season of hockey firsts for Canadian forward Jamie Lee Rattray. The 21-year-old

Rattray helped lead the Golden Knights to their first Frozen Four appearance.
Theyll face the University of Minnesota on Sunday in the championship game. "Its
been unbelievable," Rattray told The Canadian Press after receiving the award
Saturday. "Especially as a senior, theres nothing more I could ask for than to
cap off my senior year playing in the last game of the season. "Its my last
college game. The first game ever I played in my career was against Minnesota
and now the last one. Its going to be exciting (Sunday) and a lot of emotions,
but youve got to go out there and play your game." Rattray ranked second in NCAA
scoring this season with 62 points -- 28 goals and 34 assists in 39 games -- to
help Clarkson set a single-season record for wins with 30. Shes the fifth
Canadian to win the Patty Kazmaier Award in its 17-year history. Cornell forward

University of Minnesota were the other two finalists for the award. Brandt led
Division 1 scoring with 22 goals and 41 assists for 63 points in 39 games.
Saulnier, 22, ranked fourth with 28 goals and 28 assists in 34 games. Previous
Canadian winners of the award were Mercyhursts Vicki Bendus of Wasaga Beach,
Ont., (2010); Harvards Sarah Vaillancourt of Sherbrooke, Que., (2008);
Wisconsins Sara Bauer of St. Catharines, Ont., (2006); and Harvards Jennifer
Botterill of Winnipeg (2001, 2003). The award was established in 1998 in memory
of Kazmaier, a Princeton defenceman who died of a blood disease at the age of
28. "Its definitely a great honour and especially with those nominees," Rattray
said. "It was kind of neat to be part of that group and it was neat to see at
the banquet today what Patty was all about. "I was pretty nervous at first, but
then excitement kind of came over me. Definitely an honourable group to be part
of." Rattray, five foot six and 172 pounds, will graduate with a degree in
business from Clarkson, which is located in Potsdam, N.Y. She had two assists in
Clarksons 5-1 win over Mercyhurst in Fridays Frozen Four semifinal. Rattray is a

round of the Australian Open.
Ryan McDonagh Jersey .No terms were released
but a raise was expected. The 27-year-old right back was a bargain at US$48,825
in 2014 and $46,500 in 2013.WASHINGTON - Although theyre not mathematically
eliminated from postseason contention, its safe to say playoff chances for the
New York Giants and Washington Redskins have gone by the wayside. The NFC East
rivals hope to save face Sunday night at FedEx Field. You can see all the action
on TSN beginning at 8pm et/5pm pt. Washington is a disappointing 3-8 on the
season and has lost three in a row, including Monday nights 27-6 drubbing at the
hands of the San Francisco 49ers in the first of three straight games in D.C.
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III had a rough go of it and threw for a
season-low 127 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. Griffin had five
touchdown passes to one interception in his previous two games and head coach
Mike Shanahan was asked if the young QB has regressed from last season. "No, I
dont believe so. I think I shared with everybody that we tried to do things a
year ago that gave him the best chance to be successful and things that he could
do very effectively that I thought he was very good at," Shanahan said. "The
drop-back passing game takes some time. It doesnt happen overnight. Robert is
getting better and better every game. He feels more comfortable with it and were
putting him through a lot of situations." The Redskins, who had a total of 190
yards on Monday, havent lost four in a row since a six-game slide in the middle
of the 2011 season and hope to get their offense going again this week. Getting
running back Alfred Morris off to a strong start could help and he ran for a
season-low 52 yards on 14 carries versus the 49ers. He had rushed for 90-plus
yards in five straight games and hasnt scored since Nov. 3. Morris, though, is
30 yards shy of 1,000 for a second year in a row and believes the Redskins are
better than advertised. "Its just frustrating because we know were better than
this," said Morris, who has 593 rushing yards and two TDs in the last six games.
"Were better than what were putting out there on the field. "If I had an answer
to the problem, I would tell you. We dont have an answer. Were the same team, we
have taleent, we know were better than our record says.
Mike Gartner Jersey. Its just frustrating
when you put it together and cant get a win." Washington is 0-3 in division play
and just 1-7 against the NFC. The Giants, meanwhile, are a game ahead of the
Skins in the division with a 4-7 record and had their season-high four-game
winning streak come to an end with Sundays 24-21 loss to the rival Dallas
Cowboys. Perhaps some trash talk before the game jinxed the G-men, whose winning
streak came on the heels of an 0-6 start. The Giants rallied to tie the game at
21-21, but the defense allowed Tony Romo and the Cowboys to march into New York
territory to set up Dan Baileys game-winning 35-yard field goal. Giants
quarterback Eli Manning passed for 174 yards with two touchdowns and no
interceptions and said theres still hope to make a run at an NFC East title. "I
think we know we have to win these next five games to give ourselves a shot,"
Manning said. "Its still just a shot, nothing is guaranteed, but theres still
hope and we know all we can do is worry about us trying to win each game and win
the next game and thats what were going to do." Andre Brown ran for a
career-high 127 yards on 21 carries and has two 100-yard games in three contests
this season. Rueben Randle led the receivers with 64 yards on three receptions,
while Victor Cruz caught just two passes for 27 yards. Cruz hasnt found the end
zone since Sept. 29, but owns 12 receptions for 235 yards and a TD in last two
meetings with Washington. Hakeem Nicks was inactive versus the Cowboys and is
questionable this week. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said Nicks is receiving
treatment on his abdominal strain. Nicks has yet to score a touchdown this
season. The Giants will host the Redskins on Dec. 29 at MetLife Stadium and
split last seasons series. They lead the all-time series with Washington,
92-64-4, and have won 10 of the past 14 meetings between the NFC East foes. New
York suffered a 17-16 loss in Landover last Dec. 3. Coughlin is 13-8 lifetime
against the Redskins and Shanahan owns a 4-6 mark against the Giants.
