White Bear Lake

Excited to be back at the rink.

There he is, former White Bear Lake standout Ryan Carter, also a former Gopher.

Not Gopher.

Oh, my goodness.

I was gonna say former Wild player, a former Minnesota State Maverick, not Golden Gopher, but Ryan Carter of course known for his, uh, uh, that illustrious career with White Bear Lake, joining us on the post-game show, and joining us with his post-game comments following a 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks in preseason game number one.

You think overtime hockey in preseason is fun? How about post-game reaction in the preseason? That too will be fun, and it'll continue after this break.

You're listening to Wild Hockey, presented by Grand Casino.

It's closed in a hurry by...

The game caught Steve Burnish, their senior tackle from White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

Looked kind of big from up here, Ray, for

a minute.

The extra point was missed.

Hill this time may not have picked up a thing.

Boy, who made that fine defensive play? I think the last man up there, number 70 for the Gamecocks, Steve Burnish, their senior left tackle from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, mainly responsible for stopping that play for no gain at all.

So Hill gives way to the bigger Jerry Ellis.

Hey, I'm Zach.

I grew up in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, where I played hockey, did play-by-play of my friend's NHL video games, and discovered my love for broadcasting and being a bear in quotes.

Come on.

You can't make it up.

I grew up in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, where I played hockey, did play-by-play of my friend's NHL video games, and discovered my love for broadcasting and being a bear in quotes.

You know what? Zach.

You know, I appreciate the debate here going on in the air today.

You know, bipartisan issues aside, it's It's very important as a coach in White Bear Lake.

I've been coaching baseball here now in the township for probably five or six years.

And it's great.

Some of the kids are taking some for home.

But I think it's also a pride thing.

And knowing the median household incomes in White Bear and White Bear Lake, it's surprising to me to see it because I think we've got above the state average.

But still, like you said, these are our neighbors.

It is.

I once broke up with a girl because she lived in White Bear Lake.

[laughs]

Yeah.

I liked her.

I liked everything about her.

But I just could not bring myself to drive to White Bear Lake one more time.

[laughs]

For those who have listened before, you've heard that I've got a place in Chaska.

I live in White Bear Lake.

Kill me.

It's 53 minutes if there's no traffic.

[laughs] But we had a, a much prettier, uh, fourth today, the wife of our guest, John King, and we'll talk about her later.

But today's round was Manitou Ridge in White Bear Lake.

After, after playing with Sur earlier in the summer, we had to go see where the prostitute from Fargo transferred to in White Bear Lake and, and cheated on the Bears.

So we, we checked that one off the list today.

Yeah.

I mean, it, it's a li- I ...

We were talking after, like, we were probably ...

If there was many more than us out there that weren't from White Bear Lake or the nearby area ...

There's a touching new tribute from the hockey community for a family killed in a tragic fire.

Jessie Pierce and her three children, Hudson, Caden, and Avery, all died in a house fire in White Bear Lake earlier this year in March.

Pierce was a longtime hockey reporter.

And now the hockey community is making sure that her legacy lives on with the Jessie Pierce Community Cup.
