MafiaMan Posted December 6, 2009 Author 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

MafiaMan Posted December 6, 2009 Author 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. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 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
MafiaMan Posted December 6, 2009 Author Posted December 6, 2009 Where are those pics MM?! Right now, I just have a pic of MafiaMan Jr's jersey on my cell phone. PM me with your cell number or e-mail address and I can forward it to you. Quote

KirkEisenbeis Posted January 12, 2010 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

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.

jimdahl Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 And here are some photos from the game vs. Jefferson (the source of one of the above photos): Bloomington Jefferson vs. Bloomington Kennedy Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 10, 2010 Author 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. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I love little guy hockey!!! Too bad my 'little guys' aren't....... Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 The Kennedy Gold Mites play this weekend at 1:45 pm Saturday on BIG #2 and 11:30 am Sunday on BIG #3. Both games are against teams from Prior Lake. The Mite Jamboree is March 6th and 7th. The Kennedy Gold game-times will be 3:30 pm Saturday, March 6th and 8:00 am (ugh!) Sunday, March 7th. If you are interested in seeing the SiouxSports.com team in action, drop me a PM or place a post here and I'll help you out with directions and/or anything else you need. Thank you for your support!

MafiaMan Posted March 24, 2010 Author 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. Quote
KirkEisenbeis Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Please tell me that isn't maroon trim on the Kennedy Gold jerseys. Quote
YaneA Posted March 25, 2010 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
iraqredbull Posted April 8, 2010 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. Kennedy Mites Sponsors Quote

I will be happy to donate again next year. Just have MafiaMan remind me. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 9, 2010 Author 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. Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Thanks for the picture, MafiaMan! I enjoyed getting it. Oh, and I like the quote on the paper that you wrote the note on! Quote
ScottM Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Thanks for the pic, Mafia Man. Went up on the fridge yesterday. Quote
Siouxmama Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Have my pic too. Thanks. Thats a good looking group of young men. Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 22, 2010 Author 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
