That comes with the territory. It was hard (missing the CIC tournament) because those were my last high school games in Anchorage.

It's been a life-long dream for me. But I wouldn't rule hockey out.

I informed the coaching staff, and they thought I was kidding.

At state, you've got to show up and play hard. It's like March Madness in February.

This was an excellent high school game. Josh Berry and Woody Orne had great games.

He asked me how many high school games I had coached. I told him it was around 780, and he said, 'I don't know if I could even watch 780 high school games.' He asked me, 'How do you keep your wits about you?' and I told him I do a lot of fishing.
