Wednesday at 83 in a hospital in nearby Dunedin. Both teams wore Zimmers No. 23 Brooklyn Dodgers jersey as they lined up along the foul lines. Fans stood and cheered at the end of a video tribute. There is no funeral or other memorial service planned. More than 20 family members, including Zimmers wife "Soot" -- they were married at home plate during a minor league game in 1951 -- also attended. "A great life," Soot Zimmer said. "No regrets." Son Tom Zimmer, a scout with the San Francisco Giants, caught the ceremonial first pitch thrown by granddaughter Whitney Goldstein. Torre says Zimmer was "one of a kind" and "an institution." Zimmer was Torres bench coach for four World Series championships with the Yankees. "His loss creates a void in my life," Torre said. "I hired a coach who became a family member, basically. I think baseball is just going to miss the presence of him. He was a big teddy bear, ttheres no question about it.dddddddddddd" Zimmer spent 66 years in baseball as a player, manager, coach and executive. "I just hope that people remember what a great baseball man this guy was," Leyland said. "He was a character, but he wasnt somebody that you laughed at when you understood how much this guy knew about baseball. His passion for the game and his passion for people." "Its kind of an ironic day," he said. "Todays the day of the Belmont, as you know, and everybody knows how he liked horses. Family came first, baseball second, horses third. So, family is here today, were going to have a ballgame and the Belmont is today." Zimmer convinced Torre not to make ties mandatory when the Yankees travelled. Torre, who wore a tie Saturday with horses on it, removed it when the subject came up during the ceremony. Yankees star Derek Jeter made a video statement. So did Yankees manager Joe Girardi, whose first big league manager was Zimmer with the Chicago Cubs. "He made an impact like no else has," Texas Rangers senior adviser Tom Giordano said. The ceremony ended with "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" played on a bagpipe. "Perfect," Tom Zimmer said. "Emotional." ' ' '
