It's old news now, but that Hoffarber shot in the Hopkins hoops game ranks, in my book, with the Miracle on Ice as one of the two of the most amazing things I have seen in sports. One was an amazing team effort and the other an amazing individual effort. I'm not sure I'll ever see anything to beat t...

Keith calls it like it is, cuts through the BS and doesn't pull any punches. For the kids who are dedicated and work hard he's a great coach to play for. For the kids who have a chip on their shoulder and want to slack off.....you may want to try another program. <p></p><i></i>

Moorhead was outcoached! AHA bottled up the Spud forwards in the neutral zone and Moorhead never changed their approach. They should have dumped the puck in deep but the Moorhead coaching staff was too stubborn or stupid to make a change. Moorhead had better talent, but AHA had a better game plan an...

Keith Hendrickson was named Coach of the Year for single A schools this afternoon at the Mister Hockey Banquet.<br><br>A fine tribute to a guy who has done some tremendous things for the Virginia Youth and HS hockey programs. Apparently there are some knowledgeable hockey people in the state who rec...

Lucia and Guentzel wanted Niskanen to play juniors instead of his senior year of HS. The big mistake was when they told him he wasn't good enough to be a Gopher coming straight out of HS. Sandelin wasn't that cocky so Niskanen will be a Bulldog. <p></p><i></i>
