“I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care.” — Lou Holtz

Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz, legendary college football coach, Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of America’s most influential motivational voices, has passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by family. Born January 6, 1937, in Follansbee, West Virginia, Holtz rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected figures in college athletics. Over a remarkable five‑decade career, he led college programs at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina.  He transformed every team he inherited and captured the 1988 National Championship with the Fighting Irish. Holtz was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life grounded in faith, devotion, and service.   Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership. He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized. The Holtz Family

@WHLHitmen Congrats Walker & family

Rookie lap for Walker Filewich! 🤩

Glenn Hall’s passing leaves a hole in my heart. We had lots of talks about goaltending pressure and he always said “nobody forces you to play goal…you wanted to do it.” In my mind he is the greatest goalie ever.

Team Canada WJC Zone Entry Detail: Canada played Sweden in pre-tournament last night and showed some significant intentional habits. They played with intention to ATTACK the dot line on zone entry then find the inside danger play. Attack off heals with speed = open middle ice.

“Teaching Hockey Through Concepts, Not Systems” is fire. 👇A natural offshoot of positionless hockey, it’s based on principles of play rather than systems and is a must read for anyone who wants to enhance their approach to coaching hockey.

Passing between two checks on breakout retrievals—“line-breaking” passes—effectively disrupts defensive structure. They create space, open up clean exit lanes, and can generate numerical advantages by drawing in additional defensive pressure @drewcarlsonhp @nasthe3rd

The #1 job of a coach is to build a culture. 1. Establish the culture you want 2. Encourage the culture you want 3. Enforce the culture you want. Culture is Built Each and Every Day.

Great leaders don't have the all the answers. But they do have 3 things: 1. Authenticity 2. Consistency 3. Curiosity They know leadership isn’t about having it all figured out - it's about humility, reliability, and adaptability. It's a mindset built on growth not certainty.

We’ve been working on something new 👀 not just a conference—but a town, where leadership lives large. Check back Monday for our big announcement!

I’m absolutely floored right now. My 5 year old nephew just passed away due to a brain tumour that he was battling. Toto, we like to call him, loved the Oilers with all his heart and his favourite player was Leon Draisaitl. @EdmontonOilers please win the cup for Toto❤️😿

@zemlak_tanya Good on you Austin!

Corey Perry deserves a spot on the Oilers Wall of Fame
