here is a sig pic for ogie now, while we are at it how do hockey and football work toegether up north? Hand in Hand. A lot of head hockey coaches are often defensive coordnators on the football team. (Why I am not sure, probably the defensive emphasis coaches have ingrained from hockey) It used to be very true that most hockey players also played football. There was very little "football-basketball" rivalry issues betweeen the two sports. Football was dry land training for hockey, and hockey was toughness, agility, hand-eye training for football. Teams that had good football programs usually had good hockey programs and vice-versa. Success of basketball and football didn't coorelate as closely (with the exception of very small communities, even then you find a bigger coorelation between wrestling and football.) If you look at some of the most successful football/hockey schools in MN and ND, the coaches work closely together to build a successful athletic program. AND most importantly, at my school, Hockey season did not begin until the Football season was over, no exceptions! Coaches wanted to win state in both sports. |

We don't have hockey at this level of school in ND, but we have a strong relationship with wrestling program. We tell the kids that if you can do a double-leg take down in wrestling, you can tackle in football.
