After finishing as section runner up for the last two seasons, the Brainerd Boys’ Hockey program had its eyes set on more. That included hiring a new coach, and the school thought no man was better for the job than Dave Aus.

Aus was the coach at powerhouse Blaine before family and big dreams brought him to Brainerd. But after a shaky 1-2 start to the season, both players and coaches have no doubts in their mind that they can turn this around.
