This feature is part of a series that recognized the 10 greatest hockey players in Minnesota State Mankato’s history. It originally aired during the 2010-2011 hockey season on Charter Communications’ College Hockey Weekend broadcasts.
I played at Minnesota State from 1977-1981, and currently hold eight goaltending records.
During my career, the Mavericks played in four NCAA national tournaments where we finished first once (1979-80), second once (1978-79) and third twice (1977-78 and 1980-81).
After MSU, I became a sports reporter at KARE 11 TV in the Twin Cities and started the Carroll Goalie School in 1995. I currently work in communications for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. My brother Pat was also named to the top 10 list.
