Minnesota Nice meets Friendly Manitoba

You know they're in St. Paul, MN, because you can hear them yell "True North" during the Canadian national anthem. Now, some Jets fans are garnering attention for another reason.

Jason Langlois of Selkirk, along with his cousin and brother all travelled to Saint Paul to watch the Jets and Wild for Sunday night's game three. And while the game may have ended on a bad note for the Jets, and their travelling fans, it started off on the right foot.

Prior to the warm up of Sunday night's game the three decided to have some fun. "We were razzing some of the Minnesota fans chanting 'Go Jets Go,' and there were a bunch of kids around and they started razzing us back. We were having a good time. And I figured what the heck?"

What Langlois decided to do next has gone viral with Wild fans. "To be honest with you I think it's been a little bit blown up," Langlois says.

Langlois says he was having so much fun with the kids from Minnesota he decided to buy them donuts. All of them. That means Langlois bought over 30 bags of donuts. To top it off, he tipped the person selling the donuts $40.

"I was there having a good time, met some great people, and if I can make somebody's day by buying some donuts, and giving a nice tip, that's what it's all about," Langlois says.

A parent of one of the young Wild fans shared the story online the following day. Since then the story has spread across the internet with people praising the man for his kindness and generosity.

Friends of Langlois say that this isn't out of the ordinary for the Selkirk man. "I'm from Manitoba, I didn't come from much, and now I'm doing not too bad for myself. So any little thing l can do to help out anybody, that's why I kind of give back."

The response was what one might expect. "They appreciated it. All the kids did. It was awesome, lots of fist-pumping."

While the Jets lost the game Sunday night, it was still a good time for Langlois.

As far as the rest of the playoffs? "They're going to the Cup," he says.
