WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT COACH BURGGRAF
"Charlie is a great leader of people. He cares about the right things and treats people with respect. I have learned many things through coaching with Charlie. He has taught me how to lead better and be a stronger coach."
-- Brad Frost, University of Minnesota Head Women's Hockey Coach

"Coach Burggraf has a great hockey background having grown up in Roseau. His mother was a pioneer as a power skating instructor. Charlie was the captain of the North Dakota Souix and played proffesionally in Germany. He is a student of the game and master tactitcian. He has deep faith and continues to challenge and assist in the growth of not only his players but everyone he knows. Bethel hockey has been blessed over the past six years to have had two of the most gifted hockey coaches I have known in Joel Johnson and Charlie Burggraf."
