I've wanted to write about the growing number of recent college alums returning to Minnesota and becoming high school girl's hockey head coaches.
It's been a treat to see the latest generation of players be able to inspire the next. There's a changing of the guard, which gets discussed in the feature. Of the eight players to graduate Minnesota last season, five are coaching high school hockey in one form or another. For this feature, I spoke with two - Taylor Williamson (Gophers/Wayzata) and Jackie Pieper (Gophers & Chaska/Chanhassen), along with two older alums in their first season as head coach in Paige Haley (Gophers/Northfield) and Emma Stauber (UMD & alma mater Hermantown/Proctor).
The feature is part of Minnesota Hockey Journal's February issue, which can be found at hockey rinks across the state or below online.
