Hot In The Cold This year the Falcon hockey team surprised a lot of fans and opposing teams. In what was supposed to be a rebuilding year the team finished a re- spectable 12-12 in the tough Lake Red conference. Captains Bryan Dieleman and Mark Merila each set scoring records for the school. Merila for the most career points, 51, and Dieleman for scoring the most goals in a single season with 26. Oth- er standouts included senior Mike Minor and starting freshman Jim Bode. Highlights of the season included shut- ting out Kennedy 3-0, and defeating Coo- per. In December the team went to St. Cloud to compete in a tournament. They placed second and hope to be able to go back next year. The season ended with a tough loss to Wayzata in the final 8 sec- onds of the section playoffs. Next year promises to be one of the Falcon ' s best with many returning varsity players. In goal Mike Rowan and Derek Hanson will both be back, so will defense- men Scott Alexander and Josh Byer and wings Merila and Bode, as well as many other talented players. i]; Josh Byer anticipates the face off.
