MafiaMan Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Mites jerseys were handed out to the kids today at BIG. Apparently a Gopher fan contacted someone affiliated with the University of Minnesota and asked about a Gopher-sponsored team to counter the Intermediate Gold SiouxSports.com team. Maybe gopherz, sagard, or some of the other regulars of GopherPuckLive.com should do something about that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 That's funny. Does the Gopher fan think SiouxSports.com is UND? This was second-hand information relayed to me, but the person apparently thought that SiouxSports.com is affiliated with UND itself.

That makes sense, I guess. Otherwise, why go to the U instead of just sponsoring a team yourself (Gopher fan group). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkEisenbeis Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 That is sweeet, y'all! I can't stop grinning. Please post a photo soon. And maybe some action shots. If I were in the area, I'd offer to show up for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were in the area, I'd offer to show up for a game. Neither is a perfect shot, but these give you some idea of the general look... simple sponsor name below the numbers on the white jerseys.

MafiaMan Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Sorry for the lack of updates...life has been hectic lately. This past Saturday, the Kennedy Gold team lost to Eastview Black 8-4, however, when the score was 1-0, MafiaMan Jr. potted his first goal of the season to tie the score. Things fell apart after that, however, and the team was down 8-2 with 2:00 left before scoring 2 goals late to make the score respectable. My son had a gigantic smile on his face and raised his left hand in the air when he scored. Dad taught him well...to act like you've scored before, even if you haven't. Despite the loss, he was all smiles on the way home. I'll keep everyone posted on the mite jamboree and PROMISE to get some pics soon.

MafiaMan Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Update: I set up a Shutterfly account Sunday night and have plenty of photos of the SiouxSports.com team on there. If you PM me with your e-mail address, I'll be happy to send you an invitation to view the photos taken throughout the season. I also e-mailed a certain moderator-who-shall-remain-nameless-to-protect-his-identity an invitation. He may post a few pics on the site here if he has a chance.

YaneA Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks for the pictures, MM. Nothing is sweeter than little kids playing a game they love. I'm proud to have been part of this sponsorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iraqredbull Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 As a parent and coach of the Bloomington Kennedy Mite program, I would like to personally thank each and every person who donated money toward our team. We finished a stellar season with only one or two losses. Coming from a family of UND alums, it was great to see SiouxSports.com in the heart of Gopher territory. How much in the heart of Goopher territory was SiouxSports.com thanks to your generosity? These Goophers played their youth hockey at Bloomington Ice Gardens: Ryan Stoa (Kennedy), Mike Crowley, Nick Checco, Ben Clymer, Brian LaFleur, Dan Trebil, Ryan Trebil, Tony Bianchi (Jefferson). There were others, granted, but these were probably the most well known. Again THANK YOU to everyone who donated toward our team.

MafiaMan Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Please tell me that isn't maroon trim on the Kennedy Gold jerseys. Kennedy's colors are gold, navy blue, and white. The mite jerseys have traditionally been either white, gold, or navy blue. I lobbied for a change in tradition and the first "Kennedy green" team, but that was shot down pretty quickly.

MafiaMan Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Mite hockey for 2010-11 is starting up. I've been asked by several board members if SiouxSports.com will again be sponsoring a team this year. Hmnnnnn...anyone interested in SiouxSports.com Part II? Kennedy Hockey Page Check out the "Sponsors" link at the top of the page. SiouxSports.com is listed first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
