In the last decade, a private investment firm has consolidated much of youth hockey, turning what was once a community-based activity into a profit machine for wealthy investors.
I spent nine months investigating Black Bear Sports Group. Here's our story:

Clarity creates trust. Boundaries build culture. Championship standards start where you draw the line. Non-negotiables aren’t limits, they create freedom. Ryan Blanck explains how to be a leader worth following in this #TCSLive presentation. WATCH: https://t.co/uQkyg5AkCc
This afternoon, Athletics Director Holly Schreiner introduced SCSU alum, Nick Oliver as the next head coach for the Men's Hockey team.
We're happy to welcome Nick and his whole family back home to St. Cloud State University!🐾 🏒
I’ve never been a part of a championship team where the best players weren’t the hardest working and most bought in players on the team. If you want to win, your best players have to lead the way with effort and being a great teammate.
Check out Wild superstar Matt Boldy on these clips from yesterday’s game against Detroit.
First, he scores a great goal after getting physical and helping to create the turnover. Next he threads a SWEET pass to Kaprizov for the game winner.
Then – he gets in front of a one-timer on the ice 6on5 in the dying seconds with a one goal lead. Blocks a bomb from MORITZ SEIDER to seal the win.
Minnesota is getting ready to make a run. Having Matt Boldy help lead the way is HUGE.
KIDS (and parents): This is a must-watch clip from Jay Hardwick, head coach of state champion and elite player factory Warroad Minnesota, on what scouts ask him about regarding his players.
“They don’t ask a lot about hockey…”
KIDS: This is Lucas Wahlin's journey to signing an NHL contract with the Winnipeg Jets.

EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT PATH.
From hometown kid to back-to-back champ! @jfammerman returned to Moorhead to build something real. No trend-chasing, just identity, community, and growth. Result: a true development culture, and back-to-back state championships for @Spud_Hockey. WATCH: https://t.co/9qRKQ3e73z
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. 🙏💔
