I suggest that you make an appointment with Mernie McHockey. His secret is to have the kids skate about 2 hours a day up and down the ice learning through repetition. If you spend money on each and every clinic he offers your son will become a solid player. You can only hope that some day your sons...

Zach Budish out

Edina Hornet star, Zach Budish, injured his knee in a football game this week. He's scheduled to have surgery on his ACL in a few weeks and could be out for four months. Not good news for Hornet hockey fans. Or Zach Budish, for that matter. Hope he has a speedy recovery!
