Let's Play Hockey newspaper was started in 1972 in the basement of Bob Utecht, the popular long-time rink-side announcer for the Minnesota North Stars. He created the publication to help spread the news about the rapidly growing sport of hockey. Utecht named the newspaper after the famous words "Let's Play Hockey" which he used prior to the opening face-offs at the old Met Center, home of the North Stars.

Today, the Let's Play Hockey staff includes:

• Doug Johnson, President/Publisher

• Linda Johnson, Associate Publisher

• Kevin Kurtt, Managing Editor

• Mike Thill, Photographer

• Columnists: Jack Blatherwick, Rob LaPrade, John Russo
