We drove to Iowa to see the Wild play and that was one of the best weekends of the winter. Great town. Friendly people. Will visit Des Moines again. 🙂

I absolutely HATED McLeod when he was with Colorado - especially when he injured Spurgeon running him into the back wall along with his great tilts with Chris Stewmanchu. That was so many years ago, but I still remember those things. I guess that means McLeod was definitely doing his job. Seems like a great guy. Couldn’t think of a better a guy to be the Iowa team captain - a 37 yr old guy still fighting and grinding his way in the AHL because he loves the game. He can provide so much advice and wisdom to the young guys on how to be pros. I hope they listen.

You should do one of these with your ECHL affiliate. It would be cool to see the differences between the three leagues.

Coach Army is a great teacher and the Wild are lucky to have a coach of his passion and with real life honesty to teach these young men how to win into the future.

Amazing production, cant thank you people enough for the hard work you put it making these Becoming Wild series.

Man, it must be heart breaking being sent up to the big leagues then be sent back down. I hope all these young players get their chance and make a difference.

I`m a NYR fan from Scotland who loves watching 'hockey stuff' and found this an interesting and great watch 👍

Minor league hockey has really become something special. The ahl and the echl put on a great show and if you have the opportunity to catch a game I highly recommend it.

Absolutely love the Iowa Wild!! Great franchise top to bottom.

I remembered my last hockey game. I was 17. I loved the game, best game I ever played. It was over and I knew it. Played once in over thirty beer league. But the guys were mostly Canadian ex pats and ex college players. Nah.. it was over. These are the lucky ones.

Очень хочется кубок любимой Миннесоте ❤️❤️❤️

Canucks fan here, this was really well done!!! I hope more teams in the league will make something like this for their farm teams

Love these series and I love the spotlight they give to the guys down on the farm.

Love Beckham’s and Hickett’s dynamic

If the Wild end up facing the Avalanche in the playoffs this year, Cody McLeod should do the "Let's play hockey" call at the start of a game. Peel off an Avs jersey and have a Wild jersey on underneath. Mess with their heads.

0:25 Shout out to the Custodians that go from an easy vacuum night to a complete shampoo and wipe down in the locker room.

Dream Wild, Play Wild.❤

U guys are amazing. U have the best teammates that cheer u on. Ive been to one game but money has always been a problem. I hope to go to more games in the futer. I love u guys and i hope u keep trying ur hardest.

I used to despise McLeod on the Avs. He seems like a great guy though. Nice video!

Ни чего не понятно, но ооооочень интересно!!!!!!

The AHL is where players learn that it is a long way to the Top if you want to play in the NHL. Players find out that you have to take the proper Mental approach to playing Pro Hockey. It takes hard work, it takes dedication to becoming the Best Pro Hockey player possible. The Minor Leagues will test you. See if you as a player have what it takes.

I love livin in Des Moines Iowa wild games are sooooo fun

These Becoming Wild videos are brilliant.

Great video, was interesting and fun to watch it, thanks 👍

I remember watching the Des Moines Buccaneers as a kid. Des Moines hockey is all grown up!

Honestly a really cool documentary.

Man I wish I could Coach, I am so inspired I love the energy

I love McCleod, I'm an Ave's fan but I have always cheered for him. Stand up guy.

Awesome video, ive been to xcel center i needa make it to des moines soon ! Go Wild/houstonAeros

Love these types video s

Let’s go wild! Win the cup!

Great job sitting at home watching the finals

Can you do a episode the life in the ECHL?

Is it just me or does Army seem a little weird. Excellent video though. The Wild organization does a fabulous job on youtube. Extremely impressive because I'm a Senators fan and don't follow the wild but the content here is so good.

Coach sounds like he just chain smoked three packs of natives

Ahl is nasty one of the hardest leagues to get there if not the hardest

meeOOOOow!

why does beckman have a UW hat on?

Ребята, у вас столько стало болельщиков из России. Сделайте русские субтитры. Пожалуйста!!!!!!!!

Will my fav team respond

video coach needs some halls

This is why I wish I could play hockey, but I kinda can’t, contact sports are sometimes for me and sometimes aren’t.

Go Wolves. 2022 Calder Cup Champions.

3rd!!!

Some pretty average goaltending

You shouldn`t be talking about calder contention, while you are not even ranked within the playoff spots. The only real contenders are stockton and chicago

The coach's voice is so annoying
