Minnesota Wild fans young and not-so-young turned out at the Northfield Ice Arena on Wednesday afternoon to collect autographs from three members of their favorite National Hockey League team.
Defenseman Clayton Stoner, goalie Darcy Kuemper and team radio analyst Tom Reid signed team cards, hockey sticks, jerseys and a variety of other memorabilia under a canopy outside the arena’s entrance.
At times during the one-hour autograph session, fans were lined up the length of the arena as they waited for their collectibles to be signed.
