Dani Burgen buries 100th high
school goal—but she's not done yet
by Steve Mann
CHISAGO LAKES HIGH SCHOOL STANDOUT
DANIELLE BURGEN is on quite a run.
She competed in the 2018 and 2019 USA
Hockey Youth National Championships, win-
ning the title in 2018 with her 14U team; won
gold in 2020 with the U.S. Under-18s in Slovakia; led Chisago
Lakes to their first-ever Minnesota State High School Hockey
Tournament appearance last season; earned a spot on the
2022 U.S. U-18s team; and committed to UMD.
Oh, and the senior tallied her 100th career high school goal
in early December as she gears up for the 2022 U-18s in
Sweden. In recently sitting down with MHJ, Burgen reminisced
about hometown pride, the tourney, representing her country
and more.

I am proud to be a part of Chisago Lakes
because we are a small town with a
lot of talent. I'm not only talking about
hockey talent but who the team is off the
ice as well. We are filled with energetic,
encouraging and hard-working players,
which is exactly what you want on a team."
