A huge shoutout and thank you to the 200 AVB members and players who joined us at the Xcel Energy Center yesterday to watch the Wild vs. Predators game! The excitement was off the charts as the Wild secured a thrilling overtime victory after pulling the goalie. Fun Fact: according to NHL rules, if you pull the goalie in overtime and lose, you also forfeit the 1 point for the tie.
Special kudos to those players who attended the meet-n-greet and had the incredible opportunity to meet Jared Spurgeon and Joel Eriksson Ek. The Wild coordinator praised our group, noting that everyone was very respectful, and our collective presence was deemed "great"! Way to show up, Eagles! Thank you for representing our association with such class and enthusiasm.
