CHEVY WISHES YOUTH TEAMS GOOD LUCK ON DRIVE TO STATE However you have been involved with hockey, the idea of setting goals and striv- ing to achieve them has been part of the dialogue. Goals can be short-term or long-term, but no matter what they are, we plan to reach them through hard work, extra reps, additional coaching, and a lot of sweat! So what might get in the way of achieving them, even if we have the tools, resources, and a solid plan? Chevrolet is excited for their ninth con- secutive season as the presenting partners of the Minnesota Hockey Region and State Tournaments. With "The Drive to State powered by Chev y," Chev y Dealers play a key role in the signature events of youth hockey in Minnesota. "Like the rest of the hockey players and families in Minnesota, we are very excited for the most thrilling time of the hockey sea- son—State Tournament time," said Patrick Johnson, President of the Select Heartland Chev y Dealers. "We wish all of those teams competing for a spot at a Minnesota Hockey State Tournament the best of luck on their Drive to State!"
