James Tucker plays D for Shattuck's U-14 team. They lost in the semi-finals to the eventual winner, which was Little Ceasers out ot Michigan. He's a solid player - racking up something like 20 assists and a couple of goals over 40 games.
On the ladies side, two MN teams faced each other in the U-19 National Championship game: Tradition Vegas, which is basically an all-star team of MN high-school players (I don't know much about them), vs Shattuck-St. Mary’s. The game went to overtime, with Tradition Vegas (MN) taking a 4-3 win...
Kudos to Ford for stepping up. Do the players get a Ford Truck to drive during the season? It's pretty common for Texas players to get cars, with Lamborghini Austin being a big sponsor.
Shattuck U-18 wins the National Championship, coming from behind to beat the Boston Jr. Eagles 5-3. In an incredible show of bad sportsmanship, the Eagles picked up seven penalties for fighting in the last 28 seconds of the game. That's seven out of a total of fourteen skaters - so half their...

Shattuck's top Team, which is ranked third in the nation, has made it to the round of eight in the national championships and arguably has the easiest path to the finals. The games are being played this week in Las Vegas, and you can watch them by going to...
For the playoffs (not regular season), private schools should have their own class and not compete with public schools. Kudo's to Shattuck for doing the right thing.
Three-quarters of playing defense kept us in the game until we finally got some offense going in the fourth...
... that can't happen in the second round. We'll need to hit some shots early.
I've been a bit involved in para-apline events (helping set safety nets and such), which are pretty amazing. This is the first time I watched an entire sled hockey game. Gotta say I was impressed. Having both a left and right forehand shot opens up the ice in different ways.
We seem to always have a snowstorm during the boy's HS tourney - this year we outmaneuvered Mother Nature....
.... This move means the tourney is scheduled immediately after instead of before most of the school's spring breaks. I wonder how many families with players in the tournament have...
Shattuck, Shattuck, Shattuck.
Every hockey team that won a medal had at least one Shattuck player on their roster. If you want to win an Olympic hockey medal, you need Shattuck players in your lineup.
Every hockey team that won a medal in the Olympics had a Shattuck player on its roster. That's six teams, and everyone went through Shattuck to fill their roster. Five in the men's gold medal game (including Sidney) and three in the women's gold medal game.
