Grand Rapids – Filip Zadina’s education as a professional hockey player continues.

Most often, those lessons come on the ice. Occasionally, though, they occur off the ice, such as after Friday’s game in Rockford, Illinois.

The Grand Rapids Griffins played there, won, then returned to west Michigan around 5:30 a.m. because of the snowstorm that hit the Midwest.

The lesson: Be ready for anything. This is the American Hockey League. And you’re going to have another game in hours.
