——————————————

Tyler & Brittany Larson – Good luck this season, Beavers!
Excited to see how this season goes, especially with it being Tom’s last before retirement!

Emmett & Leo are excited to be watching from Bismarck!

–

Julie – Gonna miss the serratore battle
But both frank & tom have had pretty cool runs at air force and bemidji

Tyler Larson – Season opener for Beavers & Squirt teams in Bismarck! Good luck this season, Beavs!
Emmett looks up to former goalie Mattias Sholl, even picked his number for this season since he too is a goalie. Emmett still has the signed puck you helped him get in 2022 while dad was deployed, too.
Raising future beavers!

Tim and Allison johnson – Glad to be watching the Beavers tonight. Went to Seratore supper and met the team. Putting faces to the jersey adds to the game. Beavers need to keep the energy of the first period.

Go Beavers!!!!

Krista Beach – I’m watching the game from Gaylord, Michigan!

I don’t know if you remember when I emailed the booth a few years ago when I was baking my own birthday cake in Houston, Texas. I moved back north this summer to live near my family, and tonight I’m baking another cake, this time for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary! Can you give a big “happy anniversary” to Tom and Jean Beach?

It’s sad to see Tom Serratore go, as he was the coach back when I was a student in 2001. Wish him the best from me! Go Beavers!

Dean – Watching the Beavers tonite from Crestview,Florida. Last year here, so I’ll be watching next year in a seat at the Sanford Center. GO BEAVERS!

Andrew – Streaming from Tucson, AZ

Cheering for the Huskies, check out the Huskies Hockey Podcast

I did not attend the Spaghetti Dinner, sadly. Sounds fun though! 🙂

Thanks for the broadcast!

Jon Olson – Hey Biss and Schultze. Watching from Spooner WI tonight. Working on the weekend, but still making time to watch the Beavs! Go Beavs!

Krista Beach – It’s a spice cake from scratch, the “Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook recipe. So was the one I mentioned previously (from 2022 apparently, so it is no surprise you don’t remember).

Go Beavers!

Grandpa & Grandma Hildebrand – Cheering LOUD & PROUD from British Columbia Canada! Go Beavers!!
