Hockey Day goes retro with vintage-style poster
New semester will start soon at WBLAHS North Campus addition BY RANDY PAULSON STAFF WRITER

The vintage poster look is a signature style of Forest Lake artist Steve Thomas, who designed this year’s Hockey Day Minnesota poster. See Hockey Day Minnesota special section inside for the full poster and more information about the event Jan. 26-29.
WHITE BEAR LAKE — The last Monday of this month will be the start of a new era at White Bear Lake Area High School’s North Campus. That day, Jan. 30, is when students, faculty and staff at the grades 9-10 building will begin their first day of classes in the newly built addition. The first semester of the 2022-23 academic year at the North Campus will conclude Friday, Jan. 20. The week of Jan. 23-27 will meanwhile be five non-student days at North Campus, which will consist of one full work day for staff, one full day of professional development and three days dedicated to moving into the new building addition. That timeline differs from the rest of the district, which will close out the first semester on Wednesday, Jan. 25, and only dedicate Jan. 26-27 as non-student days. The transition into the new space is the culmination of
more than a year of construction work on the addition, which began in summer 2021. The project was one of several the district OK’d in its 2019 “Building Our Future” bond referendum. North Campus Principal Angela Nelson is eager to see work on the addition conclude and for it to finally be operational. “Every time I go over there, it's more finished, and you can see the vision behind why it was created and how it was created,” Nelson said. “It just makes me excited, because we're doing so much prep work around how student learning can change and really expand beyond what we've been able to do because we've been bound by facility space.” The three-story, 250,000-square-foot classroom addition is arranged into nine “studios,” one of which contains temporary office space and another which holds the media center. The remaining seven studios are learning pods that include six classrooms, conference rooms, individual and group
Hockey Day MN will be a high point in family’s hockey odyssey BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER
Hockey Day Minnesota, slated for Jan. 26-29 in White Bear Township, is especially meaningful to the Roed family, one of the local “first families” of the sport. Peter Roed was a Bear standout in the mid1990s and an NHL draftee who played six pro seasons, although he didn’t reach the National Hockey League (NHL). He grew up skating on
a backyard rink put in by his dad, Chris, who had played youth hockey. In turn, Peter Roed and his wife, Kelly, installed a rink in their backyard for their three sons — Lleyton, who starred for the Bears and now plays for Bemidji State; Nolan, a Bear junior forward who's led the team in goals for two years; and Nash, a sixth grader who, his mom said, uttered “hockey” as one of his first words.
