My apologies, good people of Roseau, for omitting your beloved Rams from my Tuesday list of 25 highlights from the boys' hockey state tournament.

These things happen. My colleague, Howard Sinker, omitted the Barbers from his list of the 10 top sports siblings from Minnesota.
Howard said today, "I pretty much messed up on something that should have been right in front of my eyes."
I know the feeling.
