Faribault cancels varsity boys hockey season; ‘this is not the end,’ says director
For the first time in Faribault High School history, the Falcons will not field a varsity boys hockey team in the 2026-27 school year. Activities Director Shane Gunderson said the school was exploring options to return to varsity competition in the future. “We made the decision early because we did not want to enter the season with a roster that we did not believe was sustainable or put students in a situation where safety could become a concern,” Gunderson said. “Our goal is absolutely to field a Faribault boys hockey team again. We are currently working to determine whether we can maintain a junior varsity-level program this winter.” Gunderson said keeping a high school program available is important because the school has younger players in the Faribault Hockey Association, and it wants those students to be able to see a path to playing high school hockey in Faribault. Boys hockey was already participating in a cooperative agreement that included students from Bethlehem Academy, Medford and Randolph. Gunderson said even with those schools participating, the overall numbers were not sufficient to field a varsity team.
