Tyler Voigt's coach describes him as a "team-first" kind of player.
That attitude has helped him reach the top of a list filled with impressive individual hockey players.
With two goals and two assists in Rochester Lourdes' 8-2 boys hockey victory against La Crescent on Tuesday, Voigt became the Eagles' career scoring leader.
The senior forward now has 71 goals and 83 assists, for 154 points, in his three-plus years with the Lourdes varsity.
Voigt broke a 21-year-old record set by Pat Arendt (151 points), who finished his Lourdes career in 1988.
"Tyler's work ethic has really made him the player he is," Lourdes head coach Aaron Gill said.
The school's all-time top five also includes Brandon Harrington, a 2004 graduate, who is third on the list with 149 points, while Rob Sandberg (1987) has 143 and Tim Kelley (1974) has 130.
Voigt's linemates, Cole Peterson and Taylor Funk, are close to breaking into that group. After Tuesday's game, Peterson has 128 career points and Funk has 127.
Voigt has at least one point in 18 of 23 games this season for the Eagles (16-7-0). He has four hat tricks this year, including a season-high six-point game against Mankato East on Jan. 27 (three goals, three assists).
Voigt had 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in varsity play as a freshman. He followed that with a breakout sophomore season in which he scored 15 goals and had 24 assists. He had a career-best 25 goals and 24 assists last season, when Lourdes reached the Section 1A championship game.
Voigt is in line to reach the 30-goal and 30-assist marks this season. He has 28 goals and 27 assists heading into the Eagles' regular season finale on Saturday at Totino-Grace.
"Tyler is a total team player," Gill said, "whether it's scoring goals or making plays for teammates, he's always been a team-first kind of guy."

Actually, it turns out Tyler is 18 points shy of the Lourdes record. We found an article today in the Rochester Post-Bulletin archives from March 26, 1992, showing Shawn Corfits ended his Lourdes career with 172 points. Tyler has 154.
Apparently a lot of stats from those early 1990s teams weren't passed along to subsequent coaching staffs, so the current Lourdes coaches believed they had an up-to-date list and I had no reason to doubt them. The one list I could find of Lourdes' all-time scorers had Arendt at the top.
There will be a corrected article in tomorrow's P-B.

He left because he could get a better education and Bob Haskins was the best coach in Rochester. I dont think he was scared of being in the shadows of those two...what have they done?SEMinnHockeyNut wrote:Team first or Tyler first? Is he even Catholic?
He left his Mayo friends after 8th grade and the public schools to escape the shadow of Charlie and Tom eh?

Class A hockey is small time but I am positive the small time Class A Lourdes team would dominate Mayo this year just like they did the one time they played a couple years back with Lourdes winning something like 10-3??GoMayo wrote:Why is this a big deal nobody cares about Loudres, Class A Hockey is small time.bww55 wrote:his or any other player's religion - NONE OF YOUR BUSINESSsouthernmnscout wrote: He is a healthy scratch every other night!

Tyler Voigt has had a great career. leave it at that.
The Topic is about Tyler Voigt doing a great job and having a successful career.
As we all know. Or at least I wish someone important would observe and change. It is not about how good you were in bantams. It is how good you got in High School or midgets that matters to the Junior teams and colleges.
Unfortunately in Rochester your hockey may end because you are told that it is about the guys you play with and not how you play for them. Players need to work hard to make thier teammates successful. With this in mind Tyler Voigt has a huge chance to be a very good player down the road. IE
James Gaulrapp, Corey Lievermann
If you go out into the real hockey world and expect to get to play with the best guys right away you will be disappointed in most cases. You need to have enough persistence to listen and work and get better and if you have the talent it can work out.
I am trying to say attitude and effort are the most important components in making it. It is not about the other guys.
Good Luck to Tyler and the Rest of the Rochester boys.
Looking forward to a great crosstown high rivalry game tonight.
I wish Lourdes would play all the Rochester Teams and then all this talk would be over.

Yes you can be critical of Charlie as well.
However I have to believe had Tyler stuck with his friends at Mayo, Charlie stays as well.
Don't forget Charlie scored 16 goals as a freshman playing most of the year with Canfield and Pickel. If he had Tyler and maybe Tom on his line Mayo probably makes state in '06 with Matt A, Sackett, and Hurley another nice line with Canz and Fersch and Donohue backing up that offense.
The next year still might have been Century but Mayo wouldve had the same top two lines and Fisher, Flott and Whitney joining the mix.
Maybe Chezik stays at Mayo and then you have lines 1 and 1a. The BAT line along with Chezik, Voigt, and Charlie. Sounds happy to me. Mayo wouldve walked through the sections last year and this year even with average D.
A 3rd line of Block, Flott, and Goslee is a great 3rd line. Maybe Rudi Schiebel stays??? Mayo would have a decent 4th line as well because Kurth stays. We all know what Yaggy can do as well.
Don't forget that Coach Grosso juggled the BAT line last year to make Charlie happy and they had a terrible slump as the team chemistry suffered as well.
I never said Haskins was not a good coach. However, RYHA basically has the Lourdes/Century Bantam A program run by all the former red and black guys who have killed JM hockey even though their buddy is now the JM coach. Lourdes has hurt the 3 public schools in Rochester and Winona with their ways. Another Funk kid is coming to Lourdes next year, not to mention taking Amundson from JM, and Peterson and Banahman from Century. Now Brandraups kids and Schneider's kids will wear purple. They tried to get King from JM and Lourdes people were talking to Dingle as a 7th grader and are now talking to the Garvey goalie from the Bantam B-1 team this year. It might not be the coaches, but it is the purple posse doing their work. The RYHA purple gang only wants to produce 15-17 kids per year. They control the one true Bantam team in town and made sure they got their pick of their coach at Lourdes even though Marv Peters tried to hire Forletti for the job.
Yes Lourdes is good but they have the pipeline set now. There is not one Mayo kid on the top Bantam team and probably won't be for quite some time. In the past two years there has only been one Bantam A kid to go to Mayo. More and more 9th graders are skipping Bantams. Mayo's jr class had 10 Bantam B players two years ago and they were on 3 teams.
I'm not sure about the number of JM kids on the top Bantam team this year but my guess is that they will always suffer in the years to come.
The idea of having one Pee Wee A team is to develop the 'elite players'. Funny thing that when the new way started Rochester is now producing less elite/D-1 players than 10 years ago.
No other city has such a stupid system in the state. Every intelligent hockey mind in the state can see it.
Back when Sack was at JM he got almost all the kids from the one Bantam A team for years and they were awesome no doubt. Then the association finally split in the 1990's and Grosso and Whitney finally had some players and went to state 6 times between 1992-2000.
I would say a coach with 600 wins who has always had depth issues can coach. Many years Mayo's teams have been filled with B level players and even some C players on varsity. If you look at the game closely you will see plenty of in game adjustments from Mayo. No way does this year's team lose to Delano!
D-1 players -
Century - 1 in ten years
JM has had 18 I think
Mayo 23 I think
Lourdes - many and that started heavily once they started taking kids from the top Bantam team and away from JM, Mayo, Century, and Winona.
When was the last JM D-1 player - Bryce Lampman who played one year at JM. Was Harrington the last Lourdes one?
The Gill boys played at JM, Shartuck, and Lordes, but I believe they started in Mayo territory.
On another note, when I was taking my Squirt B2 son to practice this fall I noticed Todd Lampman running Lourdes 'captain's practice'. I have also seen him at regular Lourdes practices and games this year talking to Lourdes coaches and players, which is a direct violation of MSHSL rules. If you with players in the fall you cannot coach them during the season.
Tyler is a good player and I wish him well. However I do have a problem with how some of these kids end up in purple.
However I have to believe had Tyler stuck with his friends at Mayo, Charlie stays as well.

Nut----Get over it. Are they supposed to play in the Lourdes youth program? It happens everywhere with private schools. I am not saying it is right. You even said your self that Tyler left after 8th grade. So how does that mean that he left his Mayo friends? I do not think they have 8th grade at Mayo last time I looked.
It happens everywhere with private schools. They do not have their own youth systems so the kids that play there have to come from somewhere.
And the last Lourdes DI player wasJamie Ruff who was at BSU but chose to leave for River-Falls. Brandon Bahnemann will possibly go DI next year.

Regarding Charlie Thauwald
I spoke with Charlie last night at the Century Mayo game.
He had a good season playing with a painful injury he played in and did well in 22 of the 24 games he was on the Chicago Steel roster. He plans to go back and get better next year and I hope he has a great career.
I know he has the physical tools and work ethic to go far.
He only was a scratch two games as a senior in High school is a good effort on his part.
I wish him all the success on and off the ice along with all the boys I hope they all go as far as their hard work will take them.
He had surgery to correct the injury and hopefully will heal and go on to greater things.

That is good. It would be great to have more Rochester kids playing D1 hockey, and hopefully WCHA hockey. Charlie and Tyler both will be given their chance.
However, the number of 'elite' players is down in Rochester, and it seems to have started with the current set-up.
My point was not about their individual success, but rather the shady things going on with RYHA. I know it is probably difficult to hear the criticism of the purple posse since your son now coaches there.
I wonder how Mayo would have done in 1995 had the son of your friend stayed with Jason and Matt Leimbek and not gone to JM. Perhaps that would've given Mayo a 2nd line to beat Moorhead that year?
I appreciate that you care about all players, but I also know from your posts that you probably agree with my in philosophy of how to run a youth hockey program. Rochester has tons of squirt teams, but few bantam teams and there is a reason for that. There is absolutely no logic to the way things are set up having kids in the same neighborhood playing at the same level, but on 3-4 different teams.
If you don't think it is happening call the Kurth family and see how many people got in that young man's ear before he left Mayo HS after his freshman year. I also find it funny that nobody responded to the individual running captain's practice and then still talking to players and coaches in season.
As far as private schools not having their own associations, that is not true. Some private schools have now created their own associations in hockey and Lourdes has its own youth basketball programs. It can be done. Those of us who tried to form our own Mayo association under the umbrella of RYHA were told we could not because they built the rinks and they threatened to make our squirts practice at 9PM if we did it. The last time I checked there is more 'Mayo money' in those rinks than 'Century money' since Mayo kids have been paying for youth hockey much longer.

Rochester vs Moorhead actually the top line that year in the tournament in my mind was the senior line.
Thompson Elliot and the tough linebacker.
Actually Thompson put it on the post in OT and we could have easily won
and went on to the finals...
That is the difference you need a team a group of warriors that will not let the other guys down and will find a way to win. It is a Rochester dilemma that is taught that you need the special guys.
I need to have the guys think they all are special and can make the play that wins the game.
For instance Jason Davis never played in the Youth Program at the Bantam level and went on to score many meaningful goals those years. He went on to play and contribute at Green Bay in the USHL with Jason.
The one boy I wish would have come over from Lourdes was Chad Clark gosh I loved that kids passion.
Those kids knew they could get it done and Lorne Grosso coached them well. I think the game was a classic.
1/4 " away from playing for the title....
Too bad they resurfaced for OT as we were all over em.
That was a great game. Dick Liembek and I were on the Red line about 30 rows up behind the benches and Matt made that fantastic play to tie the game.
I remember telling Dick after the Moorhead kids stole the puck and went in and scored on a two on one to go ahead.
I told Dick "Now we are going to see what your boy can do".
I know that Matt Liembek was the most creative and strong willed player that I have ever had. I really enjoyed him and thought that he would be painted on the wall at Mariucci if he would have gotten the right chances.
Wow it is nearly playoff time and I am getting fired up.
My cousin Tony Scheid's Stillwater Ponies are playing Roseville for a bid to the State Girls tourney.
Former Austin Packer St. Paul Vulcan and Wisconsin Badger and professional.
That group of kids in Austin were fantastic and they did not have any experts telling they were not good enough just a nut like me telling em they were better than everyone. Good bantam coach Maynard Wolfe and Lynn McCallister.
I think about 6 of them played College hockey... I got to coach them a little when they were Pee Wee's and Bantam's.
Good Luck to Tony and his Team today....

Tyler Voigt is a current player that I have had the great experience to watch progress. He is playing with great passion and strength and shooting the puck like a rocket. I look forward to remembering all the great plays that I have gotten to watch him make.
Good Luck Tyler and the Eagles....
Sorry for digressing on your topic.
