How bout the Broten family? Neal, Aaron, Paul, Jacob, Shawn. Did I miss any? All those boys plus their offspring kind of stack up as a mountain in my opinion. At least 3 are playing in Roseau now - Chase - A Bantam, Blaine - A Pee Wee and Nate - A Squirt. Pretty tough to top that group.

Bernie McBain? But would you be able to fit anyone else on the MT ?

Willard Ikola, goalie at Eveleth - 3 state titles & coach at Edina - 33 years, 8 state titles
John Mayasich, player at Eveleth - 4 state titles, 36 state tourney goals
Larry Ross, coach at I Falls - 31 years, 6 state titles
Oscar Almquist, coach at Roseau - 27 years, 4 state titles
Rube Gustafson, coach at St. Paul Johnson - 19 years, 4 state titles

Now that would be a site

Can we start building it tomorrow on Buck hill...

Mariucci, Mayasich, Brooks, Broten.

Not to be picky but it's the Mt. Rushmore of High School hockey. Maruicci, Brooks & Broten were great HS players, but made their fame in college, the Olympics and the pros.

I'd have to say Boucha,Mayasich, Spehar, and Broten (Neal)

Sorry Bud, the Roseau team with the Broten brothers was exciting to watch. Huge numbers on that big line with Bryan Erickson and they alone made the Rams one of the state's top teams.

HAHA he single handedly change minnesota high school hockey. He is responsible for creating All Star hockey players.

No disrespect to the Brotens and Bryan Erickson, but they couldn't get past Edina in the state quarters and semis 3 years in a row. 3rd place don't get you on Mt. Rushmore.

Winning the state title is all about goaltending. They had less than none.

Don't s'pose small enrollment caught up with them, do ya'.

Without that line there was no excitement about Roseau those years. They were very accomplished.

You cant whine and backstab on Mt. Rushmore so that would keep the Bianchi's out.

What about the WOOGER!

Herb Brooks, no doubt.


As for WBL-
Ryan Carter
Brian Bonin

The City of White Bear lake has some noted names as well-

Steve Janaszak lived in White Bear but attended Hill-Murray, he was the back-up goalie for the 1980 Olympic team.
Moose Goheen has the annual youth tournament named in his honor.
Doc Romnes and David Tanabe

But none of those really apply to high school Hockey.

Don't forget Wes Barrett.

Herb Brooks
John Mayasich
Phil Housley
And either Willard Ikola/Dave Spehar

1st Team:

Herb Brooks
John Mayasich
Willard Ikola
Neal Broten
Steve Christoff
Robb Stauber

2nd Team:
Larry Ross
Tom Saterdalen
Brian Bonin
Jordan Leopold
Johnny Pohl
Aaron Broten

I find it interesting that so many have Brooks on the HS list as he was maybe the 4th or 5th best player on the 1955 JHS team. Herb made his mark in the college and Olympic ranks.
