25 years ago, a group of men from the Detroit Fire Department traveled to New York to help in any way they could!
Detroit Firefighter (now retired) Chuck Gerardy told me the city did NOT want them to go because they were unsure if anything was going to happen in Detroit.
So the men took vacation time and sick time in order to go but they had no resources.
That’s when Mike Ilitch (Tigers/Red Wings/Little Caesar’s owner) and Walter Wolpin (Great Lakes Distribution) stepped in and wrote a blank check so the firefighters could go get whatever they needed to go. AIS Construction in Richmond Michigan donated supplies too.
The firefighters loaded up 2 big trucks and made their way to NYC.
All of them are HEROES!!! #NeverForget 🇺🇸
KIDS: Dominik Shine's path to his first career NHL goal is incredible:
-Four years of junior hockey in the USHL
-Comes into college hockey at Northern Michigan as a 20 year old
-Doesn't get drafted to the NHL
-Plays four years of college hockey before signing a pro contract
-Plays 8 years in the AHL before getting a call up to the NHL
-Becomes the captain for a first place team in the AHL
-In his 9th full professional season, at 32 years old, scores his first NHL goal.
Very few players see the results of their hard work in the time they want to see it. Resilience is a super-power, and if this isn't inspiration to keep at your dreams even through the low moments, I don't know what is.
Everyone has a different path. Congrats to Dominik Shine on his first career NHL goal!
Built the program, game by game.
Congratulations Head Coach Brennan Martin on reaching this milestone! Thank you for all you have done for our program!
