This should be a great opportunity for someone.....Youth program support, Bielenberg ice facilities and demographics are good and the team plays in the top SEC conference and they are currently located in Section 3 one of the weaker paths to State (well at least compared to other metro sections). Linda Plante the Principal at Woodbury is a huge hockey supporter. The Youth Association is engaging and trying to really get bigger numbers of girls into hockey. Woodbury HS is a leader in Girls soccer, basketball, softball and can be in hockey. Wes Bolin came in a few years ago at Woodbury HS boys coach and has made them a powerhouse and built a winning tradition – which can help the incoming girls coach.
The Girls Program has had 3 coaches in maybe 10 years. Current coaching staff was there 5 years and worked hard - I think this was their best season record close to .500? There are a few very talented HS players to build from and the team will have returning to start next year 2 seniors, 5 juniors. 2 sophmores and 1 freshman.
Woodbury youth hockey has produced some good female players they just aren't all playing in Woodbury.
Now Playing D1/D3: Breanna Miller, Hamlin Woodbury HS; Annie Bauerfeld, Bemidji State SSP HS; Emily Klatt, Gustavus Woodbury HS; Nicole Welch Robert Moris Woodbury HS/CDH;
