 Coming off their first 21 season since 2013 the Brainerd Boys hockey team has high hopes for the year ahead of them. Sports reporter Anthony Scott has more on the Warriors and four players in particular that have a special connection. From day one of the season the Brainerd Boys hockey team has had one goal in mind to make history. I think we're all trying to leave it out there trying to make history kind of for our program because we've never been in the state tournament. There's not any doubt that the focus here is to get to the turn. Now that I'm a senior it's our top priority to make it to state as a team. The team is two in one so far and although the team had nine goals last night against Fergus Falls none of them came on the power play. Something that coach Dave Oz wants to improve on. If we can get that up to around 40 all the teams that I've had that have made it to the tournament other than one have been up in that area and it's you're deadly. Many teams say they have good chemistry but no one can compare to the chemistry the Warriors have. Three triplets Gavin Wyatt and Riley along with their younger brother West and Andries are on the starting line for Brainerd. We'll cherish it for years to come after this being able to play with all of our brothers. It's really fun it's awesome just to have that close up bond with these guys. If Brainerd goes down a man it will be all Andries's on deck for the penalty kill. It's pretty cool when we go out on the penalty kill all this four out there and it's pretty cool to all be together out there. This weekend we will learn a lot about the Warriors as they welcome in three teams from across the state for the Brainerd tournament. Yeah I agree two tough mashups this weekend. I think people are gonna really find out what we're made of. It's an important weekend for us to expose people to that and show people that we've got a pretty exciting thing going here and you know we're gonna be fun to watch all year long.
