                                      ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Baker Mayfield Jersey . -- The way the Colorado Avalanche see it, two Bourques are better than just one.Forwards Gabriel Bourque and Rene Bourque each signed one-year deals Monday after being invited to camp on a professional tryout. Gabriel Bourques deal is a two-way contract, meaning he still has to clear waivers.The Bourques, who are not related, add depth to a forward crew that already includes Nathan MacKinnon, captain Gabriel Landeskog and Matt Duchene.We feel like theyve earned the right to be here, earned the contracts, first-year Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. Both are a little bit different players, but both have been good in their own ways through training camp and the preseason games.Gabriel Bourque is coming off an injury-marred season that limited him to 22 games with Nashville. He suffered a head injury on Nov. 27 and didnt return.Its been a tough 10 months, said Gabriel Bourque, a fifth-round pick by the Predators in 2009. But its a new day, a new year, a new start. Theres a little less weight on my shoulders right now.In Gabriel Bourque, Colorado gets a tough competitor. Takes a lot of pride in the defensive part of the game, being a gritty competitor, Bednar said.Rene Bourque brings a wealth of experience having suited up in 660 career games with Chicago, Calgary, Montreal, Anaheim and Columbus. The 34-year-old played in 49 games with the Blue Jackets last season and scored three goals.In Rene Bourque, Colorado receives a player who can move up and down our lineup, on the left side and the right side, Bednar said.As an added bonus to signing his deal, Rene Bourque can finally bring his family to the Mile High City. They were in a holding pattern until he made the roster.Its going to be nice to get them down here as soon as possible, he said.After such a solid career, attempting to make the roster on a professional tryout was a bit humbling. But he took it in stride.I put myself in this situation and so I had to dig myself out, said Rene Bourque, who was signed by Chicago as a non-drafted free agent in 2004 after playing collegiately at the University of Wisconsin. I wouldnt have come here if I didnt think I could still play. ... It was up to me to perform and make a name for myself again.In other moves Monday, the Avalanche reassigned defenseman Duncan Siemens to San Antonio of the American Hockey League.The roster is nearing completion with the season about to kick off for Colorado on Saturday against Dallas. Bednar is still waiting on the health status of a few of his veteran players to put the finishing touches on his team. Jarome Iginla and John Mitchell are dealing with aching hips, while Blake Comeau has a groin ailment.We dont know exactly whos going to be ready for Saturday, Bednar said. The individual situations have a trickle-down effect for the rest of the roster. Simeon Thomas Jersey . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Antonio Callaway Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes.

It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. RICHMOND, Va. -- A University of Virginia football player was bullied and harassed by teammates because of his learning disability and seriously injured after being forced to fight another athlete in order to prove his manliness, according to a federal lawsuit filed against the school this month.Aidan Howard, who has since left the school, said in the complaint filed in a Pennsylvania federal court that his teammates called him slow and retarded in front of coaches when he couldnt quickly comprehend plays. Howard also suffered a broken eye socket when he was forced to fight another first-year player in August as part of his initiation onto the team, according to the complaint.A university spokesman said the school is investigating, but couldnt comment further on the lawsuit.The university is aware of Mr. Howards allegations and has made all of the required external notifications in accordance with state law, Anthony de Bruyn said in an email. The university has been actively investigating these reports consistent with its obligations under the law and University policy, he said.The complaint says the hazing was done primarily by two wide receivers: Doni Dowling and David Eldridge. In addition to making fun of Howard for his learning disability, it says the two would make him eat his lunch and dinner alone because he was not as tough and manly as others within the football program. Chad Thomas Jersey. .De Bruyn did not immediately respond to an email seeking information about whether the players have obtained attorneys.The lawsuit states Dowling and Eldridge orchestrated a locker room fight between Howard and another player after a team practice that was witnessed by more than 100 people, including Famika Anae, a graduate assistant for the team. The lawsuit also says Dowling and Eldridge forced Howard and the other student to `enter the ring to flashing lights, loud music and announcements to simulate a prize fight.The lawsuit names Teresa Sullivan, president of the university; Craig Littlepage, director of athletics and Marques Hagans, wide receivers coach. It states that Hagans would participate in the bullying and that the university knew why Howard chose to leave the school, but did nothing about it.Howard transferred to Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania shortly after the incident and its unclear if he will ever be able to play football again, the complaint states. Howard is asking for unspecified monetary damages.---Online:More AP college football: http://collegfootball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Cheap Jerseys 2019 Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping ' ' '
