Life is weird. The very day that a documentary short about my family's @detroitredwings.bsky.social fandom dropped, my father, who taught me hockey, passed at 84.
In it is a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.

One of the coolest parts of my job with Fort Wayne FC? Getting to work every day with two of my former Indiana Tech students. Lucca and Kane are rockstars. Proud to share the ride.

I literally called my brother and said, “Hey, do you want me to hold the phone up to Lord Stanley’s Cup and you can whisper sweet nothings into its bowl?” Shockingly he declined. Were the roles reversed I absolutely would have done it.

We're going to be enjoying this video for awhile.
"Beas Freeze" indeed.
More to come, but we've learned we've raised the second highest amount of money (over $8,300) among Fort Wayne teams in the Polar Plunge to support Special Olympics Indiana.
Applause all around.
