Speaking engagement

Former Vikings linebacker Wally Hilgenberg will speak this morning in Bloomington about living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Hilgenberg, who spent 12 seasons with the Vikings from 1968 to 1979, was diagnosed with the disease in 2006. The breakfast tribute at the Sheraton Hotel is hosted by Search Ministries.

Reusse: State's most loyal sports audience gets a brilliant return to hockey
