Beloved Minn. hockey coach fights stomach cancer
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Louie Schmitz came to Farmington from Red Lake Falls in 1954 and helped start hockey outdoors -- the way he prefers it's played. Since then, he coached hockey and just about every other sport, but that was simply a platform to change lives.
This weekend, however, did not include sports. On Thanksgiving weekend, Schmitz was diagnosed with a severe case of stomach cancer. Now, his team is here for him.
Watch the report above.
