Greatest Moment: Game 6, 1991 Stanely Cup Finals. I got see Mario Lemieux hoist the Stanely Cup over his head and skate around Met Center with his teammates. It was a great run for the North Stars, but they fell a bit short.
Favorite All-Time State of Hockey Players: Neal Broten, Willie Plett and Derek Boogard
Favorite Moment as Hockey fan: My old softball buddy, Tom Garrity used to work for the North Stars, and he was always able to get us access to the “Star Gazers” club. Years later, at a Wild event to kick-off the 2007 season, I ran into him again, and he hooked us up with access to a great season ticket holder party outside the Ex.
Biggest Personal Achievement, Puck related: Learning the game of hockey watching it live with drunken college buddies from 1983-87. I had no clue what a blue line, face off or puck was when I first attended a game.
Favorite North Star Name: Dino Ciccarelli
Favorite Met Center Song: The Authority Song by John Cougar during pregame warm-ups in 1984.
Best Autograph obtained: None
Favorite All-Time Vendor: Wally the Beerman
Greatest Thrill: Seeing the Wild advance to the Western Conference Finals in 2003, only matched by the North Stars run to the Cup in 1991.
