Our Heroes

 Aidan walked into the Detroit vs Dallas game just as he's walked into every other game this season and last: with a purpose. Aidan walked into that game with the fighting spirit of 16-year-old hockey player, Jacob Burbank, behind him.

Monday night was a truly lights-out game against Seattle with an eventual Detroit win. It was an incredibly special night for so many reasons including hosting our newest hero, Ethan, at the game with his mom, brother, and girlfriend. Ethan was a member of the Michigan marching band when he was diagnosed with brain cancer.

This weekend in Arizona, Aidan played for Kendall, a sweet little cupcake whose smile makes everyone around her smile too. 2-year-old Kendall was diagnosed with a myoepithelial carcinoma in April, 2024.

Jesse is the perfect example of quiet strength. He has done what many people strive to do: look fear square in the face and answer with a smile... and probably with a hug, too.
