Minnesota North Stars: History and Memories with Lou Nanne

Bob Showers became a North Star fan in 1969 when the North Stars’ top farm team, the Iowa Stars, played a single season in his hometown of Waterloo, Iowa.

His love of minor league hockey at Waterloo’s McElroy Auditorium prompted many trips to Minnesota for North Stars games at the Met. A graduate of the University of Iowa, Showers was a Sales & Marketing representative for the North Stars from 1987 until the ownership change in 1990.

Showers resides in Bloomington, Minnesota, with his wife Donna and their daughters Jenny and Audrey.
