MORRISTOWN, N.J. -- Mark Sanchez plans on staying put after this season. As unlikely as it may seem because of his hefty contract, the injured quarterback wants to return to the New York Jets. And, Sanchez joked, he could be back with a super-powered arm. "The way things are coming along, it sounds like Ill be bionic," Sanchez said with a big smile Tuesday. "I dont want to say like Rookie of the Year, but hopefully something like that, where Ill come back better." Sanchez is out for the season after tearing the labrum in his right shoulder in the preseason and having surgery early last month. He spoke publicly Tuesday for the first time since his surgery before volunteering at a community soup kitchen at Church of the Redeemer in Morristown. The quarterback has three years remaining on his contract, but his $13.1 million salary cap number for next season makes it unlikely the team would keep him at that amount. If it were up to Sanchez, though, he wouldnt go anywhere. "Thats all Im thinking about, coming back next year, leading this team and playing well," he said. "I know Ive heard a lot of stuff on the outside about me not being here and stuff like that. I dont know if thats necessarily the case in the building. Hopefully, not. Hopefully, Im a Jet. "Thats where I am. Thats where I want to be." When asked if he truly sees a future in New York as the Jets quarterback, Sanchez didnt hesitate. "Absolutely," he said. "I mean, theres no doubt about that. Its been a dream come true to play here and I dont want to go anywhere else, thats for sure. I know I have (three) years left, and I dont ever want that to end. I love being a Jet and I plan on being here." Sanchez has not spoken to the team about his future with the franchise, but it would make financial sense for the Jets to release him in March. Thats when a $2 million roster bonus is due, and the move would save the Jets $8.3 million in cap space. "Well see what happens," he said. Sanchez was injured in the Jets third preseason game against the Giants when Marvin Austin slammed into his shoulder. Coach Rex Ryan was heavily criticized for putting Sanchez in the game in relief of rookie Geno Smith because it was widely assumed the veteran had likely won the quarterback competition -- and was playing with mostly backups and third-stringers at the time of the injury. While his doctors have been happy with his progress, Sanchez acknowledged it has been tough to be a spectator while bouncing between doctor visits in New Jersey, California and Florida. "Its definitely different, something I dont wish on anybody," he said. "Not even on your worst enemy you dont wish this on. Its hard to be away. Its hard to not be in the locker room, be on the plane, be on the bus. Little things like that, you miss it so much. "All the wins, even the tough times, the struggles, it makes you appreciate those times and how much you love being out on the field and how much you love playing." In an ironic twist, the Jets could actually use Sanchez in a big way at this point. He looked mostly solid during the summer in Marty Mornhinwegs system before the injury. "Its just tearing me up that I cant play for him," Sanchez said. Smith is struggling mightily with one touchdown and 10 interceptions in his last six games, but the only other options are inexperienced backup Matt Simms and veteran David Garrard, who hasnt played a regular-season game since 2010. Through it all, Sanchez focuses only on getting back on the field. "This could be a blessing in disguise," he said. "A lot of people have told me that. Its hard to see that while youre going through it, but it does give you a different perspective." NOTES: Sanchez created a stir on Twitter last week when a picture of him wearing his hair in corn rows surfaced. He said it was the result of losing a bet to a friend, and chose the corn rows -- which he had for only a few days and were gone Tuesday -- over shaving his head or dying his hair. "It was pretty bad," he said. "It was ugly." ...

PAUL, -- Kevin Dineen is still looking for his first win as head coach of Canadas womens team, but after nearly completing a comeback victory over the United States on Saturday, he says hes comfortable with the ability of his new squad.HELSINKI, Finland -- There might be only one person who is a more passionate supporter of Canada at the IIHF World Hockey Championship than John Tavares. His mom, Barb. The tournament has turned into an annual event for the family, with John currently starring on the ice for a third straight year and his parents back among the entourage of Canadian friends and family offering support. Its an event none of them would miss -- at least as long as Johns New York Islanders arent part of the NHL playoffs. "Any time theres anything for Hockey Canada youre certain to see my face," Barb Tavares said Sunday before the group gathered for a Mothers Day brunch. She is the epitome of a committed hockey mom. In fact, John Tavares isnt sure he ever would have scaled the heights he has in hockey without her support. When he was a young phenom just beginning to chase his NHL dream, it was almost always Barb who shuffled him from rink to rink while his father, Joe, was busy running the family business. "My dad didnt take me to hockey growing up very much," said Tavares. "He was always working and working late. My moms the one that dealt with a lot of things -- getting me to the rink and getting me on the ice and dealing with parents sometimes and giving me the best opportunity to do something I love to do. "I think what my mom was really good at, she really understood how badly I loved to play and wanted to play and realized when to push me." That drive has carried him a long way. The No. 1 pick in the 2009 NHL draft, Tavares has quickly become a go-to player for the Islanders -- leading them in scoring each of his three NHL seasons -- and a major force for Canada in international competitions. Hes piled up an impressive 16 goals in 20 career world championship games and is centring the teams top scoring unit here with Jordan Eberle and Jeff Skinner. Amazingly, at just 21 years old, Tavares is already tied for fifth in goals all-time at this event by a Canadian. Next up on the career list with 18 goals is Steve Yzerman, who will almost certainly be keeping a close eye on Tavares leading up to his selection of Team Canada for the 2014 Olympics. Kevin Lowe -- a member of Yzermans management team for the Sochi Games and Canadas general manager here -- has been awfully impressed with what hes seen so far.dddddddddddd "Its amazing how much different he looks now than he did two years ago," said Lowe. "He looks like a man now." Time has passed quickly for the Tavares family. Barb vividly remembers John being selected first overall in the Ontario Hockey League draft by Oshawa at the tender age of 14 and thinking that a four-year junior career would drag on a long time. In September, her son will be starting his fourth NHL season. Back in the OHL days, she was a constant at games -- often making trips around the province each weekend with daughters Laura and Barbara in tow. "It just kind of worked with the family," said Barb. "It was basically throw the girls in the car, I had a cooler packed and off we went. We all enjoyed it." With both daughters now attending university, she and Joe spend a fair amount of time on the road watching the Islanders play. John thinks his mother has learned to internalize her "intensity" while watching games, but he knows theres always a fire burning inside. "She wants to see us succeed and see me succeed because she knows how much I love the game and how hard I work at it," he said. His Islanders teammates have taken note of Barb and Joes commitment to watching them play. Its something they even needle Tavares about in the dressing room. "Shes watching every game," he said. "Its funny, her and my dad come so often on the road now that I dont even go out to eat with them every time. The guys back home on the Island always give me a bit of a hard time about how they should be running the booster club. "Theyve put in a lot of time and effort with me. I think theyre really proud and just trying to enjoy it all." The pride is evident -- just as it as among the other seven mothers who made the trip to Helsinki to watch their sons play at the world championship. Barb broke into a wide smile when asked how it feels to see John wear the Maple Leaf. "Its like a dream come true," she said. "I mean thats the ultimate -- to represent your country, theres nothing above that." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys Mamadou Tounkara Jersey ' ' '
