Saskatchewan Roughriders wide receiver Taj Smith did not travel with the team to Winnipeg, where the club is preparing to face the Blue Bombers on Thursday. Smith was charged with assault last August after he and teammate Dwight Anderson allegedly beat a man outside of a Regina nightclub. A judge ordered Smith to stand trial after a preliminary hearing in June found that there was enough evidence to try him but not Anderson. Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin said he doesnt want any distractions and the team will deal with the situation when they get back to Regina. Ryan Smith or Chaz Schilens could line up in Smiths spot for Thursdays game, or Chris Getzlaf could move around, according to Chamblin. Starting guard Brendon LaBatte, who left Saturdays game early in the first quarter with an apparent ankle injury and did not return, took every rep in practice on Tuesday and according to Chamblin, is expected to play on Thursday. Chamblin said the injury wasnt serious and that LaBatte could have returned to the game if needed but with the Riders in control, it was decided to let LaBatte rest. Corey Watman filled in for LaBatte. The Roughriders are coming off a convincing 38-14 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks and hold a 3-2 record on the season. The Roughriders return home after this week to host the struggling Montreal Alouettes. Cheap Nike Shoes China Wholesale .

The Rangers took high-scoring centre Adam Mascherin with the second pick in the OHL draft. The five-foot-nine, 197-pound Mascherin had 71 goals and 66 assists in 66 games with the Vaughan Kings and joins a Kitchener squad that scored the third-fewest goals in the OHL this year in posting the leagues second-worst record at 22-41-2-3. There was no drama regarding whod be taken ahead of Mascherin. On Friday, the Sarnia Sting announced they would select American Jakob Chychrun, a six-foot-two, 195-pound defenceman with the Toronto Jr. Canadiens, first overall. "Im really looking forward to playing for coach Trevor, (head coach Trevor Letowski) and my future teammates and working hard with them every day to hopefully one day build this team into a playoff contender," Chychrun said. The 16-year-old Chychrun had 16 goals and 27 assists in 29 games this season. He was also the youngest member of Ontarios team at the U17 World Challenge, where he had a goal and three assists in five games. Chychrun is the son of former NHL defenceman Jeff Chychrun, who won a Stanley Cup in 1992 with the Pittsburgh Penguins. "Were not only bringing into our organization an exceptional hockey player but an extremely mature and great person in general," said Rick Sinclair, the Stings head scout and player-personnel director.dddddddddddd But Chychrun was certainly in the minority as 16 of the 20 first-round picks were forwards. The Ottawa 67s, selecting third overall, continued that trend by taking left-winger Travis Barron, a six-foot-one, 175-pound forward who was teammate of Chychrun with the Jr. Canadiens. Last year, Ottawa had the top pick and used it to select centre Travis Konecny, who was named the leagues top rookie in 2013-14. Konecny, 17, led all OHL first-year players in scoring with 70 points (26 goals, 44 assists) in 63 games. Three Americans went in the first round. After Sarnia took Chychrun, the Niagara IceDogs selected forward Logan Brown at No. 6, The six-foot-four, 210-pound Brown, a native of Chesterfield, Mo., had 25 points (14 goals, 11 assists) in 15 games with the Indiana Ice this season. Then at No. 18, the London Knights took left-winger Max Jones, a six-foot-two, 190-pound forward from Rochester, Mich. Jones had 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) and 121 penalty minutes in 24 games with the Detroit Honeybaked under-18 squad this season. Both players come from hockey families. Browns father, Jeff, was a former NHL defenceman who holds the St Louis Blues team record for most points by a defenceman (78 in 92-93). Brad Jones played centre for the Winnipeg Jets, Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers from 1986-87 to 1991-92. ' ' '
