Voila! The Toronto WNBA expansion team finally has a name— Toronto Tempo. Set to debut as the league’s 14th franchise in 2026, Tempo will be the WNBA’s first team outside the United States. Team president Teresa Resch described the name, “Tempo is pace. It’s speed. It’s a heartbeat. And it’s what you feel when you step into the streets of this city and in the energy of the people who call Canada home.”

While the team seems prepared to hit the ground running, some think Canada might not be entirely ready to have their basketball team.

Gilbert Arenas has a unique take on this. In a recent tweet, shared by Krysta, the former NBA star expressed concerns about travel logistics for the new team. “By 2026, y’all better be flying private. It shouldn’t be all commercial. I’m just saying, commercial flights to Toronto are going to be a motherf—-r with customs. Hopefully, y’all are all private by then,” Arenas said.

He didn’t stop there. “I don’t play no more, so it doesn’t affect me. I’m just saying, charter flights this season, maybe not be the most ideal planes for some teams, and kind of janky travel conditions. But do you think this expansion will really help the league grow? Or will it water things down? I don’t know.”

Arenas might be onto something. Toronto Pearson International Airport has earned a reputation as one of the worst airports in North America for customer satisfaction, despite contributing over $42 billion annually to Ontario’s GDP. According to a JD Power survey, it ranked 20th out of 21 mega-sized airports, scoring 36 points below the average for factors like terminal facilities, baggage claims, security checks, and food options.

And it’s not just one survey. CTV News Toronto also ranked it among the five worst major…

In a partnership with a burgeoning local brand, Mohegan Sun will open a Sift Bake Shop in the spring, the casino has announced.

The bakery will open alongside A.T.Y. Bar & Bonbons “presented by Grey Goose,” a boutique cocktail bar serving bonbons and other confections, the latest ventures pursued by the husband-and-wife team of celebrated pastry chef Adam Young and Ebbie Young.

The couple got their starts in hospitality at the Ocean House Hotel & Resort in Watch Hill, where Adam was executive pastry chef.

He opened the Sift Bake Shop in Mystic in the spring of 2016, focusing on desserts, artisanal breads, pastries and macarons, all made daily from scratch. He opened a second Sift in Watch Hill in 2018, and added the Mix Restaurant & Rooftop Bar at the Mystic location in 2019.

In 2020, he opened Young Buns Doughnuts in Mystic and started Adam T. Young Confections, an online chocolate company. He opened a third Sift Bake Shop in Niantic in 2022.

The Food Network crowned him “Best Baker in America” in a 2018 competition.

Jeff Hamilton, Mohegan Sun’s president and general manager, said the casino’s partnership with A.T.Y. Hospitality is in keeping with its approach to maintaining a variety of dining options.

“A key part of our strategic goal in recent years and in looking to the future is to bring immersive and high-quality F&B (food-and-beverage) brands to the resort that focus on great food, exceptional guest service and unique dining experiences that drive new visitation and increase visits from our loyal guests,” he said.

“Sift is certainly a continuation of this strategy, as we developed a relationship with chef Adam Young and his wife, Ebbie, through our annual Sun Wine & Food Fest, and from there saw the growing success of Sift and associated brands throughout the region.”

“It is not uncommon to see a line out the door of Sift Bake Shop at their locations in Mystic, Niantic and Watch Hill,”…
