EBUG, Thomas Hodges told me he lost eyesight when he was young so he never thought the NHL would be possible for him… today that dream came true… I love stories like these 🤍🤍
Blown away by the humility of Saquon Barkley. 2 TD’s... one of those was a record-setting 92 yarder... and on limited reps. Told me he was more than pleased with his decision to play for his team in the
#FiestaBowl
and was honored to be a part of it. This guy is unreal.

Your perspective on life is so humbling,
@theTylerTrent
. Thank you for spending some time with me today, the messages you carry will change the world and have already changed mine 🙏🏼 proud to call you my friend 😊
My heart is broken for the Trent family. The world lost a beautiful soul and an incredible person today, and one who impacted my perspective on life forever in a matter of a few moments, with his powerful words of wisdom. Rest In Peace, sweet angel.
It is SO awesome to watch PNC arena rocking tonight in Raleigh for the

One of my favorite moments after the
@bigten
championship game last night...
@PCampbell21
hopped on a chair to give his mom a big, warm hug after the win ☺️
“Every day I try to rejoice, give thanks and pray because I know this is the plan god wants for me, whether it’s the plan I like or not.” What a blessing to learn so much about life from
@theTylerTrent
as he battles cancer. Thank you for sharing your powerful words with us, Tyler
Rumor has it the jerks are up 2-0 in the 2nd round of the playoffs.... so I had to come see if for myself. Ready or not, HERE I COME, RALEIGH!!! Annual trip to NC came a little later and bit more spontaneous than usual but I’m so thrilled to catch the

Had a wonderful experience debuting my tennis play-by-play last night on
@TennisChannel
! Thanks to the tennis community for being so kind and welcoming. I hope I made my high school tennis coach (Dave Sukup) proud. He’s the person I credit for sparking my passion for the sport🤍
Moments after

coach Steve Rohlik presented the
@bigten
trophy to his team in the locker room in Ann Arbor tonight... it’s their first Big Ten title in program history! And here’s a celly to show for it...
Spring Break with the whole fam at my parents’ new retirement home in Florida ☺️ we didn’t grow up w/ a lavish lifestyle by any stretch of the imagination. Blue collar family w/ 4 little mouths to feed (Lots of Happy meals!) My parents have worked so hard and I’m so proud of them
1st NHL playoff experience as a fan w/o any work obligations...the true joy I felt just being in the moment cheering alongside all the
@nhlcanes
fans in a PACKED pnc arena is inexplicable. Thank you so incredibly much to my friend
@mbobalik

Just like that, the
@NHLCanes
are in the ECF! Unreal. I guess that means, I’LL BE BACK!!!! If anyone has a private jet transport from Raleigh to Chicago let me know 😂😂😂
As I parted ways with this adorable elderly woman I met on the elevator, she left me with, “enjoy your life... it goes by fast.” Simple words I’ve heard before, but there’s something about this brief, yet powerfully genuine, interaction that will stick with me for a while.
So excited to share that I’ll be on the

Week one ready! Taking advantage before the weather freezes and I turn into a popsicle with not enough layers to be worn 😂 join us today for BTN tailgate 10-12ET on Big Ten Network!
Apparently I have a lot of friends who play beer league hockey (to no one’s surprise there) & apparently some of them were supposed to be playing with or against Scott Foster last night at
@johnnysicehouse
... I guess he was busy making his
@NHLBlackhawks
debut or something 😂
Taking full advantage of this summer weather... we had ourselves a beautiful day! Thoroughly enjoyed reading and relaxing along Lake Michigan and the city skyline with my little dude... can’t beat it
Off to East Lansing with my fearless leader 😂 10 weeks old and couldn’t be a more well-behaved companion 13 total hours on the road this weekend, he’s the best!
I wrote a blog post “Release The Shackles of Negative Self-talk” hoping to soften the stigma. I’m so imperfectly human, it’s not even funny, well I tried to make it funny... hopefully you appreciate my humor through this mental health journey of mine …
Imagine losing your father at 8 years old, bc he was helping someone fix a tire on the side of the road. Cesar Ruiz carries a burden heavier than most & honors his father’s amazing spirit through his zest for life & grateful attitude. We’ll talk about it on

tmrrw!
In honor of pumpkin season... I’m here to match the pumpkin theme and be EXTRA extra with a pumpkin spice latte in hand with my pumpkin spice hair and pumpkin spice attitude. Are you annoyed by this tweet yet bc I am 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Last home game w/ this amazing crew, always an honor and a privilege to work w/ these faces and all the wonderful support behind the camera. This job is still a dream come true for me and I so appreciate
@NBCSChicago
and

Such a cool career moment, thankful to my bosses at

@NHLCanes
fans realize how awesome this broadcast crew is, miss these two! First class 🎤 📺
Had to decide between letting my puppy out to go potty or staying glued to my TV for this wild game 7 between the caps and canes.... I chose the latter. I now have puppy pee in my apartment, but I’m satisfied with my decision
#StanleyCupPlayoffs
If there was a guardrail on this road, the Sadler & Foltz families would still have their beloved sons & I would still have my best friend. Local government of Merton, WI is refusing. THIS IS NOT OKAY. Please share. Thank u

Public service announcement: I do not control the puck tracker. Nor do I have any connection to that decision to implement it. Plz stop yelling at me 😂🤣😂🤣😂 so much anger about the tracker 😂 idk how to help you, and I’m sorry you’re upset. And have a great day
Pretty excited the Wards are coming to Chicago! My first NHL TV gig was with the
@NHLCanes
- Cam and his wife Cody are awesome people who always made me feel welcome in a new city. Now I get to see them again in Chicago ☺️ full circle moments
Week 3 outfit was presented by... Barbie. If you live in Chicago, I bought my outfits this wknd (& many of them) from a boutique in Old Town- Handle With Care. I love supporting female owned small businesses... they work so hard, and they have the best pieces, check them out! 🥰
I would like to recognize our awesome rink side
@NBCSChicago
camera man, Dave Chella, who was honored on the ice before the game tonight for serving our country. He’s a treat to work with every home game and one of the best people you’ll meet!
This was me in college. Just a passionate fan of hockey, supporting my goofball friends on the team, hoping one day I could cover sports for a living. Many of those guys were my first supporters, encouraging me to go for it. Another reason tonight’s game holds significance 😌

💚thank you for guiding me to find clearer purpose in my life & redefining my career mission, to make as positive of an impact as I can while I’m here... bc in the end, nothing else matters. You taught me that.
Mike Sadler lost his life, way too early, two years ago today.
The former @MSU_Football punter was talented, smart and full of personality.
