HUNDREDS of trans hospital patients have been admitted as women despite having conditions only suffered by men. Analysis by The Sun suggests at least 482 were admitted as female in a year despite having prostate, testicle or penis issues. They included 263 who suffered hyperplasia in the prostate — a non-cancerous enlargement of the gland that cannot occur in biological women as they do not have prostates. Another 85 had prostate cancer and 48 had “disorders of male genitals”. Figures cover the year to March at hospitals in England and Wales. NHS rules allow trans patients to have their gender changed on databases but kept off patient records. One GP insisted: “There’s pressure on staff not to offend patients. “But the fact they are recorded as women in the statistics is ridiculous.” Tory MP Sir John Hayes said: “You cannot change biology. “It is an immutable fact that these conditions only appear in biological men.” He added: “The fact the NHS is pandering to this is nonsense.” The NHS said: “These statistics report the gender registered by patients and therefore include trans women, with further patient details included in their health records.”Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby will lead Team Canada into the NHL's inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off. The Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins captains were two of the 23 players named to the Canadian roster on Dec. 4 ahead of the round-robin tournament in Montreal and Boston this February. Team Canada's full 2025 NHL 4 Nations Face-Off roster is below. FORWARDS DEFENSEMEN GOALTENDERS The Vegas Golden Knights are the most heavily represented NHL team on the Canadian roster with Stone, Pietrangelo, Theodore and Hill all heading to the tournament. The Tampa Bay Lightning are sending Cirelli, Hagel and Point, while Bennett and Reinhart will represent the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. Team Canada's stacked forward group is led by two of the best playmakers in the NHL in McDavid and Crosby. Point and Stone could be tabbed to center Team Canada's bottom six, although Stone's role will come down to his availability. It could be an encouraging sign for the Knights that Stone, who has been sidelined since Nov. 6 with a lower-body injury, was named to the roster. Crosby skated during the 2024 All-Star Game alongside fellow Nova Scotia native MacKinnon. Both he and McDavid, who grew up near Bennett, could get the chance to skate on a line with old friends in February. Makar and Toews, who form the top pairing in Colorado and helped lead the Avs to the Stanley Cup in 2022, could be matched up once again for Team Canada. The biggest question regarding Team Canada's starting lineup could come down to the net as Binnington, Hill and Montembeault potentially each have a shot at starting in February. Binnington may have the edge in terms of experience, but Hill matches him with one Stanley Cup win, and Montembeault is putting up a strong season so far despite a struggling Canadiens defense. Reinhart, who leads the NHL with four short-handed goals headed into Wednesday, and Konecny, who paced all skaters with six last season, are likely to be dangerous additions to Canada's penalty kill. Lightning penalty killers Hagel and Cirelli are also likely to see ice time when a Canadian player is in the box. Notable players absent from the Team Canada roster are Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard, Nashville Predators winger Steven Stamkos and Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele. Bedard remains a likely pick to represent Canada during the 2026 Olympics. The last best-on-best hockey tournament took place during the 2016 World Cup of Hockey in 2016. Crosby, Marchand and Pietrangelo were featured on Team Canada's roster during the event, and Crosby was named MVP after leading Canada to victory. McDavid and MacKinnon also played in the tournament as members of the under-23 Team North America. Team Canada will be coached in the tournament by Jon Cooper, who led the Tampa Bay Lightning to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2020 and 2021. He will also coach the Canadian team during the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics. The puck drops on the 4 Nations Face-Off on Wednesday, Feb. 12, as Canada takes on Sweden in Montreal. A rivalry matchup against Team USA is set for Saturday, Feb. 15, before Team Canada travels to Boston to take on Finland on Monday, Feb. 17. The championship game is set for Thursday, Feb. 20, at TD Garden.
"You're getting sacked in the morning." That was the chant belted out from one corner of Goodison Park on Wednesday evening. It was being aimed in the direction of Gary O'Neil, and it was coming from his own team's supporters. The Wolves boss stood helplessly in his technical area as he witnessed his hapless side crumble to a 4-0 defeat against Everton, heaping on pressure and misery as the fans turned against him. It was the type of performance and result which has been known to cause struggling managers before him to be shown the door, and O'Neil is now seemingly clinging to his job. The ex-Bournemouth boss went over to applaud the travelling fans at full-time, but he was roundly jeered by the unhappy following. "I go over there to see them because I appreciate every single one of the Wolves fanbase," said O'Neil. "They have given me unbelievable support since I arrived at the football club. "We managed to produce some unbelievable stuff last season – away at Chelsea, Tottenham and West Brom - with a team that was heavily tipped by most of the nation for relegation, but we were nowhere near it, ever. "We enjoyed that together, so now that it is tough I am happy to go over there and look them right in the face and take any criticism they want to throw at me. I accept responsibility for my part in that and that will not change how I feel about them and what they have given me over the last 15 months." The chant about "getting sacked" was not the only one that the irate Wolves supporters directed at their manager. It was one of the most printable, though. Indeed, the Wolves support rubbed salt into O'Neil's wounds by singing about former manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who is now in charge at Nottingham Forest. Wolves finished 14th in O'Neil's maiden campaign last season, 20 points above the Premier League drop zone, but this felt like the tide turning against the manager, losing the support of the fans, and a night that he may not recover from. Defender Craig Dawson scored two own goals as Wolves allowed a Toffees side who had not scored since 26 October - a run of five games - to net four goals. Wolves travel on Monday to West Ham, whose own manager Julen Lopetegui - previously in charge at Molineux, of course - has real question marks over his future. Should both managers survive until then, the match will no doubt be cruelly dubbed as 'El Sackico'. O'Neil said: "I understand how difficult this role is because I know every single detail at this football club and the dressing room, but that is my job, which is what I signed up for and what I need to do. "I will continue to take responsibility for all of my part on where we are at this moment. Whatever the fans may think of me and my team, there definitely isn't anyone working harder to help their football club than me. "I will continue to do so until someone tells me not to." Wolves lie 19th in the league, three points adrift of safety. Their nine defeats is the most they have had in the top flight at this stage of a season since 2010-11, when they edged their way to survival by a point. The goals shipped against Everton mean Wolves have now let in a league-high 36 goals from their 14 games - six more goals than bottom side Southampton - and their most at this early stage in a top-flight season since conceding 40 in 1964-65, when they were relegated. Asked if he is the right man to take the club forward, O'Neil replied: "I will back myself in any role given to get the most out of the group. "I understand the drive for change from the supporters, you never know how many of them it is or what percentage it is, but the negative noise is always the loudest. "The playing group are still together and I still have a lot of things that I will try and do to given them a better chance than this evening."AHLEN, Duitsland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--dec 4, 2024-- LR Health & Beauty, het toonaangevende digitale social commercebedrijf in Europa, heeft haar kwartaalrapport voor Q3 2024 gepubliceerd en kon een bevestiging van de groeitrend aankondigen.
