Calls are growing for Casey Wasserman, the head of the Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, to resign over racy emails exchanged with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.

Wasserman was quick to respond over the weekend after news broke that his name was included in the most recent drop of documents in the Epstein files. The trove of documents included flirtatious emails from 2003 between Wasserman and Maxwell.

Wasserman apologized for his connection to Epstein and Maxwell.

L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn and other elected leaders are calling for Wasserman to step down.

"Having him represent us on the world stage distracts focus from our athletes and the enormous effort needed to prepare for 2028," Hahn said in a statement.

L.A. City Council members Hugo Soto-Martinez and Imelda Padilla, along with state Sen. Lena Gonzalez, are also calling for Wasserman to resign.

Among the exchanges included Wasserman telling Maxwell "I think of you all the time. So, what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?"

There is also an email exchange about massages and one in which Maxwell asks whether it will be foggy enough during an upcoming visit "so that you can float naked down the beach and no one can see you unless they are close up?"

Wasserman responds, "or something like that."

In a statement released Saturday, Wasserman said "I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell," which he said occurred "long before her horrific crimes came to light."

"I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them," he said.

Wasserman, who is currently in Milan for the Winter Olympics, has been chairman of the LA28 Olympic committee for years now.

A Santa Clarita girls hockey team chose to play through their pain after they were involved in a deadly crash in Colorado, and now they're bringing home a trophy.

The Santa Clarita Lady Flyers won the Western Girls Hockey Championship over the weekend, just days after a snowplow lost control, crashing into one of their team vans in Colorado on Thursday.

The father of one of the players, identified as Manny Lorenzana, was killed. He was the driver behind the wheel of the team van.

Several others were taken to the hospital, including one girl who was critically injured. She is expected to be OK. The team says one mother of a player is still in the hospital in Colorado.

A father was killed and several members of a Santa Clarita girls hockey team were injured when a snowplow hit their van in Colorado.

The Santa Clarita Lady Flyers returned to their home rink on Monday night to be celebrated as champions. A memorial outside of the rink celebrates their big accomplishment, but also recognizes the pain of several families who were involved in the deadly crash.

The girls decided they were going to continue on with the tournament and play for their peers who were involved in the crash. They went on to win six games and walked away as Western Girls Hockey Champions.

The team captain said it was about a two and a half hour conversation between the teammates, ages 10 to 13 years old, about whether or not they wanted to proceed.

"We all got around in a circle and we all kind of just talked about if we should play or not, and our decision was that we should play, not for ourselves, but for Manny, who was the father, and for our girls," said Sophia Boyle, the team captain.

The head coach said it was a very special moment when the player whose dad passed away returned to the team.

"We had a short bench, and on the fourth game, the young girl whose father who passed away actually showed up on the bench, game four, scored about 40 seconds into the game. As the girls were cheering, she was walking onto my bench with a helmet on. And all the girls hopped over, were giving her hugs because that was the first time we saw her. And I think that just gave all the girls that inspiration to continue on," said head coach Todd Stelnick.

An online fundraiser to help the victims has been created. A GoFundMe was also set up to cover funeral expenses for Lorenzana and support his family. Collectively, the two fundraisers have raised over $120,000.
