Uncasville, CT – CES Boxing returns to Mohegan Sun Arena for the first time in nearly seven years Saturday, August 20 with Summer Heat, the latest installment of its 2022 Fight Series featuring two of the sport’s hardest-hitting heavyweight prospects.

CES’ newest acquisition, 6-foot-6 right-hander Cassius Chaney of New London, CT, and 6-4 Carini, Sicily, native Juiseppe Cusumano headline Summer Heat in separate bouts. The two CES stablemates have combined for 41 wins and 32 knockouts in nearly two decades as pros and find themselves firmly entrenched among the nation’s top 20 heavyweights with an opportunity to inch closer to the dream of competing for a world title.

Summer Heat kicks off at 7 pm ET. Tickets are available online at cesfights.com or through the Mohegan Sun box office. August 20 marks CES’ first show at Mohegan Sun Arena since October of 2015, renewing a long-standing partnership between the region’s top combat sports promotion and one of the world’s foremost entertainment venues.

In addition to the highly-anticipated heavyweight showcase, Summer Heat features the long-awaited return of New London female featherweight icon Shelly Vincent, undefeated Irish super middleweight Francis Hogan of Weymouth, MA; and fast-rising bantamweight prospect Angel Gonzalez of Hartford, CT.

Hogan (11-0, 10 KOs), another recent addition to the CES roster and a member of the Iron Workers Local 7 union, returns after cruising to a unanimous decision win over Rodrigo Lopes Rodrigues in June. The undefeated Gonzalez (10-0, 6 KOs) aims for his fourth win of the year in as many tries, which includes a hard-fought victory over Ira Terry at CES’ April 2 showcase in Connecticut. Stay tuned for additional fight announcements.

Chaney (21-1, 14 KOs) returns to his home state August…

As part of a unique hands-on project, students in a “Sport Marketing” class at the University created a marketing plan for the Connecticut Sun and had the opportunity to present their plans to a group of leaders of the WNBA team.

July 6, 2022

By Renee Chmiel, Office of Marketing and Communications

Sport marketing students at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Joshua Hammond ’23 and his classmates in his “Sport Marketing” class had the opportunity to apply what they learned in the classroom for the duration of the spring semester as they developed marketing plans for a professional sports team. He and several of his classmates also were able to present their work to staff members of the Connecticut Sun, a WNBA team based in Uncasville, Conn.

Hammond and his teammate Emily Bogdanowicz ’23 met with the vice president of business operations for the Connecticut Sun, who outlined the team’s needs and goals for the marketing plan. Specifically, students were tasked with creating a plan that would draw millennials and members of Generation Z to the games. They applied what they learned in class – including analyzing a target market, advertising, and promotions – as they developed their plan.

While working with Connecticut Sun staff throughout the semester, students had the opportunity to network and learn more about the team. Hammond and Bogdanowicz, both sport management majors, were part of one of the two teams that presented their plans to their classmates as well as to Connecticut Sun staff members.

“This was a great opportunity for me because it gave me the chance to present our ideas in front of executives of a professional sports team,” said Hammond. “We wanted to make sure our ideas…

Former American Heritage-Delray wrestling assistant coach Johnny Eblen recently upset the Netherlands’ Gegard Mousasi by unanimous decision to capture the Bellator MMA middleweight title.

Eblen, 30, of Boynton Beach, won the title 50-45 at Bellator 282 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. He trains out of American Top Team in Coconut Creek.

Eblen coached at the school from 2015-2021 upon graduating from the University of Missouri where he was an Academic All-American and NCAA qualifier. Eblen was ranked in the top 10 in both his junior and senior years of school. He is currently 12-0 as an MMA fighter.

“He was a tremendous help with our program in helping many of our athletes,” said former American Heritage-Delray head wrestling coach J.P. Reese, who stepped down this year to spend more time with his family. “He was my first hired assistant coach and a secret to our success. He was the workout with the guys coach.”

After graduation from Missouri, Eblen relocated to Florida to take a non-MMA-related job, working full time as an estimator at Atlantic Southern Paving company and coaching wrestling on the side.

“It was fun, and it was interesting,” Eblen said of his time with the Stallions. “It was my first time coaching kids as a job. I did camps and stuff, and it helped me grow as an adult and as a coach and as a person.

“I would think I brought a lot to the table considering my background in wrestling, grappling and combat sports in general,” he said. “I started MMA because I missed competing at a high level. I was doing a normal, everyday 9-to-5 job and decided to find another avenue.”

Eblen said his success in MMA hasn’t surprised him.

“I think I have always been destined to accomplish things,” he said. “I think it was just a…

FAIRFIELD — Recently unveiled concepts for 15 sites operated by the Parks and Recreation Department call for major upgrades at some of the town’s most popular spots.

Parks and Recreation Director Anthony Calabrese said the concepts released are part of the department’s master plan, which has been in the works for about a year and aims to build a road map for the 90 or so town properties it oversees.

Calabrese said Jennings Beach would get the most upgrades under the concept if it was followed through with. The plan would be to build a pollinator pathway, an amphitheater, and a small dog park, among other improvements, at the site, according to town documents on the project.

“The South Pine Creek Recreation area one is a unique plan,” he said. “Even the Town Hall complex, I think, is a fantastic plan.”

Each concept is very different based on the site, Calabrese said, noting some call for complete overhauls while others would get minor improvements.

A pollinator pathway and dog park are also featured in the Lake Mohegan concept. The Town Hall concept calls for new and improved parking and pedestrian walkways as well as a community garden.

One concept is already receiving push-back. The Ash Creek Conservation Association sent out an email Thursday urging residents to object to a proposed amphitheater at the Ash Creek open space.

“We are concerned about the impact of sound and lights on the wildlife of Ash Creek, especially since we know the negative impact this will have on migratory shorebirds,” it said in the email. “Residents of Black Rock will also be concerned about the impact on their quality of life as sound travels…

Madeline Sayet in “Where We Belong”/Photo: Liz Lauren

RECOMMENDED

Many local cultural events in Chicago now begin with an acknowledgement, often prerecorded, that the land where the event takes place—the land where the audience is sitting—is the usurped homeland of indigenous peoples. It reminds us, too, that Native Americans are not gone from the city and a large local population still engages with their traditions and urban life. A busy culture-vulture will hear the pronouncement often and may become inured to it. That is, until it is spoken live, on stage, by Madeline Sayet, the Mohegan writer-performer whose autobiographical one-woman show, “Where We Belong,” is at the Goodman’s intimate Owen Theatre.

The Mohegan people (not to be confused with the Mohicans) are still centered around their homeland in Connecticut. Sayet’s great-aunt founded the Tantaquidgeon Museum in that state in 1931. Her mother pushed the U.S. government to recognize the Mohegan as a tribe, an effort that required compiling exhaustive genealogies. Historic connections and continuity mean a lot to Sayet and her people. So when Sayet emerges onto her set, a serpentine mound of earth onstage and a celestial array of lamps above, and walks upstage to acknowledge the legacy of local tribes, “Where We Belong” is already a tour de force. The performance grows even better as she delves into the travels she made, presumably in her twenties, which connected her personal history to her people’s past among the vanquishers and to their vital present, in part by digging deeply into the work of Shakespeare.

Sayet is an engaging storyteller who crosses several worlds. In the spirit world, her physical grace conveys the bird that is her inner spirit. Indeed, she declares that the play isn’t about Shakespeare, and isn’t a traditional Mohegan…
