Season Outlook: This season will be one to remember as it is a brand new Co-op between Red Wing and Zumbrota-Mazeppa. On a season that should be a rebuilding year for the Wingers, we bring in a whole new crop of players from Zumbrota-Mazeppa that puts a big question mark on how things will go this year. The Wingers brin back 3 of their top 4 defensemen from last year and plan on leaning on that experience throughout the year. The Wingers plan on improving on their 8th place finish in the Big 9 conference as well as their 8th place seed in section 1A from last year.

Season Outlook: Many of our returners, who are stepping into larger roles this season, have an aspect to their game

that has not been as prevalent in recent years of Tiger hockey, speed. The speed of the returners along with their compete, physicality, and willingness to hold each other accountable will be the foundation of Tiger hockey this year. Many of our players have not yet experienced their new roles, so the growth of our players will be essential to the success of the team.

Season Outlook: Heading into the season the expectations for the Hawks, as always, are high as they look to repeat as State Champions in 2023. Coming off a tremendous season that saw the Hawks rack up 29 wins on their way to the school’s 4th State Championship. The Hawks will look to reload with extremely talented, and experienced players from last season’s Championship team, such as Kade Kohanski (22-40-62), Wyatt Carlson (18-14-32), Dallas Vieau (17-13-30), George Peterson (10-13-23), Matt Kauppinen (4-8-12) and Josh Kauppinen (5-3-8). Upperclassmen such as Nolan Barker, Will Esterbrooks, Drew Nelson, Sam Swenson, and others will look to give the Hawks their usual depth. River Freeman was one of the best bantams in the state last season, and Henry Peterson and Ford Skytta also come up to high school and look to give the Hawks some formidable young talent to bolster the lineup. The Hawks, who pride themselves on great team D, allowing just 1.35 goals against last season, will once again be solid in the pipes as they return two veteran goaltenders, senior Garron Opsahl (9-0 - 0.95GAA - .97SV%) set two MSHSL shutout records last season, and junior Dane Callaway (20 -2 - 1.47GAA - .919sv%) who backstopped the Hawks Championship run only giving up 4 goals in six games throughout the postseason. Hermantown has a tried and true formula of stellar team D, a tenacious, puck-owning, forecheck, and relentless pressure in all zones of the rink, if the Hawks are to repeat in 2023 you can rest assured it’s this recipe for success that again took them to the top.

Season Outlook: The Laker’s have been in a massive rebuild for the last 3 seasons under their current coaching staff, making noticeable improvements year after year. While changing their culture, the way they play, and becoming extremely active in their community, they finally have a team that feels like a real contender. Loaded with senior returners and coming off of a 19 win season, the Lakers feel they can contend for a section championship in Section 8A. The Lakers found themselves as a 3 seed heading into the section playoffs last season, only to fall to Thief River Falls in the semi-finals. If the Lakers want to complete that next step in their program, they will have to set their sites on reaching a Section Final this season.
