The Minnesota Wild kick off the preseason on September 22nd at the Xcel Energy Center against the St. Louis Blues. Pretty crazy that hockey is only 12 days away. None the less, I am excited for another season to get underway. The Minnesota Wild will start the season in Finland against the Carolina Hurricanes on October 7th. With some new faces this year, the Minnesota Wild will be looking to get back into the playoffs after a 2 year hiatus. Go Wild!
Guillaume Latendresse has been nominated for the NHL Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for his outstanding performance this season with the Wild. The Masterton Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the person who best shows the qualities of sportsmanship, determination and commitment to the sport of hockey. Latendresse is the type of player who never gives up, which has catapulted him to new career highs in every offensive category this season even after being traded by the Montreal Cadaniens to the MN Wild. The trophy will be decided by a poll at the end of the regular season. Last year, the Masterton Memorial Trophy went to a Nashville Predator.
