NOAH K. MURRAY / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILESCOLUMBUS — A story about Jack Roslovic, the person, that flows out of Jack Roslovic, the hockey player.
It's January 2017 and Roslovic has just captured a gold medal with his teammates on the United Stated World Junior team. One of the first texts he sends is to a former coach back home in Columbus, Ed Gingher. He has a question.
"I'm going to be in Columbus tomorrow. Are any of the kids on the ice?" Roslovic wanted to know. Gingher, who runs the Columbus Blue Jackets AAA program, couldn't believe it.
