Four years ago on Hockey Day Minnesota, the state was introduced to young Corey Wheelock. The then-13-year-old was featured on a Fox Sports North feature story that spotlighted his persistence while playing competitive hockey with a prosthetic right leg. It was a heartwarming story.

Patrick Moore has never been one to back down from a challenge. Not even when he appears as overmatched as a snake at an arm-wrestling convention.
Moore’s high school coach at Grand Rapids, Bruce LaRoque, recalled one of his first varsity games as a sophomore center – when the diminutive Moore was matched up against powerful and physical Zach Budish of Edina. Moore didn’t back down an inch, something that set him apart right away.

Of all the places that would have Ryan McDonagh recalling the emotions he felt the night his Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders played for a state hockey championship, who would have believed it could be Madison Square Garden?
Imbedded in the heart of New York City, where cabs and passersby rarely even recognize the men preparing to wear the red, white and blue sweaters of their hometown Rangers, the building is to many the Mecca of American sports.
“It’s such a special place, but it can be intimidating,” McDonagh admitted. “Fortunately, I have some memories to look back on that make it easy for me to handle.”

When Lakeville South scores a goal, there are certain times when you don’t even need to wait for the announcement to hear who lit the lamp for the Cougars.
You just know which player.
After all, Lakeville South senior Justin Kloos has been a scoring machine throughout his entire high school career, amassing 135 points (66 goals, 69 assists) in 48 games -- a 2.81 point per game average -- and that’s only his sophomore and junior year totals.

Honing his skills at the local parks and playing numerous game 7’s in neighborhood street hockey games, former Apple Valley Eagle and current Minnesota Wild defenseman Mike Lundin looks to his youth and high school experience as the cornerstone to his development that took him from high school hockey all the way to the National Hockey League.
Lundin reflected on his childhood and remembered watching North Stars and Gopher games with his father. Meanwhile, his memory of high school hockey stretches back even further as he recalled watching the State High School Hockey Tournament while at day care.
It is the exposure to the game from his father and competitive nature of hockey that drew the fire to play hockey from Lundin that still burns in him today.
