MINNEAPOLIS — Jason Dzurik did just about everything he could to help the Delano hockey team advance in the Section 2A playoffs Tuesday night at Parade Ice Gardens.

The senior goaltender made 41 saves against third-seeded Blake, but it wasn’t enough. The Bears slipped two pucks behind Dzurik in the third period, added an empty-net goal, and held Delano’s offense to a single, second-period goal en route to a 3-1 win in the elimination game.

Crow River Youth Hockey’s 2010 DA Shiver Ice Fishing Tournament was once again a success.
The event was  Saturday, Feb. 6, on Lake Sarah in Independence.

The event hosted 400 people, some to fish, some to eat, and others to play games with their kids and enjoy a nice day on the ice with their families.

The hockey association raised more than $20,000 in profits from the ice fishing contest and and fish house raffle.

The big winners of the day were Delano’s own Tina Miller, who took home the Ice Castle Fish House, and Willie Winterhalter, also from Delano, who won the shiny, red, Polaris four-wheeler for catching the biggest fish.

Willie’s fish was a 1.61-pound Northern, caught on the west end of Lake Sarah. The second-place winner in the fish contest came all the way from Deer River and took home a 37-inch television.  Third place went to Kevin Noetzelman, a Delano resident and hockey dad, who went home with a three-man portable fish house. Also given away were two $500 prizes to Joe Dzurik and Tony Funke.  Hardly anyone who came out to enjoy the day went home empty handed, as $28,000 in prizes were awarded to participants and onlookers.

Kids participated in ice bowling, minnow races and musical buckets, to name a few of the games, and took home prizes for their participation. The minnow race winner went home with a crisp 100-dollar bill, courtesy of McGowan Chiropractic of Delano.

The DA Shiver Ice Fishing Tournament and Ice House Raffle is the largest fundraiser for the Crow River Youth Hockey Association, and the proceeds support the efforts of this organization.

The association would like to thank everyone who came out to support the CRYHA.
