Season cut short for U-15 hockey team that overcame 'Mighty Ducks' situation

ROCHESTER, Minn. (FOX 9) - Precautions to slow the spread of coronavirus have impacted everything from high school sports to professional leagues.

And, for one team from Carver County, the cancellations meant a disappointing end to an unlikely season.

Friday, the U-15 State Hockey Tournament in Rochester was cancelled, a blow to a team from Chaska-Chanhassen after a bizarre year. They had to combine with Eden Prairie to get enough players to compete.

At the start of the year, they didn't have a coach or goalie -- truly a “Mighty Ducks” situation.

Despite all that, the girls won hearts along with games and had a chance at a championship, just to have their unlikely run cut short.
