 Last year, there were 150 boys hockey teams in the state of Minnesota. Winning just one game, Bagley-Fauston, was ranked dead last. But the Flyers have had a major turnaround this year and have something to prove. We're pretty proud right now and we're usually the underdogs now and that's how we want to keep it the rest of the season. The Flyers began the year as major underdogs, but they won't remain that way for long. Winning three of their first six games and picking up some newfound confidence. We have a chance to win pretty much every game we play and that's kind of the difference. Guys are going in the game still and good about themselves and it showed so far this year. One of those wins came against Lake of the Woods, who the Flyers last beat when the current varsity players were back in Peewees. We fought really well, we came out and just knew it was going to be a dogfight so we got after them. Sitting at second place in the state with 15 goals on the year, one of the few things that's been able to slow down Griffin Brovold is the illness that he missed practice with today, but his teammates spoke highly of his skills and contributions that he's made this season. We worked pretty good with him, he's a really good leader, he's a really good friend. Ever since I knew him, he was just one hell of a player. Offensively, he's so gifted and this year he's just taken it to another level. When he gets the puck, you just never know if every time he could score. Bradley Fauston has gained more than just some wins this year. They've earned pride in their team and encouragement from their community. Every home game we usually have this whole place packed. Last year we didn't really have that much, just a couple of parents. We're pretty proud right now and looking forward to see how the rest of the season is going to go. Now just to once again highlight the turnaround they've had. The three wins the teams they've beaten, last year they went 0-6 against them. The goal differential was 55-8. So these aren't pushovers that they're taking care of.
