> His family still treats him the same, too. His grandmother, Eleanor Nordgaard, still bakes him his favorite banana bread — moist and perfectly baked; on one trip, arena security wouldn’t let her bring in the Ziploc bag of bread to a game, so the family hid it outside behind a rock and grabbed it after to hand to Knueppel.
