@SchlossmanGF A stray bullet from Schloss..but you are correct. All of Grants teams were at or near the top of the CCHA. A couple of them were in title games. Success looks different everywhere. Being a captain for the U, recruiting in the UP and growing up in GF is all you need on a resume

There are first NHL goals and there are first NHL goals. Dominik Shine (Pinckney, MI) is 32!! Turns 33 in April. Four years at Northern Michigan. 521 AHL games (!) in Grand Rapids. 14th NHL game, 1st NHL goal. So cool. Talk about loving the game.

@danmarto3 Was fun to watch. Can’t believe how fast those two grow up.

Yesterday was a day filled with every emotion a parent could feel. Two championship games with 2 different results. Glad to see a smile on Alaina’s face after a heartbreaking loss in her championship. Super proud of these kids on and off the ice. Maevy led the charge cheering.

How do you possibly have three sons in the NHL with two starring on the gold medal US Olympic Hockey Team?

You’ve pretty much been a badass since birth.

Blackhawks first-round pick and high school QB Mason West leads the Edina Hornets to their first Minnesota state title since 1978 🔥

The true MVP might be the hockey team’s goalie Chase Bjorgaard, who scored 6 TDs in the title game 🤯

The Edina Hornets football team just won their first Minnesota state championship since 1978 with the Chicago Blackhawks’ first-round draft pick playing his senior year at QB, and the hockey team’s goalie scoring 6 TDs in the title game.

Play sports. Have fun. Nothing like it.

Mich Tech has some Jam. I love rivalries

[Jordan Schmaltz @J_Swish24]

The progression of Dominik rain or Shine’s career is truly incredible. And real ones know it was far from perfect for the the Pinckney, MI native. Little Caesars, Compuware. 4 years in Lincoln. Holy fak That in its own right could kill a lesser man. But it goes back to his name. The man’s chin really. Rain or shine. I play all the time. And that’s what he’s done for years on end. Dominik has put himself into legit position to be a full time National leaguer after 8.5 years. To me? He could fill the same exact role as Sam Carrick did coming up thru Anaheim and breaking into the league as a sub 31-32 year old. The thing with these guys that play 6-8 years with the same org, they are company men first. That shouldn’t be discounted one bit. To have the loyalty to stay with the same team despite never reaching your true goal is crazy and good on em. This is a guy that wants to be a WING. Fourth line right wing for his hometown team. No brainer Stevie Y. I’ll hang up now. - People’s

The Berry has jam as well. What a god damn rivalry we have here.

No offense to the MAC but I’ve got the Berry edging them out by a sliver.
