The hockey bloodlines run deep in this weekends NHL draft. Familiar names like Bertuzzi, Brodeur, Burke, Comrie, Domi, LaFontaine, Mantha, Rychel, Stevens, Subban, and Tambellini could be called Sunday at the podium at the Prudential Centre in Newark, N.J. Defenceman Darnell Nurse also has impressive family ties. But his come from the gridiron. Father Richard played wide receiver for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. His uncle, by marriage, is former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb. Darnell chose hockey. His parents were happy to see him opt for a different sports path. "That was more my Dad," said Nurse. "My Mom too. I mean they both pretty much said for safety reasons, stay away from football. Im thankful for it now." He sees the toll football took on his father, reeling off the damage he noted when the two were spending time together recently on the familys backyard deck in Hamilton. "His hands are mangled, he cant move some of his fingers and hes got an elbow that doesnt move right. I looked at that and though those are battle wounds. Something maybe one day I get to show my kid," Nurse said. Its not as if Nurse, who stands almost six foot four and weighs 185, took up a non-contact sport in hockey. "Not at all," he said. "I think the biggest thing for them is I can probably control a little more hitting people in hockey than in football where you get hit every play. Put me on the back end and I get to control what happens." Nurse, 18, has excelled in his chosen sport. Central Scouting ranks him fourth among North American skaters and second among defencemen behind Seth Jones. In his second year with the OHLs Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, Nurse scored 12 goals and added 29 assists and 116 penalty minutes in 68 games. People have compared him to a young Chris Pronger. His high draft rating earned him a trip to the Stanley Cup final, along with Jones and top-rated forwards Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin. He already knew MacKinnon and Drouin from playing with them at the Ivan Hlinka Tournament. At the Cup, Nurse marvelled at the media horde in the Bruins locker-room following a pre-game morning skate. "Something Ive never experienced before," he said. "It was kind of exciting to watch ... I was getting hot in there and I was doing nothing." He also enjoyed meeting Chicago stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. "The mess that they put defenders in, being able to meet those guys was great," he said. On the Boston side, he liked watching the David Krejci-Milan Lucic-Nathan Horton line. Nurse grew up idolizing the likes of Scott Stevens and Jarome Iginla. So it comes as no surprise that he likes being a prickly opponent. "One of the best part of my game is being someone whos hard to play against," he said. "I think the fights kind of come with just battles, and people trying to challenge me after I challenge them. Something Im not afraid to do but at the same time its not something I go out and look for." Nurse has also made a mark off the ice, winning the Bobby Smith Trophy as the OHLs Scholastic Player of the Year this season. He earned an 85 per cent average in Grade 12. "His work ethic and lifestyle allow him to have elite results academically and athletically," Greyhounds GM Kyle Dubas said at the time. As for football, Darnell is true to his Dad, following his beloved Tiger-Cats. Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic . The team says the Spain international has a muscle pull in his right leg.

INCHEON, South Korea -- Brittany Lang hit driver for a tap-in eagle on the par-4 15th and birdied the last for a 7-under 65 and the second-round lead Friday in the LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship.A day after Se Ri Pak ended her Hall of Fame career in front of her home fans, Lang nearly aced the 251-yard 15th. Her ball hopped onto the green, curled right toward the pin and missed by a few inches on the high side before stopping a foot away.Yesterday that hole was playing into the wind. I just laid up short of the bunkers and wedged on and still made a birdie, Lang said. Today was downwind, so I could carry it. I just hit a nice little high-cut driver just right of the pin. It landed nice and soft and kind of fed down there. ... I swore it was going to go in. On the par-5 18th, the U.S. Womens Open champion rattled the flagstick on the first hop with a wedge, leaving a putt a couple of inches longer than the one on 15. She had the eagle and five birdies in the bogey-free round in calm, cool conditions at Sky 72.It was a very enjoyable day, Lang said. The greens are really firm, but roll really nice. It was such a perfect day of weather.Lang had a 10-under 134 total. The 31-year-old American won the U.S. Womens Open in July at CordeValle in California, beating Anna Nordqvist in a playoff.Solheim Cup teammate Alison Lee, the first-round leader after a 65, had a 70 to fall a stroke back. She chipped in for eagle on 15 to match Lang, then bogeyed the 18th. The 21-year-old UCLA student drove in the left rough and hit her third over the green into more rough, leaving a downhill flop that raced 7 feet past.Overall today, I feel like I played pretty well shooting 2 under. Unfortunately, on the back nine I struggled a bit, Lee said. I didnt make any of the putts I looked at on the back. I missed a lot of birdie putts coming down. On 10, I actually three-putted. I think thats what got me scared. I just couldnt get the ball in the hole.Cristie Kerr made it an all-Solheim Cup final threesome Saturday, shoooting a 65 to reach 7 under on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course.ddddddddddddSouth Koreas Sung Hyun Park also was 7 under after a 65. The Korean LPGA player tied for second behind Lexi Thompson last year, opening with a 62.I dont think I have a particular strategy for this course, but I think its a course thats definitely advantageous for long hitters, Park said.Pak retired after her first-round 80, ending her career in South Koreas lone LPGA Tour event. She won 25 LPGA Tour titles -- the last in 2010 -- and five majors, two of them during a rookie season in 1998 that was a catalyst for the boom in South Korean and Asian womens golf.I was definitely teary eyed. A lot of girls around me were teary eyed, Lee said about Paks retirement ceremony Thursday. Just showed what a huge impact she had on all of us. It was really cool to see.Lee is winless on the tour.Its a huge goal/dream of mine to win out here, Lee said. Im going to do my best to try not to think about it the next few days and just play golf, and hopefully everything will just fall into place.South Koreas In-Kyung Kim , the winner two weeks ago in China in the first of six straight events in Asia, was 6 under along with Frances Karine Icher .
