River of champions

[edit]

My dad was the goalie for Thief River Falls in 1955 and 1956. I couldn't imagine the devastation he endured in the 11 overtime loss he had against Minneapolis South in 1955. The following year they overcame the devastating loss by going all the way to the championship game and defeating the reigning Champs, Minneapolis Johnson for the title! They wrote a book called River of Champions about these events, in 2019 my dad gave me his copy that he got from the author and soon passed on after that. I haven't brought myself to read it yet but I feel this story could uplift another Minnesota team, like the Wild! Go wild!! 2001:48F8:3004:BC2:5110:9EB2:2AC9:5E90 (talk) 18:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
