Names in the Game

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Former Temple basketball coach John Chaney will finally be inducted into the school's hall of fame later this month.

Chaney led the Owls to the NCAA tournament 17 times and was the National Coach of the Year in 1988. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001.

Chaney won 741 games in his career, including 510 at Temple. The Owls made the postseason in 23 of Chaney's 24 seasons as coach.

Joining Chaney at the Jan. 24 ceremony will be Dr. Ray Moyer, who has served as the school's team physician since 1978. Chaney and Moyer will be inducted at an afternoon ceremony and introduced at halftime of the Owls' game against Charlotte that evening.

"These two men have reached the pinnacle of their professions, so it is ideal that they enter the Temple Athletics Hall of Fame together,'' said Temple athletic director Bill Bradshaw.

OTTAWA (AP) - Organizers of the World Junior Hockey Championship said the economic impact of the event is expected to total about $51 million.

Canada won its fifth straight gold medal Monday night with a 5-1 victory over Sweden.

Organizing committee executive Cyril Leeder said the final figure should be known in March once a survey of local businesses is completed, and that money generated by the tournament will be used to support junior hockey.

Leeder also said that 453,282 tickets were issued during the tournament, a 21 percent jump over the 2006 World Juniors in Vancouver. There were 20,380 tickets issued for the gold medal game, the fourth single-game attendance record set during the tournament.

Scott Smith, chief operating officer for Hockey Canada, said the "benchmark has been certainly set by Ottawa and it's something that we're very proud to be associated with.''

Members of the gold medal-winning Canadian team arrived at Toronto's Pearson International Airport on Tuesday with gold medals around their necks and fans cheering their appearance.

Team Canada MVP John Tavares, who plays for the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League, said winning the championship on home ice made the victory that much sweeter.

"You couldn't hear the whistles sometimes, it was so loud,'' said Tavares, who has been touted as the possible No. 1 pick in this June's NHL entry draft. "When you hear the final buzzer go off and we'd won gold, it felt like the roof was going to come off. It was an amazing experience - something I'll never forget.''

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Louisville football coach Steve Kragthorpe hired three coaches to fill out his staff for the 2009 season.

Former Utah State coach Brent Guy and former Tennessee assistant Larry Slade will work as defensive coaches while former Southern Mississippi offensive coordinator Jay Johnson will work with the offense.

Kragthorpe said the experience level of all three coaches will help the Cardinals as they try to rebuild after a 5-7 season. He also said special teams coach Mark Nelson had resigned to pursue other opportunities.
