    We drove to Iowa to see the Wild play and that was one of the best weekends of the winter. Great town. Friendly people. Will visit Des Moines again. 🙂

    Amazing production, cant thank you people enough for the hard work you put it making these Becoming Wild series.

      Honestly they should make another series all about Iowa. Kind of like a Behind the B thing Boston does where they follow the Bruins around accept it would be with Iowa. Could call it “Down on The Farm” because of the farm team thing and the fact Iowa is an agricultural state (although as a student at Nebraska I must say we have better corn)

    You should do one of these with your ECHL affiliate. It would be cool to see the differences between the three leagues.

    I absolutely HATED McLeod when he was with Colorado - especially when he injured Spurgeon running him into the back wall along with his great tilts with Chris Stewmanchu. That was so many years ago, but I still remember those things. I guess that means McLeod was definitely doing his job.
    Seems like a great guy. Couldn’t think of a better a guy to be the Iowa team captain - a 37 yr old guy still fighting and grinding his way in the AHL because he loves the game. He can provide so much advice and wisdom to the young guys on how to be pros. I hope they listen.

    Coach Army is a great teacher and the Wild are lucky to have a coach of his passion and with real life honesty to teach these young men how to win into the future.

    Minor league hockey has really become something special. The ahl and the echl put on a great show and if you have the opportunity to catch a game I highly recommend it.

      @@jimbeam7248 money isn’t everything. The dream is making the NHL and staying there. Yah it’s nice to make money doing what you love, however, it’s all or nothing for most players. Brother in law turned down a deal with the Calgary Hitmen because he would have likely not played.

      they’re already living their pro hockey dream, and they got to the nhl, id say it’s not heartbreaking. not to mention getting called to the show from the ahl is a big step the right direction

    I remembered my last hockey game. I was 17. I loved the game, best game I ever played. It was over and I knew it. Played once in over thirty beer league. But the guys were mostly Canadian ex pats and ex college players. Nah.. it was over. These are the lucky ones.

    If the Wild end up facing the Avalanche in the playoffs this year, Cody McLeod should do the "Let's play hockey" call at the start of a game. Peel off an Avs jersey and have a Wild jersey on underneath. Mess with their heads.

    The AHL is where players learn that it is a long way to the Top if you want to play in the NHL. Players find out that you have to take the proper Mental approach to playing Pro Hockey. It takes hard work, it takes dedication to becoming the Best Pro Hockey player possible. The Minor Leagues will test you. See if you as a player have what it takes.
