WELCOME TO ANOKA HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY!Tornado Hockey Fans,
Welcome back to another
exciting Anoka hockey season!
As we pass the mid-way point of
trimester 1, the hallways are
beginning to stir with the
excitement for our Tornadoes
Hockey season. The boys have
been working hard in the off-
season to prepare for a run at a
Section Title and a chance to play for a State
Title. Coach Manthey and his staff are gearing up
and preparing the practice plans for the
upcoming season! The bleacher captains are
planning to draw large student crowds to each
game and show our school spirit in supporting
our Tornado team. The off season training was
good and the boys are ready to get on the ice and
begin their quest for a title.
We appreciate your support tonight of our
Tornado Hockey team and all of your positive
comments. I ask that everyone in attendance
cheer in a positive fashion for our team, coaches,
and refrain from negative comments toward
referees, opposing team and coaches, as well as
our team and coaches. Please show your Anoka
High School spirit and keep your comments
supportive in nature. As an Anoka Family, we
want to support each other at all times whether
in a win or a loss. Your support of our program is
extremely important. Thank you for all you do to
rally behind our team, coaches, community and
Anoka High School. Good luck to our Tornado
Hockey team and coaches this season!
GO TORnADOES!!
Michael D. FarleyPrincipalAnoka High SchoolHome of the Anoka Family763-506-6201
The traditions at Anoka
High School continue to
amaze me. I have met so
many wonderful alumni
who appreciate and
acknowledge the many
opportunities provided to
them from AHS. They
usually comment on how
they learned life lessons
through their sport. Hockey has a great
tradition; starting in 1946 at AHS where
hard-nosed hockey was the theme from
the past players. Hockey has evolved
with our players becoming more and
more skilled and I am excited to watch
the Tornadoes develop under the
leadership of Coach Manthey and his
staff. Best of luck to the young men as
they embark on this year’s hockey
journey. Go Tornadoes!

CHAMPION’S CREED
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you do not.
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It is almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you will lose, you are lost.
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a player’s will;
It is all in a state-of-mind.
If you think you’re outclassed, you are.
You have got to think high to rise.
You have got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later the player who wins
Is the one who thinks he can!

ANOKA HOCKEY HISTORYAccording to Craig Torbenson, the author of “TornadoMagic,” the first mention of hockey in Anoka was the1935-1936 season. During the 1930’s and 1940’s,Anoka High School was enrolled in hockey for some ofthose years but not in others. Anoka High School Hockeyprogram’s first season in the Minnesota State HighSchool League was 1953-1954 and was coached byCharles Bauer. Anoka High School had purchased useduniforms from the St. Paul amateur hockey team. Atthat time there was no youth programs in Anoka, justthe high school team.
Thank you to Coach alley, who made Anoka Hockey…hetruly is the father of Anoka Hockey! In 1954, the AnokaHennepin ISD 11 superintendent, Morris Bye, hired JimAlley as a teacher and a hockey coach. When CoachAlley was hired, Anoka had one dimly light outdoor rink,at what is now Sorenson Rink, with poor ice andsplintered boards. The prospect were even morechallenging when Coach Alley called his first playermeeting and realized that few players had decent skatesand none had played organized hockey. Needless to say,the team lost heavily, but learned along the way.
Coach Alley pleaded with the school district and the cityto construct several outdoor rinks with lights. Outdoorrinks were constructed at Sorenson, Lincoln, Franklin,Champlin and Wilson. He then went to work ondeveloping a youth program that would feed the highschool program. He was also responsible for purchasingall equipment for the youth and the high schoolprograms along with raising money to purchase theequipment and some indoor ice at either Aldrich Arenaor Wakota Arena. Coach Alley successfully built theAnoka Hockey Program because of his passion andvision for the game.
Coach Alley coached at Anoka High School from 1954through the 1963 season. In 1964, Joe Poole took overthe program and guided the Tornadoes for 12 seasons.Coach Poole recorded 133 wins and 94 losses. AfterCoach Poole stepped down in 1977, Terry Abram tookover for two seasons. Coach Abram recorded 24 winsand 17 losses during his tenure as the Tornadoescoach. Mark Kristo was hired and stayed on for oneseason, 1979-1980, and was 14 and 7. Jack Petersonwas hired to coach the Tornadoes after severalsuccessful state championships in the Anoka youthprogram. Coach Peterson guided the Tornadoes to theirfirst state tournament bid in 1985. The 1985Tornadoes captured third place in the state tournament.Coach Peterson coached for eight seasons and had arecord of 124 wins, 63 losses and 2 ties. Greg Rajenanstepped in after Coach Peterson and guided theTornadoes to a fifth place finish in the 1990 statetournament. Coach Rajanen was the Tornadoes coachfrom 1989 until 1993 and posted 71 wins, 51 lossesand 2 ties. In 1994, John Birrenkott took over the
program and recorded 88 wins against 39 losses and 5ties. Coach Birrenkott guided the Tornadoes to back-to-back state tournament appearance in 1997 and 1998.In 1997 the Tornadoes won the consolationchampionship and in 1998, the Tornadoes lost in thestate championship game against Duluth East 3 –1. In 1999, Todd Manthey took over the AnokaTornadoes Hockey program. Coach Manthey has guidedthe Tornadoes for 17 seasons, and continues to do so.In 2003, Coach Manthey’s team was crowned the statechampion in boys’ hockey. It was the first boys’ statehockey championship in school history. Coach Manthey’srecord, as of now stands at 195 wins, 184 losses and17 ties.
The Anoka High School hockey program has fielded aboys’ hockey team for the past 62 seasons. In that timeAnoka has had seven players drafted by the NationalHockey League:
Steve Alley Chicago Blackhawks
Paul Reifenberger New York Rangers
Tod Hartje Winnipeg Jets

Reg Berg Toronto Maple Leafs
Nate Miller Los Angeles Kings
The Anoka High School hockey program has also hadtwo hockey players that have played in the Olympicgames:

Three and a Half Men Processing
There are little eyes upon you,
And they’re watching night and day;
There are little ears that quickly
Take in every word you say;
There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do;
and a little boy who’s dreaming
Of the day he’ll be like you.
You’re the little fellow’s idol;
You’re the wisest of the wise,
In his little mind about youNo suspicions ever arise;
He believes in you devoutly,
Holds that all you say and do,
He will say and do, in your way
When he’s a grown-up like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little fellow,
Who believes you’re always right,
And his ears are always open
And he watches day and night;
You are setting an example
Every day in all you do,
For the little boy who’s waiting
To grow up to be like you.
