Goaltender Kaden Grant says his Verona boys hockey team is exactly where it wants to be: back in the WIAA state tournament.

And the rest of the Wildcats program has Grant right where they want him to be: between the pipes and sharply focused.

“Our No. 1 goal is to win a state championship,” Grant said. “So far, we are right where we want to be as a team.”

The junior cemented his status as one of the state’s top goalies during the state fifth-ranked Wildcats’ 23-4-0 season. Grant has a 22-4 record and a .938 save percentage, saving 529 shots and allowing 1.41 goals per game.
