PrintWhat? You didn't know? This is Hockey Weekend in America! Celebrate with those you love!
Each of the three days of Hockey Weekend Across America has a theme, including:
Friday (Jan. 29) – Wear Your Favorite Hockey Jersey, sponsored by ShopUSAHockey.com
Saturday (Jan. 30) – Bring a Friend to the Rink, sponsored by the NHL
Sunday (Jan. 31) – Celebrate Local Hockey Heroes, sponsored by the Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports program
For the past two months, USA Hockey and Reebok have conducted a "Why Hockey Rocks" video contest as part of Hockey Weekend Across America. Fans were asked to submit one-minute videos explaining why hockey is the best sport in the world. Following a voting process that began on Jan. 1, a total of 16 winners received a voucher for $300 worth of Reebok Hockey gear and had their videos entered into a tournament-style competition for the chance to win up to $2,500 in Reebok Hockey merchandise. The final round of voting is currently taking place at HockeyWeekendAcrossAmerica.com, and the winner will be announced Sunday (Jan. 31).
USA Hockey is also conducting a best Hockey Weekend Across America programming contest for its local associations across the country, with the grand-prize winner receiving a voucher for $5,000 of Reebok Hockey gear. Additionally, five runners-up will receive $1,000 of Reebok Hockey goods. The entry form can be obtained at HockeyWeekendAcrossAmerica.com.
So, let's see them! Post your favorite sweater!

Oh
And there’s a local shop by me who does the lettering for the Wild and most of the area high school teams.

Lucky you. I need to find that place near me that does so I can get someone on mine. If I send it off to a place I don’t think I’ll have it for the olympics.

I don't know if it's a favorite, but it's a fun picture.
That’s me on the right. My dad (on the left) is wearing a Bruins jersey that says “Old Man” on the front that I got him for his 50th birthday.

Shapeshifter!
Grab your torches and pitchforks!
RonGarde: Target Field is going to be exactly like Progressive Field, except you'll have a chance to die of frostbite in the middle of July
So the next time either of these guys are terrible beyond belief, we can blame you for wanting to take a shot at playing in the NHL. Meanwhile, poor Koivu or Backstrom will be bound helplessly in the basement of the Buddah residence.
I’m on to you!
:-P
Let's Go Wild!
