We look forward to building a relationship between our youth hockey program and the Express to continue to grow hockey in the community of Spooner, Wis. We are eager to work together to support the development of all skaters and provide the most positive experience for both the youth and the Junior A hockey team.”

Spooner is a special place to me, and I am excited to share that same experience with the players of the Northwest Express.
