This is it! I'm graduating from college today! 🎓💛🖤 #Classof2026 @CalStateLA

Wonderful news! Grateful for the effort by @Denise_Ilitch to make this happen. Shout out, too, to the Team USA women who stunned the world by upsetting mighty Canada for the first Olympic gold medal in '98. On their shoulders all girls and women playing the game now stand.

What a beautiful day for women’s hockey in the state of Michigan! Let’s goooooo @pwhl__detroit!!

I've been lucky to have some incredible teachers, but my 6th grade teacher, Mr. Bamrick, stands out above the rest. He taught me two things that shaped my life: ✏️ How to speak with confidence ✏️ How to believe in myself We stayed in touch over the years through visits and video chats. He passed away in the fall of 2023, and I'm thinking of him today. Grateful for him, and for all the teachers who empower their students. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

We completed a feasibility study in October of 2024 to bring NCAA D1 women's hockey to @UMich, which would be the first program in the State of Michigan since 2011 (Wayne State). The momentum is growing & we have a committed group pushing to make this happen. @Denise_Ilitch

According to a feasibility study, the addition of #WomensHockey at the University of Michigan could lead to a new arena, either for the men's team or both programs. My latest for @chnews #NCAA (More info in a thread below) collegehockeynews.com/news/2025/01/3…

Way to go Simmsy! Kirsten Simms joined the 150 career point club last Saturday thanks to her assist on the #Badgers' final goal of the game

If @deniseilitch and her family don't bring a PWHL franchise to Detroit, to Hockeytown, I'll be shocked. And when they do, I'll be grateful. The women play a great game.
