Ethan was admitted to Craig hospital in September. Dawg Nation has many ties to Craig. Many inspiring stories have started at Craig and grown into stories of resilience, community, love, and perseverance. We connected first with the Glynn’s next door neighbors as they were helping the family through this impossible time. Nate and Chrissy Grochow are the friends everyone should aspire to have in their life. We here at DAWG thank them for introducing us to the family, and celebrate their commitment to their friends, the Glynn’s.
The DAWG Father finally got to meet Ethan at the end of November. He brought with him another recent recipient, Les Borsheim of the Colorado Eagles to share his perspective as a quadriplegic himself. Like all things DAWG, another amazing opportunity shoed itself that day when we learned that another future recipient was being checked in to Craig that same day. Ashton Stephenson is a 19 year old hockey player who plays for the Hyland Hills Jaguars, and was recently paralyzed in a car accident. Ashton and Ethan made quick buddies and the coincidences began to show themselves in ridiculous fashion. Cappy and Ethan both wear #8, Les, Ethan and Ashton are all right wingers, and both Ethan and Ashton play for Jaguars.
It was made clear that day that these young men were not going through this fight alone.

Expenses continue to pile up when you look at the Ethan’s future. Their home will need to be remodeled, transportation will be a challenge, and Ethan will require continuing care for the rest of his life. DAWG Nation is committed to hosting this fundraising campaign to help the Glynn family with this ongoing challenge.
But that’s not all, DAWG Nation will be hosting a Charity Pond hockey event in February, where net proceeds will all go toward Ethan’s recovery. Dawg Nation’s: Pondy on Prior will be held in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Not far from Ethan’s home town or the new home of DAWG Nation’s own Jan Hejda. Jan has been instrumental in organizing this event with the help of his friends Geno Parrish and Dave Fromm. Having a former NHLer like Jan and a pond hockey legend like Geno Parrish, we hope to build an event that brings the community together in such a way that it will serve the Minnesota Hockey Community for years into the future.
In our short relationship with Ethan and his family, some amazing memories have already been created. From the insane coincidences of the first meeting at Craig, to conversing with the ever-entertaining Michel Goulet, to hanging in the office of Mr. Joe Sakic, to being slipped the signed stick of Cale Makar. This journey is off to a pretty amazing start, lets keep it rolling and show how bright the future can be.
