4.10 Losing Interest

[tzill]

Growing up in Minnesota, you could tell who played hockey (not everyone in the twin cities did, but almost everyone in rural MN did) by noticing that the 10-year-olds had no front teeth. Those were the days before helmets or mouth guards. Since my dad taught at the UofM, my brother and I would often go skating at Williams Arena where the Gophers played hockey. It was a wonderful place. Me? I stuck to hoops. It was also pretty cool that in the 60's and 70's, the state hockey tournament was not segregated by school size. There was always some team from a dinky town in the Iron Range that would come in as a Cinderella team and sometimes won the whole thing. I recall the 1969 championship, the Warroad team lost in OT to Edina (the wealthy suburban school).
