Zander MHA hockey

 We have always done MHA/TPH Hockey with Hunter and Zander, this year we decided to try MDHL, so Zander tried out and didn’t make it - which has been pretty controversial with who they’re choosing.

So Zander was going to stay up here and play for the 16U team with friends and coached by Scott Harvey and the other guys from his North Stars days.

As we sat down to register him for GTHA, Jason got a text from Rick Gadwa saying he couldn’t believe Zander didn’t make MDHL, and he has a spot for him in the top tier 16U team which plays in tournaments against AAA teams. So Zander is now on the MHA team.

The first weekend the tournament was in Grand Rapids and Zander was busy going back and forth with soccer.

Thursday night- First Varsity Soccer Game- 2 goals, 1 assist. Friday, 2 hockey games - 2 goals. Saturday soccer game at 12:45pm and then back down to GR for a hockey game at 7:30pm.

Zander ‘25 Trojan Varsity Soccer

 It was an exciting first varsity soccer game for Zander as a sophomore —scoring the Trojans’ first goal of the season, then adding another goal and an assist later in the game. So fun watching his fire on the field after all the work he put in this summer.

And he didn’t stop at soccer… right after the game he headed to GR for two hockey games with the MHA/TPH 16U team, where he netted 2 goals on Friday.

Back at it today with another soccer game at home and then down to GR for a final hockey game in the evening.

Proud of his commitment, hard work, and love for the games he plays. ⚽🏒🖤💛

Zanders first high school goal!!

Dec. 26th vs Rockford in the Scott Miller Memorial Tournament

Exciting night - Zander’s 1st high school goal!! Such a pretty goal - we’ve been waiting for this moment and it was a great one!! (listen to Scott Conaway call it on the video) I was lucky enough to be right at the glass taking pictures when he scored- so freaking exciting!!

Zander scored the 2nd goal in a 3-0 Trojan win over Rockford. He also earned the shield for blocking shots- it was a great game!! 

Somebody also turned his goal into State Champs and was featured on all their pages! Here’s their IG link

Way to go, Z!! Always fun to watch you play- keep working hard, good things will continue to happen!!

Zander’s a Trojan!!

So proud of Zander - from being the Trojans Jr. Captain, to wearing Hunter’s jersey, to now being a Trojan himself, as a freshman. Following in his brother’s footsteps. 

I am beyond excited to see Zander on the ice in his first official game as a Trojan 🖤💛.

Saturday, Nov 16th vs Petoskey 1pm @ Howe Arena.

Northern Lights!!!

We FINALLY saw the Northern Lights and they were beyond amazing!!! 

The most spectacular, cool, beautiful experience of my life! 

I was caught between laughs of giddy excitement and then almost in tears because I couldn’t believe this was really happening and we were all experiencing it together. 

The colors were absolutely stunning and every picture brought a new perspective to the constantly changing skies and we could see all the colors with our bare eyes.

Hunter and Zander rode the 4-wheeler back to the tire hill and took some u believable pictures from there. 

Wow, Just Wow!!

A collaboration of all our pics we took, just can’t get enough of the beauty.
