Early last Friday evening, Moose Younghans cellphone suddenly buzzed with activity. Carl Fish, pride of St. Paul Johnson High School, had just scored his first goal for the Gophers. I got 22 text messages in three minutes when he scored that goal, said Younghans, the Governors boys hockey coach.
Ditto for Bob Motzko, the Gophers men s hockey coach. Once that puck went across the line, I think Coach Motzko had 20-some [messages], said Garrett Raboin, one of Motzko s assistants.
And Fish s mom, Julia, was at 3M Arena at Mariucci to witness it. She said she wanted to rush the glass to celebrate, but they wouldn t let us.
