Board of Governors Emmy Presented to FOX Sports North, Minnesota Wild & Minnesota National Guard

FOX Sports North, the Minnesota Wild and the Minnesota National Guard were awarded the "Board of Governors" Emmy, saluting broadcasters, non-profit organizations and corporations that partner together on programming that supports local communities. The special award was presented to the three organizations for their combined effort during Hockey Day Minnesota. The broadcast showcased the 34th Combat Aviation Brigade, the 834th Aviation Support Battalion and the 148th Fighter Wing as they played hockey during their deployment to Iraq in January 2009. A floor hockey game and special greetings from Iraq were featured throughout the day, informing viewers about the sacrifices of our Soldiers and Airmen.
