With an 11-0 victory against Prairie Centre on Monday night in St. Cloud, first-year Northern Lakes coach Mike Randolph set the record for most career victories as a high school boys hockey coach with 708.
Eight grandchildren from four children plus one on the way all made the trip to the Municipal Athletic Complex in St. Cloud, a borrowed location to accommodate the anticipated crowd. The countless text messages and voicemails received from former players validated the longtime coach’s approach to relationship building.
“I was blessed to hear from so many players and families leading up to Monday’s game,” Randolph said. “I love working with this age group and developing them into good men and fathers.”
