Willard Ikola, the former Edina boys hockey coach who led the program to eight state championships and 19 state tournament appearances, died Monday evening, according to school officials. He was 92.

When he retired in 1991, Ikola had 616 career victories and was named Minnesota’s high school hockey coach of the year six times. In the first 47 years of the Minnesota high school state hockey tournament, Ikola had been involved in 23 of them — four as a player and 19 as a coach.

Ikola became the coach at Edina in 1958. He led the program for 33 years and was inducted into the Edina Athletic Booster Club Hall of Fame in its inaugural year. Rest in peace Coach Ike.

Have you registered your Booster membership for the 2024-2025 school year? If not, registration is open at www.edinaboosterclub.com.

Some changes for the 2024-2025 include:

• We've added a membership level for those that may not need Booster tickets yet still want to support the group. It's called the Legacy Level. If you give $250 or above we'll send you a gift certificate for 20% of that value that can be redeemed in the school store for any in-stock items.

• Booster ticket package prices are higher this year, but those prices are in line with what GoFan will charge for online tickets. But aren't Booster tickets convenient?!? Yes!

• The Boosters do so many things for our student athletes. And this year the Boosters are partnering with Premier Sports Psychology to provide education and resources for mental health and well-being for our coaches, student-athletes and parents.
