Sad news to share this morning. Legendary coach Willard Ikola passed away last night at the age of 92. Coach Ikola led Edina to 8 state titles and 616 wins over a 33 year span. A true legend in the hockey community, coach Ikola will be missed be all.
🚨BREAKING🚨: 3.5⭐️ forward Casey Vandertop has committed to the University of St. Thomas! The Minnesota native is fresh off representing @usahockey at the U17 Five Nations tournament this past August, which he earned after a strong showing at Select 16 Camp.
I am honored to announce my commitment to further my education and play Division 1 hockey at Cornell University. I would like to thank God, my family, friends, coaches, advisor, and everyone else who has helped me along the way. #BigRed
'07 Sam Peckham has committed to Cornell! The Minnesotan defender played for Edina High last season, where he notched 24 points in 31 games. Peckham was drafted by the @BlckHawksHockey in the 2024 USHL Draft.

We asked Mason West, Edina football and hockey star as a sophomore, how recruiting is going. @JimPaulsen was not surprised to hear this: "It's gotten a little busy." Read about it here: @EHShornetsnest@edinahornets@EHSHornetsFB#mshsl https://t.co/pm6iG5rELQ
