DETROIT LAKES — As the 2024-25 boys hockey season skates towards the first games, preseason rankings are the talk on the ice. But the hockey heads are forgetting to mention a Detroit Lakes team that is primed to showcase what they’ve been working on throughout the offseason. The Lakers aren’t affected by the early season polls. Detroit Lakes sees it as bulletin board material to turn some heads as the puck drops for the season opener on Saturday, Nov. 23 at Fergus Falls. ADVERTISEMENT “That's a good thing for us because we have something to prove, and I think the guys are showing that every day in practice,” sixth-year head coach Ben Noah said. The excitement of strapping on the skates and buckling on the bucket is being echoed around the locker room. Senior captain and Lakers defenseman Jace Fields knows they have a good team heading into the season. “We're all looking forward to getting on the ice and playing with each other,” he said. “That's always fun. We got a good schedule and a bunch of good teams. I think we're all ready to battle this whole season.” Nine months ago, the Lakers fell to East Grand Forks in the Section 8A semifinals. Noah used three words to describe last season: “ growth as a program .” A 12-14-1 overall record might not have shown it because of a tougher schedule, but last year's sum was a step in the right direction. Detroit Lakes saw it all come to fruition in its quarterfinal matchup against Crookston where the Lakers throttled the Pirates 7-1. Historically Detroit Lakes would’ve played to the level of the competition due to the level of opponents throughout the season. “ Because we had that tougher schedule last year, when it came down to the very end, we had our own identity and we were able to dominate that game,” Noah said. “Now, going into a fresh season, our next goal is to find ways to win those close hockey games that we were finding ways to lose last year. With all of our roster one year older and with all that experience, I feel confident that we're going to be able to get those things done.” The bolstered schedule led to a 1-8 schedule against some of the top teams in Class A and a 2-7-1 record in January with four games against ranked opponents after a red-hot December. The Lakers also had 14 games that were decided by two or less goals. Detroit Lakes came out on the winning end in just four. ADVERTISEMENT Senior captain and forward Easton Wahl saw most of those crushing losses from the sidelines after missing the most season with a lower-body injury. He sees that this year as a different story. “We lost a lot of the close games and couldn't really pull through on the games that we needed to win, which hopefully we can change that around this year,” Wahl said. “We have a lot more hard, tough games that we're going to be playing as well. So hopefully we can battle through those and get the wins.” The Lakers enter their first season in the Central Lakes Conference . The change added three new opponents, Rocori, Brainerd, and Sartell, to the schedule. But Detroit Lakes asked more top competition to test its talents. The Section 2A champions and the Class A consolations finalists Orono welcome the Lakers on Dec. 27 and the Section 1A champions Northfield will host Detroit Lakes the following day. The Lakers will also see the Class A champions St. Cloud Cathedral on Feb. 1 and Alexandria who were crowned Section 6A champions and a CLC rival on Dec. 17. Five of the eight Class A state tournament teams will face off against Detroit Lakes this season. It’s all part of the Lakers' game plan to turn heads. “If you look at our schedule, the hockey analysts around Minnesota high school hockey would tell you that we are underdogs in 17 of our 25 games on our schedule,” Noah said. “I look at it like it's an opportunity. Anytime that you get a chance to play a team that's better than you on paper, it's an opportunity to prove the critics wrong. That's our mentality going into the season is every challenge is an opportunity.” Detroit Lakes likes their chances against the better teams this year. Detroit Lakes lost four seniors but return eight juniors. That time on the ice will play a crucial role to the team’s success. ADVERTISEMENT “We're going to be a lot closer with those better teams just because of the experience that we have,” junior captain Easton Kennedy said. “From last year, we have a lot of the guys returning, which is going to help learning from the close games we had last year and the losses we had. So I think that we're going to be a lot more ready and equipped to go in those big battle games, so it should be good.” One of the Lakers strong suits last year was its defense. Detroit Lakes held its opponents to 67 total goals with seven clean sheets. Kale Witt was the team’s go-to goalie allowing 46 goals on 490 shots and finished with 444 saves. The man in the net is currently a three-kid race between sophomores Griffin Lindberg, Noah Germain, and Brayton Boit. Lindberg got his fair share of starts last season. He went 4-3 with 128 saves and surrendered 14 goals. Noah said the hot hand is in Griffin’s glove but the two other sophomores are chomping at the bit. But the defensemen will be there to keep the puck away from their net. “I'm confident in our goaltending situation,” Noah said. “It's always healthy to have internal competition within your team. We're blessed as a program to have all three of them. Defensively, from our blue line, we've got two great seniors in Jace Field and Tommy Suckert and a great 200-foot defenseman in Hudson Pettit that we're super confident that those three are going to anchor our back-end. I think they're going to give us a really good chance to win.” Section 8A is one of the best in the state. Teams like Warroad and East Grand Forks are regarded as two of the best in the state and the class. The expectations are high with the returning players Detroit Lakes has. Their reign of terror will be a direct result of everyone coming to practice with the mindset of getting better. ADVERTISEMENT “There's going to be some of those practices that absolutely suck, but you just need to get your nose on the grindstone and just get better every day so that you can come into those tougher games that we have,” senior captain Tommy Suckert said. “So you’re not like you're completely shell-shocked because our practices are just easy. We just got to work every day.” 2024-25 schedule Nov. 23 at Fergus Falls, 7 p.m. Nov. 26 at East Grand Forks, 7:30 p.m. Nov. 29 vs. St. Cloud Crush, 7 p.m. Nov. 30 at Rocori, 7:15 p.m. Dec. 6 at Thief River Falls, 7 p.m. Dec. 10 at Crookston, 7 p.m. Dec. 17 vs. Alexandria, 7 p.m. Dec. 20 at Willmar, 7 p.m. Dec. 27 at Orono, 7 p.m. Dec. 28 at Northfield, 2 p.m. Jan. 2 at Fargo Davies, 7:30 p.m. Jan. 4 at Warroad, 2:15 p.m. Jan. 7 vs. East Grand Forks, 7 p.m. Jan. 10 at Sauk Rapids-Rice, 7:15 p.m. Jan. 14 vs. Red Lakes Falls, 7 p.m. Jan. 16 vs. Brainerd, 7 p.m. Jan. 21 at West Fargo Sheyenne, 7 p.m. Jan. 24 vs. Northfield, 7 p.m. Jan. 28 at Alexandria, 7 p.m. Jan. 30 vs. Sartell, 7 p.m. Feb. 1 vs. St. Cloud Cathedral, 2 p.m. Feb. 4 vs. Bemidji, 7 p.m. Feb. 6 at Little Falls, 7 p.m. Feb. 8 vs. Hibbing, 2 p.m. Feb. 13 vs. Fergus Falls, 7 p.m.

There are several factors that may have contributed to this reversal in market sentiment. First and foremost, concerns about the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China continue to weigh on investor confidence. The uncertainty surrounding the trade negotiations and the potential impact on global economic growth have created a sense of unease among market participants.NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to top the all-time high it set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 123 points, or 0.3%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6% as Microsoft and Big Tech led the way. Stock markets abroad mostly fell after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China once he takes office. But the movements were mostly modest. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada’s main index edged down by less than 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. The consequences otherwise for markets and the global economy could be painful. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. And unlike tariffs in Trump’s first term, his latest proposal would affect products across the board. General Motors sank 9%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.3%. The value of the Mexican peso fell 1.8% against the U.S. dollar. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support for the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the economy, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed’s last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another mixed set of profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates imposed by the Fed to get inflation under control. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Kohl’s tumbled 17% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.9% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. Still, more stocks rose in the S&P 500 than fell. J.M. Smucker had one of the biggest gains and climbed 5.7% after topping analysts’ expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 3.2% for Amazon and 2.2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 34.26 points to 6,021.63. The Dow gained 123.74 to 44,860.31, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 119.46 to 19,174.30. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.29% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It’s since dipped back toward $91,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.

For years, San Francisco has been notorious for its sky-high rental prices, driven by the tech boom and limited housing supply. However, as remote work becomes more prevalent and companies decentralize their operations, the demand for rental units in San Francisco has decreased. This has led to a significant drop in rental prices, with some neighborhoods experiencing double-digit decreases in average rent. While this may come as a relief to renters in the area, it poses challenges for landlords who are now struggling to find tenants willing to pay the previously inflated prices.

Furthermore, the strong performance of the Chinese economy has also played a role in driving the demand for real estate in Beijing. With a growing middle class and rising incomes, more people are looking to invest in property as a means of wealth accumulation and asset diversification. This trend has created a dynamic market environment where buyers are eager to secure their dream homes in popular neighborhoods and sought-after developments.
