The Minnesota Hockey Reebok High Performance Program
Thank you Fox Sports North and Minnesota Wild
It’s hard to believe that the first Hockey Day Minnesota was in 2007, just four years ago. The wonderful event seems to be as much a part of a Minnesota winter as snow, potholes and election recounts. Hockey Day Minnesota, a statewide celebration of the game, began as the cooperative creation of the Minnesota Wild and Fox Sports North. Both organizations came together and, like Hallmark, created a holiday where there once was none. The passionate feelings expressed by hockey families, neighbors, teams, associations and communities this past Saturday has actually always been there. The Wild and FSN just gave us a common day to come together and give thanks that we are the lucky ones who live in Minnesota, the one state that could truly celebrate such a day. Massachusetts has Patriots Day, Minnesota has Hockey Day—it just makes sense.
