KIDS: Here is a clip of Luke Glendening scoring a goal in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

And here is his path to the NHL:

-Played 4 years of Michigan high school hockey
-Played a PG year of prep school out east
-Went undrafted
-Went to the University of Michigan as a walk-on
-Became a 3-year captain in college
-Started his pro career in the ECHL
-Now he's a veteran of over 850 games in the NHL

Everyone has a different path. Most will have to take the long way, but if you have grit, perseverance, and an unrivaled work ethic you'll put yourself in a much better position to reach your dreams.

If you don’t have things figured out right now, focus on the things you can control and get to work. Glendening is known for his work ethic and he's willed his way to an incredible career.

What a great person to look to for any kid with a dream.

The South Carolina pipeline continues. Congrats @RobConcannon and the Stingrays organization! World class group

[Scott Eisberg @SEisbergWCIV]

Wow. Is this awesome or what. At the introductory press conference of Ryan Warsofsky as the 36 year-old head coach of the San Jose Sharks, the tears come. The emotions overwhelm when he speaks to @RobConcannon and the time he spent with Spencer Carbery and the @SCStingrays

[Mike Rupp @Rupper17]

These are the scenes you miss when you are done playing! Emotion w/Patches, Humbleness w Kuemps, and Sacrifice and blood w Wilson… I wanna run through a gd wall rn #ALLCAPS

“It’s almost like [Chinese company Bytedance] recognize[s] that technology’s influencing kids’ development, and they make their domestic version a spinach TikTok, while they ship the opium version to the rest of the world,” says Tristan Harris. https://t.co/Jro1FTGjKB

Today marks the 80th Anniversary of the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec 7th, 1941, a day that will live on in infamy. We will never forget the 2,403 service members and civilians who died that day, and our United States of America Greatest Generation who rose in response.

People in the US don't recognize how much more mobility the US offers compared to any other country.

Earlier this season, Kerry Coombs lost play-calling duties at Ohio State. He called it the "hardest stretch of my professional career." Today, he gave a sermon on dealing with adversity, which should be seen by every college athlete.

@Buccigross MCC?? Awesome track
