hrkac Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxmama Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Awesome! This really shows that the players and coaches do think alot of the fan support, and are more than happy to do something like this for a kid. As a Mom of young kids, I know that what JPL did for this young boy, will NEVER be forgotten. He will talk about it to his friends and family for a very long time.

AJ hrkac would also like to point out that for every person you forward this message to, siouxsports.com will use their beta-tracking system to record how many people receive it and donate 5 cents per forward to this 8 year old's college scholarship fund. How cool is that? Seriously, though, great story, and another in a long list of reasons why I love the Sioux. Still 75:25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiSioux Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Awwww! I love it! I can think of very few other sports teams in which an athlete would go out of his way like that just to make a kid's day. What a class act For sure moves him up my list of favorite players, although I'm sure all Sioux players would do something like this....

siouxforeverbaby Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 AWWWWW! I love it! This is one of the reasons why I love Fighting Sioux sports and our athletes. They may tell media that they have some of the best fans, but that is only because we have players like Phil who make it incredibly easy to cheer for them. SCREW the Hobey committee. PHil is Hobey Baker in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsiouxnami Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 This is par for the course for Fighting Sioux hockey and it is why I will ALWAYS be proud to be a Fighting Sioux fan!!!! Way to go, JPL!! Nice to see that some athletes still understand how to be a role model! You are truly a class act! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
