Check it out. This is an email that was passed on to me yesterday. The mother was kind enough to let me post it for all you Sioux fans on this board. I'm sure you will be reading more about this story in the near future. Enjoy!!!

Just thought I would share this "feel good story" with you...
Many of you know that a few weeks back at our last home game, Adam (husband) caught
JP Lamoureux's stick when he threw it into the crowd at his final home
game as a Sioux player....well, needless to say, Jakob (son) was thrilled when
he saw us walk in that night. The one game he missed that weekend! In
Lamoureux's post-game interview, he stated how he hoped a kid got it, much
like the time Jason Blake finished his career at UND with a toss of his
stick to the crowd and Lamoureux was there. Me, being the teacher that I
am, suggested to Jakob that he write him a letter to let JP know that it
did go to a young kid who plays with it and appreciates such a cool act
that he did....so I let Jakob write all on his own and mail him the
letter. Then on Monday night at about 7:50 there is a knock on our door.
We are all thinking, 'who in the world is that?" Then Adam sees and tells
me...so we get Jakob to get the door--he is not understanding why we are
telling him to answer the door--we NEVER do that! So out on our doorstep
is Lameureux! Jakob was very bashful..they (his girlfriend was with) we
'out for a walk and thought they would stop to visit' He visited for
awhile with Jakob and met the kids...Jayden told him her favorite player
is Duncan, and Lam said that Duncan is about the samae size as Jayden !!!
LOL! It was a cool visit and Lam asked if Jakob wanted him to sign the
stick, so Adam went and took it off our wall in the basement:) and he
wrote a nice message to Jakob. We were taken so off guard that we didn't
even think to take a picture of them together! Darn! But still, it was
pretty cool!
It was such a cool thing for someone to do...and as I am standing there, I
am thinking that is was not even 24 hours since the game in Madison, and
he chooses to come and see an 8 year kid to "put a face to a name"---WOW,
that is about we can say around here...WOW!
Go Sioux!!!!! AJ
