‘Power and Stride’ nominated for award

“Power and Stride: The Nancy Burggraf Story” has been nominated for the Minnesota Book Award.

The biography by Merrie Sue Holtan, communication studies teacher at Minnesota State University Moorhead, is the story of a woman from Roseau, Minn., who changed the game of hockey forever.

Burggraf has been called a hockey “guru” and “icon” by USA Today and was the first woman nominated to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.

During five decades, she touched the lives of more than 40,000 hockey players through her camps and clinics. She taught some of the best in the National Hockey League and connected with her players on a personal level.

The winner of the award will be announced Feb. 1.
