And this morning I got to see my son score a goal for the first time.

For former New York firefighter Rob Serra, hockey gave him back his sense of normalcy after the attacks on 9/11.

We sat down with Rob in 2020 to talk about his experience that day and what hockey means to him.

@DonLagreca Rays have always done it. @alanhahn

This memory might have been lost forever had my algorithm not just put sled hockey and Brendan Fraser in my feed. Figured I’d put it here for my kids to find.

[Rob Serra @SerraRob]

In the early 2000s a few guys from the @FDNYhockeyteam and I played in a celebrity sled hockey tournament @ChelseaPiersNYC. At one point Brendan Fraser and I fake dropped the gloves and wrestled each other out of our sleds. The entire time he yelled at me in a pirate voice. 🏴‍☠️🏒

@YESNetwork We pay a premium to direct tv to get your network. I understand you’re trying to convince people to get your app but maybe you should consider that we already paid to watch this game. I didnt pay to watch the game on a split screen with two guys in recliners. Turning it off

[Rob Serra @SerraRob]

And why are you splitting the screen? At least let us watch the game on a full screen. SMH

[Rob Serra @SerraRob]

Dear @YESNetwork no offense to these guys but this ain’t it. It’s bad enough that we already need 5 different apps to watch @yankees games. Now you won’t let those who already pay a premium for direct TV watch a proper broadcast? When is it enough?

[Rob Serra @SerraRob]

At a hockey tournament with my son and more than 50% of the parents are carrying their kids bags. Absolutely ridiculous. #youthhockey

[Rob Serra @SerraRob]

Hear A 9/11 joke or two. It’s low hanging fruit. And might be funny if people weren’t still dying. Might.

[Rob Serra @SerraRob]

Yes three sports teams losing is definitely the same as my family watching my FIL die on live tv with 3k other people. And losing the the 3k + that have died since to 9/11 related illnesses, like Suhail.

[Desus MF Nice💯 @desusnice]

mets knicks and yankees lose. tonight is our umm that day in september that something kinda significant happened

[Rob Serra @SerraRob]

The only reason I’m bothering to post this is I literally just said to a congressional staffer that the reason 9/11 first responders and survivors are still fighting for healthcare is because 9/11 has become a meme. These jokes are lazy. And if u watch a stand up special you’ll/

Friends - See you Monday DC! We are far from done. We won this week, and no celebrating. Now back to legislation. You either support H.R.1410 & S.739 ($3 billion for the WTCHP) or you don't. Either way we will get this done. We don't lose! #DCIsMyPlayGround #YouWorkForUs

[FDNY HOCKEY TEAM @FDNYhockeyteam]

Get your bids in. Proceeds to benefit the @RayPfeiferFDTN which helps 9/11 first responders with medical costs not covered by insurance.

You gotta set the tone. #BravestHockey @UBSArena

[Rob Serra @SerraRob]

The @NHL_On_TNT forcing me to watch this game just so I can hear Sam and JD one last time. I guess it’s gonna have to last a life time… #NYR
