Welcome to the 2007-08 season of Bethel Royals Hockey!

To All Royals Fans and Media: As Director of Athletics at Bethel University, let me take this opportunity to welcome you to another season of Bethel Men’s Hockey. Excitement surrounding the team is high and building. A repeat MIAC conference championship is one of many ambitions the Royals have their sights on. Coach Joel Johnson takes over the reins as head coach after serving as assistant coach at Bethel for three years. Joel brings a tremendous blend of challenge, discipline, and encouragement in his coaching style. The team is marked by skill and courage, while being recognized as one of the top programs in Division III hockey.

Our sport teams collaborate as strong partners in education and seek to integrate Christian faith into every area of life. The athletes invest a tremendous amount of time and energy as they prepare for the thrill of competition. They are encouraged to experience the joy of giving their best on and off the ice every day. Enjoy the time you spend with us on campus and experience the excitement our men’s hockey program generates.

Bob Bjorklund, Athletic Director

2007-08 ROYALS

Bethel University Arena at the National Sports Center Since the team began play during the 1979-80 season, the Royals had never had an ice rink to call “home” until Jan. 19, 2007. That’s the day they officially moved their home ice from Columbia Arena in Fridley, Minn., to Bethel Uni-versity Arena at the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minn. Current Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and former Governor Wendell Anderson were on hand to dedicate the rink with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by the team’s first game, a 5-0 win over St. John’s University. Six weeks later, Bethel University Arena became the site of the Royals first MIAC playoff championship, which gave them an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

The Schwan’s Super Rink at the National Sports Center is the largest ice arena of its kind in the world. This state-of-the-art, $21 million facility features eight sheets of ice under one roof totaling more than 300,000 square feet. Bethel University Arena was part of a major expansion that took place in 2006 to include four new sheets of ice and the locker rooms that are home to the Royals hockey program. The Royals locker room features separate rooms for players and coaches, laundry machines, exercise equipment, and skate sharpening, making it inarguably one of the premier facilities in all of college hockey. Also added was the 12,500 square foot Herb Brooks Training Center that offers weight training, speed, and fitness machines.

The 2007-08 season marks the Royals first full season in their new home. The arena, coupled with the support of the student body, parents, loved ones, and other loyal fans, will be the foundation of the men’s hockey program for years to come.

The MIAC Founded in 1920, the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference spon-sors championships in 25 sports—13 for men and 12 for women. Conference teams are all affiliated with the NCAA Division III. The MIAC is recognized as one of the toughest NCAA Division III intercollegiate athletic conferences in the country. The MIAC offers championships in the following sports each year: football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s golf, women’s golf, volleyball (women), wrestling (men), men’s hockey, women’s hockey, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s swimming, women’s swimming, men’s nordic skiing, women’s nordic skiing, men’s indoor track, women’s indoor track, softball (women), baseball (men), men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s outdoor track, and women’s outdoor track. Teams from the MIAC are always nationally ranked and in the hunt for NCAA championships. The MIAC’s 13 private colleges an-nually attract many of the nation’s top student-athletes. The MIAC is a conference in which the athletes are students first, yet still have the opportunity to reach any height to which their athletic abilities take them. As a result of competing at the NCAA Division III level, no institution in the MIAC offers athletic scholarships. The members of the MIAC, all private, undergraduate colleges in Minnesota, are Augsburg College, Bethel University, Carleton College, Concordia College-Moorhead, Gustavus Adolphus College, Hamline University, Macalester College, The College of St. Bene-dict (women only), The College of St. Catherine (women only), St. John’s University (men only), St. Mary’s University, St. Olaf College, and the University of St. Thomas.

The Bethel hockey seniors have selected Hebrews 12:11 as the team verse for the 2007-08 season:

“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”

2007-08 ROYALS MIAC Opponents

Hard work and talent led to a successful season for the 2006-2007 Royals who finished the season in first place and went on to win the MIAC playoffs to garner their first ever automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

2006-07 MIAC Championship Team

Head Coach • 1st Year Coach Johnson enters his first season as the head coach of the Bethel Royal’s men’s hockey team. Johnson has served as the first assistant for the past three seasons, and now takes over for coach Peter Aus, who retired at the end of last season. Coach Johnson also serves as the head coach for the men’s golf team, and is no stranger to Bethel athletics. An alum of Bethel University and as a three-sport captain in soccer, hockey, and baseball, he looks to continue to add stability and tradition to Bethel Hockey, a program he played for in the early 1990’s.

In his first three seasons serving as the assistant coach, the Royals were a playoff team each year, posting record numbers of wins and culminating last season with Bethel’s first ever Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) regular season championship. Along with a first place regular season finish, the Royals also claimed their first ever MIAC playoff title as well as advancing to the quarterfinals of the NCAA national tournament. Johnson looks to continue the tradition and recent success that he helped to build along with former head coach Peter Aus. Johnson states, “Working with Pete Aus was undoubtedly the best thing that has ever happened in my professional coaching career. We had success on the ice, but more importantly we invested in the lives of our players off

the ice. I learned how to be a better hockey coach and also a better man from my time spent working for Coach Aus. I’m proud to say that I can call him a friend and colleague.”

Johnson returned to Bethel in 2004 after serving as the 1st assistant for the University of Minnesota women’s hockey team where he was responsible for a number of on and off-ice responsibilities. His time with the Gophers resulted in several WCHA league and tournament titles along with two NCAA national championships.

Coach Johnson states, “More than anything, I’m delighted to be working at an institution like Bethel where Godly char-acter and integrity of our players, coaches, and staff comes first and foremost.” Johnson continues, “The combination of academic excellence and competitive athletics at Bethel is second to none, and I hope to build upon that foundation. I look forward to developing a hockey program that can build upon our tradition and compete every year for a MIAC cham-pionship.”

Johnson, his wife Shannon, daughter Megan, and son Jacob, reside in White Bear Lake, Minn.

Former Bethel goalie Matt Millar is in his fourth year with the hockey program coaching the goaltenders. Matt comes from a rich hockey background and has been around the game since he was born, as his father has been the trainer for the Edmonton Oilers and the equipment manager for the Los Angeles Kings. Matt is a student of the game and will offer the goalies his knowledge, expertise, and experience. Matt graduated from Bethel in 2005 and is currently working as a goaltending consultant.

Chris Carroll is in his fourth year coaching at Bethel after completing a two-time All-Conference career for the Royals from 2000-2004. A native of Roseville, Minn., Carroll lettered four years in both hockey and baseball for the Royals and was a captain in each sport. Carroll brings both enthusiasm and expertise to the Bethel program. He is currently involved in the post-graduate program at the Univ. of Minnesota in Exercise Physiology, and is married to Bethel assistant volleyball coach, Carissa Carroll.

first time in school history, Bethel then went on to its first ever NCAA national tournament appearance. A first round victory over UW-River Falls led to a NCAA quarterfinal game where the Royals lost to eventual Final Four participant St. Norbert’s.

Coach Joel Johnson is entering his first season as head coach after serving as the assistant for the past three seasons. Peter Aus, a recent inductee into the MN Hockey Coaches Association Hall of Fame, retired after 13 successful seasons, leading Bethel to the top of the MIAC conference.

Though expectations are high for this year, there are also some big skates to fill as the Royals lost 12 players from last year’s veteran team including All-MIAC defenseman Neal Carlson and forwards Nick Miller, Ryan Adams, Benoit Duhamel, and Jon Kramer, who combined for 33 goals and 84 total points last season.

Leading Bethel into this year will be sophomore goaltender Aaron Damjanovich (Remer, Minn./Greenway HS), who was an All-MIAC player a year ago. The Royals also bring back five of six defensemen led by senior captain Steve Eastman (Edina, Minn./Edina HS) and fellow classmate Bill Menozzi (Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville HS). Up front, the Royals will rely on seniors Dan Bonne (White Bear Lake, Minn./White Bear Lake, HS) and Jeff Balvin (Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove HS), as well as juniors Brad Peterson (Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson HS), and Kent Bostrom (Vadnais Heights, Minn./Mounds View HS) to spark the offense.
