The summertime road trip that captivates Canadian communities is back – and its bigger than ever before. Now in its sixth consecutive year, the award-winning Kraft Celebration Tour launches Tuesday to help Canadians build better places to play. Whether thats creating parks, improving baseball fields, or upgrading basketball courts – Kraft Canada and TSN want to celebrate and inspire communities to become active. Beginning Tuesday, Canadians can nominate their project at kraftcelebrationtour.ca for the chance to win $25,000 towards building a better place to play in their community. New this year, one Top 10 community project will win a $100,000 grand prize – as decided by Canadians through two days of voting. All winners will also host a live broadcast of Canadas most-watched sports news program, TSNs SportsCentre, as part of this summers cross-country tour from August 15-24. Leading the special SportsCentre broadcasts are anchors Darren Dutchyshen, Jennifer Hedger, and Kate Beirness. A fourth host will be announced in the coming months. By the end of this years campaign, SportsCentre will have marked 60 on-the-road live broadcasts across Canada. "We believe that healthy, active living starts with having places to play," said Jack Hewitt, Vice President, Consumer Insights and Portfolio Marketing, Kraft Canada. "Were very proud of the Kraft Celebration Tour and our ability to support recreational facilities in cities and towns coast to coast. Its inspiring to watch communities rally around a common goal and show such incredible hometown pride." "Canadians have shown a tremendous outpouring of support for the Kraft Celebration Tour, and their passion demonstrates the power of sports at a grassroots level," said Stewart Johnston, President, TSN. "We are immensely proud to take SportsCentre on the road once again and give back to Canadian sports fans by helping them build better places to play." Ian Happ Cubs Jersey .

Even with the salary cap being set lower than many general managers expected and hoped for at $69 million and whats considered a shallow pool of top-end players available, this unrestricted-free-agent period figures to follow the familiar script of teams bidding up prices to keep up with each other. Kerry Wood Cubs Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. Willson Contreras Cubs Jersey . 1 goaltender tonight when they conclude a four-game road trip versus the Winnipeg Jets.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- After a forgettable weekend, Anton Khudobin helped the Carolina Hurricanes get a much-needed victory on Tuesday night. Khudobin made a career-high 46 saves and Andrei Loktionov and Patrick Dwyer each had a goal and an assist to send Carolina past the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1. Nathan Gerbe also scored, and Jay Harrison added two assists for the Hurricanes, who were criticized by coach Kirk Muller after weekend losses to Boston and Edmonton. "In the neutral zone we did a better job of getting speed and getting on the forecheck," Carolinas Jordan Staal said. Boone Jenner scored for Columbus, which outshot the Hurricanes 19-0 in the third period. Carolina jumped ahead at 3:41 on its first shot. Gerbe grabbed a loose puck that defenceman Fedor Tyutin couldnt handle and on an odd-man rush and scored his 15th of the season from the right circle. "When you score first its always important and gives you a little confidence," Khudobin said. "Im happy with the win. I would probably be more happy if I didnt get scored on with like a minute left. But we got the result, we won. Thats most important for me." The Hurricanes were close to a playoff spot on Feb. 7, but they entered the game having lost nine of 12 and are likely to miss the post-season again. The Blue Jackets are in a tight race in the Eastern Conference playoff race. They dropped a rare one at home where they are 10-3-1 in their past 14. "It seemed we had some pretty good quality chances," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "We hit a couple posts (during the game). We had our opportunities. I think we were doing some things to create offence. We just werent able to finish." Sergei Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 20 shots.dddddddddddd. He was replaced by Curtis McElhinney to start the third period. Early in the second period, Loktionov poked home his fifth to make it 2-0 on the power play -- and Carolinas eighth shot -- with Jenner in the box for delay of game. Bobrovksy stopped Harrisons point shot -- that broke the stick of Columbus Derek MacKenzie propelling the blade into the slot -- but defenceman Jack Johnson couldnt stop Loktionov. "I think the second period we picked it up and basically we scored at the right time with timely goals," Muller said. Columbus had chances the rest of the period, but couldnt beat Khudobin, who made a nice stop on R.J. Umberger. The Blue Jackets took two more penalties in the period that tempered their momentum. Then with room down the right side, Dwyer scored his seventh at 17:20 on a slap shot from the right circle that beat Bobrovsky near side. In the third period, Khudobin turned aside one shot after another until Jenner scored his 13th on a redirection with 50 seconds left. "Its funny, weve been on the other end so many times this year outshooting teams and coming up short," Muller said. "Change it around tonight and your goalie wins the hockey game. I guess it balances it out." Notes: The 47 shots for Columbus were a season high. ...The Hurricanes last won in Columbus on March 8, 2004, a span of four games. ... Blue Jackets LW Blake Comeau knocked Hurricanes D Ryan Murphy from the game in the first period with a hit into the glass.
