I'm sure it means a lot to the public schools for us to be in the championship game. But that's not something we were thinking about. We did this for our community. Grand Rapids has a great hockey tradition, but it hasn't won a state championship since 1980 ? isn't that when it was? ? and we'd like to give the town another championship this year. |
It's pretty much what the heart of the northern teams was back then -- Rapids and Roseau. |
We played sound defense and limited their shots to the outside and didn't let them use their speed. |
