Coverage of Nicolai’s amazing goal earlier this week has gone viral thanks to the YouTube video posted by his coach. The last time I checked it had over 1,800,000 views.

Four local TV stations picked up on the story and interviewed him before his game against Boston Latin this afternoon. I left work early to provide video and picture files to the various stations and to generally try and manage the media frenzy. Nicolai handled the interviews wonderfully. He was confident but not boastful. He spoke eloquently and from the heart. Jeanine and I could scarcely contain our pride and joy as we switched from channel to channel watching the coverage.
