Jack Stockfish had one offer to play college hockey. Now, he has the attention of NHL scouts. His road was paved with the help of his family and motivated by the death of his mother.

Cooper Black was inches away from being done with hockey after high school. Here's the story of his roots from a couple of years ago: collegehockeynews.com/news/2…
HISTORY 👀
6'9" Cooper Black becomes the tallest goalie to ever play in the NHL!
ALT Cutout of Cooper Black in a Panthers uniform overlaid with gold and white text on a red and blue background that reads: "Cooper Black #31; Tallest Goalie in NHL History; Cooper Black becomes the tallest goaltender in NHL history at 6-foot-9, surpassing Ben Bishop. Mikko Koskinen, Ivan Fedotov, and Mads Sogaard, who each stood at 6-foot-7"
The big return for the Bears on Sunday was Caleb Williams. But can't overlook the return of Kyler Gordon in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

Today's Chicago Tribune sports cover featuring the Packers dismantling the Bears at Lambeau. I suggested "Swiss cheese" but was understandably told to go away.
Mike Ditka was and will always be the Chicago Bears. He could carry the City of Broad Shoulders on his back.
A man of many titles, but in Chicago, his first name was Coach.
Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune front page:
Braden Montgomery and Sean Burke play the heroes as the White Sox beat the Guardians in Game 2 of the ALDS. Sox will try to clinch a playoff series at home for the first time since 1906 after going 4-0 on the road in the playoffs.
Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune sports cover:
The Bears won time of possession against the Jets by 25 minutes, 30 seconds on Sunday. A lot of that had to do with Kyle Monangai.

Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune sports cover featuring the White Sox taking Game 1 of the ALDS over the Guardians behind Grant Taylor and the bullpen.
Seven of Taylor's 21 earned runs and all three of his losses this season came at the hands of the Guardians. Today was his day.
White Sox win their first playoff series since 2005 in the same place they won their last. The longest playoff series drought in the American League now belongs to the Angels (2009). Reds are 1995 and Pirates are 1979.

Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune sports cover featuring the Pope offering support to the White Sox, who top the Astros in Game 1. Not a sentence I ever imagined typing.
A big day for the Win-dy City (I'm sorry), as the Cubs and White Sox, two minutes apart, clinch a playoff spot on the same day for the first time. Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune sports cover:
The last three Septembers for the Chicago White Sox have been a countdown to 100 losses. Today, they became the first team in MLB history to go from 100 losses in consecutive seasons to the playoffs.
Thankfully we got rid of reporters so we can have gambling influencers shoved into our eyes to tell us when a player should be allowed to use the cart after an injury. This is the golden age of sports journalism.
On a miserable home opener at Soldier Field, the Bears lose to the Vikings and may lose Caleb Williams. Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune sports cover:
If you're applauding Pablo Torre for the Clippers story, please remember this when you get your information from podcasters who giggle with people in power or personalities who only regurgitate what leagues/agents feed them. If you can, pay for journalism.
Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune sports cover featuring the retirement of Jonathan Toews, who gave Chicago a lifetime of memories.
Today's Chicago Tribune sports cover featuring the Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto losing a perfect game in the eighth on an error and a no-hitter in the ninth against the White Sox.
The Derrick Rose era in Chicago will always come with Stacey King as the soundtrack. He was the narrator for Bulls basketball, using unmatched joy to carry Chicago fans through countless hopeless seasons.
