Wow, what a bunch of classless dorks! No doubt Ikola was a great coach, but he coached in Edina for cripes sake, he was handed some pretty good players year after year after year! You don't measure a coach by how many wins they got over a period of time, you measure a coach by what they did with the players they were given. That includes not only wins/losses, but development both as hockey players and men!Marty McSorely wrote:DC I agree....big deal....the record isn't broken unless you do it in equal time or less! Grosso isn't in the same field as Ik
Here's a tip of the hat to Mr. Grosso!

In my mind this does not take anything away from Ikola, but it is a tribute to Grosso's perseverance and dedication in teaching boys how to compete and grow into men. A very impressive milestone to people that care about high school hockey.
Congratulations Coach Grosso!

Re: Coach Grosso ties Ikola
Must be new to hockey or one of those people that call themselves fans of hockey, but only follow the cities teams. Grosso's been around for 45 years and the only coach Mayo has ever had. He was a graduate of the University of Minnesota and played on the same line as Albert Lea's Nystrom. Just a little background for you.WB6162 wrote:Never heard of him.clutterbuck22 wrote:With the 11-1 win last night for Mayo, Coach Grosso has tied Ikola for the most wins for a Minnesota high school head coach.
