BYRON, Minn. — Southeast Minnesota may not be the typical area that comes to mind when you think of Minnesota hockey, but Brody Lamb from the small town of Byron is helping to change that after falling in love with the game at an early age.
"The backyard rink, I had a rink when I was little," Lamb said of how he came to love the game.
"My dad played hockey so it kinda got me into it when I was really young, probably three years old."
Ten minutes outside of Rochester, the town of Byron has a population of just under 6,500. A town big enough to have a solid community, and for kids to really get to know one another as they figure out life together.
"Our group of players kind of grew up together," said Lamb.

"We had a strong group all the way through so we kind of got all the way up to the cities and up north and got to play those stronger teams and compete with them, so I think that was good, and I just liked growing up in a small town," he said. "Like I said our team stuck together from squirts to high school."
