The image of my grandmother is blurred in my memory. She was short, with thick glasses, and her hair was wrapped in something that resembled mosquito netting.
I don’t recall her ever smiling and certainly can’t remember a single laugh. She frightened me—not with cruelty or meanness, but with her silence.

It has been kind of a roller-coaster ride all month as we’ve battled in and out of first place in the SIJHL with three other teams.

This past week saw us take a hard-fought, emotional victory, beating Duluth 7-1 to start off the week.
We honoured our late assistant coach, Bob Mainville, with a brief ceremony prior to the game and the team played one of our better offensive games in recent memory.

Summer camp is done and now we can look forward to gearing up for the main one in August.
We had a good showing, with two teams taking part in four scrimmage sessions all last weekend at Bronco Arena over in International Falls.
We invited back 18 players to our main training camp, and offered two potential players—both defencemen—a chance to sign with the team.
