OK... I know from my readings here that there are alot of Broncos on this Forum. So I want to know if these Broncos can tell me about all the Who's Who in MN hockey that have connections to the Falls, i.e. Pat Michelletti spent his childhood there, Jaime Langenbrunner grew up in the Falls, Dave Spehar has relatives in the Falls, And Matt and Mark Cullen's Father is from the Falls . Can you guys add any more?

Where was he from
Lucia was from Grand Rapids, but everytime GR played THE Falls, and Lucia went into the corner, the Bronco players turned him into sawdust.
It happend so many times they named a motel after him in Grand Rapids.
