The Minnesota Wild Dream


“Being 10 ft. from the glass and hearing the horn sound when the Wild score a goal,” is just one of her favorite things about a Minnesota Wild hockey game, said Rebecca Fore.

“I loved going to games, and watching them on t.v. with my family,” Fore said. Fore, 21, said she grew up watching hockey with her family.

Being born and raised in Minnesota, Fore states, she’ll always support the Minnesota Wild. “Look at the fan base here in Minnesota, we’re known as the team of 18,000 because of the continuous sell-out seats at every home game. If you’ve ever had an opportunity to attend a Wild game you would understand the enthusiasm and passion the fans here in Minnesota have for the game,” explained Fore.

“The crowd always goes nuts and it’s so loud you couldn’t hear the person next to you even if you wanted to,” Fore noted.

Fore said she has been to a countless number of games, and will actually be attending one within the next couple weeks. Fore commented that she even went and saw a game during the pre-season in North Dakota. “The drive wasn't the best, but we still won the game and made it well worth it,” Fore added.

In the future, Fore hopes to work for the Minnesota Wild. She says that becoming a sports broadcaster or working with public relations would both be great careers for herself. “I would get to promote my favorite sport and be able to reach out more to youth hockey,” Fore explained. For now, she is working towards that dream by attending Anoka Ramsey Community College.

  3. I like the story. Reading about Wild fans is always interesting since they are so NUTS! I would have focused a little more on her intentions for her career. Other than that, very good.
