matthew lore: childhood friends & teammates

AKA a vaguely chronological list of current NHL players Matthew knew before he ever played an NHL game

This is already a massive list, so in an effort to keep it as short and organized as possible, I have bolded the names of guys who appear in multiple categories and have only included those who have played at least a full season’s worth of games in the NHL.

For a comprehensive list of his teammates that have ever played an NHL game, this invaluable tool will provide you that information dating back to his first season in the NTDP (2013-2014).

CASEY FITZGERALD gets to go first and uncategorized, because he’s known Matthew longer than anyone else on this list, seems to be the cousin he’s closest to, and is one of the three childhood teammates that became one of Matthew’s NHL teammates. (And roommate!)

THE ST. LOUIS BOYS

LUKE KUNIN is THE guy. Their families are friends (Matthew’s whole fam was at Luke’s wedding, Luke’s whole fam was at Brady’s), and they were teammates for fourteen straight seasons before finally getting separated after their time at the NTDP, which is so long Luke's literally known Matthew longer than Taryn has.

Of the six St. Louis guys drafted in 2016, Luke and Matthew were the only ones born in 1997, so the following have all played with Matthew significantly less than Luke.

CCM Motown Classic 2005

TRENT FREDERIC From what I can find, Trent only played with Matthew during the 2005-2006 St. Louis Rockets season, but he played with Brady and was coached by Keith in the same Junior Blues hockey program, was one of the family friends that got to come around and play mini sticks with David Backes as a kid, and his time at the NTDP overlapped with Matthew’s in the 2014-2015 season (Trent U17, Matthew U18).

2010 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament

CLAYTON KELLER played in the 2010 Quebec International Pee-Wee Tournament with Matthew and likely more but trying to find youth hockey rosters from before 2015 is a herculean task. But he was one of those U17 guys that got to play up with the U18s his first year in the NTDP and played with Matthew for 16 games and then went on to win gold together at the U18 Men's World Championship in 2015.

LOGAN BROWN Other than the 2010 tournament, Logan seems to have played more with Brady than he did with Matthew, and wasn’t in the NTDP like the other guys, but does train with them in the summer.

2011-2012 U15 AAA Junior Blues Team

2013 U16 National Tier One tournament champions

JOSEPH WOLL Unlike the other St. Louis boys, Joseph seems to have played exclusively with Brady, but his time at the NTDP overlapped with Matthew’s the same as Trent’s did. It’s unclear if he trains at the same place as the others during the offseason, but along with the rest of the 2016 St. Louis Draftees, his signed draft day photo is framed in Matthew’s bedroom at his parents' house because of course it is.

THE 1997 JUNIOR BRUINS

This Athletic article is about all the NHL players who played for the 1997 Junior Bruins tournament team over the years, but from what I can find, Matthew only played on the 2010 team with Casey Fitzgerald, NOAH HANIFIN, CHARLIE MCAVOY, COLIN WHITE, and the ever present, Luke Kunin.

Matthew is still close friends with all these guys, but Noah in particular is a Noted Best Friend and with him being from Boston and the Tkachuks having a house in Cape Cod, their summers overlap a lot even when they aren’t teammates.

With Casey, he and Colin White are the only childhood teammates to play with Matthew in the NHL.

THE NTDP BOYS

Okay, this section is where it gets a little chaotic so I split it between the guys who played with Matthew and those he went to school and was familiar with because their time at the NTDP overlapped.

2013-2014 NTDP Teammates Including the gold medal teams for the 2014 U17 World Hockey Challenge & the 2015 U18 World Championship

ZACH WERENSKI

Repeat: Noah Hanifin

2013-2015 NTDP Teammates Including the gold medal teams for the 2014 U17 World Hockey Challenge & the 2015 U18 World Championship

JORDAN GREENWAY

CALEB JONES

CHRISTIAN FISCHER spent his youth hockey years playing against Matthew, and when they both headed off to the NTDP, their parents split billet duties. He is one of Matthew’s best friends, attended Matthew’s draft, and even went with Matthew to Brady’s draft.

JACK ROSLOVIC was linemates with Matthew (and Auston) in the 2014-2015 season and when Matthew went to the 2015 Draft to support all his 1996 boys, Jack was the one he chose to sit with. The next summer, Jack returned the favor (see photo with Christian at Matthew's draft above).

AUSTON MATTHEWS is another family friend. He was Matthew’s center in 2014-2015 and when he broke his leg the previous year, Keith got a bunch of NHL guys to reach out to Auston , and he’s the one who gave us the best story about Matthew texting his own highlights to his friends.

Repeats: Luke Kunin, Casey Fitzgerald, Colin White, Charlie McAvoy

2014-2015 NTDP Teammates Including the 2015 U18 World Championship

Repeat: Clayton Keller: played up 16 games as a U17

Teammates for a handful of games:

TOMMY NOVAK: 2 games for 2013-2014 U17 team

JAKE OETTINGER: 3 games for 2014-2015 U18 Team, and was part of the team but did not PLAY in the 2015 U18 World Championship

MAX JONES: 2 games for 2014-2015 U18 TeamRYAN DONATO played 4 games for 2014-2015 U18 Team and is now part of the extended Tkachuk family due to Emma, Brady’s wife, being his cousin.

ROBERT THOMAS is practically a third Tkachuk brother at this point. But before Robbie lived with the Tkachuks, his own parents opened their home to Matthew while he trained at Gary Roberts’ the summer of his draft. Then when Robbie’s rookie season came along, it was Matthew who then suggested Robbie live with his parents too.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

None of the Hughes brothers played with or overlapped with Matthew in the NTDP, but the two families are friends, and as far as I can tell, first met in 2010 when Quinn played on Brady’s Junior Bruins tournament team.

QUINN HUGHES is Brady’s best friend from billeting with him and Keith while in the NTDP and is on this list because Jack called Brady and Matthew QUINN’S BOYS, their families are friends and met at the latest, in 2010 when Quinn played on Brady's Junior Bruins tournament team. On top of that, Quinn he once included Matthew in his answer about watching Chris Tanev play after he got traded to the Flames for no reason at all other than to say he likes to watch him play too.

And last, but certainly not least, is CONNOR MCDAVID.

Matthew spent multiple summers, including the summer before his rookie season, training with Connor at Gary Roberts’ and the two of them are what I like to call STAR CROSSED TEAMMATES. Not only does Matthew swear the Oilers almost drafted him—and there’s certainly enough reports and predictions from before his draft to back up that being the plan—but Connor could’ve been a 1997 Junior Bruin if Brain McDavid wasn’t out to get me.

If you’ve ever wondered why it seems like every other station on your dial is Christian rock, EMF [the Educational Media Foundation] is a big part of your answer. From its headquarters in a Nashville suburb (the organization is slowly relocating from its longtime home of California), EMF plays the generic sounds of contemporary Christian music, or “CCM.” It is a genre that everyone from artists and critics to church leaders have decried as being somewhere between “the absolute worst” and “doctrinally unsound.” But the Educational Media Foundation has quietly become the country’s fastest-growing radio chain and second-largest station owner in the country, bested only by iHeartRadio. With hundreds of cookie-cutter stations branded as “K-LOVE,” as well as its smaller chain of “Air1” stations, EMF broadcasts on more than 1,000 signals across all 50 states and some U.S. territories, reaching an estimated 18 million listeners a week.  On the surface, EMF’s broadcasts are glaringly apolitical. They opt instead for their trite brand of Christian rock, all teed off by the same, small cast of nationally syndicated, Anywhere-USA DJs who smile through everything from squeaky-clean jokes about the drink sizes at Starbucks to prayers asking God to watch over those who have donated to the organization. But behind its politically neutral facade, the organization — and the CCM industry more broadly — appears to be an inherently conservative project. Many right-wing Christian culture bearers have long believed in the “Breitbart Doctrine” — the idea that, to change politics, you must first change culture — and have fought for decades to build a parallel popular culture free of sharp edges, hard questions, or representations of lives that veer from the straight and narrow.

[...] But EMF’s story isn’t just about bad music taking over the airwaves in service of a cultural vision that is overwhelmingly white, straight, and artistically regressive. It’s also the story of the near-demise of local radio — a longtime haven for new music, artistic outcasts, and political dialogue — at the hands of a tax-avoiding not-for-profit organization that appears to operate like a very-much-for-profit media mega-corporation. For decades, EMF has hidden behind a veneer of uncoolness while honing a signature technique: At big commercial stations and small, beloved community-radio stations alike, they’ve offered the owners an undeniable sum of money, wiped out the local presence, and replaced it with unmanned transmitters.

The world of CCM, in turn, “reflects the values of the religious right,” says religious-studies historian and author of God Gave Rock and Roll to You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music Leah Payne, by providing “suburban families with safe Christian listening experiences in the car.” And while EMF stations may not have the “attention-getting, rage-inducing content” of an explicitly political outlet like Fox News, she says, “K-LOVE is the softer side of that conservatism.”  Today, the organization’s nationwide network of radio stations plays mostly white, male artists. Though it professes to broadcast “Christian music,” it largely steers clear of genres like religious rap or gospel, as well as any Christian rock that grapples too heavily with doubt or hardship. Christian artists who have wavered in their faith have quietly been dropped from EMF’s playlists; several queer Christian artists have lost work and airtime on CCM radio after coming out. (Through a representative, EMF declined to be interviewed for this story and did not respond to requests for comment.)

My mama listens to K-LOVE all the fucking time and it is the most generic half-assed mealymouthed bullshit I've ever heard 24-7. Now I know who to blame.

Upcoming Changes in DME Billing for Chronic Disease Management

Chronic disease management significantly benefits from Durable Medical Equipment (DME) as it offers necessary medical devices that patients need to track and uphold their health. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) started making substantial revisions to DME billing procedures for 2025 as healthcare policies continue changing. These billing system updates strive to unite healthcare providers to improve patient care, simplify payment processing, and reward value-based care approaches. The modifications require complete understanding from healthcare providers working with patients who manage chronic diseases.

Key Changes in DME Billing for 2025

1. Elimination of HCPCS Code G0511 for Care Coordination Services

Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) applied HCPCS code G0511 throughout history to submit bills for their Chronic Care Management (CCM) services. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will discontinue its use of code G0511 starting January 1, 2025, as they plan to introduce individual CPT and HCPCS codes for improved billing specificity. The transition brings greater clarity about the services that lead to precise reimbursement payments.

2. Transition to Individual CPT Codes

The removal of G0511 requires healthcare providers to use specific Clinical Procedure Terminology codes for Chronic Care Management documentation and accurate reimbursement processes:

CPT Code 99490 – Non-complex Chronic Care Management services requiring at least 20 minutes of clinical staff time per month.

CPT Code 99439 – Additional time spent on Chronic Care Management beyond the initial 20 minutes.

This change aligns payments with the complexity and duration of care coordination activities, ensuring fair compensation for RHCs and FQHCs.

3. Introduction of Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) Services

Under the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduces Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) services. APCM organizes multiple healthcare management services to support primary care physicians in their mission to provide organized patient-centric care.This initiative integrates elements of:

Principal Care Management (PCM)

Transitional Care Management (TCM)

Chronic Care Management (CCM)

The strategy proves to be beneficial for patient care by assisting primary care doctors in creating improved treatment organizations for patients who have prolonged health concerns. Through APCM, CMS intends to unite different care management systems while eliminating unnecessary office work so providers can provide more attention to patient assessment.

To facilitate the implementation of APCM, CMS has introduced three new HCPCS G-codes:

G0556: For patients with a single chronic condition requiring ongoing management.

G0557: For patients with two or more chronic conditions requiring active care coordination.

G0558: For patients with multiple chronic conditions who are also Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMBs), meaning they are eligible for additional financial assistance.

Through these codes administrators no longer need to use time-based restrictions which decreases administrative workloads. APCM payment systems adjust financial compensation based on patient health requirements to allow for personalized long-term care administration.

4. Impact on RHCs and FQHCs

APCM services present an excellent opportunity for both RHCs and FQHCs to enhance their patient care practices. The centers can engage in APCM services by using the national non-facility PFS payment rates when they submit claims containing suitable APCM codes.

The coding shift delivers dual benefits to healthcare facilities since it both strengthens their financial status and allows better coordination between services and improved patient oversight with better health outcomes. An organized payment system enables RHCs and FQHCs to maximize resources for enhancing their premium healthcare services to underserved communities.

5. Six-Month Transition Period

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provides a six-month transition period from January 1, 2025, up to at least July 1, 2025, to ease the implementation of this change. The six-month planning period requires healthcare practitioners to modify their billing procedures and train their teams while incorporating new CPT and HCPCS codes into their operational workflow.

The transition timeframe serves as the paramount factor in maintaining legal compliance and uninterrupted insurance claim processing. The transitional period provides healthcare entities with a chance to review billing procedures, identify errors, and enhance documentation systems.

6. Enhancements in Telehealth Services

Starting January 1, 2025, CMS proposes allowing real-time, two-way audio-only telehealth services when:

A distant-site physician has access to video technology.

The patient is unable or unwilling to use video conferencing.

Patients in rural locations or areas with limited technology experience now receive better medical care through this system modification.CMS seeks to improve medical care delivery for patients with chronic diseases through their expansion of telehealth services which combines reduced hospital visits and better medical access.

7. Integration of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) with CCM

The 2025 PFS Final Rule emphasizes the integration of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) with Chronic Care Management (CCM) services. Key points include:

Providers can offer RPM alongside CCM.

RPM supports its own CPT billing codes, allowing dual reimbursement.

RPM service and time requirements must be met separately from CCM.

This integration enables providers to bill separately for both services, provided that RPM requirements are met independently. By leveraging wearable devices, smart sensors, and continuous data tracking, healthcare professionals can proactively adjust treatment plans and prevent complications, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced emergency visits.

Emphasis on Value-Based Care

These changes reflect CMS’s commitment to advancing value-based care by:

Implementing APCM services for personalized care.

Expanding telehealth services for improved accessibility.

Integrating RPM with CCM for real-time patient monitoring.

Refining billing codes for streamlined reimbursements.

Value-based care reimbursements are tied to the quality of services provided, incentivizing healthcare providers to invest in better care models, reduce inefficiencies, and prioritize patient well-being. The updated payment method provides healthcare organizations with enhanced capabilities regarding long-term illness management.

Conclusion

The upcoming DME billing changes for chronic disease management in 2025 signify a transformative shift toward more personalized, coordinated, and value-based care. Healthcare providers operating within RHCs and FQHCs need to implement these modifications as they will help maximize reimbursements while delivering better patient care.

The updated knowledge and utilization of these modifications enable healthcare providers to maintain simplified billing operations which results in better care outcomes for chronic disease patients. Healthcare providers should consider using medical and billing services provider company 24/7 Medical Billing Services as their outsourced partner to navigate complex changes and meet billing regulations.

FAQs 

Q1. What is the billing code for chronic disease?

Healthcare practitioners primarily rely on CPT 99490 for Chronic Care Management (CCM) and CPT 99439 for additional time to invoice chronic disease management services.

Q2. What is the DME code range?

Medical Durable Equipment (DME) has its billing codes located between E0100–E9999 in Level II of the HCPCS system to represent multiple types of durable medical equipment.

Q3. How to identify a DME code?

The explicit list of DME codes exists in the HCPCS Level II manual where each code begins with an “E” while following specific equipment types.

Q4. What is the limit of DME?

Medicare typically covers 80% of the approved amount for DME after the deductible, with limitations based on medical necessity, frequency, and lifetime restrictions for certain equipment.

However, the market faces certain challenges. Implementing a CCMS requires significant initial investment and often demands customization to align with specific organizational requirements. Additionally, the need for skilled personnel to manage these systems and the potential complexity of integration with other enterprise systems may slow adoption in some organizations.
