Scarlet Ice, the story of John Janavaras and his Mankato West Scarlets Hockey team, is an Amazon.com best seller. The nonfiction story is vividly written and it takes readers through the Scarlets 1994-95 season, a season in which they lost sophomore John Janavaras to a meningitis outbreak in early F...

John Mayasich was the smoothest high school hockey player Herb Brooks said he ever saw.

My only criticism of Lou's commentary during the AA championship game was the repeated references to spinal cord injuries. Please know that I wish no one would ever have to suffer from such an injury, and my heart and admiration goes out to people who live impaired lives. But with the Jablonski boy...

The Winner's Bracket games were void of close games. Read the original post closely my friend. 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...

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.

On Wednesday, Scarlet Ice pushed past the Sports Illustrated brand to reach No. 1 among hockey titles on Amazon.com. Scarlet Ice is the story of the 1994-95 Mankato West Scarlets hockey team, and John Janavaras, a 15-year-old sophomore on the team who tragically died during a meningitis outbreak th...

Not a massacre, really, but I'll take Virginia in OT.

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.

Good to see Mankato East get a W last week vs. Austin 6-5.

I add my wishes for a full recovery for Mr. Grosso. Mr. Grosso did an interview in the forthcoming book, "Scarlet Ice" published by Two Harbors Press. The book's release date is Dec. 20 (visit Scarletice.com). I got an advance copy of Scarlet Ice and this is a footnote from the book: Mayo...

Regarding Eric Carlson, formerly of the Albert Lea Tigers, and those past and future who leave school early. I will never understand why high school players leave their friends and classmates to get an early jump into Juniors. Playing Junior hockey and forfeiting one or two years of high school has ...

Former Mankato West head coach Mike Carroll recently read Scarlet Ice: "Hi Roger, I read the book, picked it up at 9:30 Wednesday, couldn't put it down. I thought you did a very good job capturing the feelings of the kids and parents dealing with all the issues of their respective teams, school...

One player not on the Hockey Hub list that deserves at least honorable mention is Ron Beck, who tended net for the International Falls Broncos during their first power trip in the mid-1960s. Beck played goalie during a three year stint and never lost a game for the Broncos dynasty. All-state and All...
