JAMESTOWN, ND. (NewsDakota.com) – Hockey is more than just a game for the University of Jamestown, and the division one men’s team made sure to help make a young fan feel special after a stint in the hospital.

Shana Altringer’s youngest daughter, Hadlee, and their entire family are huge supporters of Jimmie hockey. Altringer and family travel to road games and “don’t miss a home game”. So, when Hadlee recently spent a couple days in the children hospital, including a trip to Fargo, the Jimmies made sure she had something special waiting for her at the next game.

When the Altringer’s and Hadlee returned to Wilson Arena for women’s hockey on Sunday, the UJ men’s division one team was there to hopefully help her feel better with a gift bag. The Jimmies provided a UJ bear, hockey stick, coloring books, markers, stickers, and a foam finger. The players also had a card for the young Jimmie fan that was signed by the team.

“Hockey is more than a game, and they proved that this weekend.” Altringer said. The Jimmies host Illinois State Friday and Saturday night to round out its home regular season schedule.
