One thing I recognized early was the tradition of outstanding Eveleth goaltenders.  At the Hippodrome, I saw the big photo of Oscar Almquist, who had been an All-American at St. Mary’s in Winona and later became one of the great high school coaches at Roseau.  At the other end of the rink was a big picture of Mike Karakas, when he was playing for the Chicago Blackhawks.  Then there were the photos of Frankie Brimsek, who was a star for the Boston Bruins and one of the best players in the NHL and Sam LoPresti, who played for the Blackhawks.  We were all aware that both Karakas and Brimsek has been NHL Rookies of the Year.  Can you imagine that Eveleth High School had a ten-year period when their starting goalies were Karakas, Brimsek, and LoPresti from 1926-1935?

Goaltending in my era was so different. It was just about playing the angles.  We never did the V-drop, we had never even heard of it.  If you were a good skater, you could move up and back and keep the best angle.  Despite what a lot of people used to think, you wanted to have one of your better skaters in net because you had to be so good on your edges.  It was weird but a lot of kids around my age played goalie in their boots so I had a big advantage over them.  Once I started playing a lot, the other kids told me I was good and my confidence was strong.

As much as we all liked hockey, we played just about every sport imaginable in our neighborhood.  We had a close-knit group of boys who did everything together and it seemed like just about everybody participated, no matter what their skill level was.  Without all the technology of today and in the midst of a Depression, we were fortunate to just have each other to hang around with and do active things all the time.

Basically, we lived outside with our buddies. Nobody every seemed to be inside – there was radio but no television and let’s face it, there just wasn’t a lot of room in our homes, either.  Our parents gave us a lot of freedom.  We never missed any meals and we had to be home by a certain hour but we were in the safety of other kids and our parents didn’t worry about us.  We not only played at the rinks and playgrounds but on the streets and in the alleys.

Hockey was the favorite sport of most of us but we played a ton of outside basketball on rims attached to garages, playing 21 and four-horses.  We played baseball and football at various places around town.  We just went from activity to the other, improvising as we went.  Bocce ball and horseshoes; you name it, we played it.  It was competitive but not mean-spirited and this was how we climbed the social ladder. You name it and we played it – croquet, softball, golf, tetherball and many others.

Eveleth had a good recreation department and one summer, they employed Cliff Thompson, the high school and junior college hockey coach, up at the ballpark. We grew to learn that he was a fantastic baseball coach but as hockey players, when we found out he was going to be up there, we just flocked to the place.  Myself and the others idolized the guy.  On Saturday morning at the Hippodrome, when we would see him up in the stands watching, let me tell you the play would pick up because we wanted to impress him and play for him some day.  Each week someone would whisper, “Hey, Coach Thompson is here” and things really got rolling.  There was no question that we played harder when he was there and he showed up every week. We wondered if he was picking his team for five or six years down the road.

While we had our disagreements when we played our sports and games, we settled our own problems and things would always get back to normal.  I guess that’s how we learned how to manage things.  It was great for teaching us creativity and how to be leaders.  As a kid, everybody seemed to have a nickname and mine wasn’t real original.   It was simply… “IKE”.

With my brother Roy playing at Colorado College, I was already thinking about going to college and playing at that level and becoming a physical education instructor and coach.  It wasn’t a tough decision when I was offered the chance to play with Coach Thompson’s club.  I figured I would have a heckuva better chance getting a hockey scholarship than a band scholarship.

Half of the title team from 1945 was back to defend the state title in 1945-46; guys like Ronnie Martinson, Andy Gambucci, Bice Ventrucci and Milan Begich.  There were only 11 players on the first state title team and we had just 10 players and myself on that year’s squad.  At 5’4″ and 100 pounds, I was not an imposing figure in the net as a 13-year-old and players could shoot over my shoulder and hit the corner.  However, I wasn’t intimidated by the older players because I had played shinny with them for years and knew them well. Plus, they were good about not firing the puck at my head.

As for practices, in those days, it consisted almost entirely of scrimmaging. There was very little drill work or concentration on fundamentals.  Coach Thompson, like most coaches of that era, was never on skates but on the bench with his boots on.  Actually, I never saw Cliff ever skate, not once!  Coach never talked to me about goaltending, not once in the five years I played for him.  I noticed that he would call the forwards or defensemen over for some short words of advice but it was almost always just scrimmaging.

Ronnie Drobnick, of course, was the senior goalie and was expected to play all the games.  He never did give me any special treatment or tutoring, either, but I just watched what he did and tried to emulate him and all the other great goalies I had seen play in Eveleth.  Ronnie got yellow jaundice and was out for about three weeks in the middle of the season and I was thrust in the goal as an 8th-grader.  In those four games, we won three games with ease and tied Roseau 3-3.  Ronnie came back to finish the season and I didn’t even get to go with the team to the state tournament, but it really didn’t bother me.  Most teams didn’t have a backup goalie in those days.  I didn’t even earn a letter for that year.

Dialed to WEVE, our local radio station, I listened to us compete in the state tournament.  We lost to Rochester 2-1 in the semifinals and then beat St. Paul Johnson to take third.  Ron Martinson later told me when we were at Michigan that some of the guys weren’t following training rules and he didn’t think they were serious enough.

My freshman year, we beat Hibbing 5-3 in the region finals to make it to the 1947 tourney.  It was just the second time I had ever been to the Twin Cities.  To see the big buildings and all the hotels and restaurants, it was an eye-full. The largest building in Eveleth was the Park Hotel and that was three stories. We spent a lot of time just going up and down the elevators at the St. Paul Hotel, which was real close to the St. Paul Auditorium rink.  At that time, they had elevator operators and we drove them crazy with our requests.  One hotel even had an escalator and we would be running up the down escalator and down the up escalator like a bunch of fools. We worried more about how to order off a menu than we did playing the games.  Hockey was in our comfort zone.  One funny thing that happened was a photographer took a picture of me, all 100 pounds, in a dresser drawer in our hotel room with a caption that read…”WEE WILLARD” and it was in the papers the next day.

The St. Paul Auditorium had artificial ice and it was the first time I had played on that surface.  The ice surface was very dark and it was difficult to see the puck.  There were two locker rooms but otherwise, they just had a makeshift set-up with curtains for the teams that were dressing for the next game.  It was pretty “Mickey Mouse”, really.  With smoking permitted in the lobbies and corridors, there was a constant cloud of smoke that permeated the rink, too.

We had just 11 players on that entire 1947 team and our juniors were the key to our club.   We easily downed Willmar 6-0 in my first game at state and my brother Earl scored a goal and had an assist in that game. Next up was Roseau, the pre-tournament favorite, in the semis.  Roseau was led by Rube Bjorkman and they had a good team and had beaten us at Eveleth during the season.  Bjorkman wore those big goggles but he was an outstanding player and, of course, would go on to star with the Gophers and later the U.S. Nationals and Olympic teams.  He also coached at Greenway and then at R.P.I. and North Dakota.

Sure enough, Bjorkman beat me three times to lead the Rams to a 4-1 win. We played pretty well but they were just too much. In the finals, Roseau got upset by St. Paul Johnson.  Prior to the title game, we played Minneapolis West in the third-place game.  John Matchefts, one of my best buddies, scored twice but a guy named Kevin Farley notched a hat trick and we lost 5-3.  It would be the last time Eveleth High School would lose a game until the 1952 season.  Eventually, the winning streak would reach 78 games. That record will likely never be broken, though International Falls in the 1960’s and Bloomington Jefferson in the 1990’s both took a crack at it.

Open division: Greenway 6, Minneapolis 3.

Grant Troumbly scored a hat trick to lead Greenway, of Coleraine, Minn., to the Schwan Cup open division championship. Troumbly opened the scoring at 4:42 of the second period. Dylan Sundquist added a second goal just 13 seconds later, and the Raiders jumped to a 2-0 lead.

Minneapolis tied the game 2-2 later in the second period on goals by Max Kjome and Jake Erickson, before Troumbly’s second goal of the game put Greenway back on top 3-2 at the second intermission.

In the final period, Bay Zuehlke put the Raiders ahead by two goals again, and they never let Minneapolis closer than a single goal. A late Taylor Lantz goal and a Troumbly empty netter with just one second remaining gave Greenway its final 6-3 win.

Bronze division: Anoka 7, Bloomington Kennedy 2.

Anoka spread their seven goals around to seven different players as the Tornadoes dominated Bloomington Kennedy 7-2 to win the bronze division championship.

Jared Wilber put Anoka on top at 1:21 of the first period. Grant Johnson netted the equalizer for Kennedy four minutes later. But then Anoka pulled away, with goals coming from Carter Perry, Michael Talbot, Hunter Wanous, IsaacJohnson, Reese Grailer and Taylor O’Neill.

Anoka outshot Kennedy 48-26.

Silver division: Rosemount 3, Mahtomedi 2 (overtime).

Grant Horsager scored on a solo goal rush 1:01 into the overtime period to give Rosemount a 3-2 victory in the silver division championship game.

In an evenly played, tight game, it was fitting the game went to overtime. Shots were nearly equal, 26-25 in favor of Rosemount, as were quality offensive chances.

Luke Posner scored both Mahtomedi goals, both in the second period. Peyton Norder scored in the first period for Rosemount for an early lead. Then after falling behind in the second period, Brendan Olson scored the Irish’s tying goal at 4:22. Regulation ended at 2-2, before Horsager’s extra-time winner.

Gold division: Eden Prairie 4, Minnetonka 3.

Casey Mittelstadt scored twice with Cole Lawrence and Michael Graham added goals as Eden Prairie raced to a 4-1 lead at the 3:44 mark of the third period. Then Minnetonka stepped up the pace and staged a furious comeback.

Brendan Ryan scored twice. His first goal narrowed the gap to two goals at 5:58 of the period, followed by another goal at 10:15 to cut the lead to one. But that was a close as they would get.

Eden Prairie won their first Schwan Cup championship.

From the classic hockey venues we visited,

In January, Elk River hosts Hockey Day Minnesota

 and saying good bye to the historic Coliseum,

Our story begins with coaching.

We start the games with the drop of the puck.

With more coaching,

                                      As the teams compete with  all the battles on the ice.

                The teams move the puck to get  the shot,

only to see some great saves,

with some shots that find the back of the net.

We follow that with the post goal celebration,

As we capture  the incredible joy  of celebrating a championship with the team.

Edina 2014 State 2A Champs

And see the agony of defeat,

As we end, hoisting the championship trophy,

and taking  the team photo capturing the championship season.  We had the best seat in the house, and were just glad to be there, as 2014 was a great year for Minnesota hockey.

State Champs!  .

DULUTH—While the Section 7A semifinal game between Duluth Marshall and Hermantown started out as a competitive one, the Hawks quickly took over for a decisive 6-2 over the Hilltoppers on Wednesday night at AMSOIL Arena in Duluth.

It marks the second straight season the Hawks have eliminate the Hilltoppers, having ousted Marshall from the state tournament a year ago in the Class A state quarterfinal when coach Bruce Plante’s Hawks qualified in Section 5A. Hermantown rolled through Section 7A, outscoring its opponents—International Falls and Duluth Denfeld being the others—by a combined 21-3.

Hermantown’s top line, consisting of Nate Pionk, Scott Wasbotten and Ryan Kero, crashed the net at 2:29 of the first and Pionk potted a Wasbotten rebound for his first goal of the night to take an early lead.

Marshall fought back with a goal of its own, however, less than four minutes later. Hilltoppers forward Luke Pavelich took advantage of a wide rebound from just inside the left circle for a backhanded goal.

The rapid-fire scoring did not end there as the Hawks would add another, Pionk’s second goal of the game, all within eight minutes of the opening faceoff. A third Hermantown goal would be added before the period ended, this time by Wasbotten.

“We knew Marshall was a good team,” Pionk said. “Every game was tough and they battled, everyone battles in this section. We knew we’d have to bring it in this section, the compete level is so high.”

The second period saw more even exchange of chances early, with both Marshall and Hermantown creating opportunities for themselves. Marshall struck first in the period, taking advantage of a weird bounce of its own nine minutes into the frame. Jon Hansen beamed a puck in from the point that deflected in over Hawk goaltender Adam Smith’s shoulder.

Smith quickly redeemed himself with a big save seconds later and was lights out from that point on, finishing with 22 saves.

Hermantown was not done with the scoring however as Pionk would complete his hat trick while Kero added a goal of his own.

Duluth Marshall did a much better job of controlling the Hermantown offense in the third period, allowing just one shot on goal through the first ten minutes of the stanza and only four overall in the third. The Hilltoppers had a strong offensive surge in the last dozen minutes of the game, but were unable to convert.

Adding insult to injury, Hermantown’s Kero added an empty net goal as time expired for a final score of 6-2 to advance on to the state quarterfinals.

“It feels great, it’s amazing,” Pionk said. “To win here in Duluth in front of all these people, I’m pumped.”

Open division: Luverne 3, Bloomington Kennedy 1.

Bronze division: Rogers 4, Champlin Park 3.

Jacob Walker had two goals including the game winner at 15:12 of the third period as Rogers edged Champlin Park in a close game.  Nate Weber also had a big game for Rogers, with a goal and two assists.

Silver division: Eastview 3, Centennial 1.

Eastview broke open a tight 1-1 tie game with two goals within a four-minute span of the third period to beat Centennial 3-1 for the silver division championship. Cole McDevitt scored twice for Eastview, and Tommy Hutsell scored the game winning goal for the Lightning.

Gold division: Edina 4, Hill-Murray 2.

Edina’s Garrett Wait scored the game winning goal at 1:13 of the third period, breaking open a 2-2 game that was a tight as the score. Matt Masterman and Casey Dornbach tallied the other two goals for Edina. Josh Frech scored both Hill-Murray goals. Dylan Malmquist scored on an empty net with just one second left in the game, right after Edina successfully killed a Hill-Murray power play to secure the victory. It was Edina’s second Schwan Cup championship; the first came in 2008.
