Jeremy joined Chris Swendeman and Jim Monaghan this morning on the Two-Minute Drill. https://youtu.be/_QN8jbJC04k In addition to the victory on the ice, the documentary also focuses on New York City police officer Steven McDonald who was shot in the line of duty on July 12, 1986. Paralyzed from the neck down by a gunman's bullets, McDonald became an inspiration for both the team and the city. He and his family - wife Patti Ann and son Conor (now himself a captain in the NYPD) - are an incredible story of faith, family, and resilience that goes far beyond the realm of sports. https://vimeo.com/950588485 MORE EPISODES OF WDHA'S TWO-MINUTE DRILL WITH JIM MONAGHAN AND CHRIS SWENDEMAN
