My full live in-studio sports segment from NEWSChannel 2 at 6 on April 15, 2024. It revisits the previous night’s thrilling overtime finish in the gold medal game of 2024 IIHF Women’s World Championship in Utica, N.Y.

November 6, 2014 was the Annual “Men Make Dinner Day,” a day where men, who normally don’t do the cooking in their household have the responsibility of cooking a meal for their family.
For this story, I learned how to make a meal from Chef Luke Barrett, Executive Chef/Owner of The Willows of Utica in order to get first hand experience on what it’s like to work in the kitchen (and it was a lot of fun)!
