Speaking of which, where are are these athletic skill position players in the winter? This statement isn't implying their basketball team wasn't and won't be good cause it obviously is, but the only football players I remember are Jiskra and Hanson. Do the rest play hockey?

Sorry to give you a hard time, but sort of a hockey town? Isn't that kind of an understatement? Next to the Grand Forks schools, Grafton has the most state titles and second most state tournament appearances with 45 (GF Central has 46). Heck, hockey is the reason Grafton has never been a football "power" as most hockey players there never wanted to get hurt during the football season.

If you don't follow hockey closely, I don't think you realize how many players it takes to make up a competative hockey team. At any given time there are only 6 players on the ice, but it takes at least 14 players who can actually give you quality minutes on the ice. 3 forward lines of 3 guys each (9 forwards), 2 defensive lines of 2 guys (4 defensemen) and a goalie. I guess what I'm saying is that a starting basketball team has 5 guys, but a starting hockey team actually has 14 guys (not 6). It takes a lot of athletes to run a hockey program.

Your right, I don't follow hockey that closely, and I figured it'd take no more than 10, but now that you break it down, it makes sense. I figured that's where they all went seeing as how hockey isn't much of a game for the large man.
