The Ms. Hockey candidates are identified based on nominations by their coaches. The selection of the top 10 candidates, then the five finalists, and ultimately the winner, is based on consultations with a panel of college women’s coaches from the state of Minnesota, as well as a panel of high school coaches.

Very deep pool of senior goalies to vie for first Jori Jones Award

Sauk Centre, MN - Let's Play Hockey announced the 10 semifinalists for the Jori Jones Award, given to the state's most outstanding senior goaltender.  The award was recently named in honor of Jones, a 2022 semifinalist for the Senior Goalie of the Year Award who died last summer from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

This year's semifinalists have played in more than 11,549 minutes. Collectively they have won 144 games and faced 6,207 shots and made 5,802 saves for a save percentage of .935. They have also combined for 60 shutouts. Seven of the 10 goalies are committed to play college hockey.

"This is one of the deepest goalie classes we have seen in some time," said Let's Play Hockey Publisher Bryan Zollman. "Whoever wins the Jori Jones Award is very deserving as all 10 of these goalies have not just had outstanding years, but great careers."

Sauk Centre, MN – Let’s Play Hockey has announced that the Senior Goalie of the Year Award will be named in honor of Jori Jones.

Jones was a goaltender at Roseville High School where she excelled and became a semifinalist for the award in 2022. Her talent awarded her the opportunity to further her playing career at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN where she served as a backup on the team that won the 2023 National Championship.

On Aug. 20, 2023, she was in a car with teammates returning from a team bonding event when they were involved in a two-vehicle accident. Jones later died at the hospital. She was 19.

Professor Prime Time

Repetition, repetition, repetition.  Same message, new dynamic messenger.

 

“Ninety-five percent of you are not going pro, whether you believe it or not,” from the mouth of Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders.   “So, I got to prepare you for life.  I got to spend more time on the life part than the pro part.”

 

Better known as NFL legend “Prime Time”, coach Deion Sanders has turned the college football scene sideways with his team’s early success.  On the exterior, ball cap, sunglasses and prominent gold cross around his neck, he is not your typical college coach.  On the interior he is a man driven by old school character and a deep religious faith.  His fire burns hot and while the expectations for his players are extremely high, he also knows the reality that very few will make a living in the NFL.
