It was an honor to present the 2024 Youth Hockey Hall of Fame Award to the Grendahl Family on behalf of Bob Grendahl's commitment to building a hockey program in Wadena. Every hockey community has a project manager, one who sets the first bricks in place and lays the foundation and then sees that each brick thereafter is set firmly in place. That was Bob Grendahl in the Wadena community. A well deserved award and a great hockey family. Bob's son, Robby, continues the tradition as the head high school coach for Wadena-Deer Creek. Special thanks to the Herb Brooks Foundation for recognizing those who make a difference in youth hockey in our communities.
