For the December 2019 issue of Minnesota Hockey Journal, I wrote the cover story on the foundation behind Duluth's recent success. From Duluth being home to the only outdoor hockey association in North America to Hermantown's run of success at the beginning of the decade to the Bulldogs winning the past two men's hockey national championships on the strength of local talent, the 2010s have seen highs for the Twin Ports.
I spoke with a variety of people for the feature, including Minnesota Duluth head coach Scott Sandelin, Hermantown head coach Patrick Andrews, and the next generation of players in current Bulldog Dylan Samberg and future Bulldog Blake Biondi (both from Hermantown).
You can read the feature here or pick up a Minnesota Hockey Journal at your nearest Minnesota rink. It's a good read and I had to leave several enjoyable tidbits on the cutting room floor that hopefully can see the light of day in another feature.
