Five years ago today, our daughter Morgan’s story was shared with the world. On October 29, 2020, ESPN published an article written by Emily Kaplan about Morgan and her courageous journey through mental health challenges as a teenage hockey player after being removed from her hockey team after talking to her coach about struggling with her mental health.

At just 15, Morgan chose to speak out—not just for herself, but for every young person struggling in silence. Her bravery sparked conversations, inspired change, and helped get the Illinois Supreme Court to rule, for the first time under Illinois law, that sports teams cannot discriminate against players struggling with mental health.  What began as a painful chapter became a powerful movement for awareness, compassion, and resilience.

To this day, Morgan continues to be a voice for those who feel unheard. From running the #TEAMMORGAN student mental health arm of our foundation to the podcasts she has appeared on to being a mental health advocate. We couldn’t be prouder of the strength, empathy, and leadership she’s shown—and the lives she’s touched along the way.

Thank you to everyone who has been there for Morgan. Especially, to Eric Kussin from @SameHere_Global , Emily Kaplan from ESPN and @RobSchremp . You all are such an important part of our family, and we are forever grateful you all came into Morgan’s life.

Remember that mental health affects everybody. Like Morgan has said “Mental health is so important to athletes and youth everywhere…Players need support from their coaches during tough times. They should not be singled out and sent away.”

Thank you Coach Z and Tetra North America for your donation of a Tetra Tackling System.

[Nick Urso @nicku_39]

Huge shoutout to the incredible group of guys who showed up for our #TEAMMORGAN workout Monday night! The heat was no match for their determination—they attacked every drill with purpose and pushed through with unstoppable energy. Proud of this crew!  

Special shoutout to our youth #TEAMMORGAN team—JP, Greyson, Mason, and Tomasino—for keeping up with the older boys and running the drills like seasoned pros. Excited to see you dominate on the field this fall!  

Also, a big thank you to Coach Z of Tetra North America for donating the Tetra Tackling System to our Foundation. The boys loved how smooth and effective it was for getting in more reps. We can't wait to use it this season to sharpen our skills and become better, safer tacklers.  

Through it all, we are reminded why #TEAMMORGAN exists—to champion mental health, inspired by Morgan’s resilience and advocacy. She was there watching and supporting the boys, a true reminder of the strength that comes from community and perseverance. Her impact drives us to keep pushing forward, supporting one another, and growing stronger together.  

Keep up the hard work, and stay tuned to our social media for next week’s #TEAMMORGAN training days and times! #hardworkpaysoff #noexcuses #mentalhealth #championsmindset #tetratacklingsystem
