Justin Hermann Tenders with NAHL Team

DYHA and the Phoenix Firebirds would like to congratulate Justin Hermann on accepting his Tender offer to play for the Minotauros of the (NAHL).

Coach Collins stated that Hermann Is a very strong powerful forward who loves to hit! His poise and defensive maturity are beyond his years. Hermann is a gutsy, two-way forward with speed and leadership qualities. He has the versatility to play center and wing, power play or penalty kill, scoring line or a checking line.

Hermann has huge upside , Despite growing up in a non-traditional hockey area, Hermann's potential as future junior and College player is probably more tied to being an all-around player who contributes at both ends of the ice . Hermann is one of the top penalty killers on the team. Hermann has led the team in PK ice-time, and is not only fast but plays with absolutely no fear, blocking shots and sacrificing his body is a big part of his game. Hermann is a team Player that will do whatever is asked of him. Hermann plays with a ton of heart and determination and his presence on and off the ice are second to none.

I am extremely happy for Justin having to have such a wonderful opportunity.

--Todd Collins, Midget U18 AAA Head Coach

Jack and Jenna

On Friday, December 30, 2011, a Minnesota Sophomore, Jack "Jabby" Jablonski, was chasing a puck behind the goal line when a check from behind sent him head first into the boards. His injury was severe: two broken vertebra and a severed spinal cord; his life changed in an instant.

A week later, another Minnesota player Jenna Privette was also sent to the hospital when a bad check left her with no feeling in her lower body.
