NORSEMEN A PART OF HEAVY CANOSA CONFERENCE....

  With the 2015 CCHL Canosa Conference playing out like the NL Central Division in Major League Baseball did in 2015, the Minnesota Norsemen are preparing daily for what is expected to be a dog fight all season to come out on top of. 

        "As teams were lining up in the offseason, it was obvious then that we were in a highly competitive conference," said Norsemen GM Blake Wendt. "As we've crossed that 10-game threshold, you're really starting to see how much parity there is in the Canosa. It's great to have the competition. Any victory is hard fought and well deserved. Makes every team that much tougher on each other and wield the sword when we get into inter-conference play." 

        Currently sitting atop the Canosa Conference, the Norsemen are 9-2-1 (19 points). Only one point ahead of the Victoria Ronin and five points from the sixth-ranked Georgetown Millers in the conference. 

        "The talent is immense," said Norsemen head coach, Craig Hartsburg. "We face it every game, so we have to come into every game dialed in and ready to go with a game plan. As a coaching staff we have to formulate a pre-plan that reflects the given opponent, adjust in-game and the players execute the plan. The team across from you is doing the same thing, so it's a constant battle. 'W' goes to the one who wants it more or gets the lucky bounces."
