The Hutchinson girls' team is coached by Marc Telecky, the brother of boys' coach Matt Telecky.
NHL support: T.J. Oshie of the Washington Capitals, a two-time state champion with Warroad, said he is looking forward to following the Warriors in the state tournament from afar. "It's going to be pretty fun to watch," Oshie said. "If I can't watch one of the games, I'll definitely be having the trainers with their little earpieces letting me know what the scores are."
