Maple Grove won their 3^rd State Adapted Hockey championship in school history as the Crimson defeated 16 & 0 Dakota United 4 to 1 in the title game. Watkins scored twice with Williams and Nunn each adding a goal each. Assists were attributed to Nunn, Driver and goalie Phelps. Phelps played another outstanding game in the nets, out dueling Hawks goalie Andrew Kinsella.
Maple Grove broke their own state tourney record from 1998 allowing only 3 goals against in the 3 tourney games. Nunn, Driver and Taylor were named to the Wells Fargo All-Tourney team.

The 2008 Maple Grove Crimson CI adapted hockey team will try to improve their 2007 record of 12 & 3 and their 2^nd place finish at the MSHSL adapted hockey tournament. Maple Grove lost to St. Cloud in the Championship game at last years state tourney. The Crimson will play in the MAAA North Division, with defending state champion St. Cloud , North Suburban, Mounds View, Anoka , Robbinsdale and Wayzata/Minnetonka.

Gone from last years Maple Grove team is Heather Bartell, Lucy McCarthy, Christopher Ringe, John Conner, Andrew Moerke, Charlie Duffney, Jon Delisi, and Tiffany Madison. Returning are 5 starters from last years team led by leading scorer senior Anthony Nunn, junior defenders Antoine Driver, George Watkins, sophomore wing Billy Williams and freshman goalie Joel Phelps. Also expected to see plenty of playing time is senior Meg Hanson, juniors Danny Boesen, Ryan Cornwell, Alicia Taylor and 8^th grader Sam VeoPradith. New to the team this year are junior Kamla Ramidhal and 8^th graders Zach Stanhope & Andy Brown. The biggest challenge will be to find some offensive scoring help for Nunn, who had 58 goals last year. A strong defense lead by Watkins, Driver and Phelps should be the strong point of this year’s team.
