While watching high school hockey on FSN (Maple Grove vs. Blaine) they told the story of this 14 y/o hockey player who was diagnosed with leukemia over the holidays.  He's a huge Sioux fan, and I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, so I thought I'd post it here in case you want to send him an email or something.  His birthday was yesterday.

absolutely awful to hear stories like that.  Hopefully, it is a treatable form and this young man can go on and live a fruitful life.

I am a parent of 5 and would shutter to think if I lost one of my children.

Just like the UND Sioux (Bina), I'm a fighter on and off the ice. Thanks everyone for your support!

Thanks Bob for posting this.  I posted a message on his Caring Bridge site.  Great site by the way.

A friend of mine has been involved in Osseo-Maple Grove youth hockey for years.  Like all associations, they have their issues.  But when the chips are down, it's good to see that hockey people rally together.  Here is some more information on this courageous young man:

Makes you realize how silly and petty we hockey rubes are in the grand scheme of things!

Maybe we should see if we can get a bounch of people to pitch in and set him up with a FTA satellite system so he can watch the Sioux play while he recovers.  We could talk to the fella that does the Sioux systems in MSP that posts here all the time.
I'd chip in??
