LAS VEGAS -- It's a couple of hours before the University of Nevada Las Vegas Rebels hockey game against Cal State Long Beach. The Sobe Arena is about a 15-minute drive from the Strip, out along North Rancho Drive, and is connected to the Fiesta Rancho Hotel and Casino. In fact, at least one of the Long Beach players ends up wandering through the casino, past slot machines and cocktail waitresses decked out in short Santa outfits, with his gear, trying to find the rink. On the far wall of the arena is a big banner advertising comfortable rooms for $24. 99 a night at the casino that claims to be the "Royal Flush Capital of the World. The Rebels are a club team, which means that, unlike for their higher-profile colleagues with the football and basketball teams, there are no scholarships. , and the team relies on outside sponsors to help it compete against other club teams. The coaches all have other jobs, including head coach J. J. Hartmann, who played Division I hockey with Denver University and later played in the ECHL. This is hockey these days in Las Vegas.

His left hand flicked a pair of jabs, and then a right cross and a left hook, too, recalled the ritual of butterfly and bee. Black sunglasses flew from his pocket as he gathered speed, black shirttail flapped free, black heavy bag rocked and creaked. Black street shoes scuffed faster and faster across black moldering tiles: Yeah, Lawd, champ can still float, champ can still sting. He whirled, jabbed, feinted, let his feet fly into a shuffle. '' I shouted at the end of each one as the second hand swept past the 12 on the wristwatch he had handed to me. And then, gradually, his shoulders began to slump, his hands to drop. The tap and thud of leather soles and leather gloves began to miss a quarter-beat. Ali stopped and sucked air. He undid the gloves, tucked in the black shirt, reached reflexively for the black comb.
Raised in New Jersey, Trout saw a lot of Jeter and said all week he felt honored to play alongside him. "Growing up I was setting goals to myself that when I get -- if I ever get the chance to get -- to the big leagues, that's how I want to play," Trout said. "And the way he carries himself on and off the field, how he respects the game -- always hustling, it doesn't matter what the score is. If they are down 10 runs, he is always running the ball out.
