It was such an incredible season for this year’s Bemidji State women’s hockey team. The end of the year banquet was one I won’t forget. There are so many great memories from this past year as you will see in the 3 part highlight video I produced. Thanks to volunteer coach Casie Hanson for providing the video and many other people who provided pictures and inspiration for the finished product.
Congratulations EJ, Annie & Codes on four awesome years at Bemidji State! It has been a such a pleasure announcing your hockey games. I am blessed to have had the chance to get to know each of you and watch you grow with the program. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Good luck to you in your future endeavors.
