The Philadelphia Flyers and forward Wayne Simmonds have agreed to a six-year contract extension. Kareem Jackson Jersey . The deal is believed to have an annual average value of around $4 million per season. "We are pleased to announce that we have agreed to a multi-year extension with Wayne Simmonds," general manager Paul Holmgren said. "Wayne plays the game with courage and honor and we believe he will continue to be a very good winger for our organization." "Im extremely happy to have this deal in place," Simmonds said. "Were going to have a good team in Philly for a long time and I just wanted to be able to be a part of hopefully bringing a championship back to the Philly faithful." The 23-year-old scored a career-high 28 goals to go with 21 assists while playing in all 82 games in his first season with the Flyers. He was traded to Philadelphia from the Los Angeles Kings along with Brayden Schenn last June, 2011 as part of the Mike Richards deal. A resident of Scarborough, Ontario, Simmonds has 67 goals and 75 assists in 322 NHL contests with the Flyers and Kings. Simmonds is scheduled to earn $2 million this season in the final year of a two-year, $3.5 million deal that carries an annual cap hit of $1.75 million. His new extension begins in the 2013-14 season. Glover Quin Jersey . Roddick beat Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2 to win the Atlanta Open and earn his 32nd ATP World Tour title on Sunday. Duane Brown Jersey . "Its only fitting that the day took pretty long," a relieved Volstad said Sunday after pitching the Chicago Cubs to a 5-0 win over the Colorado Rockies. The start of the game was delayed 2 hours, 23 minutes by rain, and there was another weather interruption of 30 minutes after the eighth inning before the game was called. http://www.houstontexansfansprostore.com/brian-cushing-jersey . He looked like a new, younger version of Peyton Manning. The Colts rookie threw two touchdown passes, took advantage of several key Minnesota penalties and marched Indianapolis 45 yards in 23 seconds to set up Adam Vinatieri for a 53-yard field goal with 8 seconds left, which gave Indianapolis a 23-20 victory over Minnesota in Lucks home debut. Andre Johnson Jersey . Confined to practices and film sessions for the past week -- and growing increasingly antsy in the meantime -- the Spurs expressed relief Sunday after watching the Los Angeles Clippers knock out Memphis in the NBAs last first-round playoff series to finish up and finally lock down their matchup for the Western Conference semifinals. Arian Foster Womens Jersey . The Italian football federation made the announcement on its website. Balotelli had been included in the starting lineup that coach Cesare Prandelli announced Thursday. GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Canadas Mary Spencer won Canadas second gold medal of the day, taking the 75-kilogram womens boxing title at the Pan American Games on Friday. Steven Jorens and Richard Dober Jr. also reched the top of the podium, winning the mens K2 1,000-metre race. But Canada also lost a medal when wakeboarder Aaron Rathy tested positive for a banned substance. The 23-year-old native of Nanaimo, B.C., was forced to return his silver medal after the stimulant methylhexaneamine was found in his system. Rathy apologized, blaming it on a supplement. Canada is fifth in the medal standings with 110 (26 gold, 36 silver, 49 bronze). The United States leads with 220 medals, followed by Brazil (128), Cuba (124) and Mexico (120). Spencer, from Windsor, Ont., fought to an 15-11 victory over Yenebier Guillen of the Dominican Republic. "Its very exciting because the Pan American Games are so prestigious," Spencer said. "Its such a big event, an important event." Torontos Jorens and Dober, from Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Que., won in three minutes 17.230 seconds, 1.928 seconds ahead of Cubas Reinier Torres and Jorge Garcia. Argentinas Pablo De Torres and Roberto Geringer Sallette (3:19.599) took the bronze. The victory earned Canada a spot for Canada in the event at the 2012 London Olympics. "Its definitely an awesome feeling to win again," said Jorens. "Weve been looking forward to this race since the world championships. We had a really great plan and we executed our race plan exactly. "We are really excited, looking forward to training for next year." Elsewhere at the Games, Canadas Emilie Fournel won silver in the womens K1 500-metre kayak race, while Philippe Duschesneau took bronze in the mens K1, 1,000-metre race. Canadas womens water polo team settled for silver after losing to the United States 27-26 in a penalty shootout. Canada won a silver in fencing, losing to the United States in the mens team foil final. Canada added three medals in gymnastics when Kristina Vaculik earned a silver in womens balance beam, Mikaela Gerber won silver in womens floor exercise, and Hugh Smith took bronze in the mens vault event. The judo team turned in three bronze medals, with Joliane Melancon, Nick Tritton and Stefanie Tremblay each reaching the podium. Camadian divers added to the medal haul as Edmontons Eric Sehn and Winnipegs Kevin Geyson earned the bronze medal in the mens synchronized 10-metre platform event. Canadas Sorin Alexandru also earned a bronze in the mens under-84 kilogram karate. In water polo, Canada led 5-2 and 7-4 before the Americans rallied to tie the game at eight before the end of the fourth quarter. After two scoreless overtime periods, the U.S. won the shootout 19-18. Calgarys Emily Jean Csikos led Canada with five goals, while Krystina Alogbo of Riviere-des-Prairies, Que., Joelle Bekhazi of Pointe-Claire, Que., and Dominique Perreault of Montreal added one each. "We had a strong start," said Alogbo. "We swam stronger than them. However, it was our responsibility to not let them come back. We showed that we have a good team with a lot of character." The loss cost Canada more than a gold medal. The Americans qualified directly for the London Games, while Canada will have to survive further qualifying next April in Italy for a shot at the Olympics. J.J. Watt Elite Jersey. Calgarys Anthony Prymack, Montreals Etienne Lalonde-Turbide and Nicolas Teisseire of Boucherville, Que., won the silver medal in the mens team foil event, falling 45-35 to the Americans. Fournel, from Dorval, Que., won silver in 1:54.900, just 0.657 seconds back of Carrie Ann Johnson of the U.S. for the gold. Argentinas Alexandra Keresztesi (1:55.765) was third. "I knew I had to be aggressive from the beginning, but I also wanted to play a smart race and make sure Id be able to go until the end," said Fournel. "I knew I gave it my all, but at the end of the day you want to pass the line first. Its great to come in second, but its better to win." Duschesneau, from St-Denis-de-Brompton, Que., paddled to a time of 3:44.504, a day after picking up a silver with Dober, Jorens and Connor Taras of Waverley, N.S., in the mens K4 1,000. "I was a bit nervous before the race because there were two false starts, so that kinds of pumps up the anxiety for everyone, but overall I had a good start," Duschesneau said.
