DetroitRedWings.com’s Dana Wakiji wrote an article discussing the “family affair” that is the Larkin Hockey School:
For Dylan Larkin, his brother Colin and cousins Adam and Ryan, the Larkin Hockey School is not only a way to give back to the community, it’s a chance for them to spend time together doing something they love.
Dylan, who turns 22 on July 30, is about to enter his fourth season with the Detroit Red Wings.
Colin, 24, signed a contract with the Edmonton Oilers this past March and expects to be with their AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, this coming season.
Adam, a 23-year-old defenseman, just graduated from Yale University and has signed with the Reading Royals, the ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Ryan, 21, the only goaltender of the group, is currently playing at Miami University of Ohio.

“It’s everything to me,” Dylan said. “I think it’s why we do it. It’s special. Just to be around all of our buddies and have this time here together. Working out with them in the morning and taking care of our business, then we come out here and it’s just fun for us to enjoy these kids. They’re funny, there are a lot of personalities. It’s funny how current they are, I guess, with all the dance moves and all the technology and them talking about whatever it may be. It’s fun to be around them.”
