After years of struggles, can Grafton-Park River ever return to the top of North Dakota high school hockey?

In Grafton, North Dakota, they’re not just trying to rebuild a hockey team — they’re trying to rebuild a way of life. For generations, Spoiler hockey was more than wins and banners; it was a shared identity, passed down from rink to rink, family to family. That tradition slipped in recent years, as numbers fell and state tournament trips faded from view. But now, with young players filling the ranks and old names returning to coach, Grafton-Park River is chasing something bigger — the return of a hockey culture built to last. Tom Miller with Grand Forks Herald has the full story.
