A Wild Summer

It’s been a wild summer for the Minnesota Wild and it’s only July. FOX Sports North has been with the team throughout the busy summer covering breaking news, the NHL draft and community initiatives.

FOX Sports North televised two live press conferences during the month of June. The first announced new Minnesota Wild GM, Chuck Fletcher and the second introduced newly appointed Wild head coach, Todd Richards.
Qwest Twins Live included complete coverage of the NHL draft from Montreal, reporting exciting news of the Wild’s first round pick Nick Leddy from Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Leddy has been featured in numerous FOX Sports North High School Hockey Night broadcasts over the past few years.
The Wild also joined FOX Sports North in Hermantown, Minnesota at a press conference announcing Hockey Day Minnesota 2010 before embarking on a three day trip across the “State of Hockey” for the 2009 Minnesota Wild Road Tour. The road tour came to an end in St. Paul where thousands of hockey fans attended the Wild Summer Bash celebration in Rice Park.
