Look Who Is Coming Home!

January 24th, 2012... Prince is Back! Wow, the boys of summer in the D look like they added a major piece of the puzzle with Prince Fielder. The Tigers had a great line-up already, but to add a bat like that has to make opposing pitchers hesitant to thrown anything good around the plate. It has to be pretty cool for him to return to where his dad played and where he grew up. I'm excited for some baseball at Comerica Park this summer!

Well, the Super Bowl teams have been determined with a rematch of the New England Patriots and New York Giants. It has been a crazy and exciting playoffs so far and I've got to go with Tom Brady, Zoltan Mesko, and the New England Patriots. Those two are great former Michigan wolverines and I know they will do us proud. I can't forget Mario Manningham and David Baas either, also former Wolverines on the Giants, and wish them the best of luck. I know they will have a great game too, but I have to go with Brady and the boys on this one.

Finally I want to say best of luck to Jonathan Quick at the All-Star game. It is well deserved and I know he will represent the Kings with pride.

A LITTLE HELP FROM ABOVE!

January 10th, 2012... Tebowing? You're On! So I'm a huge fan of Tim Tebow and while watching the Broncos playoff game against the Steelers with some buddies that flew in from Michigan, they dared me to Tebow the next time I scored. I took the dare and who knew the next night I'd get my chance. I figured I'd better pay up or I would never hear the end of it, but I never expected all the talk from doing it! Ha, it's great, but even better is the fact that we finally got some offense for our goalies. They have been spectacular for us, so it was nice to give them a little cushion. Check out the video below of the goal, which ended up being the game-winner. Hallelujah!

Speaking of praying to a higher power, I want to give a shout out to Jack Jablonski, the 16-year-old Minnesota High School hockey player who was paralyzed after a check last week. We all BEL13VE you can pull through this tough time and are praying for you buddy!

You can follow Jack's progress on his facebook page. You can also read about his story here. Keep him in your thoughts please.

POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME!

January 4th, 2012... How Sweet It Is! Congratulations to Brady Hoke and the Michigan football team for an exciting 23-20 overtime victory against the Virginia Tech Hokies. It was a crazy game with a lot of strong defensive efforts from Mike Martin and the boys to hold them to field goals. Wow, I don't even know how to describe it, I'm speechless, but so happy. It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.



Congratulations also to my Michigan Wolverines for bringing home another GLI title after beating Michigan State 3-2 in overtime. It has been a little bit of a rough season, but hopefully this can turn things around and they'll continue to climb the charts in the second half. Happy New Year Everyone! Here is to a great 2012!

Defenseman Kevin Clare scored in overtime to secure the 15th GLI title in program history!
