In Minnesota, there's nothing like the atmosphere, excitement and pressure of high school playoff hockey. That is, unless, you're Orono's David McCuskey. In his high school hockey postseason career, McCuskey is averaging three goals a game. He's only played one, but it was a good one. "I just really like to win. I guess I'm pretty competitive out there," McCuskey said.
he Minnesota Vikings spent the weekend at the NFL scouting combine poring over quarterbacks, as thoroughly as any other team in the league. They're among the frustrated few — well, there's more than a few clubs without a quarterback solution — who badly need this draft to produce a long-term answer at the most important position.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love is the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Week.

Josh Willingham insists he is willing and able to serve as designated hitter for the Minnesota Twins, if that's what he's asked to do.
To say North Dakota is on a roll is an understatement. One week after scoring a National Collegiate Hockey Conference record nine goals, 11th-ranked UND coasted to a 6-2 win over No. 20 Minnesota-Duluth. Paul LaDue scored two of North Dakota's three power-play goals in a four-goal second period. With the win, North Dakota (18-9-3, 13-7-0) remained tied for first in the conference with St. Cloud State. UND is 14-2-1 in its last 17 games.
Kevin Love had 37 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for his first career triple-double to help the Minnesota Timberwolves cruise past the Utah Jazz 121-104 Saturday night. Minnesota was again playing without starters Nikola Pekovic (ankle) and Kevin Martin (finger), but Love filled the void, keeping one step ahead of the Jazz through the game. He compiled all his statistics in 32 minutes to earn a spot on the bench for the final nine minutes of the Wolves' third runaway win against the Jazz this season.
Sam Thompson scored 16 of his 19 points in the second half, leading No. 24 Ohio State back from a 12-point deficit to a 64-46 victory over Minnesota on Saturday night. The Buckeyes outscored the Golden Gophers 46-18 in the second half. Lenzelle Smith Jr. added 13 points and Shannon Scott 10 for the Buckeyes (22-6, 9-6 Big Ten), who trailed by 10 at the half and by 12 early in the second half before taking control with a 17-0 run.
With temperatures in the low teens, it seems winter is dragging on forever. But some people are already planning to watch "The Boys of Summer." Single-game tickets went on sale Saturday for the Minnesota Twins, and a good amount of fans braved the cold to wait at the box office for tickets. Lucia Hudy didn't mind shivering in order to get her hands on some good seats.
Minnesota has given football coach Jerry Kill a raise and another year on his contract. The university announced Saturday that Kill's deal was extended through the 2018 season and that he'll make $2.1 million in 2014, a big spike from his previous salary of $1.2 million. That was the lowest in the Big Ten. Athletic director Norwood Teague had promised for months the contract would be restructured.
Mike Pelfrey hopes to bounce back from a rough first season with the Minnesota Twins. The right-hander began last season less than a year after having Tommy John elbow-ligament replacement surgery and went 5-13 with a 5.17 ERA.
The University of Minnesota women's hockey team clinched a WCHA title with a 6-0 win over Minnesota-Duluth Friday night at Ridder Arena. The No. 1-ranked Gophers got a hat trick from sophomore Maryanne Menefee, the first of her career, and two goals from Sarah Davis.
She is a shooter, and a leader on and off the basketball court. Kyra Fredenburg's teammates at Anoka High School hope she can help carry them to a state tournament. She is our Aspire Athlete of the Week.
