A leaving legend

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, July 5,2006 7:32 p.m.

DETROIT -- Steve Yzerman has laced up his skates for the Red Wings for the last time. That doesn't mean Hockeytown has to say goodbye to the longtime Detroit captain. Yzerman, who led the Red Wings to three Stanley Cup titles and spent his entire 23-year NHL career in Detroit, retired from playing Monday, but said he plans to stay in the organization while devoting more time to his family. "I look forward to a future in the game of hockey with the Red Wings in some aspect," Yzerman said as he announced his retirement at Joe Louis Arena, his home away from home for years.

Fever's Whitmore putting up All-Star numbers

By Alyson Brodsy and Cliff Brunt · Wednesday, July 5,2006 7:27 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tamika Whitmore's favorite player is Dennis Rodman, so it makes sense that she has taken great pride in being a superstar's sidekick for the Indiana Fever. While Michael Jordan got the glory for the Chicago Bulls, Rodman grabbed rebounds and played lockdown defense while winning NBA titles. And while Tamika Catchings has become an MVP candidate for the Fever, Whitmore has pushed her way into All-Star contention by embracing her role as the ultimate team player. She has averaged a team-best 16.2 points to help the Fever start the WNBA season at 12-6. Indiana coach Brian Winters said Whitmore has proven that she deserves to make the first All-Star appearance of her eight-year career, but the final selections won't be made until later this week.
