Washed up beer league goalie having fun still playing. Was a 4 year JV D3 goalie many moons ago. Host of the #TendyTalk podcast of @theblpa and @hockeypodnet.
When your son only asks for two things for his 18th birthday and one of them is a @HarborFreight Icon torque wrench you spend the day looking at all the options leaving you even more confused as to which one to get him.
Listening to episode 630 of @spittinchiclets and this is the vision of @BizNasty2point0 I have in my head with that lisp because of his missing chiclets.
The hockey community is truly amazing and instantly took action to ask how they could help support Jessi’s family. Here is a donation link created by the family to help. Thank you so much to everyone for the amazing tributes and support shown. Jessi and her family was so loved 🤍 https://t.co/af9O2tdejG
There are no words to express how heartbroken we all are.
Jessi Pierce (Hinrichs) was the most vibrant person - the life of the party, always with a smile on her face, always bringing a passion to every article and podcast and interview she did. Jessi simply loved covering the Wild and hockey throughout Minnesota and had a way of brightening everyone’s day with her upbeat, bubbly personality. I have literally NEVER met anybody that had a way of being EVERYBODY’s friend.
More than anything, she absolutely loved Hudson, Cayden and Avery and was the greatest mother who did everything she could to bring joy to her sweetest kids. Even at Friday’s practice in her beloved Iowa State sweatshirt, she was so excited to take them to the seasonal opening of Cup and Cone in WBL. Seeing those precious pics yesterday, she provided them with another incredibly fun and loving day.
My heart breaks for Mike for the loss of his wife and children and Jessi’s family, friends and colleagues for this unimaginable loss. This hockey community lost a wonderful, energetic and one of a kind voice and story teller and Grade A person.
Life can be unbearably unfair sometimes, and it’s impossible to make sense of this tragedy.
Please keep Jessi and her beautiful kids in your thoughts and prayers. I wish Mike all the peace and support and happiness in the world.
A lot of tears were shed at the arena yesterday. We, in the Wild media and inside the Wild, will miss seeing Jessi everyday, laughing with her everyday. The press box and press room won’t be the same without her. It’ll be a lot quieter, a lot less funny. But her passion and joy for covering this hockey team and sport will remain.
Sorry for the length of this, but as Jessi knew better than most as my original Athletic “backup” and somebody who always gave me Minnesota Hockey Journal deadline extensions, as she used to joke, I’m incapable of writing tight.
Especially about her.
RIP Jessi, Hudson, Cayden and Avery. 🙏💔
Hey @tigers what are some tips to get the best game day experience when me and my son come to a game this July on our annual trip to a new ballpark celebrating my late father-in-law?
Just waiting for @tigers single game tickets to go on sale so I can get tickets for me and my boy on July 26 for our annual trip to a new park to celebrate his baseball loving Papa as we turn the sad day into happy memories. Can’t wait to see @ComericaPark.
Hats off to @GDOTATL and @ForsythCoGov for maintaining the roads today. I just dropped my wife off at the airport and roads were in much better shape than this Mon septa transplant and expected.
I know next to nothing about racing, but my son had fallen in love with it and after going to 1 @IMSA race with my son, I’m now having FOMO we’re not in Daytona.
@KevinisInGoal listening to the latest episode and all the talk of FTC. I had a subscription and scanned them all in to digitize them before if you ever want to dig into them.
My son is trying to get me to get tickets to @IMSA@Rolex24Hours next month in Daytona. I want to, but tickets, hotel, meals, and 3, maybe 4 days off work…😬 We had so much fun at @RoadAtlanta’s Petite La Mans here in GA as he taught me about the sport he’s fallen in love with.
@MikeMcKenna56@RoadAtlanta My boy is applying to @GeorgiaTech to study aerospace engineering with the goal to design race cars so I’m learning the wonderful world of racing through his passion. As a father it’s
