NEPA Miners football has become famous as the Miners mini football helmet was a prop on NBC's hit TV show the Office which is based out of Scranton. Twenty-three minutes into the 2008 season premier, NEPA Miners team president fell off of his couch as the NEPA Miners mini-helmet was revealed on Kevin's desk as Andy and Angela walked away.
The NEPA Miners organization works hard year round and is very active in the community. The Miners do community service, fundraisers, youth football camps and even "The Office" festivities in Scranton. This off season Coach LaMagna dropped off the NEPA Miners mini football helmet along with some game programs, t-shirts and hats at a Scranton Chamber of Commerce Office pick up. The Scranton Chamber would then send all the business props to the set of the Office. This season the Miners scored big and made the season premier!
It seems to be a magical season for the Miners who are on pace for there best season in their young team history coming off a courageous come from behind victory on the road versus the New Jersey Wolves. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees won their championship; we will have to keep watching to see if the Miners can continue the magic here in NEPA. Keep watching "The Office" and look for that black and gold Miners helmet and we will see you October 4th for the Miners final regular season home game at Scranton Memorial Stadium. GO MINERS!
