How often do you call your parents?
Players for the Des Moines Buccaneers were asked this question as the team prepares for Parents Weekend, which begins Friday.
Not surprisingly, answers ranged from once a week to several times a day.
It’s all on video, so the parents will be the final judge.
The Buccaneers kick off the weekend Friday against the Sioux Falls Stampede at Mid-American Energy Company RecPlex, followed by a two-game series vs. the Tri-City Storm Saturday and Sunday.
Des Moines is 8-13-1 in front of the home crowd this season and 1-8-1 over their last 10 games.
Parents often bring the best out of their kids when they’re in the stands, so perhaps that will give the team a boost.
Puck drop for Friday is set for 7 Pm CT. Saturday’s game is scheduled for 6 Pm and Sunday is at 5 Pm.
