Manitoban Hockey Legend Dead
Hockey Hall of Famer Andy Bathgate has died at the age of 83.
The Winnipeg-born player starred for the New York Rangers but won his only Stanley Cup with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He made his mark on the N-H-L by consistently leading a woeful Rangers team in scoring in the 1950s and early 1960s.
He won the Hart Trophy as the league's M-V-P after recording 88 points in 70 games in 1959.
Threats Made to Saskatchewan Hospital
No patients were evacuated, but the public has been told to stay away from the hospital in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, while police investigates three threatening phone calls.
The Kelsey Trail Health Region announced the temporary closure yesterday morning.
R-C-M-P say they investigated and found nothing suspicious at the hospital, adding all three calls came from the same phone number in the community.
To be on the safe side, the health region diverted emergency patients to hospitals in nearby Melfort and Tisdale.
There's been no word on when the Nipawin hospital will re-open to the public.

Provinces Offer Support to National Inquiry
The provinces say they'll support and co-operate with a national inquiry into missing or murdered indigenous women.
The pledge was made in Winnipeg at the end of a two-day meeting involving federal and provincial ministers as well as indigenous leaders and families of the victims.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett says that means the inquiry will examine areas under provincial jurisdiction, including child welfare.
Details of the inquiry -- including its scope, who will lead it, and when it will start -- have yet to be worked out.
