Crookston Pirate Boys Hockey players and their Mite 3 little brothers had their meet and greet earlier this week. The event included pizza, getting to know one another along with each writing a letter to the Minnesota Wild. The mites will start taking turns being a special player at the home games ending in a scrimmage with their pirate players cheering them on. The Pirate players have been coming to the mite practices to help out when they are able to attend. “Wow, does the youth get excited to see them! It’s a great tradition we are excited to start up again,” said a Mite 3 parent. “Coach Hardy and his team have been absolutely wonderful with getting this going, they are excited with all the ideas, and are looking forward to this tradition to live on!”
The group wanted to thank the City staff (especially Curt Anderson) for having everything ready for them and checking in on us when there was a busy night on the ice.
