BEN MEYERS is the eighth all-time
leading scorer in Minnesota high
school hockey history with 278 career
points. So it should come as no sur-
prise that he burst onto the college
scene as one of the Big Ten's best freshmen.
But it was a surprise to many. Maybe
because he was never drafted by an NHL
team, or maybe because he hails from the
smaller, blossoming hockey community of
Delano. The Tigers had never made it to
the state high school tournament until
Meyers and company paved the way
in 2016-17, when he tallied 120 points
in 31 games. Thanks to grassroots
efforts and some on-ice success,
the Delano boys have now made it
to state in three of the last four
years, something Meyers
keeps a close eye on.
