I have lots to be thankful for this holiday season, including calling this fellow number 8 my friend. Ethan “JUST BE GR8” Glynn hasn’t let a life changing injury change him or slow him down. Ethan enjoyed an incredible trip to Tuscaloosa last weekend to watch his beloved Crimson Tide in person. This “once in a lifetime” trip was made possible because of the kindness of many including former B…

In 2018, Van Stone was living the American Dream. Beautiful family, beautiful home, and a great life full of adventure and experiences. But that all changed on December 21, 2018 when Van slipped on a staircase in his home. That seemingly inconsequential misstep nearly took Van’s life and resulted in a traumatic brain injury changing his life’s path and life’s paths of those closest to him. …

Pretty fun night with my main man, Jerry DeVaul, as we were guests on David Carle Coach’s Show. We joined host Sandy Clough chatting about Jerry’s journey to sled hockey and the importance of inclusivity in our sport. Also spent some time with current NCAA leading scorer and Top Dawg Jack Devine along with DU winger Tristan Brosz. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday night!

Every Wednesday morning we gather at the Edge Ice Arena to play a little hockey while lifting those up that need to most. Take a moment to check out this terrific piece from the Denver Post’s Kyle Newman after spending the morning with the Hockey Heals crew. Special thanks to everyone that helps make Wednesday the best day of the week! Check Out the Article HERE

What an emotional roller coaster this last week has been. From lifting up those that needed a little boost, to helping tell the stories of some of our unsung heroes, to saying goodbye to my best friend, to helping create lifetime memories for those that deserve it most, to comforting friends going through the most difficult times of their lives. I look back and wonder how I fit i…

It’s pretty difficult to find a better hockey announcer than the legendary Kenny Albert. Over the last couple of years I’ve had the immense pleasure of getting to know the “voice of hockey”. Kenny was in Colorado last night doing the Avs/Devils game for TNT but still took the time to meet up and present yours truly with a really thoughtful gift. Thank you Kenny!!

A HUGE congrats Paul “Stats” Stastny for tremendous NHL career. 17 years and 1,145 regular season games, pretty darn impressive! But what’s even more impressive is his generosity and support that helped us help others! Paul stepped up countless times with signed jerseys, pucks, sticks and has always been willing to step up for those in need. Perhaps his biggest contributions came after the Humb…

What a day of celebrating life! Surrounded by three gentlemen that have defied the odds it was definitely one for the ages! We began the day with an inspirational “Hockey Heals” skate, then off to Ball Arena to take in the morning skate, from there it was meet/greet with the St Louis Blues, and finally topped things off with suite life for the Avs victory! Along the way we hung with a couple of…

Say we won’t and we will!!! Opening morning bull down!!! We got it done.

Boys night out at the “good ole hockey game”! It’s been way too long since I hung out with the one and only Coop and it was certainly worth the wait! Rinkskde seats, exciting game, lots of visitors and topped off with an official puck off the Magness ice! The Pios didn’t get the win but what a night with my boys!  

Very appreciative of the Pioneers and The Fan for giving me the platform to share some of the inspirational Dawg Nation stories and heart warming triumphs! Come join me for the next one on 11/15 at Campus Lounge!!!  

Being the Dawg Father has some sweet perks but nothing is better than seeing one of my little Dawgs overcome and thrive! TJ Kroha came into this world two years ago and required open heart surgery almost as soon as he was born. His first couple months were pretty rough but TJ is absolutely thriving now and is a perfect little boy! Last night I had the immense pleasure of spending time with th…
