He walks through the trade that pulled him out of Sarnia as a 17-year-old, the billet family that became a second home, and the secret foodie TikTok nobody was supposed to find. He also breaks down the overtime poke check that saved the Robertson Cup run, the Flint celebration that got him tossed, and why he’s in no rush to trade 97 games of OHL hockey for a partial NCAA schedule, even with Bowling Green waiting. Bittersweet doesn’t begin to cover it: the guy who anchored the Rangers blue line for three years is off to college, and this one’s a goodbye as much as a victory lap.
