If the World Cup of Hockey is to return in 2016, it could have a very different look. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports that a meeting between the National Hockey league, the NHL Players Association and the International Ice Hockey Federation on Monday brought up the possibility of mixed teams being added to the next incarnation of the event. While nothing has been finalized, one of the proposals would see one or two mixed teams, with one possibly comprised of players from European nations to compete alongside the six traditional hockey powers: Canada, the United States, Russia, Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic. A European All-Star team would comprise the best players from Slovakia, Switzerland, Germany, Latvia and other smaller hockey nations. The six nations slated to ice individual teams for the 2016 World Cup formed the field for the Canada Cup competitions, held regularly between 1976 and 1991. The field was expanded out to eight nations when the tournament was re-born as the World Cup of Hockey, including Germany and Slovakia for the 1996 and 2004 competitions. Switzerland and Slovakia were listed seventh and eighth in the world in the last IIHF rankings, released in April. Slovenia and Latvia finished seventh and eighth, respectively, at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia while Austria, Slovenia and Norway also qualified for the 12-team Olympic tournament. The 16-team 2014 IIHF World Championship saw France, Denmark, Italy, Belarus, Germany and Kazakhstan compete. A European All-Star team could see a forward group including: Anze Kopitar (Slovenia), Thomas Vanek and Michael Grabner (Austria), Marian Hossa, Tomas Tatar and Tomas Jurco (Slovakia), Nino Niederreiter (Switzerland), Mats Zuccarello (Norway), Mikkel Boedker and Frans Nielsen (Denmark), Zemgus Girgensons (Latvia), Mikhail Grabovski (Belarus) amongst others. The defence corps could see the likes of Zdeno Chara, Andrej Sekera and Andrej Meszaros (Slovakia), Dennis Seidenberg and Christian Ehrhoff (Germany), Roman Josi and Mark Streit (Switzerland) while the goaltenders could include Jaroslav Halak (Slovakia), Jonas Hiller (Switzerland) and Frederik Andersen (Denmark). Two players from the European All-Star nations were also selected in the top 10 of the 2014 NHL Draft, including Edmonton Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl (Germany) and Winnipeg Jets draftee, left winger Nikolaj Ehlers (Denmark).

Big audiences in South Africa are watching a 24-hour television channel dedicated to coverage of the sensational trial. Turns of phrase from the courtroom — the defence lawyers "I put it to you" challenge to prosecution witnesses — are creeping into popular culture. The rise and fall of the double-amputee runner, who competed in the London Olympics in 2012 and then killed model Reeva Steenkamp less than a year after that inspirational triumph, is a consuming saga for South Africans that has drawn sheepish comparisons to reality television shows. The more people hear, the hungrier they are for more. Was Oscar on his stumps or wearing prosthetic limbs when he battered the toilet door with a cricket bat? Does he scream like a woman, as the defence suggests, or did neighbours indeed hear a womans screams on the night of the killing? Will apparent missteps by police investigators muddy the prosecutions case? Did Pistorius vomit during graphic testimony about Steenkamps wounds because of anguish, or was he trying to curry sympathy with the impassive judge? Some people turn up their noses at the spectacle, then dive into television or social media to soak up the latest, often extraordinary revelations. The parade of witnesses, some shown in the televised proceedings and some concealed from TV viewers to respect their privacy, gives a glimpse into rich, diverse, flawed and accomplished lives, swept into a single narrative from previously anonymous routines. Prof. Gert Saayman, the pathologist, described Steenkamps wounds and the general impact of gunshots on flesh and bone in metaphor-studded monologues so precise and structured that they were almost lyrical, the macabre contents notwithstanding. Here was a man, clinical and courtly, who had conducted between 10,000 and 15,000 autopsies over the decades. "Death is effectively a process rather than an event, and may take some minutes for it to come to its conclusion at a physiological level," he said. Saayman was followed by witness Darren Fresco, who dropped an expletive while recounting alleged gunplay involving Pistorius, his onetime friend, in the months before the runner shot his girlfriend. Fresco seemed miffed at the defences suggestion that he was wearing tracksuit ppants in the middle of summer, rather than shorts as he claims, during a 2012 incident in which a gun went off in a Johannesburg restaurant.dddddddddddd "If Its got Wheels or a Skirt its Gonna Cost You Money," reads the caption on Frescos Twitter feed. Fast-living image aside, he aptly summarized the intense media coverage, saying it seemed to be everywhere: "It doesnt matter where you look, where you turn, where you go, what you listen to, what you watch." Later came the police investigators, cast by defence lawyer Barry Roux as bumblers reminiscent of the "Keystone Cops" characters from the old silent movies. Col. Johannes Vermeulen squatted awkwardly as he sought to show that Pistorius was not wearing prostheses when he hit the toilet door with a cricket bat, based on the policemans analysis of marks in the wood. "Im not standing on my knees when Im washing the dishes," Vermeulen said to emphasize his point. "Maybe if youre scared of your wife, you can do that," Roux replied, briefly lightening the sombre mood. Pistorius said he hit the door with the bat after realizing he had shot Steenkamp by mistake, fearing she was an intruder. Prosecutors say he killed her after an argument. South Africans are increasingly captivated by Rouxs relentless cross-examination. A producer at the Highveld Stereo radio station recorded a parody rap song. Lyrics include: "I put it to you/that it is true/everything you say/I will misconstrue/Im Barry Roux/And I put it to you/Ten times in a row/Just to confuse you." The 2-week-old trial is expected to run into April. One commentator said it is even interfering with South African democracy ahead of elections on May 7. "The trial will peak at the same time as the election campaign swings into high gear, which means political parties will have to take extraordinary measures to hold the voters attention," Ranjeni Munusamy wrote in the Daily Maverick, an online news outlet. The role of Jaco van Vuuren, the court sketch artist, seems quaint alongside all the high-tech scrutiny. Van Vuuren, who knew Pistorius before the killing, said it was emotionally difficult at first. "I said to him before this court session that Im not there to judge him. Im just there to do my job," van Vuuren told South Africas Eyewitness News. "He understands it. And the first day, he just hugged me and asked me for coffee."
