Believe it or not, hockey actually was never a part of Noah's childhood. He grew up in Green Bay, which lives and breaths football thanks to the Packers. His only experience with the game of hockey was the occasional trip to the Resch Center for a Gamblers game (a member of the USHL). Without an NHL team in the state, there wasn't much of an incentive to participate in hockey activities. Instead, he dreamt of playing in the MLB for the Milwaukee Brewers. Rather than picking up a hockey stick and donning a pair of skates, he put on his ball cap and grabbed a bat and a glove to play baseball. This love of playing baseball began to fizzle out as he reached adolescence, which is when he actually began to invest his time in the game of hockey. He didn't watch a game of professional hockey until he was in high school.
