Miami Heat to hold training camp at Baha Mar

Miami Heat announced today that their 2024 Training Camp, presented by Baptist Health, will hold at Baha Mar in the Bahamas. It will last Tuesday, October 1 through Saturday, October 5, 2024.

After Media Day on Monday, September 30, at Kaseya Center, the HEAT will travel to the Bahamas. There they will conduct two-a-day practice sessions Tuesday through Friday at the award-winning luxury resort’s Convention, Arts and Entertainment Center. Additionally, Miami will conclude training camp on Saturday. There will also be a practice session open to invited guests before returning to Miami on Saturday evening.

Media availability will follow the first daily practice session only, with a viewing time updated every day. A media workroom will be set up within the Baha Mar Convention Center in the Baha Mar Grand Ballroom. Media should enter through the resort side entrance of the convention centre.

The training camp will not be open for public viewing.

Established by Grand Hyatt, the Baha Mar Convention Center is one of the largest event venues in the Caribbean. It is the ultimate event destination.

The 200,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor convention facility features state-of-the-art courts for players. It also has elevated seating experiences for viewers, and leading technology for film and broadcast training.

“We are thrilled to welcome The Miami HEAT back to Baha Mar as they gear up for an exciting 2024-25 NBA season,” Graeme Davis, President of Baha Mar said. “As the leading luxury resort in The Bahamas, we look forward to providing an exceptional training camp experience that exceeds their expectations.”

Aaron Rodgers preaches stability ahead of 2024 season: ‘Trust the process’

Aaron Rodgers will play for the New York Jets in a regular season match on Monday for the first time since September 11, 2023.

His presence is long overdue for Jets fans starved for excellent quarterback play. And if Rodgers delivers in line with his almost 20 years of elite performance, he will make the New York’s faithfuls’ dream a reality.

Although, this is not Madden NFL. A quarterback cannot just be plug and play. Rodgers knows this too well, and is ready.

“The mental part of it is the most important part,” Rodgers said Thursday ahead of the Jets’ season-opener against the San Francisco 49ers. “You’ve got to get your mind right. It’s a grind. It’s a long season, with a lot of ups and downs. You’ve got to prepare yourself to really get off the wave.

“You’ve got to find a way to be a stability point for the team so we’re not riding the highs too much or riding the lows because adversity’s gonna come at some point of the season. We’ve got to make sure we’re handling it the right way.”

Peterka anticipates homecoming at Global Series Challenge Germany

When the Buffalo Sabres travel to Munich for the 2024 NHL Global Series Challenge Germany presented by Fastenal on September 27th, they will not just be playing a preseason game. Rather it will be a special match for Peterka.

The Sabres will be performing the hometown of JJ Peterka and playing his former team, EHC Red Bull München, and it happens that it will be during Oktoberfest.

“We’re going to be all in the lederhosen,” Peterka said at the European Player Media Tour on Aug. 21.

That is right, the Sabres will spend some down time dressed in the traditional leather shorts.

“They’ll fit somehow,” Peterka said.

Even for a guy like Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, the 6-foot-5 goalie?

“Well, I think I don’t have an option,” Luukkonen said. “But I think it’s going to be very fun.”

It will be a special event for Peterka and Munich. Combined with two regular-season matches against the New Jersey Devils in Prague. The 2024 NHL Global Series Czechia presented by Fastenal on October 4-5 will help the Sabres bond.

“We’re expecting big things from JJ, what he’s going to set up for us,” Luukkonen said. “It should be a very fun trip, and it’s always something special to go see and play where somebody’s from.”

Peterka was born and bred in Munich. He grew up watching EHC München and later played for the club at Olympia Eishalle. The old arena hosted 6,256 and had the atmosphere of most European rinks, complemented by fans beating drums.

“I was always there with my parents cheering for the team,” Peterka said. “We were in the stands all the time. It was so special for me to play for Munich because I’m from there, growing up there. Yeah, having the chance now to go back there, play against them, play in front of all the fans again, yeah, it’s going to be really special.”

Hull City to announce 16th summer signing as Alzate in medical

Hull City are finalising the signing for former Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Steven Alzate. Alzate was undergoing a medical at the club this morning having travelled to Hull yesterday.

The Tigers announced their 15th signing of the summer towards the end of the transfer window last Friday. However, the club is now set to announce their 16th signee later today after accepting personal terms with the 25-year-old midfielder.

Alzate has not been in a club since he was released from Brighton at the end of last season, with the Seagulls sending him on loan to Standard Liege for the past two campaigns. With experience in the Premier League, the Colombian is a player City have eyed for the past two months.

After failing to get Jonas Meffert from Hamburg during the transfer window, Tim Walter now wants to bring in more reinforcements for his midfield, through Alzate. Alzate was with Leyton Orient before he switched to Brighton and they sent him to Swindon Town for a season, after he spent a year with them. Three years in and out of Brighton, he was loaned again to Belgium and Standard Liege.

Walter will ensure Alzate joins training next week as Hull City prepare for a Friday night match at home to Sheffield United. The club wants its first win of the year after a tough start to the German manager’s tenure.
