OK... I know from my readings here that there are alot of Broncos on this Forum. So I want to know if these Broncos can tell me about all the Who's Who in MN hockey that have connections to the Falls, i.e. Pat Michelletti spent his childhood there, Jaime Langenbrunner grew up in the Falls, Dave Spehar has relatives in the Falls, And Matt and Mark Cullen's Father is from the Falls .

Buzzy Christiansen, best HS hockey coach of all time. He won the HS state championship every year he coached, I think.
