No Name Original Kid - Win a party with the Wild at the Xcel Energy Center

Good morning all. As we try to bring you commentary on the Minnesota Wild and the NHL in general, we also want to ensure that we spread the good word of youth hockey. Without youth hockey players, and the parents who tirelessly drudge across the frozen tundra for 5:00 am ice time, there would be no NHL, and we wouldn't have this fantastic outlet.

Now, we know how much you hockey parents love to talk about your kids. Seriously. So, in that vein, here's a great way to brag about your kid and win really cool stuff!

No Name® is searching for the Original Kid of the Year…Could one of the kids in your school be the one?
 
Please spread the word for a chance to win $3,000 for one of the schools in your district!  Entries will be collected in essay form, 100 words or less, and will be judged based on school performance, community service and involvement in extracurricular activities.
