DEDIcATION

RON MADDOX“MR. SAINT PAUL”

1938 - 2010

Ron Maddox, a longtime St. Paul booster, former City Council president, a bar owner and the co-founder of the Taste of Minnesota, died after a courageous bout with cancer on February 19, 2010. Maddox became a fixture in Saint Paul after moving to the Capital City from his native state of Michigan in 1966. He was the lead promoter for the Taste of Minnesota festi-val for more than 25 years. In addition, he was a member of the Saint Paul City Council and he owned several bars, among them the Blue Chip at 369 Cedar St. in downtown Saint Paul.

Maddox was also a survivor when it came to his personal health. According to his family, Maddox stopped counting heart attacks after number seven. He also recovered from a brain tumor and had several knee surgeries. He battled strokes, diabetes and car accidents along the way. He never let setbacks slow him down in anything he set out to achieve for his city.

Ron was a huge supporter of the Minnesota Wild since the team’s inception in 1997. The Wild wishes to thank Ron and his family for their loyal and steady support throughout our history.

“He was a gentle giant if there ever was one. His loyalty to his friends and to his favorite City was without limit.”

-- Dick Zehring, Saint Paul businessman

Bill Robertson enters his 14th season as the Vice President, Communications & Broadcasting for the Min-nesota Wild and its parent company, Minnesota Sports & Entertainment (MSE). Since joining the organization in January of 1998, Robertson’s responsibilities have included overseeing the organization’s media relations, community giving, team publications, website content and overall broadcasting efforts, along with the club’s NHL and local broadcast schedules. He serves as the organization’s main spokesperson and also oversees communications efforts for all events at Xcel Energy Center and the Saint Paul RiverCentre complex. In addi-tion, Robertson plays a role in the club’s team marketing and corporate partner initiatives. He served as the organization’s main liaison and led the strategic business planning of the 2004 NHL All-Star Weekend events, World Cup of Hockey 2004 and the 2008 Lester Patrick Awards Banquet held in Saint Paul.

Robertson, 49 (3/21/61), has played a major role in the inception of four professional sports franchises (Min-nesota Timberwolves, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Minnesota Wild and Minnesota Swarm) and the opening of

four major sporting venues – Target Center, Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim, Edison International Field of Anaheim and Xcel Energy Center. He came to the Minnesota Wild from The Walt Disney Company, where he joined the organization in May of 1993 and oversaw the media relations efforts of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim during its inaugural season. Following Disney’s purchase of MLB’s California Angels in 1996, his duties expanded to include the management of media relations, team publications and community relations for the Mighty Ducks and Angels. Prior to joining Disney, Robertson worked for the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves and Target Center from 1989 to 1993.

The 1983 speech communication graduate of California State University–Fullerton has received several distinguished media awards including the prestigious 2005-06 Dick Dillman Award, given to the NHL’s top public relations staff. Robertson was also a recipient of the award four consecutive seasons in Anaheim (1994-97). In 2003, The Hockey News selected the Minnesota Wild as possessing the NHL’s best media relations department in its “The Best of Everything in Hockey” issue. In 2000, Robertson was honored as one of the “100 People to Watch” in Minnesota by Minneapolis/Saint Paul Magazine and one of Twin Cites Business Journal’s “40 Under 40.” He also has been chosen to serve as media relations liaison for the U.S. Olympic men’s and women’s ice hockey teams at both the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah and the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy. He also worked the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles as a media relations liaison.

The Saint Paul native is active with several Minnesota-based philanthropic charities and serves on many local community committees. Robertson enjoys playing golf and tennis in his spare time and represents the organization as a public speaker for many local events. Robertson resides in Eagan and has a son, Brett, and a daughter, Brooke.

Jamie Spencer enters his fourth season as Vice President, Customer Sales & Service for the Minnesota Wild and has been with the organization since June of 1997. Spencer’s responsibilities include overseeing all Minnesota Wild Ticket Sales and Service. The Wild begin the 2010-2011 NHL season having sold out every home game in franchise history, posting 409 consecutive contests (369 regular season, 27 preseason and 13 playoff), the longest current streak in the NHL. The total attendance for the Wild’s first nine seasons stands at 6,825,905.

Spencer also serves as Executive Vice President of Business Operations for the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Houston Aeros, being named to the position April 20, 2009. In this role with the Aeros, Spencer’s primary responsibility is to provide executive leadership and direction to the entire organization, with particular focus on the Ticket Sales and Service, Corporate Sales and Service, Retail Sales, Marketing Game Operations, Com-munications & Broadcasting, Charitable Giving and Finance/Administrative.

Prior to joining the Wild, Spencer enjoyed a collegiate hockey career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he served as captain his senior year. He then joined the professional ranks playing in the East Coast and American Hockey Leagues, within the Anaheim Mighty Ducks minor league system. He also represented the United States as a member of Team USA at the 1995 World Championship in Stockholm, Sweden.

Spencer, 37 (8/11/73), is a member of the NHL Ticket Advisory Board and the AHL Sales and Marketing Committee. He has a passion for sports and spends a lot of his spare time at the rink, teaching hockey to children of all ages. The University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate is a native of Indianapolis, Ind. He and his wife, Kindra, daughters, Emmy and Scarlet, and son, Levi, reside in Rosemount.
