Family members surprised Ketchum, a senior from Averill Park, N.Y., with a visit from her brother, Trevor, a Petty Officer Second Class in the U.S. Navy. The siblings had not seen each other in 14 months. The team hosted a Military Appreciation game several weeks ago and Teagan was devastated that her brother was unable to attend the game.
The family arranged a flight home for Trevor to be present for the Pioneers NEHC Tournament Game on Saturday versus St. Anselm. Following the national anthem, Trevor dropped the puck at a ceremonial faceoff, with Teagan taking the faceoff for the Pioneers.
St. Anselm's went on to a 5-1 win in the semifinal game. Sacred Heart concluded its season with a tie against Franklin Pierce in Sunday's consolation round, and the Pioneers finished the season 18-9-2.
