I've been told that Middlebury assistant coach Emily McNamara was in a car accident and has life-threatening injuries. Keep her and your family in your heart today, as well. Absolutely awful day

😥💔🏒 @BardownBeautPod

@KirstenKrull @B_Marsh92 Kirsten, my friend, I am struggling to find the right words right now. Just know that you were one of the first people I thought of when I heard the news about Jessi. My heart breaks for you and our hockey community 💔 We lost a good one and heaven gained 4 angels.

Every Monday me and Jessi would sit down to record the Bardown Beauties Podcast. This morning my phone buzzed with a notification that the record is coming up, except today it’s not. Logging onto my computer, sitting at my desk with my microphone where we recorded was another hard thing I haven’t yet done but have to continue to do. I know me and so many others are feeling this, it’s cruel that the world doesn’t stop when terrible things happen even when we desperately beg for it to. The world keeps moving even when we feel like we can’t. All we can do is continue to try to move forward the best we can. My heart hurts for everyone today just doing their best to make it through the day. But for as long as I can, I’ll keep my Monday podcast record notifications on because it reminds me of how much special time I was able to share with Jessi weekly.

Don’t go to sleep without saying I love you. Don’t walk out the door before saying I love you. God bless the Minnesota goodbye & the extra time we take around here to walk out the door after spending time with people we love. Please please please hug the people you love today.

Please consider helping out Mike after this unimaginable loss. gofund.me/656d61ab6

NCAA Division III Women's Hockey Quarterfinals, UW-River Falls Postgame ... youtu.be/gbBp0Rcb8Io?si… via @YouTube

On paper, this game should've been a 4-0 game. Instead it was an intense battle between two great goaltenders. Both UWRF's O'Kane & Williams' Pye were outstanding! @UWRFFalcons advance & host next weekend's @NCAADIII #WHKY Championship. See you next weekend in River Falls!

76° & sunny in River Falls, WI and I chose to be inside a hockey rink today. I love hockey! #FFT #D3HKY

For Johnny. For the brotherhood. For America. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 ABSOLUTE DESTINY! 🇺🇸 The USA Men’s Hockey Team won the Olympic Gold Medal on - the 46th Anniversary of the 1980 Miracle on Ice - George Washington’s 294th Birthday - and during America’s 250th Birthday year

🚨 MASSIVE PATRIOT MOMENT! USA Men's Hockey Olympian Jack Hughes, after WINNING GOLD: "This is all about our country right now. I LOVE the USA!" "We're SO proud to be Americans." He loves America with no regrets. THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🇺🇸

A PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. Team USA honored Johnny Gaudreau by bringing his 2 kids out to the ice and holding his jersey up for a picture after winning the God Medal. Johnny and his brother Matthew were killed by a drunk driver in 2024, which kept him off the ice today. What an incredible tribute that his family will never forget. This is BIGGER THAN HOCKEY.
