Lil' Smoke

With the Twins off today the closest thing to Twins news, in this part of Twins territory, was the news that the Sioux Falls Stampede of the United States Hockey League, a US juniors league, drafted Chris Berenguer, son of former Twins great Juan Berenguer.
I told Stampede coach Kevin Hartzell that I was somewhat surprised to hear that Senor Smoke had a son that played hockey, and he said, "You think you're surprised, ask Juan how surprised he was to find out his son was a hockey player."
Chris is a defenseman with an apparently bright future in the sport. His nickname is 'Lil' Smoke'
Hartzell told me that the Stampede is trying to get Big Smoke to come to Sioux Falls for a 'Juan Berenguer Night.' I couldn't tell if he was serious or not.
