Nine years and seven championships later, weβve achieved what many thought impossible in college hockey. We fought hard until the very end.
To all the supporters of AIC hockey, we are incredibly grateful.
To my amazing wife and family, what a journey it has been. I wouldnβt have traded it for anything in the world. To our dedicated alumni, your belief in our program has been unwavering, supporting us from day one to that final puck drop.
To my incredible assistant coaches, your commitment helped to build this success. I am forever indebted to you; no one has ever accomplished so much with so little.
To my players, I love each and every one of you. I look forward to celebrating weddings, becoming a dad, and lifeβs journey alongside you.
Coach Wright, I hope we made you proud of the program.
To my alma mater, thank you for the opportunity and your faith in me. I will always be a Yellowjacket.

@Buccigross@AIC_Hockey Bucci you have to admit this is awesome. Coach Lang at AIC Hockey son was an honorary stick boy Friday night. He jumps into handshake line for goal celebration and also pleads with his dad to challenge a play! This is priceless πβ£οΈ
