Just a heads up...my DMs aren’t off the record. If you DM me to say something you wouldn’t publicly, it’s not the best idea.
Everyone gets one free pass, but that’s it, unless you say it’s off the record before you type your thoughts

Excellent work, Jack! Helluva effort! 💪🏻
Shane Greene is now 7-for-7 in the

' first 10 games in save opportunities. Has 6Ks 1 Walk and three baserunners in that time. In other words? Straight filthy.
After he got hurt & was going to bench, He stopped as the puck was kept inside the zone. Without a glove, and his injured hand exposed, He thought of the team, and challenged the play at the point instead.
The coaches literally had to yell to pull him off the ice.
Heal fast!

I wanted to share this display in its halls.
The Mitchel Kiefer Foundation was created by Mitch’s parents to end distracted driving, which took his life. Kiefer won a state title in 2016 w/ CC. The Shamrocks use the Olympic rink for its home games.
Morris' eyes are welling up. It's finally hit him, as he looked to the LF wall and saw his name and number etched upon the brick. He hung his head and said "wow," then composed himself. He didn't cry, like he said he would, but he came close.

I've watched this team grow all season long. I've been lucky enough to go on two road trips with them, and have seen them in the peaks and valleys of a season. These kids battle, and continue to do their job the right way. No matter what.
Couldn't be more proud of this group. 💪🏻

I agree. I just am (kind of) shocked he said that as a defense. It’s like insulting someone after saying “But I said with all due respect”

This kid gets it. This is what playing HS Hockey is all about. Jake was fun to cover, even better to talk to when we did. He's got a bright future ahead of him.

Teams across the state have been doing belts to the MVPs and hard hats to the hardest working player recently.
The Chargers players collectively decided to give the belt to their coach after the game.

Really incredible what Logan Sowa has done. Had a cracked vertebrae in the fall. Fought like hell to get cleared all year.
Really neat he got the GWG tonight. All he's wanted to do is get back on the ice, and he's taken advantage of it. Just really, really cool.
I know Dave on a semi personal level thanks in part to covering HS hockey over the past 10 yrs.
The last minute of this video is a true human moment & really the core of the ask.
People were told if you do x,y,z in the fall you’d get your opp. in the winter.
They want the opp.
Also really cool that

both won a state title this year. Last time Hartland (D2) lost to Brighton (D1) was in the KLAA Championship, 1-0, in 2015.
Since the loss...The Eagles have won six straight against the Bulldogs. Incredible.
Starting year eight as a MI HS Hockey reporter. Been in this business (journalism) since 2007.
Can’t wait to see how teams changed since last year.
The best season is upon us, guys. Let’s do this.

students. Need to sell a drive book to an alumni member? First person to find me at the hockey game tonight and ask, gets a guaranteed sale.
Sad day as we mourn the loss of 2022 grad Jack Swamba. One of the toughest and hardest working individuals we have ever had the pleasure of calling a Shamrock. Rest easy Jack.

After learning this is the second time in a week that two teams put a Covid-Positive player on the ice, I’m floored.
You had players & teams beg to play. Went to the capitol to beg to play. You were paused for 3 months.
Does that mean nothing? Respect your peers & the game.
Awesome gesture by both

Cole Parkhurst hit the GWG from the near side in OT to beat Forest Hills.
Forever grateful for the opportunity.
Good night, old friend. Good night Michigan HS Hockey. Our paths will cross again before you know it.
Thank you all for being apart of it. Whether you read my work, listened to SRD Prep, or followed on here.
It was a fun year.

Wish him nothing but the best in his college choice. Loved his game.
I cannot tell you how big of a smile it brings to my face when I see a HS hockey team's pose with its regional titles. They keep popping up on my timeline, and I love it.
Get after it, young guns.
Cannot wait to dive into this book by Greg Harden. Man is as genuine as they come.
Added it to the “self help” book’s section I’m building in the library:

One of the best games I’ve been apart of. No joke.
1.) Crossland is a beast. Absolutely a beast. Helluva player
2.) Salem found scoring from kids that stepped up in a huge, huge way.
Just a fun one to be apart of.
