Cap Off The High School Hockey Season With a Great Book
Scarlet Ice, the story of John Janavaras and his Mankato West Scarlets Hockey team, is an Amazon.com best seller.

Too Many Mentions of An Unmentionable Topic
My only criticism of Lou's commentary during the AA championship game was the repeated references to spinal cord injuries.

One of the winner bracket quarters that ended up being a one goal game resulted from a garbage goal scored with eight or nine seconds left in regulation. The Edina-BSM game was probably the tournament's b...

Tournament Lacked Close Games
I don't think this year's tourney was as good as we have seen. There was only one overtime game in winner bracket games; and a fair number of games that were over in the second period. Maybe I expected too much.

Keep The Season Going By Reading Scarlet Ice
Scarlet Ice reached No. 1 on Amazon.com this week among hockey books. Great post-season reading about a Minnesota high school hockey team that was up against it all year, and a team that suffered tragedy worse that BSM.

Mankato East vs. West tonight, Jan. 12, 2012
West should get back on the winning track tonight, though when these two cross-city rivals meet up, anything can happen. A Cougars win tonight would make their season.
