Best athletes in High School Hockey
Which players, past or present, have not only been studs on the ice, but in other high school sports as well?

Chris Hickey dominated in football and played some ball along with Ryan McDonagh. Ryan Bohr great ball player, Eddy from Woodbury is also good at at baseball and I did see him on there football roster for three years but i saw him against Cretin and lets face it nobody's going to excel against them.

Some names from the past few years.
Dan Welch, Hastings- All State in Football, Hockey, and I believe Baseball (if not he was very good anyways)
Paul Martin, Elk River- Exact same story as Welch only I believe he was like a 4.0 student to go along with it.
Colin Auchenbach, Apple Valley- I believe an all-state goalie, now playing professional Lacrosse.

No they didn't but someone said that Joe Stejskal was the best all around athlete they had ever seen.D6Rocks wrote:Weinke and Mauer played hockey?
I don't recall that.
Dave Winfield. Best all around athlete. I think he might have played squirts for St. Paul Johnson
Apparently this person has not seen Joe Mauer.
The U invented swagger.
Ben is a very good baseball player also. I believe he started at shortstop as a soph last year. He may have led the team in bombs as well. Not bad for a soph. Funny, I remember when I played amateur ball, John would bring his kids to the games when they were little. Hard to believe their already young men. Man I'm gettin' old!ap4mvp wrote:That is correcthockeyjunkie2 wrote: One of the Hanowski Bro's is going to SDSU for Baseball. I beieve Beau.

Past player Matt Niskanen
From USA HOCKEY MAGAZINE:
Even with his blossoming hockey career, Niskanen still played other sports, excelling in baseball and football. At Virginia-Mountain Iron Buhl High School, he was a four-time all-conference baseball player (pitcher and infielder) and was also a three-year starting quarterback on the football team. In 2004-05, he was the first player to double as the Duluth News-Tribune’s football and hockey player of the year in the same year.

Maybe they didn't see Wienke play ever and probably didn't see Mauer in HS.Goldy Gopher wrote:No they didn't but someone said that Joe Stejskal was the best all around athlete they had ever seen.D6Rocks wrote:Weinke and Mauer played hockey?

Re: Best athletes in High Schhol Hockey
Eddy was a 3-year, 3-sport varsity starter. Free safety in football and catcher in baseball. You don't see that a whole lot.wbmd wrote:For one, Woodburys' David Eddy in both football and baseball.SEChockeyfan08 wrote:Which players, past or present, have not only been studs on the ice, but in other high school sports as well?

Yes he did. He was one of the best running backs in state his junior year and it was a huge loss for Cretin to have him quit to avoid injury.mch wrote:did he really dominate? he didn't even play football his senior yearprivatepride wrote:Chris Hickey dominated in football and played some ball along with Ryan McDonagh.

Another name to throw around is James Laurinitis. Solid Hockey player, amazing at football.
