Cool story bro: A friend's dad somehow knew Ian (aka Hummer) through his friend group. A bunch of us came to town for the first hockey game at the big house (the original Big Chill against sparty - back in 2010 apparently based on a quick search). Hummer hosted our tailgate at his house in Ann Arbor. He was a great host and a great guy - I don't remember any of the particulars but good times were had by all. He even took us over to Yost earlier in the day to get a quick look at the facilities and our guys' dressing room - obviously with the warning about not stepping anywhere near the block M in the middle!
Another good memory of a sparty beat down at the Big House.
RIP Hummer
