Michigan hockey captain Jacob Truscott brought teammates into a part of game night the scoreboard never showed. Guests from local organizations, including Ele’s Place, could come to Yost Ice Arena. Players met guests after games, took pictures and signed autographs.
Michigan Athletics described the team’s community connections when it announced Truscott’s 2025 Derek Hines Unsung Hero Award. The invitations linked children and families in the Ann Arbor community with people they might otherwise have seen only from the stands.
Michigan Athletics returned to that work in July in A Second Michigan Athletics Honor Recognizes Community Service.
