Picked this up at the Hendrickson Foundation silent auction. Ryan Malone filled in for Eric Rasmussen in the celeb game and had to make some “modifications” to his jersey. Safe to say it’s priceless. Thanks Bugsy!

Oh Mama, don’t you cry. USA Hockey is do or die. All that’s left to do—stand for the anthem. First assist to @jasondemers5 with his “you can’t win a marathon without a couple bandaids on your nipples” take down 0-2 in semis. Could have been the difference. 🇺🇸 🥇 @PulltabSports

Once a year, for 12 straight days, my wife is part of an elite special forces unit of winter carnival medallion hunters. This year her crew brought it home. Couldn’t be more proud, all her hard work paid off. Does it get any more Minnesotan than that!
