"Bulldog family forever" is the inscription on the tattoo all the mothers of the UMD men's hockey players had drawn up this season.

Fake tattoos.

But their bond isn't fake. It's unbreakable as this week's guests Patty Samberg, mother of junior defenseman Dylan Samberg, and Tammy Anderson, mother of junior defenseman Matt Anderson, tell us.

The moms, who've been to almost every collegiate game (home and away) their sons have played in, share what it's like to be a member of the Bulldog family, their thoughts on how the season ended, and offer some great advice for parents of athletes.

Hosted over the phone by News Tribune college hockey reporter Matt Wellens and My9 Sports commentator Zach Schneider, and produced by the News Tribune's Samantha Erkkila, new episodes of Bulldog Insider will be released on a more sporadic schedule now that the season has ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can listen to Season 1 and 2 of Bulldog Insider at duluthnewstribune.com, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
