The letter also reads "I'm lost without my dad, so is my mom, 2 sisters and my brother." To me this is really really sad because not growing up with my dad would have completely changed who I am. I couldn't imagine never seeing my father, it must be really tough. She goes on saying "the wild haven't been wining a lot of games lately, the team needs some D", this is not only true but funny because this young girl is practically telling the Wild's GM that his team is doing bad. This part made me laugh because it was so true.
Also, Jordyn is solely the reason why her father was traded, most fans and people that aren't even fans like to believe she convinced the Wild to get him. "Trading Jordan Leopold was about doing the right thing for a guy who was a great pro for us," the Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen said. "He's done everything we asked him to do the right way". Kekalainen also tweeted "it's not always just about business" with a picture of the letter from Jordyn. In my opinion, this whole story is really heart warming and the Minnesota Wild association is very classy for doing such a thing.
I love this story because it shows a side of hockey that we, as fans normally don't see. Usually GMs would disregard a letter like this and never even think twice about it. Its nice to see that some GMs have some compassion and aren't all business, plus it helped out his team.

ReplyDeleteFun blog about Canada's game. I'm glad so many Canadian teams are in the playoffs this year but I'm bummed that most of them are competing against and thus eliminating each other. Can you tell me why that is?
ReplyDelete- Just a few grammar / spelling mistakes. (ex. hopping vs hoping), run- ons, etc.
- Plagiarism warning. No sourcing throughout. One of your posts is higlighted in white (which is a plagiarim warning). Also, you never tell us where you got your info. For ex., how did you find out about the Jordan Leopold story? If you don't source, it's plagiarism.
- I'd like to see more media. Try adding the videos themselves instead of links to the videos.
- Some posts have great opinions, other posts are low on opinion.
Good work. I'm interested in seeing what you'll be writing about as the playoffs continue.
This was a very touching blog post Alec. I agree with you and Jordyn. I could not live without seeing my dad. It's very important to have fatherly love around and I feel bad for Jordyn for not having that a lot. It's very fascinating how Jordan Leopold got traded because of his own daughter. This was such a nice blog post.
