Shakopee Hockey: The New Blood

Jordan McAlpine began playing hockey as a 6-year-old kid in Omaha, NE and has been hooked by the sport ever since. McAlpine graduated from the University of Nebraska-Omaha in the spring of 2022, where he got his start working in hockey, covering the Mavericks and NCHC for the student newspaper from 2019-2022. McAlpine served as the hockey beat writer and sports editor, along with a number of freelance opportunities -- several of which he still writes for today.McAlpine's resume also includes stops at the Omaha World-Herald, Lincoln Journal Star and, most recently, The Rink Live, where he covered junior and college hockey for two seasons. When McAlpine's not at the rink, he's an avid baseball fan and enjoys spending time outdoors or playing sports. You can follow him on Twitter/X @jordan_mcalpine.
