Defenseman Steven Kampfer has watched his career come full circle with his return to his home state of Michigan.
An education that started in the small town of Naantali, Finland, brought Eemil Viro to Grand Rapids, where the young defenseman hopes to learn all that he needs to know to graduate to the Detroit Red Wings.
Now in his fifth season as the assistant equipment manager for the Griffins, Charlie Kaser loves his work.
