Profiles of Excellence - Nate Ronning
Many young athletes have
their future plans changed dramatically by an injury. Some are forced to
give up their sport because of the injury, while others can continue playing,
but with their long-range plans and ambitions. A serious injury can lead
the athlete to reassess his or her future and take other things—such as
academics—more seriously. For Nate Ronning, almost losing his vision caused
him to change how he looked at his future, and brought him to Concordia
College with the ambition to become a physician.
“I was in my third year of
playing Juniors hockey, and had quite a few Division I schools talking
to me about a possible scholarship when I took a stick in the eye and almost
lost my vision,” Nate recalled. “The injury scared off the Division I schools
that were interested in me. At that point, I decided to focus on academics
in college.”(More)

Mike Dowers Named MIAC
Player of the Week!
Concordia freshman goaltender
Mike
Dowers (Thief River Falls, Minn./Lincoln HS) was named the MIAC Player
of the Week for his two-game performance against Hamline last weekend.
Dowers stopped 64 of the
67 shots he faced in Concordia's two-game sweep over Hamline. The two wins
snapped a four-game conference losing streak for the Cobbers and keeps
them in the hunt for one of the final conference playoff spots.
In the Cobbers' 4-1 win on
Friday, Dowers turned aside the final 28 shots he faced to help Concordia
win for only the second time in the past six games. He did not allow a
goal after the Pipers had tied the game at 1-1 at the 3:46 mark of the
second period.
On Saturday, he made 21 saves
and shut down Hamline in the third period after the game was tied at 2-2
after two periods.

2004-05 Cobber Men's Hockey Preview
- Complete
2004 Concordia Men's Hockey Preview
The 2004-05 Concordia men’s
hockey team will have to punch the clock and bring their hard hats to the
rink every game. This year’s edition of the Cobbers will not have any superstar
or game-breaking playmaker, but will have a boatload of players who have
MIAC experience and the work ethic to keep Concordia in every game.
Steve Baumgartner
begins his 19th season behind the bench for Concordia. He will be hoping
to bring the Cobbers back into the playoffs after missing the MIAC postseason
last year for the first time in six seasons. Baumgartner will have to rely
on the team’s depth and a much-improving defensive corps to get back into
the top five in the conference.
The biggest question mark
for Baumgartner’s Blue Collar Bunch will be between the pipes. The Cobbers
have four goalies on the roster, and not one has any game experience for
the Cobbers Three of the four are freshmen and the fourth is a transfer
from UM-Crookston. The preseason favorite to win the starting job is Josh
Hand (Fr., Temple, Pa.). Hand played for Thunder Bay in the SIJHL last
year and his 6-2, 205 frame will be an imposing wall for opposing shooters.
Mike
Dowers, (Fr., Thief River Falls, Minn.), Drew Dvorak (Fr., Litchfield,
Minn.) and Lee Baldwin (So., Horace, N.D) will all push Hand for
playing time. Baldwin played in eight games last year for UM-Crookston,
and Dvorak was the #1 golfer on the Cobber men’s golf team this fall.(More)
