Jim Valvano taught us to enjoy life and to cherish every moment. As we continue this journey, we’re reminded that the Stanley Cup Final is about more than hockey. It’s about people, purpose, sacrifice, and appreciating the moments that bring us together.

LOYALTY.

Justin Gainey on taking over as the NC State head coach, per release: “I’m humbled and honored to be the head coach of the NC State men’s basketball program. This university helped build me as a player and as a person. To now lead it as head coach is truly a full-circle moment. There’s a responsibility that comes with leading your alma mater, and I embrace it fully. “We’re going to honor our tradition, represent this university the right way, and build a program our Wolfpack family can be proud of. This place means everything to me. I wore the jersey with pride, and now I’ll lead this program with that same passion, toughness and commitment to winning that defines the Wolfpack.”

One of our own 🐺 Welcome home, @CoachGainey!
