Le parcours de Dominik Shine vers son premier but en carrière dans la LNH est incroyable :
-Quatre années de hockey junior dans la USHL
– Commence le hockey universitaire dans le nord du Michigan à l’âge de 20 ans.
-N’est pas repêché dans la LNH
-Joue quatre ans au hockey universitaire avant de signer un contrat professionnel
-Grinds depuis 9 ans dans la AHL
-Est nommé capitaine des Griffins de Grand Rapids
-Gagne la première sélection des étoiles de la AHL
-À sa 10e saison professionnelle complète, à 32 ans, marque son premier but dans la LNH avec les Red Wings de Détroit
C’est très inspirant de voir quelqu’un enfin percer après des années d’efforts.
Félicitations à Dominik Shine pour son premier but en carrière dans la LNH !

Very happy for him, a nice one too.
Love that.
Love this for him.
Wildcats GOAL!!!
Perseverance. Big respect
no photo with JVR and Mo??
Im local to GR and have loved watching him at Van Andel with the Griffs, so happy to see him in the big leagues now
you could tell it meant a lot to him by the way he celebrated. It’s good to see him do well, especially with the wings.
Let’s go! Love the energy from the youth on this team.
Shine was a wings fan growing up. Perseverance to a T
Shine on you crazy Dominik!!!!
Insane story. I went to LSSU and basically all those dudes start out at like 20 as freshmen, player 4 years, and then immediately fizzle out in the AHL. If they’re lucky they’ll make it 2.5 seasons before getting cut. Happy for this dude.

That’ll look good framed on the mantle
This is what grit is all about a kid that has worked hard in the minors for years and getting opportunities to be called up and contribute. Shine could have hanged up the skates a few years ago yet keeps contributing at both levels.
As an NMU alum, super happy. He and Coreau are the only two to come out of that school and make something of themselves. Not much of a career but good to see him succeed. Unfortunately other than that, we wildcats have nothing. Our programs are abysmal.
Becoming an NHL player is one of the hardest things a person can do, I don’t think even us long-time fans really understand just how hard it is to get there. Dom got there by never feeling « above » where he is. He plays with grit, passion, and commitment. I don’t care if you net 500 goals, or your first goal was at 18. To score *at all* in the NHL is a rare thing for a hockey player to get the opportunity to do, and you only get the opportunity to do it if you have earned it.
Congrats, Shiner!
Hold up, did the team really put out that promo/social part with his name spelled wrong? D O M I N K S H I N E
The first of many 🤞🤞
