Today at 6pm Eastern on ESPN2. "Game On: Journey To The NCAA Championship"..A beautifully crafted 60 minute show digging deep into the NCAA Tournament. Drama, emotion, #CawlidgeHawkey The Trailer: 👇🏼

Just gutted. @jessi_pierce was truly one of a kind and had the biggest heart. Prayers to her family. Absolutely heart broken.

Thought this was awesome from Tom Izzo today. He was asked his secret to still being so “invigorated” as a coach. “When you get to share a moment with guys that stuck with you and you stuck with them… that’s the joy I get out of coaching.”

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot. "You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in." "That's the American way - except America has gotten soft." You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn. It starts with showing up and earning it every single day. No shortcuts...Just hard work. (🎥@CBBonFOX )

We are heartbroken and join the State of Hockey in mourning the tragic loss of Jessi and her children. May they rest in peace 💔.

One of my favourite memories of working at the Wild will always be Jessi bringing Hudson to the rink & Mikael Granlund becoming besties with him. I was so lucky to call her a close friend. Keep Mike & her family in your thoughts. Rest in peace Jessi, Hudson, Cayden, & Avery. ♥️

There are no words to express how heartbroken we all are. Jessi Pierce (Hinrichs) was the most vibrant person - the life of the party, always with a smile on her face, always bringing a passion to every article and podcast and interview she did. Jessi simply loved covering the Wild and hockey throughout Minnesota and had a way of brightening everyone’s day with her upbeat, bubbly personality. I have literally NEVER met anybody that had a way of being EVERYBODY’s friend. More than anything, she absolutely loved Hudson, Cayden and Avery and was the greatest mother who did everything she could to bring joy to her sweetest kids. Even at Friday’s practice in her beloved Iowa State sweatshirt, she was so excited to take them to the seasonal opening of Cup and Cone in WBL. Seeing those precious pics yesterday, she provided them with another incredibly fun and loving day. My heart breaks for Mike for the loss of his wife and children and Jessi’s family, friends and colleagues for this unimaginable loss. This hockey community lost a wonderful, energetic and one of a kind voice and story teller and Grade A person. Life can be unbearably unfair sometimes, and it’s impossible to make sense of this tragedy. Please keep Jessi and her beautiful kids in your thoughts and prayers. I wish Mike all the peace and support and happiness in the world. A lot of tears were shed at the arena yesterday. We, in the Wild media and inside the Wild, will miss seeing Jessi everyday, laughing with her everyday. The press box and press room won’t be the same without her. It’ll be a lot quieter, a lot less funny. But her passion and joy for covering this hockey team and sport will remain. Sorry for the length of this, but as Jessi knew better than most as my original Athletic “backup” and somebody who always gave me Minnesota Hockey Journal deadline extensions, as she used to joke, I’m incapable of writing tight. Especially about her. RIP Jessi, Hudson, Cayden and Avery. 🙏💔

This was such a cool moment. Incredible amount of perspective and humility from Mooney. No better feeling than making your parents proud. Congrats, @sonshaug, @Hardo27, and @WarroadHShockey Video: 45TV KSTP

Got to watch with my 4 kids! Would love to be in Leni’s brain right here. Helmets, gloves and sticks all over the ice from the OT GWG celebration. Champs and runner-ups shaking hands. What’s she thinking? I’m guessing something like “that’ll be me one day.” You gotta love sports!

Minnesota high school hockey might be the pinnacle of high school sports on the planet

Lots of people talk about Indiana hoops or even Kentucky hoops as having the best state tournaments in high school sports, but the truth is that nothing is even in the same hemisphere as The Tourney in Minnesota. It doesn’t get nearly enough nationwide publicity either.

Everything I saw online about this Tournament was real

The Moorhead Spuds were down 4-1 in the 3rd Period and won the Minnesota State Championship in Double OT Minnesota High School Hockey is SPECIAL

Here's a look at ticket availability for hockey games being held today at NHL arenas in the United States! First, the NHL games and second, the Class AA championship of the Minnesota High School Boys Hockey State Tournament. #TheTourney26
