It is so exciting to have women's hockey here in Minnesota! I'm a grandmother with two hockey playing grandsons from Red Wing. We saw Taylor Heise win the game in a shoot out on March 5th! We cheered as loud as we could for our home town girl!! Red Wing children were invited to ride the Zamboni, play a quick game during the second intermission and fist bump the players in the tunnel on their way out! All of it was a thrill for the boys and for me as I watched those happy faces and fantastic hockey! Since it was home town night for Taylor, we actually got to meet her after the game! Another thrill for all the kids, parents and grandparents present. She was a delight! She signed sticks, jerseys, pucks and t shirts and posed with families for a million pictures! I was so impressed with her sincere smile and interaction with everyone. She is professional, warm and friendly. We couldn't have a better star here in Minnesota, a fantastic role model for all young hockey players.
I took the boys to see Minnesota PWHL again by myself on Saturday, March 16th. I got a t-shirt and the boys got bracelets on the way in. Thank you! Again, we saw exciting, fast hockey! The crowd was larger on Saturday which I was happy to see. Lots of families having fun. The atmosphere was festive and fans young and old were cheering and having a great time.
The tickets are affordable for families which is really great. Concessions are expensive but that is common. Just to see great hockey is a treat in itself.
I wish the Minnesota PWHL all the best. We have had a fantastic time twice!
