“At that point it became a reality and it was a no-brainer. “In my second year in the US, Coach Ben (Umhoefer) saw me at a tournament and emailed my dad saying we would love to have him (at the school),” Shlaine beams. There were a number of Europeans at the school, so that helped him get settled in his new surroundings. He was living in a dorm and just playing hockey.

Shlaine, a Moscow native, moved to South Florida on his own to enroll at the South Florida Academy, headed up by former NHLers Olli Jokinen and Tomas Vokoun. “My dad had sent emails around to a few American schools, but the amount for Shattuck was not affordable for my family, so we ended up in South Florida, which really helped me transition a lot.”

“You get a much better look from scouts, and your chances to get seen just increase.” “After 14 years in Russia, my family and I started thinking about moving to the United States,” Artem Shlaine says. Mary’s happen in their own backyard, others happen on the other side of the world. “Our strengths have always been consistency, execution, doing what we say we are going to do, not over complicating, pride in the work and focusing on development.” “That’s becoming the norm,” Umhoefer admits. Mary’s players were selected in the 2021 NHL Draft. The list keeps growing, longer and more impressive as the years go on. Mary’s has won 27 USA Hockey National Championships, had 93 players selected in the NHL draft, seen over 750 players play D1 or D3 hockey, produced 19 Olympians with six Gold Medalists, a Hobey Baker winner, two Patty Kazmaier Awardees and over 30 current and former USA National & U18 National women’s team players. Mary’s, starring in 125 games and posting 340 points in his last two years, before going 17 th overall to the New Jersey Devils in the 2003 NHL draft. Jordan, a goaltender, played three years at the University of North Dakota, while Zach would go on to play six seasons at Shattuck-St. It started at home for Parise, bringing his young sons Zach and Jordan into the fold. Parise in turn hired Larry Hendrickson, Mike Eaves and Andy Murray to post up behind the benches and then went on a recruiting spree to get the best players from Minnesota and beyond to attend. Norwich was able to bring in JP Parise to begin the hockey movement. Mary’s in 2005, returning in 2010 to coach five of the program’s eight teams over 10 seasons before transitioning to his current role.Īt the time, Craig Norwich, a local Minnesota hockey legend who starred at the University of Wisconsin and amassed over 100 NHL games, was a coach at the school and is the one credited with the vision of getting out of the state high school league, playing more games and increasing travel. Umhoefer was a student enrolled at the school at the time, he would graduate from Shattuck-St. “He suggested the one asset the school had that wasn’t being utilized was the hockey rink, and that’s where it started.” “The school had brought in a consultant a while afterwards,” Ben Umhoefer, director of hockey at Shattuck-St. In the early 1970s, the school dropped their military distinction and struggled to find a new specialty, to the point where the doors were close to being closed on the institution forever. The home to Centers of Excellence in engineering, bioscience, vocal performance, soccer, figure skating, golf and hockey. The campus sits on 250 acres about an hour south of Minneapolis.

“How could a Cole Harbour, NS, native and Captain Canada have attended school in the United States?” Two friends of mine, both adamant in their stances and perhaps a little tipsy from their evening engagements, were disputing the truth to Pittsburgh Penguins star, Sidney Crosby, attending high school in Minnesota. It was at a bonfire a few years ago that I came across a heated debate about one of the all-time greats.
