Since you mentioned Eveleth in there I thought I would let you know how
their youth program is doing.  My son played on the Peewee A's for Sauk
Rapids (very close to St. Cloud) this past season.  We won a total of 9
games, tied 7 and lost 26; being outscored 216-97 for the season..  We play
teams like Centennial (MN state Peewee A champs) as part of our district
play.  We were in a tourney in Hibbing and we got to play Eveleth's A team.
We beat them 6-0 and played very poorly in doing so.  I talked to one of the
mothers and she said that my team should have an easy win; I told her that I
thought it would be a close game.  Guess I was wrong.

Don't think we will be hearing much from Eveleth in the coming years.

An interesting theme here is Eveleth.  All of the above players were from
there.  Several of them are in the Hall of Fame in Toronto.  In 1928-29,
the junior college there went undefeated and was the #1 ranked team in
the country playing against all the traditional (at least now) big time
college teams.  Their toughest opponent that year was the Eveleth high
school team.  From 1928-1940 the JC's record was 171-28-7.  From 1948
to1951, the Eveleth high school team (led by Mayasich) went undefeated.
Not much is heard from Eveleth these days, but they have a storied past.

The starting center on the last CC team to win the NCAA Tournament in
1957 was Bill "Red" Hay, who to my knowledge was the first college
player to make the NHL.  He played for the Black Hawks, and centered a
line with Murray Balfour and a guy named Bobby Hull on the wings.

He's currently the Executive Director of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
