Let’s Play Hockey
The odds of making it into the pros today are well over one in a million. No gambling man from Las Vegas would ever take those odds, except Jason Zucker. He was raised in Las Vegas, where he was one of the few kids playing hockey there. Zucker played for the local youth team where Rob Pallin, a native of Chisholm, Minn., coached him.
Pallin has a long history of hockey. He played for his hometown high school before leaving to go and play in the North American Hockey League. He was one of the first people to forgo their years in high school in order to play juniors.
From there, Pallin went on to play at Minnesota Duluth for two years with Brett Hull and finished up his last two years at Western Michigan. He continued on and played in Europe for eight years before settling down in Las Vegas. Pallin started running the Fiesta Ice Arena where he met Zucker.

The Manitoba Maple Leafs had another good showing for the weekend but the Minnesota Whitecaps continued to come back strong to finish on top. Friday night’s game in Chisago Lakes was all Manitoba until the third period when the Whitecaps sealed the deal late in the third with the winning goal ending the game 4-3.

The Minnesota Whitecaps hosted the Manitoba Maple Leafs over the weekend of Jan. 27, beginning with the first game of the three-game series at the East Bethel Ice Arena. The St. Francis community came out to support the Whitecaps with an enthusiastic crowd.
Before the game, some of the Whitecaps players held an hour long clinic for the St. Francis female youth hockey teams. The crowd was entertained by both national anthems as they were sung by St. Francis high school choir standout Sabrina Fivegel.
