KIDS CLUB HIGHLIGHTS

Last Sunday the Wolf Pack invited all of the children and their families in the “Kid’s Club” to attend a practice. The event was narrated by Bob Crawford and radio personality and Pack booster, Damon Scott and the team’s mascot Sonar.

As each kid entered the arena they were greeted with a gift bag of toys sponsored by “Click-it or Ticket” which is dedicated to making sure that children are properly secured in their cars.

Once the practice began, Crawford educated the fans, both young and old alike, about what things the coaches and players do and what they look for out of the drills. There was lots of positive messages that were shared as well as several laughs as the players were often making fun of one another with Crawford.

When all was said and done the entire team split into four groups and went to different corners of the XL Center where they signed autographs for the roughly 500 or so people who attended. Based upon the smiles and jovial conversations in the various lines, it’s safe to say that a great time was had by all.

Great job by the Pack and their staff…

Here are a few pictures taken from the event.
