Michigan Hockey forward Philippe Lapointe recently spoke with Maize n Brew about his time in Ann Arbor, Frozen Four trips, his teammates and much more.
Let’s take a look at his playing days and celebrate an unsung hero.
The Family Connection
Lapointe’s father, Martin, was an NHL player for 16 years for the Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks and Ottawa Senators. Martin helped the Red Wings win back-to-back Stanley Cups in 1997-98, and his time in Detroit paved the way for his sons’ futures in Michigan.
