KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- About 100 people gathered on Tennessees campus Wednesday night and told their favorite personal anecdotes about former Lady Volunteers basketball coach Pat Summitt at a candlelight vigil.The vigil took place at Pat Summitt Plaza, which includes a bronze statue of the coach and has served as a meeting place for mourners since Summitt died Tuesday morning at the age of 64.Fans took turns describing their personal connections to Summitt that showed examples of her determination, her empathy and her sense of humor. They sang Rocky Top near the end of the vigil.I have a feeling that right now shes making angels do laps, said Nora Lou Wilson of Knoxville.The dozens of floral arrangements that were at the foot of Summitts statue Tuesday night had doubled in size by the start of Wednesdays vigil.An orange scarf had been placed around her neck. Signs on the concrete wall behind the statue featured hundreds of signatures. A wood carving of the state of Tennessee stood behind the statue and included the message, Now go lead your team in heaven.Alicia Manning, who played for the Tennessee womens basketball team from 2008-12 and was part of Summitts last team, said she expected the floral arrangements to continue increasing up until the July 14 ceremony at Thompson-Boling Arena celebrating the coachs life.From now until then its going to keep getting bigger, Manning said. Obviously by then its going to be insane, which it should be. She deserves that.The most emotional story at the vigil came from Becky Evans of Knoxville, who described an encounter her family had with Summitt while her father -- an avid Tennessee fan -- was undergoing quadruple-bypass surgery. Summitt, who was in the hospital because of an injured player, overheard Evans and her mom talking about how much their father would love to meet the coach.Evans said Summitt stayed with her and her mom for three hours. When Evans father was out of surgery, Summitt went into his hospital room, spent half an hour visiting him and later thanked him for being a Tennessee fan.I just came tonight to honor a great lady of character, Evans said as she looked back at the statue. (I was) 17 years old and scared that your dad was going to die and not knowing, and all alone.This lady took it upon herself to care for two East Tennessee girls and share her love. I just wanted to honor her tonight and tell her, `Thank you, Pat. Thank you for caring about us, and thank you for caring about my dad. Some fans used the vigil as an opportunity to promote bringing back the Lady Volunteers nickname for all Tennessee sports and collect signatures to petition that cause. Some speakers campaigned for that while giving their testimonials.In a move that took effect in July 2015, all Tennessee womens sports teams other than the basketball squad started being called the Volunteers rather than the Lady Vols.School officials said the basketball team could continue calling itself the Lady Vols because of the championship legacy established by Summitt.School officials announced in February that the other womens sports teams would wear a commemorative patch on their uniform in 2016-17 to honor the Lady Vols legacy, a move that came after legislators introduced a bill that would have required Tennessee to call all its womens sports teams the Lady Vols. The legislative measure was then withdrawn from consideration.David Backes Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer.

Sulaiman, 44, was chosen unanimously Tuesday in a vote by the leadership, the World Boxing Council said. Sulaiman becomes the sixth president of the organization.The New Jersey Devils have boosted their forward ranks with free agent signings, including a veteran scoring winger.Numbers Game looks at the Devils acquisition of Michael Ryder.The Devils Get: RW Michael Ryder. Ryder, 33, is a five-time 20-goal scorer who tallied 16 goals and 35 points in 46 games last season; his best per-game point production since his rookie season, 2003-2004. His 213 goals ranks 27th since 2003-2004. While Ryder can find the net, he doesnt stand out otherwise. He has played more than 17 minutes per game once in his career. His recent goal-scoring surge, 51 in 128 games over the last two seasons, tied for 11th, is due to an elevated shooting percentage. Over the last two seasons, Ryder has scored on 16.3% of his shots, fifth-best in the league, but that followed two seasons when he finished on 10.1% of his shots, and his career mark is up to 12.8%, so regression lurks around the corner. Montreal added Ryder part way through last season, in exchange for Erikk Cole, gaining future financial flexibility by shedding Coles contract, but they received good production from Ryder (10 goals, 21 points in 27 games).dddddddddddd Having signed Danny Briere as a free agent, the Canadiens have effectively found a player that they deem to be Ryders replacement. Briere signed for two years and $8-million with Montreal while Ryder has signed a two-year, $7-million deal with the Devils. Even with some falling back, Ryder should be a productive contributor for the Devils, playing in a top-six scoring role and provided that hes with players that can get him the puck, say on the wing with Patrik Elias and either Travis Zajac or Adam Henrique in the middle, but it shouldnt be shocking if Ryders production could be more in the 18-to-23-goal range for the next couple seasons.
