Sioux Hockey Players

The Sioux hockey players participated in a fundraiser for the Northlands Rescue Mission in Grand Forks. The players signed signatures and they also served the dinner. We got the kids out of school early and took them and Declan's friend, Mason up to Grand Forks to meet the players. Unfortunately for the mission, it was under attended, but it was good for us.

It was advertised that the 1st 200 people get a signed puck. Well, since there were less than 50 people there the kids got several signed pucks. Jeff and I gave ours to the kids, too. Here are Declan's pucks.

Here are Isaac's pucks.

Mason, Declan, and Isaac bringing their T-shirts down the line for the signatures. You buy the shirt for $10 and that is what the guys sign.

Isaac and Ryan Duncan. He was the boys' all time favorite player this year. He was a senior so the kids are trying to decide who to choose for a new favorite player next season.

There were 17 hockey players there, so we got group pictures with the rest of the guys. I used a text option on a picture program so we don't forget who they are.

The kids had a blast and wore their new signed shirts to school today. Isaac also had show-and-tell in Kindergarten so he brought pictures of him with the 3 players to show. What a great thing to meet players, but it is a shame they don't advertise more and get more people there. I heard about it from someone who went last year and was scrapbooking with me last weekend. It was fun!
