News about Jeremy Roenick

After over ten years of eligibility - but no induction, Jeremy Roenick can finally call himself a Hockey Hall of Famer. Roenick - who played 20 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks, Phoenix Coyotes, Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings, and San Jose Sharks - will be officially inducted alongside the rest of the Hockey Hall of Fame's Class of 2024 this summer. In addition to Roenick, former Detroit Red Wings legend Pavel Datsyuk and ex-Nashville Predators and Montreal Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber are the other NHL players included in the 2024 class.

ISABEL WINNER AT LAKE NONA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB Annika Sorenstam has arrived in round three of the LPGA Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions with a sense of deja vu after former NHL star Jeremy Roenick knocked her off her perch. The LPGA legend, 53, had shared Roenick's overnight lead with Roenick, but as the ex-NHL player moved to a two-shot lead going into the final round, he faltered on Saturday and fell to second place. The leaderboard points to the possibility of a repeat of Sorenstam's playoff loss to Lowe two years ago. This time, Roenick will put an end to the 72-time LPGA champion's chances at Lake Nona in Orlando, Florida. Lydia Ko, however, who had been the overnight co-leader of Japan's Ayaka Furue, moved closer to ending her LPGA drought.

ISABEL BALDWIN AT LAKE NONA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB: Annika Sorenstam, a LPGA veteran, was no stranger to being ranked in the top of the leaderboard going into the weekend, but she may not be familiar with the following: former NHL and MLB stars are hot on her heels. Following round two, the retired golfer, 53, maintained her position in the celebrity division of the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. Sorenstam, a ten-time major winner two years ago, was unexpectedly knocked out by MLB pitcher Derek Lowe in a playoff, and she hasn't let the result go, shooting for a win at her home course. However, the Swede, despite putting in yet another good round to finish the leaderboard with 75 points, could face history repeating itself. Lydia Ko atop the LPGA professionals' leaderboard at the time, however, joined Ayaka Furue.

The LPGA began its 2024 season with a slew of new faces in its champions-only tournament alongside the celebrity of their celebrities, but it was the women's game's best name who stole the show on Thursday. Annika Sorenstam, the best women's golfer, was competing in the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, which brings LPGA winners from the previous two seasons playing alongside a field of celebrities in a Stableford format. However, the 'amateurs' will be left feeling she's in the wrong category after the 10-time major winner revealed that despite retiring in 2008, her game is still very much in tact during the first round. The Swede, along with former soccer star Landon Donovan, scored 40 points to lead, two points better than MLB infielder Jeff McNeil. Jeremy Roenick, the former NHL standout, was shot on 17 greens but remained close behind with 36 points.
