Crowd Rouser

It was heartwarming to see my nephew Matt (from the House of Chaos), the smallest player on the team with the biggest smile, as he roused the crowd at the start of the third period and again at the end of the game, engaging the crowd in a true "celebration of youth hockey". 

Thanks to the NHL Minnesota Wild Youth Hockey Spotlight along with US Bank, tonight's Bantam B game between Proctor and Hermantown is the talk of both towns... 
Such a class act this event was all around. I don't know if I've ever seen so many smiling kids at one time.  The kids thought they were having a regular season hockey game, not knowing that their coaches, parents, town, and the NHL Minnesota Wild Hockey team along with US Bank were in on a giant secret and the surprises seemed endless... 
Truly… the ultimate goal of this event was in the net from the start.
