Daily Emerald, Hockey, University of Oregon

Sports reporters Justin Wise and Joseph Hoyt had me on their podcast Overtime to discuss my recent feature story “Into Battle: The Bruises and Bonds of Brotherhood.” Since the piece has started to gain traction within the sports  and larger journalism community, we sat down to talk about the writing process, how the story came to be, and what I learned about myself as someone trying to reconcile the norms of hockey culture inculcated into me at a young age with caring about the players with whom I had worked for years.

Below is a the original episode description as well as a way to listen to it.

Six minutes and ten seconds into the first period of the Oregon Ducks’ third home game of the season, junior Michael Luke entered the penalty box quieter than usual. He sat down, leaned forward and drew his arm across his chest, cradling his right side.

Danny Cockriel ends final year of Ducks hockey after four years as starting goaltender

Engulfed in a snowsuit and padded with his helmet and gloves, a three-year-old, purple-cheeked Danny Cockriel waddled onto ice for the first time at his local rink in Englewood, Colorado. Cockriel was a member of the Learn to Skate program and he, like the other members, fell. A lot.

Every time he hit the ice, he’d look up at his mom and she’d run to the glass shouting, “Danny! Danny! Do you want to sit out?” Every time, his response was to shake his head ‘no.’ Every time, he’d continue on.
