On the eve of the biggest games of their seasons â?? if not their hockey careers â?? members of the four squads that make up the Robertson Cup National Tournament got to hear Wednesday from a man whoâ??s played in, and coached, his fair share: Mark Johnson.
Johnson touched on everything from college life to his time as a member of the 1980 â??Miracle on Iceâ? U.S. Olympic team in front of a throng of Ice Dogs fans and players with newly bleched blond hair.
â??It was amazing,â? Ice Dogs forward Kyle Schmidt said. â??Iâ??m really glad he had an opportunity to come up here.â?
