The Blizzard Community


There really is no better time of the year than Thanksgiving (and no, we aren't just saying that because it happens during hockey season). It's that one day where family and friends gather together and eat.. A LOT!! More important than the turkey, glazed ham, mashed potatoes and yes, even the pumpkin pie, is the action of giving thanks. This year, what we are most thankful for is the Blizzard Community!

What makes the Blizzard Community so great is that it is made up of each and every one of you! Whether you are a Blizz Fan, sponsor, volunteer, local organization or have simply said hello to us in passing, we are always amazed by your continued support. And it's because of this support that we can continue to scream "GO BLIZZARD!!!!" during each and every game that we play. 


As a team, we understand the importance of community and always do our best to give back year round. From helping build a house for the Brookings Area Habitat for Humanity to working with students from Camelot Intermediate School host a food drive, the Blizzard players & coaches are always willing to lend a hand.

Team captain Nick DeCenzo does a pretty good job of summing it up: “It’s a great feeling when you can give back to the community and help those in need of it. It may not feel like a big deal to us, but to them it could mean the world".

This season, be sure to give thanks to those important in your life. We'll end by saying thank you again to the entire Blizzard Community. We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Now go eat!!
