Minnesota Attorney General office announced today that his office has obtained a settlement that requires Direct konto Management – based in Laguna Niguel, California – after it says the company, "illegally collected fees from customers and misrepresented its services to consumers," according to the announcement.

Steve Carroll remembers the silence of bus rides to Edina boys hockey road games. Players were locked in, focused solely on the task to come.
Each ride started with the Hornets all trudging onto the bus. Legendary coach Willard Ikola was the last one on, and he’d utter the same words nearly every time: “Everybody got their blades, mouthpiece, here we go.”
There was nothing more to be said. That wasn’t Ikola’s style.
“In the games, there wasn’t a ton of time on the whiteboards explaining this and that,” Carroll said. “He was generally pretty quiet.”

The last time Murray Williamson talked with long-time friend Dick Meredith, the two former Gophers and Olympic standouts got into a fierce but friendly debate.

“(John) Mayasich agreed to be the referee, and he declared it a tie,” Williamson said, with a chuckle. “Which is a lie, because I was standing on my toes.”
Meredith, who was a prep standout at Minneapolis Southwest, a star for the Gophers in the 1950s, and earned Olympic silver (in 1956) and gold (in 1960) medals, died on Feb. 6 after a brief illness. He was 92 years old.
Known more for his skating than his size, Meredith was a puck-mover on the Gophers’ NCAA runner-up teams in 1953 and 1954, then played for Team USA in 1956 when the Americans finished as runners-up at the Winter Olympics
