The ride is worth the fall

[NHL @NHL]

On what seemed like a regular visit to the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center, Marcus Foligno was surprised with the King Clancy Memorial Trophy! 🏆

Nick Foligno, who won the trophy in 2017, was also on hand for the big reveal! #NHLAwards

18 years went by in a flash! Words can’t express how proud we are of you and the person you have grown into. The perseverance, dedication and leadership you have demonstrated in your hockey career will serve you well in the future.
Thank you @livygrab for taking us along!

Proud Dad moment today. In CT watching @livygrab & @Merrimack_WIH against UConn while @hannahgrab_ and @SNC_WHockey were playing MSOE in WI. Watched Liv score in person and two minutes later got to see Hannah score in her game on the live feed. Thanks for the moment girls!

*This isn't a great sample size and draft numbers fluctuate a lot, but still these numbers are telling.

The two youth development models between Minnesota and Michigan could not be more different. I think it might be time for a reimagining of the Michigan hockey model.
