Coaches Corner

We had a very good region tournament.  We were able to
accomplish one of our   team goals which was to qualify for the state
tournament.  The guys were a   little disappointed with out game
against Bismarck High- we just couldn't get   going after a couple of
penalties in the first period.  I really liked the   effort level of
our players in the tournament.  We got scoring contributions   from a
lot of players.  It was a solid tournament.  Now we have to turn   our
focus to the state tournament.

Logan Millican West Region Senior Athlete of the Year

The 5' 9" 175 lb Forward is the states leading scorer at press time and has set several single game, season and career scoring records for the Braves. The remarkable stat for Millican is he set the career scoring records in just three varsity seasons while the previous record holders for the Braves achieved over for varsity seasons. Logan has scored 50+ points in the last two seasons. He has really matured as a player and has evolved into a complete player. He has really worked hard to become a solid defensive player besides the production he displays in the offensive zone. Millican is a very good student/athlete who works very hard in the classroom. He has been one of the team leaders in supporting a couple of the local charities and organizing activities to benefit these organizations. Head Coach David Hoff said this about Logan: " Throughout Logan's youth playing career he could always score goals. He has an outstanding shot with a very quick release. I have really enjoyed watching him develop as a person and a player. He attends every optional skill development practice and is a weekly participant in our Breakfast Club Skill Development Program for community youth hockey players. He's the player who can't get enough ice time. He is there every time the ice is open."

"Coaches Corner"

Comments- We had 2 very good games against good opponents to finish up the regular season. We needed a win over Minot and then a win over Bismarck Century in regulation to have a chance to win the region. Unfortunately we came up short with the OT win. But we'll deal with it and make sure we are ready for region play.

I like the way we are playing right now- I think we are getting better every
time we play. The guys are figuring out how to play solid defensively but still use our offensive talents. We just need to keep progressing and limiting our turnovers.

Next action- We will enter the WDA tournament as the #2 seed and
play the 5:00 game on Thursday, Feb. 16th in Bismarck. As of today
our opponent is yet to be determined- either Mandan or Hazen/Beulah.
Depends on a Minot vs. HB game tonight

COACHES CORNER

It was a tough weekend for our players- a tough region game at home on Friday and a long road-trip to West Fargo on Saturday. We didn't necessarily play real well but we found a way to win both games.

Kyle Volk has played very well for us the last couple of weeks- he is getting scoring chances and really making the most of them. Against Mandan we were down 3-0 about 11 minutes into the game. We had started fairly well that night but Mandan scored 3 goals in 4 minutes- they really made it tough on us. Cody Brooks
made a huge save late in that game that gave us a chance to get the
win.

West Fargo was a good win in that we had some penalty trouble in the 2nd period so we had to have several guys step up and fill some crucial roles in the 2nd and 3rd period. I thought it was a good team win.

The Braves Fall to Bismarck Century
"Barn Burner"

The Bottineau Rugby Braves fall to Bismarck Century for their only regional defeat this year with only 9 seconds left in the 3rd period as Century scored the winning goal.

Coaches Corner

The game was a tough one to lose. I thought we really competed hard for the entire game. Both teams really played well.

The goaltenders from both sides made big saves when needed and the
defensemen on both sides made it tough to get the puck to the net.
It really was a good high school game- we just came out on the wrong
end of it on the scoreboard.

2nd- BR led 1-0
Final- Century wins 2-1

Scoring-

Mon. Jan 23, 2012 Bottineau Defeats Minot at Home
7 - 3

Coaches Corner

Comments- I was pleased to see us come out in a big game and play
pretty well for the most part. In the past we have had big games but
not always played well. I think we are growing as a team and
program- we expect to play well. It is so much fun to play against
good teams, compete hard, and come out on top in the end.

Logan Millican had 3 goals and now has 32 on the season- this ties
the record for most goals in a single season. Logan really sets the
standard for us when it comes to out compete level. He has matured
so much the last 2 years- he understands if he competes every single
shift he will get his chances. I'm not sure most people realize how
difficult it is to not let something not going your way get to you.
The really good players get past it and keep their compete level
high- Logan is really starting to understand that.

High school hockey results from this past week-

Braves Add 2 More Victories on the Road

Comments- We had a good weekend picking up 2 wins in region play.
It was kind of a crazy weekend in that when we were ready to leave on
Friday- both goaltenders were fighting the flu. Cody Brooks was not
able to travel with us this weekend- but Riley Monson played his
first minutes in varsity play starting both games. I thought the
team rallied around him to try to help him out. He made some saves
in both games when we needed it. We did a good job of spreading the
scoring out consistently through 2 lines- we just need to get a
little more production from a 3rd unit.

Coaches Comments
"3 Wins in 1 Week"
Jan 10 - Jan 15, 2012

It was a good week picking up 3 wins- we actually had 2 Wins with the JV as well this past week. We played a solid game against Boissevain- we played a lot of players in that game and played real solid defensively as a team. I thought we were sloppy Defensively against Williston- I thought they outworked us in our defensive zone. I know the score was 13-4 but we have to take care of the puck better than we did.

Bismarck High- I really enjoyed playing in this game- we need more tight battles like this one. Both teams had their times when they controlled the play. They are deeper than we are and it showed at times. I really like how we find a way to make a play when we need it. Nick scored a big goall to get the game tied up after a shift where we really got after them. Logan had a goal to take the lead late after Cody Brooks made a huge save in our own end. It was really nice to see Jackson come up with the game winner- he did a nice job of establishing position in front of the net and making his stick available for the pass which Luke was able to get to him.

Millican Breaks Scoring Record

During Fridays high school game against the Williston "Coyotes", Logan Millican stepped off the ice with another "Hat Trick" & a new Bottineau high school scoring record. The 72nd goal of his high school career. The record was broke with Millicans 3rd goal of the night. The "Braves" defeated the Williston Coyotes 13-4.

This is a new Bottineau High School career record. Chad Nehring held the previous record at 71 career goals.

Braves Head to Bismarck for West Region Hockey Tournament
February 17, 18, & 19

February 17, 2011 - As the Bottineau High School Braves Hockey team head to Bismarck ND for hopes of qualifying for the state tournament they can be proud of the teams success ending with a total overall record of 11 - 4. The Braves team work capitalized the winning effort on both offense & defensive play. The defensivemen & net minders Senior Michael Kornven & Junior Cody Brooks were able to manage the opponents score giving the edge to Bottineaus offensive play by getting the puck to the net via TEAM WORK. Because of that team work & leasership they have among them three Bottineau Braves that continue to be part of the top ND state high school hockey scoring leaders. Senior & Captain Seth Serhienko has ended the regular season play seated 2nd in the overall scoring leaders category followed by Junior Logan Millican ranked third & Freshman Harrison Aid ranked 7th. The state scoring leader is Logan Rauhauser of Bismarck Century.

Serhienko continues to be unique as he leads the state with overall assists with a total of 34. As stated in the last update, Serhienkos fine eye for the game depicts that the game isn’t just about individuals placing the puck into the net, it is more about how that puck gets there. Younger players & coaches, should take note & capitalize on watching how players can work together to achieve results in the winning department by following the adage PASS SHOOT SCORE.

The Bottineau Braves will be playing in the 4th game of the opening day of the ND West Region Hockey Tournament at 7:30 against Mandan Braves. The Bottineau Braves recently played the Mandan Braves on February 4th for their second meeting of the season with a final score of 11 -1 Bottineau with the win. In their 1st meeting the score was much closer as Bottineau claimed victory 4 - 3. Good Luck to David Hoff & the Bottineau Braves at the West Region Tournament this weekend. - PASS, SHOOT, SCORE !!!

2010 - 2011 Schedule

STATE SCORING LEADERS

Jan. 29 - Three Bottineau Braves are part of the top ND state high school hockey scoring leaders with Seth Serhienko leading in the state with 43 total points, including 14 goals & 29 assists. Logan Millican is just 2 points behind with a total of 41 overall points, including 26 goals & 15 assists. Freshman Harrison Aide is not far behind, ranked # 4 in the state with 35 points with 17 goals & 18 assists.

Serhienkos fine eye for the game depicts that the game isn’t just about individuals placing the puck into the net, it is more about how that puck gets there. Younger players & coaches, should take note & capitalize on watching how players can work together to achieve results in the winning department by following the adage PASS SHOOT SCORE.

Don’t forget about the defensive play. Teams can’t win by scoring alone. Bottineau’s goalies have been holding their own with a lot of hard work from the defensive men helping them manage the score. Defense is an often overlooked team play aspect. The Bottineau Braves goalies Cody Brooks & Michael Kornkven are both ranked in the top 12.

Good Luck to the Braves & coach Hoff this weekend against Century !!!
