2. The third ever Jersey retirement by the Griffins will happen this weekend, and it's for one of the greats.
Jeff Hoggan's number 10 will be hung in the rafters at Van Andel Arena after an incredible career.
The Griffins' longest captain spent four years here, winning Calder Cup with the team in 2013.
Hoggan says he was emotional when he got the call and will be happy to be back in Grand Rapids.
Hogan is also the only AHL player since 2005 to lead his team to at least one playoff series win in four straight seasons.
His jersey goes up at the arena on Saturday.

4. Today is National Virtual Vacation Day.
There are so many ways to make this work and give yourself a break without leaving the house. Do a Google search for somewhere you've always wanted to go. Dream big, you aren't buying a ticket, so the sky is the limit.
Sift through pictures, immerse yourself in the scenery, check out local attractions. Some might even have websites to make you feel like you're there. This could also be a fun lesson for kids, part geography, part history.
The best part? It doesn't cost a thing, and you don't even need a passport!
