Three NHL stars enter U.S. Hockey HOF

Hockey: Longtime NHL players Chris Chelios, Keith Tkachuk and Gary Suter were selected for induction into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday.

They were joined by Philadelphia Flyers founder and current owner Ed Snider along with play-by-play announcer Mike Emrick. The formal induction will be this fall.

Chelios played 26 NHL seasons with Montreal, Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta. He left after the 2009-10 season as the all-time leader in games played by a defenseman (1,651). He also was part of three Stanley Cup championships.

Suter spent most of his 17 seasons with Calgary and helped the Flames to a Stanley Cup crown in 1989.

Tkachuk played nearly two decades and is one of just four American-born players to score 500 career NHL goals.

• Sharks sign Burns to five-year extension: The relationship between San Jose and newly acquired Brent Burns has gotten off to such a good start that the All-Star defenseman signed a five-year, $28.8 million contract extension before even suiting up for the Sharks.

Burns had 17 goals last season, third among all blue- liners. He also had 29 assists.

Stern: NBA labor talks going nowhere

NBA: NBA talks have started again and are apparently going nowhere.

A downcast commissioner David Stern said “nothing” gave him reason for encouragement after a 2 1/2-hour meeting between owners and players, the first to include leadership from both sides since the lockout began exactly a month ago.

Stern added nothing had changed since the last meeting on June 30, hours before the old collective bargaining agreement expired, and said he doesn’t feel players are bargaining in good faith.

Players argue that although owners insist they are committed to making a deal, their proposals say otherwise.

• Ex-NBA player arrested on drug charges in Arizona: Authorities say a former NBA player is facing drug charges in western Arizona after he was arrested last week.

An Arizona Department of Public Safety officer pulled over 35-year-old Samaki Walker on Thursday near Kingman.

As the officer approached Walker’s car, he could smell marijuana, said agency spokesman Capt. Stephen Harrison. A search of the vehicle produced one gram of marijuana, 259 prescription pills and eight bottles of an unknown prescription, Harrison said.

Walker did not have a prescription for the drugs and the basketball player said some of them were steroids, Harrison alleged.

New U.S. soccer coach introduced

Soccer: Juergen Klinsmann sometimes sounds more like a youth development director for U.S. Soccer than the new men’s national team coach.

The former Germany player and coach was introduced, and he spent much of the time talking about how to mold future American stars, not managing current ones.

Klinsmann makes it clear he views his charge as bigger than just preparing Landon Donovan and his teammates for major tournaments.

He contends his background of international experience plus American savvy is the perfect blend to accomplish that. He won a World Cup title as a player and starred for elite European clubs, then coached Germany to a third-place finish at the 2006 World Cup.

Portland police say Harrington was hit from behind just before 8:30 p.m. Sunday by a passing SUV driven by a 26-year-old man who remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. He was cited for following too close.
