Curling Rimouski : 26 000 $ de plus pour sa relocalisation

25 août 2026 à 16:00

Le tournoi du 30e anniversaire du Club de golf L’Empress, tenu au bénéfice du projet de relocalisation du Club de curling de Rimouski, a permis d’amasser près de 26 000 $.

La présence de 160 joueurs, le 21 août dernier, a contribué au succès de l’événement.

La somme recueillie s’ajoutera au montage financier du projet de déménagement du Club de curling dans un nouveau complexe qui serait construit en annexe du chalet actuel du Club L’Empress, dans le district Pointe-au-Père.

Récemment, le Club de curling de Rimouski a obtenu une réponse de la Ville de Rimouski à sa demande d’aide financière, sans toutefois dévoiler le montant accordé. Le porte-parole du Club, Éric Desaulniers, avait qualifié la réponse de « verre à moitié plein ».

« On garde espoir, mais très sommairement, nous avons toujours un manque de 650 000 $ à aller chercher. On anticipait qu’on aurait entre 300 000 $ et 400 000 $ à récolter via des activités de financement », indiquait-il.

Compléter le montage financier

Le Club de curling de Rimouski poursuit donc ses démarches auprès de la population et des entreprises afin de compléter son montage financier.

Le dossier de la vente du terrain actuel du Club, situé dans le district Nazareth, doit également être finalisé. Selon monsieur Desaulniers, quelques détails restent à régler avec l’acheteur.

« Nous avons une rencontre sous peu. Si la Ville avait embarqué à 100 % dans notre demande, je pense que le projet serait enclenché. Il faut qu’on trouve des sous supplémentaires et le temps presse. »

Ronan Sullivan had tried a panenka twice in his life. Both attempts were at practice on the other side of the world, and one hit the crossbar. But his twin brother, Declan, was hardly surprised when Ronan turned to him and told him he’d chip the fifth penalty of a shootout that could win a scoreless tournament final, as millions tuned in online to see his Bangladesh side play against India in the Under-20 South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Championship.

“He didn’t even need to say it. I knew he was gonna do that the whole time,” Declan remembered, sitting next to his brother on the couch of their dorm room at Saint Joseph’s University. “I knew that if he got the last pen to win it, he was gonna do that. That’s just the him thing to do.”

Luka Dončić looks like a superstar adrift at the Lakers

25 août 2026 à 05:00

The Slovenian is one of the best players on the planet. But factors largely beyond his control have started to turn his career into a slog

Luka Dončić must feel as though, these past few months, he’s been twirling in a washing machine. He announced a separation from his fiancee in March; reports followed of a prolonged custody battle over their two daughters. As Dončić plays in the NBA and his children live in Slovenia, he doesn’t see them much as is. But after the reports of the rift with his ex emerged, he started playing some of the best basketball of his life: he led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 15-2 record in March, a stretch that included a torrential 60-point display against the Miami Heat. Behind Dončić’s brightening star, the Lakers seemed to be sharpening into a real contender. Then Dončić tweaked his hamstring in April and the illusion shattered. He watched from the sidelines as the Lakers limped out of the playoffs with an inevitable second-round defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Actually, Dončić must feel as if he’s been in turmoil for the past few years. He made his first – and so far only – NBA finals in 2024, leading the Dallas Mavericks there with a barrage of awesome shotmaking. As the best offensive player on the court while playing through multiple injuries, Dončić and his Mavs lost to the far deeper Boston Celtics in five games. As thanks, the Mavericks traded Dončić to the Lakers, citing defensive concerns, when what had really doomed them against the Celtics was that no one aside from Luka – who led his team in points, rebounds, assists and steals in that series – could play at the requisite level to win.

Le Baseball I.D de Rimouski et le Piloup de Rivière-du-Loup devront attendre à mercredi pour dénouer l’impasse dans leur série demi-finale de division dans la Ligue de baseball junior AA de la région de Québec. 

La pluie a empêché, lundi soir, la présentation du match no 3 de cette série qui est égale 1-1. Lex deux équipes vont donc se retrouver mercredi soir, 20h, au Complexe sportif Guillaume-Leblanc.

Pas de changement au monticule puisque le gérant, Dominic Sirois, donnera la balle au droitier Jakob Tremblay pour ce match sans lendemain pour une des deux équipes. Par contre, le congé supplémentaire de deux jours signifie que tout son personnel de lanceurs sera disponible.

Le gagnant du match de mercredi, et de cette série, affrontera Montmagny dans ce qu’on pourrait appeler une finale de division (3 de 5) ou une série quart de finale de ligue. 

Le champion de l’Est rejoindra ensuite les trois équipes qui sortiront des séries de la division de la grande région de Québec qui compte sur sept concessions. 

Le gouvernement fédéral commande ses brise-glaces au Québec

24 août 2026 à 20:58

Mark Carney a annoncé que le gouvernement fédéral avait confié à Chantier Davie, à Lévis, dans Chaudière-Appalaches, la construction de six brise-glaces.

Le gouvernement veut remplacer les brise-glaces vieillissants de la Garde côtière canadienne. 

Ces imposants navires:

  • ouvrent les voies commerciales maritimes;
  • répondent aux appels de bateaux en détresse.

Les nouveaux brise-glaces seront construits à partir d’acier et d’autres matériaux canadiens.

Selon Ottawa, le premier sera prêt dans 5 ans et l’ensemble de la flotte, avant 2038.

Le montant total du contrat s’élève à plus de 11 milliards $.

The WNBA has attracted grifters who care little for basketball – and whose latest stunt exposes the hollowness of their supposed concern

I regret to inform you that yet another dildo has hit a WNBA court. The Chicago Sky v Golden State Valkyries game was sullied by sex toys being chucked on to the playing surface on Friday. Aren’t we tired of all this yet? To paraphrase the Sky’s Natasha Cloud, it takes a lot of effort to bother with such a juvenile act.

This is yet another controversy for the WNBA, a league that up until a few years ago, most media observers ignored. The WNBA is full of incredibly talented players and has a rich history, but most sports fans treated all but ignored it for the majority of its 30-year existence. But when Caitlin Clark went pro, the league surged. Ratings, attendance, and interest exploded. But not all attention is good attention.

He got the wrong end of the stick. Donald Trump couldn’t figure out how to hold the green flag until his wife, Melania Trump, and Command Sgt Maj Matt Williams set him right. Then the US president waved the flag fast and furious like an excited schoolboy. The race was under way – and his conquest of Washington DC was complete.

Since returning to Washington, Trump has deployed the national guard, wrecked the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, demolished the East Wing of the White House and run the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts into the ground. His face adorns the Department of Justice, and he still has grand plans for a triumphal arch worthy of a Roman emperor.

Arthur Fils blasts past Flavio Cobolli to reach first Masters final in landmark win

  • French youngster beats No 7 seed 6-3, 6-4 in Cincinnati

  • Jessica Pegula battles past Swiatek to reach women’s final

In the middle of a tense, erratic start to a rain-delayed semi-final day in Cincinnati, Arthur Fils found himself locked in defence and miles behind the baseline on his serve at 3-3. He scurried from sideline to sideline, lunging toward the ball at full stretch, seemingly with no real chance of turning things around. As Flavio Cobolli swept to the net with the intention of finishing Fils off, however, the Italian soon learned that his opponent had another gear to reach. From far wide of the court, Fils pulverised a forehand passing shot winner beyond his astounded opponent, drawing a roar from the crowd.

That one point alone provided evidence of the athleticism, explosiveness and sheer audacity that have long marked Fils as such a rare, exciting talent, and it also set the tone for a monumental victory. From that moment onwards, Fils took control of the match and he marched into his first Masters 1000 final at the Cincinnati Open with a supreme performance, defeating Cobolli, the No 7 seed, 6-3, 6-4.

Maxim Massé boucle la boucle dans sa ville natale

Parents, amis et amateurs de hockey ont accepté l’invitation de Maxim Massé qui souhaitait partager avec eux sa journée avec le Trophée Gilles-Courteau remporté par les Saguenéens de Chicoutimi.

Le Rimouskois de 20 ans s’est prêté à la prise de photos et signature d’autographes, samedi, au Colisée Financière Sun Life. S’il n’y avait pas foule au passage du Soir, une plus grande affluence était attendue dans l’heure précédant le match préparatoire de l’Océanic contre les Remparts de Québec.

« J’ai reçu la coupe hier. On a fêté ça un peu à la maison, en famille. Aujourd’hui, c’était ouvert au public. Les gens vont arriver avant la partie de l’Océanic et venir nous voir en même temps. C’est le fun de pouvoir célébrer ça avec ma famille, avec mes amis, puis la ville de Rimouski. Après, on va la tournée de la page », a -t-il raconté.

Choix de première ronde (no 3) des Saguenéens en 2022, Massé a joué quatre saisons à Chicoutimi. Il a été nommé joueur le plus utile à son équipe dans la LHJMQ au terme de la dernière saison après avoir terminé au sommet des pointeurs avec 51 buts et 102 points. Il a ensuite été désigné joueur de l’année dans la Ligue canadienne de hockey (LCH). 

« Écoute, c’est un scénario parfait. Honnêtement, j’ai toujours cru en moi, j’ai toujours travaillé fort, j’ai toujours fait tout ce qui est à mon possible pour être le meilleur joueur de hockey, être une meilleure personne. Mais, si tu m’avais dit ça, il y a quatre ou cinq ans, à notre première entrevue, je n’aurais pas cru que j’aurais eu autant de succès, autant individuels qu’en équipe », poursuit-il.

Dans la NCAA

Choix de 3e tour des Ducks d’Anaheim au repêchage de la LNH en 2024, Massé poursuivra maintenant sa route vers les professionnels en évoluant avec l’Université du Massachusetts en première division de la NCAA. Il a encore deux ans pour signer avec les Ducks. 

Il a passé les six dernières semaines dans son nouvel environnement sur le campus de l’université.

« Tout est nouveau, un nouveau pays, une nouvelle langue, de nouveaux coéquipiers, une nouvelle maison, c’est un peu d’adaptation. Le personnel d’entraîneurs, mes coéquipiers, honnêtement, tout est correct. On est dix ou douze nouveaux et la manière qu’ils nous ont introduits, c’était vraiment A1. Ils nous ont fait sentir comme si on était déjà de l’équipe. »

Massé sera de retour à Amherst, au Massachusetts, dans les prochains jours. Sa saison de hockey débutera avec deux parties au Colorado, les 2 et 3 octobre. La rentrée locale se fera une semaine plus tard, contre les Tigers de l’Institut de technologie de Rochester.
