MafiaMan Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I posted this earlier in "Community" and with Jim's permission, have moved this to the Men's Hockey section in the hopes of making this happen... I've often joked with my Gopher friends on weekends at the Bloomington Ice Gardens that it would be amusing if one of the mite teams was sponsored by something affiliated with the Fighting Sioux. Well, here's my chance - I received an e-mail today from our association asking for sponsors. This one caught my eye, especially due to the sponsor name on the back of a mite team set of hockey jerseys. I'd be more than happy to kick in a chunk of money myself to see "SIOUXSPORTS.COM" written on the back of a team set of jerseys right smack dab in the heart of the land of maroon and gold and thought I'd throw it out there to people on this message board. If you're interested in participating in such a venture, PM me and I'll add up what we might be able to contribute and if it's anywhere near $500, we'll go from there. Go Sioux! Team Sponsor - $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Lots of kids would quit. I'm just doing my part to make Ryan Stoa throw up the next time he visits BIG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm in for $50. If you make Stoa hurl, I'll bump it to $75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpiehl Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Lots of kids would quit. Don't count on it. I'm in the north metro, and you'd be surprised at all the kids on opposing teams from Elk River, Blaine, Centennial, Anoka, and St. Cloud that are wearing some sort of Sioux gear when they show up at the rink.

fightingsioux4life Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yeah, the Sioux certainly have trouble getting top tier MN kids to commit to UND. That's right, because if they commit to North Dakota, that means the Gophers "didn't really want him anyway". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 None of the good ones.. Given the Goofs past few years, it's obvious the 'good ones' certainly aren't wearing piss yellow and puke brown ....

MafiaMan Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 OK, I have until November 15th to round up some funds...I'm a bit hesitant to put my home address here, so if you're interested in contributing, send me a PM and I'll reply back with my address. Judging by the handful of responses I've seen so far, I'm in the neighborhood of $100-$150, so I'm hoping for some more interest. Thanks everyone!

FSSD Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Count me in for $20.00 maybe more if you get close... having a SiouxSports team calling BIG home would be fun... come on Sioux Alumni in the south metro.. support these kids.. I wonder if Sensors might help out a bit. I pulled this from the community page... I got $40.00 for ya.. come on South Metro Alumni - support a Twin Cities hockey team.
