I always wonder if NHL players pay any attention to the music, because I happen to know some 12U players who have a very difficult time not dancing while they line up for faceoffs...

When we stepped on the ice that day, I thought we’d be lucky to have one season. So incredibly proud of and grateful for all the work @TaylorHadleyPR, @JonMeoli and everyone who’s put on the jersey have done to keep our program growing. I think it’s time for an alumni game 😉

Is there anything more crushing to the self esteem than the first selfie with a new iPhone camera 😂

One thing I didn’t anticipate about working in a school is how many TikToks I’d end up in the background of 😂 #WhatEvenIsTikTok

On many occasions in my life, I’ve thought before a skate that I didn’t want to go to hockey. But I can’t think of a single time I’ve ever thought after that I wished I hadn’t gone.
