I recently heard that the hockey coach and his staff at Coon Rapids have resigned. I think that's good For Coon Rapids but it will be hard to find new coaches at this late date.

So - a good H.S. coach can't be found in our great state three months before the season starts? Is this the end? Don't worry yet, someone will step up.

There's a difference between a good high school coach, and a coach who doesn't have a job 3 months before a season starts. I agree someone will step up, but the probability of it being a good hs coach are probably slim to none.

Talked to a friend of Roo's, and it's evidently just a family situation. They wanted him home more, so he resigned. He only came back last season because they were having a little trouble finding a coach who would fit in, so he stepped in again. I don't think there's any controversy here if that's what people are trying to hint at.

Roo is a great guy and has a great family. Good luck and I am sure it is a relief to him to have this behind him.

Joe Law from St. Bernards is the new coach. Dont know to much about
the team, but from what I heard it may be a struggling year

Wow. If that's true, it's big news in Governor land as Joey was one of us (a '93 in fact). Good for him.
I don't know what he'll be walking into in CR, but I know his kids at Bernards had a lot of respect for him, and he got them to play hard - remember they pulled off "Miracle On Ice II" (

) when the Saints beat Breck last season.
He's a little bit of a hot head at times, but he's a very competitive guy, and knows his stuff, so hopefully he can get them moving in the right direction over the next couple of years.
GO CARDS!
