Haha...he has some amazing one liners that's for sure.  I think he'd be excellent on PSP or even state tournament coverage.  He's got a comment for everything.

My favorite one was when they had a kid with diabetes that had a service dog with him that was trained to let the kid know when his blood sugar reached a dangerous level.  The kid was a senior and it was getting towards the end of the year, and in true Ole form, "yeah that kid graduates this year.....man am I gonna miss the dog."

This post isn't about 2067-27 HS hockey but rather several years earlier...I was looking at some old North Dakota high school athletic info from 1976-77 and noticed that there were co-champions in hockey. Apparently there were several OTs and they decided to name co-champs (Central and Red River, I believe). Anyone remember the details? Anyone attend the game? Anyone play in the game? 😀

I wasn't there but my dad went out to watch after the second OT. They called it after 5 (?) OTs. It was Central and RR.

A 17-year-old in 2067 will be born around 2050, to parents likely born between 2020 and 2030.  And he will still refer to UND as "the Sioux."     #funwithtypos

Was there as I was on the first Blue Jay team to make state that year. Central beat us 7-1 in the quarterfinals. That championship was nuts. Goalies absolutely stood on their heads. 8 overtime’s and they said that’s enough. Even made a mention in Sports Illustrated

I believe Neil Whalen, who was the goalie for Central is the father of Lindsay Whalen. I imagine being competitive, a lot of the players from each team wanted to keep playing, but in retrospect, it is, and will probably remain the most memorable state championship game because of circumstances which will probably never happen again.  I’m sure it is a talking point if any of the guys from the opposing teams see each other.
