$200: the final straw for this Gopher alum & lifelong fan

[Gopherchase]

My wife and I are attending an ugly Christmas sweater party tomorrow night organized by the same set of all the parents we "grew up with" together as our kids all played hockey from K-12. The bond is indeed very tight. We still hang out and our kids haven't played together in 8 or more years.

Small town? Otherwise, the kids who started in kindergarten would/should have little relationship to the kids who played on the varsity team. Maybe half at best would/could have made it that far. Or, it’s a small subset that made it the whole way you keep in touch with I suppose that could be.
