The game followed a familiar script.
Pierce’s career was marked by her dedication to covering the Wild, but it’s the tragedy that has struck her family that will be remembered.
Her children, Hudson, Cayden, and Avery, were found deceased in the single-family home, which bystanders reported seeing flames coming through the roof early Saturday morning.
Pierce’s husband, Mike Hinrichs, was reportedly out of town on a work trip at the time of the fire.
This one felt recognizable early, as the devastating loss will be felt throughout the sports world.
Original observation: The tragedy of a young family’s loss is a harsh reminder that sports are just a small part of life.
