Barbie will make dolls to honour Williams, Sinclair and star athletes

EL SEGUNDO , Calif. — Barbie dolls will honour Canadian soccer star Christine Sinclair and tennis champion Venus Williams , plus seven other athletes as part of a project announced by Mattel on Wednesday.

“Throughout my career, I’ve always been driven by the idea of shattering glass ceilings and staying true to myself, and Barbie’s mission couldn’t resonate more deeply with that ethos,” said Williams, who has won seven Grand Slam singles titles. VANCOUVER — Quinn Hughes couldn't quite find the words to describe his emotions Monday night. The sting of losing Game 7 to the Edmonton Oilers on home ice was still washing over the Vancouver Canucks captain. "Hard to reflect," he told reporters. "I'm kind of just trying to take it all in right now." After falling behind 3-0 in the second period, the Canucks clawed out a pair of late goals in the third period, then pushed hard for a last-minute equalizer.
