A Commitment To Cover Lake Minnetonka-area Sports

Sports are a part of every community. They provide a source of energy on a fall Friday night, a vehicle for navigating the long Minnesota winters and a talking point for comparing athletes, teams and success years down the road.

That’s where we come in.
