Children of the Park

In 2001, the last team from the Como Area Hockey Association made a state tourney run for the ages.

25 years later, their accomplishment stands as a glowing testament to a childhood of pucks, parks, and St. Paul.

You were at the Midway Target. There's no way in HELL that 90% of the people who shop at Midway Target are happy to see you. I promise you anybody who lives in the Twin Cities knows that's a lie. 😭

It’s like @PulltabSports read our Peter Odney’s mind.

🚨BREAKING: Trump says he will lower drug costs by 600%.

Those who are not morons will know that is not mathematically impossible.

Caleb Thompson, awarded the Player of the Game Belt with Cayden Parent. The belt originated from Caleb's late father, alumni & coach of the Titans. The Tartan North hockey team would like to thank the boys for dropping the puck & acknowledging Chris Thompson before our game.⚡️🐻‍❄️

[Cole Leitch @CoachLeitch23]

The Tartan North boys hockey would like to thank @isd622, @NorthActivities, @TartanActivity and East Metro youth association. For helping us put on a fun and interactive Halloween Skate tonight. Happy Halloween! ⚡️🐻‍❄️

Free drugs! 🫠

I don’t think folks realize how surreal this is. The fact that the Texas governor refuses to respect another state’s right should alarm Texans. Imagine the outcry from Abbott himself if it was Texas on the receiving end of unwanted National Guard from Illinois?

@NYIslanders Nice work Bryce!!!

If you don’t? You are either dumb or no patriot of this country.
