About Puck’s BBQ

Once upon a time, in the heart of the land of 10,000 lakes, there lived a man named James. James was not just your average Minnesotan; he was an avid hockey dad. With two sons who lived and breathed the sport, James spent most of his weekends in chilly ice rinks, cheering on his boys and their team. But James had a secret passion that went beyond hockey: he was a master of the grill. Every summer, James hosted epic backyard BBQ parties for his friends and fellow hockey parents. They'd gather around the grill, sharing stories of slap shots and power plays, all while savoring the delicious flavors James created. His barbecue sauce was the stuff of legend in their small Minnesota community. He'd spend hours experimenting with different ingredients, trying to capture the essence of the North Star State in a sauce.

James went to work, blending tomatoes and spices with the same passion he felt when watching his boys on the ice. He added a hint of smokiness to represent the fireside warmth of Minnesota winters and a touch of sweetness to symbolize the camaraderie shared in the locker rooms. Read their story
