DETROIT – Erica Blashill can’t pinpoint the time that she met her eventual husband on the campus of Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan.
Though she does remember thinking he was driven enough to reach whatever lofty goals that he set for himself.
“I actually always knew that this would happen,” Erica Blashill said. “I wasn’t sure when or what the path would be or how he would get there. But very rarely does he – if ever – put his mind to something and not actually achieve that goal. So when he said he wanted to be a coach in the NHL I knew that at some point it would happen.
