Coaches of the year and section coaches of the year

[19962001]

Anyone know the answer to this one...I know the MGHCA usually names them at their state tourney meeting...anyone know the results? <p></p><i></i>

[ghshockeyfan]

I think they were posted on here before... I'll have to search a bit... <p></p><i></i>

[Rocketwrister]

I haven't seen these posted either. Wondering if there was a press release, or someone who was there could fill us all in. <p>www.rebelhockey.com</p><i></i>

[ghshockeyfan]

I know that Moose Lake's Coach, Lance Horvat, is Section 2A Head Coach of the year. Not sure on any others at this point in time, but obvioulsy the State Coaches of the Year for each class must have won their respective section awards as well. <p></p><i></i>

[19962001]

That an interesting pick for section 2A...what about Totino Grace Coach or Mound's coach <p></p><i></i>

[19962001]

This would be my guess<br><br>Here are my guesses<br><br>1A Gullickson- New Prague<br>2A Totino Grace Coach ???<br>3A Scott Knutson Warroad<br>4A Keith Revels Farmington or Palmquist SSP<br><br>COY for Class A knutson from Warroad<br><br>1AA Roch Mayo/Loudres coach Gamble??<br>2AA Sertich from Roseville or Gutterman St Paul Blades ??<br>3AA Scheid from Stillwater<br>4AA Potter from Coon Rapids<br>5AA Darwitz from Eagan<br>6AA EP's Coach Morris or Edina Stephans??<br>7AA Barthodi Cloquet<br>8AA Menne Bemidji <p></p><i></i>

"Success" in coaching has many different meanings to different people. I think that this is also reflected in some award winners being selected - philosophical differences in the meaning of success...<br><br>1) Some coaches win these awards for getting the most (or a lot) out of the talent they have.<br><br>2) Some coaches win these awards for winning and/or being well respected and/or being active in the coaches assn.<br><br>These two don't always coincide, and different sections of coaches sometimes employ different philosophies too.<br><br>I believe coaching is about #1. <p></p><i></i>

[Rocketwrister]

I agree with you GHS. First option in my opinion. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>www.rebelhockey.com</p><i></i>

Potter from Coon Rapids was Coach of the Year for AA Schools. <p></p><i></i>

[ghshockeyfan]

Very deserving. <p></p><i></i>

[Rocketwrister]

I'm sure someone could e-mail Tim Morris and ask him, since he is the exe-secretary of MGHCA. I'm kind of shocked nothing is on the their website about it. <p>www.rebelhockey.com</p><i></i>

Can someone post the boys coaches of the year at the other message board? <p>"Dream as if you'll live forever; Live as if you'll die today." --James Dean</p><i></i>

[ghshockeyfan]

I know the boys were in the Pioneer Press recently... I'll look...<br><br>Also, I think the girls list was in LPH recently???

[falkster09]

Gullickson of New Prague was the head coach of the year and Tom Falk was the assistant coach of the year in section 1A. Pretty deserving picks I would say. <p>Falkster</p><i></i>

[ghshockeyfan]

Agreed <p></p><i></i>

[HOT SHOT]

FALKSTER09.<br><br><br> THATS UNCLE TOM TO YOU. <p></p><i></i>

[stphockey]

I heard the father and son duo with the Blades - Tom and Todd Gutterman swept section 2AA. Tom was voted coach of the year for 2AA and Todd recieved the section 2AA asst. coach of the year as well as the asst. coach of the year for the state. Congrats! <p></p><i></i>

[ghshockeyfan]

The Blades had an outstanding season this year!<br><br>Congrats to Tom & Todd! <p></p><i></i>

[Metrolink]

How about Alexandria's coach Wehrman bringing them to the State Tourney? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p100.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... trolink</A> at: 4/15/06 5:18 pm<br></i>

It is sad to see that 5AA did not recognize Tom Osiecki as the section coach of the year. He has done so much for G HS hockey. You would think that in his last season, after 41 years of coaching, that he should have received the honor. His team did also have a great season. Too bad. I guess another missed opportunity to do it the right way, but the girl's coaches assoc. missed the boat again. <p></p><i></i>

[mnhock]

Yes Osiecki has done tons for the high school game, mostly on the boys side though. Great jog with the Blaze this past year, so I can somewhat agree with you on that one. But there are criteria that the coaches association look for, did he meet those?? <p></p><i></i>

[puckhog]

Coach O was one of the pioneers of the girls game. He help start the coaches association. I am positive that he met all of the criteria. The mistake, I believe, was his. He did not let anyone know that he was retiring. I don't think he wanted the attention. <p></p><i></i>

[buttercupbell]

Anyone know anything about any of the northern MN coaches? Like Hibbing, Warroad, Roseau or Int'l Falls...... any input there? <p></p><i></i>

[Rocketwrister]

Buttercup-<br><br>What do you want to know about them?<br><br>The old Warroad coach Scott Knutson won the section 3A coach of the year award.<br><br>Not sure what your looking for as for information. <p>www.rebelhockey.com</p><i></i>
