A new documentary showcases the “Friday Night Lights” of the north.
Each weekend, Hermantown Hawks captain Blake Biondi would lace up his skates and take the ice to a packed crowd from his small Minnesota hometown.
But there were also unfamiliar faces in the stands each time Biondi played — scouts looking for the next star in the National Hockey League. “Specifically in Minnesota, you have these teams that still have this community-based model where it’s like football in Texas… parents flooding the rinks, they’re doing the concession stands, and they’re coming out and packing these stadiums in these small towns with 3 to 4,000 people.”
Eveleth, a small Minnesota town with a powerful hockey history, aims for one last season of glory in “Hockeyland.”— it was the final season of Golden Bears hockey as they know it.
