Tonight, we had the privilege of welcoming U.S. Army veteran Dave Shepler to the ice for our ceremonial puck drop as part of Military & First Responders Appreciation Night! Dave served nine years on active duty, completing three overseas tours, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Throughout his service, he supported hundreds of combat missions, trained fellow soldiers, and helped prepare troops for deployment. Thank you, Dave, for your service, sacrifice, and for joining us tonight! ❤️🤍💙 #GoDawgs #CommitToExcellence #W2D
