Interesting that in tonight’s Game 1 of the Stanley Cup three of the Minnesota born players actually played Class A Hockey (Schmidt, Oshie & Niskanen) 2 Stayed through their senior year... maybe Class A hockey doesn’t hurt someone’s development?

@YouthHockeyHub
Thank you Boys for a great 4 year run. I can’t describe my emotion today as it’s so hard always to say good bye. These seniors did what they always do down 2 goals early in the 3rd period after a tough loss yesterday at 9 AM today and they RESPONDED & ended on a win!

11 years ago I drove a young Jaxon Nelson & Chaz Smedsrud from Luverne to my parent's place for some extra summer hockey training. They told me they dreamed of taking Luverne to State ✅ (2014) & playing D1 hockey. This weekend they both accomplished the 2nd goal. Congrats Boys!
We also extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the Motzko family during this extremely difficult time. You are all loved by so many in our community.

What a season. 26-4-1. State Champions. These boys bought into something bigger than themselves and showcased that on the state’s biggest stage. The true success of this season, however, was the growth of every member of our team as young men. For that, I’m extremely proud.
Congrats
