Johnson Works Overtime to Stage 'Practice Of a Lifetime'

Johnson Works
Overtime To
Stage ‘Practice
Of A Lifetime’

After a year that included 80 NHL
regular season games, six playoff
games, as well as competing in the
2010 Olympic Winter Games and
the IIHF World Championships,
one would think that Jack Johnson
would want to get far away from a
rink during the summer months.
Instead, the Los Angeles Kings
standout defenseman returned to
Faribault, Minn., to host a Practice
of a Lifetime for Adam Vos, a 10-
year-old goalie, on Aug. 15.
Johnson spent his high school
years in Faribault playing for Shattuck
St. Mary’s Prep School before
joining the National Team Development
Program in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Vos, a goalie for the Faribault
Squirt A team and the 2000 Minnesota
Edge AAA team, was especially
excited to talk with Johnson
about winning a silver medal at the
Vancouver Olympics.
“He’s one of the best defensemen
in the world and I know he can
help us become better players. I am
so excited to skate with Jack Johnson
and my friends. I will never forget
this,” said Vos, who entered the
sweepstakes that is co-sponsored
by Bauer Hockey.
Play It Again Sports teamed up
with Bauer Hockey to stage the
promotion for the second consecutive
year.
