Warroad's Fantastic Finish Stops #1 Duluth Marshall
Warroad 3 Duluth Marshall 2 OT
It was a match-up of Class A powerhouses as the Hilltoppers of Duluth-Marshall visited The Gardens Arena in Warroad last Friday night. And like usual, it was a donnie-brooke from the start.
This contest was well worth the price of admission as both teams displayed the talents that have earned both programs Top 5 ratings (Duluth #1, Warroad #4).
Both clubs skated to a scoreless opening stanza. Early into the second frame, junior forward Zach Mausolf of Duluth-Marshall scored on a power play just :57 in. The game remained 1-0 until the third period when senior forward, David Hafferty of Duluth-Marshall scored a shorthanded goal to make it 2-0, at 9:23.
The Hilltoppers carried their 2-0 advantage into the final minute when Warroad pulled their goalie. At 16:44, senior forward Jeremy Hahn finally scored for the Warriors to make it a 2-1 game. As time was running out, junior defenseman Tai Larson put a shot on net from a sharp angle that trickled into the net, with 0.1 remaining, that tied the contest and forced overtime.
In overtime, Warroad picked up a penalty; however, junior forward Dane Shaugabay decided the game with a shorthanded tally at 3:44. Warroad outshot Duluth Marshall 29-21. For Warroad, Hahn and Shaugabay each had 1 goal, 1 assist. For Duluth Marshall, Mausolf had 1 goal, 1 assist.

Section 8A Bracketology
By: Timothy Oshie
Publisher
As it now stands, it is going to be a horse race down the stretch in Section 8A.
The front runners, Warroad and Park Rapids, have unblemished Section 8A records at 7-0-0 and 6-0-0, respectively. Only problem is the two programs do not face each other during the regular season. With the emergence of the Park Rapids Panthers hockey program the past few years, it will be safe to say this match-up could potentially become an annual home and away series.
Knocking on the door is the East Grand Forks Green Wave at 4-3-0, and the surprising Kittson-Central Wolfpack also at 4-3-0. EGF suffered a tough loss last night to its arch rivals, the Thief River Falls Prowlers at the Little Ralph, 4-2.
Kittson-Central has positioned itself as a Top 6 contender as well.
Bemidji, TRF and Red Lake Falls each have (6) points. The Prowlers have without a doubt played the tougher schedule to date amongst the three teams. With victories over Moorhead and EGF last night, Tim Berglund's squad will heat up and look forward to hosting the Section 8A Tournament in their barn this February.
Crookston took the league leading, Warroad Warriors, right down to the final moments last night in Crookston, with some spectacular goaltending by Matt Grove who steered aside 44 of 46 Warroad attempts. Lake of the Woods is always tough in the Section 8A Tourney and never say never when the Bears hit the ice.
Bagley and Walker-H-A have yet to notch a Section 8A win on the season.
Late January and early February usually brings sub-zero temperatures but the ice always seems to heat up.
Make sure the student bodies of each team come out and support the greatest Section in Class A, the northern boys of Minnesota and Section 8A.

SHOOTING STAR ... The Gopher’s Gigi Marvin Takes Aim At The Olympics - And Her Family’s Legacy
Warroad's Gigi Marvin broke the record books at Warroad High School on her way to earning the 2005 Ms. Minnesota Hockey. Gigi, now a Golden Gopher, keeps aim on following in the legecy of her grandfather, and Warroad's Mr. Hockey, Calvin Coolidge Marvin. Section 8A Hockey website congratulates Gigi Marvin, a true small town hero!

By: Jay Weiner
The Old Man was sick, and Gigi Marvin feared he might get upset by the news. So she reluctantly entered his room inside the modest home where he lived on Steenerson Street in Warroad—a long slap shot from Lake of the Woods. It was August 2004. At the time, Gigi was the one of the most prized college hockey recruits in the country. After visiting Harvard and Dartmouth—the best women’s hockey programs on the East Coast—she had decided that the University of Minnesota was the place for her; she wanted to be a Gopher. That’s what she had come to tell her grandfather, Cal Marvin, who had long been a supporter of Minnesota’s fiercest hockey rival, the University of North Dakota. “Hey, Grandpa,’’ Gigi said. “Is it all right if you see me in the maroon and gold?’’
If she had been born in any other family, or grown up in any other town, such news would have been cause for relief, if not outright celebration. The U of M was relatively close to home, and the Gopher women’s hockey program was among the best in the country.
But Gigi Marvin did not grow up in just any family or just any town. As she evolved from high school superstar to current Gophers standout to potential Olympian, she couldn’t dodge her genes or cast off her geography. History and DNA were wrapped around her like the laces on her skates. With her 5-foot-8-inch, 165-pound body, the one that glides so easily around opponents, she has become a human milepost on hockey’s highway. She plays and everyone watches. She’s a Marvin, after all, and she’s from Warroad.
It was once a rugged sport, reserved for toothless guys with names like Moose, the kind of stubby-bearded sorts Cal hung with after games in Thunder Bay and Whitehorse, Canada. Now, hockey is a different game, with new kinds of standard bearers. One is a rink rat named Gigi.

Roseau Rams Stay Perfect With OT Win
Courtesy of The Grand Forks Herald:
By: Virg Foss, Special To The Herald
For the second time in three weeks, Scott Oliver's son came through in the Nick of time.
Junior Nick Oliver's 6-on-4 power-play goal with 24.7 seconds left in regulation tied the game and senior Ben Nelson's backhander at 2:49 of overtime won it as the Roseau Rams edged Grand Forks Red River 2-1 on Tuesday night in a battle of two unbeaten high school hockey teams from neighboring states.
Roseau (14-0), the defending Minnesota Class AA state champion, and defending North Dakota champion Red River (12-1-1) put on a display of speed, skill, great goaltending and breath-taking transition games to keep a huge crowd at Fido Purpur Arena on the edge of the seats.
Oliver, who scored with less than a second left in regulation play in Roseau's victory over Bloomington Jefferson in the title game of the Herald Jason Stadstad Holiday Classic on Dec. 22, didn't wait long this time for his dramatic goal, his 11th of the season.

Miracle On Ice; The Complete Story
Courtesy Of "Miracle On Ice"
The United States team entered the competition seeded seventh in the final round of twelve teams that qualified for the Lake Placid Olympics. The team was composed of young collegiate players and amateurs. The Soviet Union was the favored team. Though classed as amateur(they were all professional players, but the Soviet Government gave them different job titles to compete), Soviet players essentially played professionally in a well-developed league with excellent training facilities.
They were led by legendary players in world ice hockey, such as Boris Mikhailov, a right-wing and team captain; Vladislav Tretiak, considered by many the best ice hockey goaltender in the world at the time; as well as talented, young, and dynamic players such as defenseman Viacheslav Fetisov and forwards Vladimir Krutov, Sergei Makarov and Valery Kharlamov.
In exhibitions that year, Soviet club teams had gone 5–3–1 against NHL teams, and a year earlier the Soviet national team routed the NHL all-stars 6–0 to win the Challenge Cup. In 1979–80, virtually all the top North American players were Canadians although the number of US born professional players had been on the rise throughout the 1970s. The 1980 US Olympic team featured several young players who were regarded as highly promising, and some had signed contracts to play in the National Hockey League immediately after the tournament.
Coach Herb Brooks calms his players' nerves during the game.
The Soviet and American teams were natural rivals due to decades-old Cold War disputes. In addition, President Jimmy Carter was at the time considering a U.S. boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics, to be held in Moscow, in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which began the year before. Carter eventually decided in favor of the boycott.
On February 9, the two teams met for an exhibition match in order to practice for the upcoming competition. The Soviet Union won 10–3.
In Olympic group play, the United States surprised many observers with their physical, cohesive play, starting with a 2–2 tie against Sweden and followed by a stunning 7–3 victory against a strong team from Czechoslovakia. The U.S. team finished with four wins and one draw to advance to the medal round. In the other group, the Soviets stormed through their opposition undefeated, often by grossly lopsided scores – knocking off Japan 16–0, the Netherlands 17–4, and Poland 8–1 – and easily qualified for the next round although both the Finns and the Canadian amateurs actually had the USSR on the ropes before collapsing in the final period. In the end, Sweden and Finland (who overcame a disastrous start after sensationally losing to lowly Poland in their opening game of the tournament) also qualified for the medal round after defeating Czechoslovakia and Canada, respectively.
The US and USSR prepared for the medal round in different ways. Coach Viktor Tikhonov of the Soviets rested most of his best players, preferring to let them study plays rather than actually skate. U.S. coach Herb Brooks, however, continued with his tough, confrontational style, skating "hard" practices, and berating his players for perceived weaknesses.
The day before the match, columnist Dave Anderson wrote in the New York Times, "Unless the ice melts, or unless the United States team or another team performs a miracle, as did the American squad in 1960, the Russians are expected to win the Olympic gold medal for the sixth time in the last seven tournaments."

Grand Forks Central Knocks Off Green Wave 4-3
Courtesy of Grand Forks Herald Sports
By: Brittany Brevik
In a physically grueling boys hockey game, it all comes back to the basics.
On Saturday night, Grand Forks Central ended on top in an evenly matched game in the East Grand Forks Civic Center, squeaking by Senior High 4-3.
“In one-goal games like this, it comes down to little details,” Senior High goaltender Alex Christiansen said. “And they were better at that tonight.”
Central's Brenden Gust scored the game-winner with 1 minute, 39 seconds remaining in regulation when he redirected a shot from Bryce Anderson.

Roseau Wins 152nd Meeting In Rivalry; Clips Warroad 5-2 On FOX North
By: Timothy Oshie (Publisher)
It was the 152nd meeting of these two colossal high school hockey programs. And in the end, the Roseau Rams had the early season bragging rights, again.
Roseau continued their undefeated season this time at the hands of the Warroad Warriors. The Rams displayed a balanced attacked and utilized five different goal scorers to garner the 5-2 victory.
The Rams had the early edge as Warroad adapted to the fast pace of play. Trevor George scored on a nifty back door pass from Cole Kostrzewski on Roseau's initial goal. Dustin Moser was the recipient of another crafty back door pass play from Ben Moser and Roseau carried the 2-0 lead going into the first intermission. Rams junior Aaron Ness added helpers on both, first period goals.
Roseau kept pressuring Warroad all over the ice and in the second stanza and the Rams were rewarded for the efforts. Nick Oliver and Tyler Landman each lit the lamp to give Roseau an insurmountable 4-0 cushion heading into the third period.
Warroad showed a feisty attack in the final, four minutes of play with power-play goals by Jeremy Hahn and Dane Shaugabay. But Ben Nelson blocked a Tai Larson shot and raced down the right wing and deposited an empty netter to round out the scoring with 1:11 left.
Mike Lee, who moved to 11-0-0 on the season and 23-0-0 in his career, was stellar in the pipes for Roseau while Warroad net minders Garrett Corneliusen and Jared Paquin shared duties. Corneliusen garnered the loss giving up four Roseau goals while Paquin looked very composed shutting the door on Roseau until the empty netter.
Roseau moved to 12-0-0 while the Warriors are now 10-4-0. Roseau now has the upper hand in the Mariucci Conference with wins over Moorhead and Warroad.
Anthony LaPanta and Kevin Gorg delivered a high powered broadcast from various locations in the Roseau Memorial Arena. FOX Sports utilized a Robo-Camera system since the old Memorial Arena isn't exactly television camera friendly. The broadcast was carried by the FOX Sports affiliates and was seen as far as the Middle East.
Hats off the FOX Sports for producing segments of nostalgia of Warroad (Henry Boucha feature) and Roseau (snapshots of the towns historical sites).

Zach Lehrke Surpasses 100th Point Plateau
Courtesy of the Park Rapids Enterprise
By Vance Carlson
Pete Stahnke expected Zach Lehrke to make an immediate impact as a member of the Park Rapids-Menahga boys hockey team.
“I knew Zach would have an impact right away,” said Stahnke, the Panthers’ head coach. “He could have been a dominant player as a freshman, but playing with his teammates (on the Bantams) was more important to him. He’s more concerned with winning games than with individual goals. Zach has performed over my expectations. He’s a great hockey player.”
Lehrke scored a goal in his first varsity game as a sophomore. The 5-foot-8, 170-pound forward hasn’t stopped putting the puck in the net.
Lehrke finished his first varsity season with 25 goals and 30 assists for 55 points. Those numbers rank among the best scoring seasons in school history. The 25 goals tied for fifth place, the 30 assists were the third most and the 55 points tied for third place on the school’s all-time single-season list.
An assist in the second period of the Panthers’ 7-1 win over Red Lake Falls in February made Lehrke only the seventh player in school history to score at least 100 points.
Tyler Lehrke (192 points), Darin Hafner (134 points), Levi Goeden (122 points), Pat Albee (122 points), Chris Knapp (104 points) and Eric Grewe (102 points) are the only other Park Rapids players to reach that milestone.
“We look for Zach to control the game and make things happen. We look for him to score points, either with assists or goals,” said Stahnke. “Zach is a very coachable player. He’s one of the more enjoyable kids I have ever coached. His acceleration is better than anyone I’ve ever seen and his hockey savvy is unbelievable. His biggest assets are his skating ability, his speed and his strength. He works hard in the weight room and on getting better.”
“I guess my role on the team is to be a goal scorer and get the guys going,” said Lehrke. “I set my goals high. I’d like to go on to the next level and play Juniors and then Division I hockey.”
While helping the team win is Lehrke’s main goal, Stahnke sees a promising future for his junior star once his high school playing days are over. The Park Rapids head coach predicts Lehrke will follow in his older brother’s footsteps. Tyler Lehrke played two years of Junior hockey at Green Bay before moving on to play for Bemidji State University at the Division I level this season.
“Right now he’s a great high school hockey player. Now he has to work on things that will prepare him to play at the Division I level,” said Stahnke. “He’s definitely a Division I prospect.”
