Few have been around the game of hockey as long as Scott Parker has.

The Tripplers can attest to that. Scott Trippler played on the first team Parker coached at Chippewa Falls High School during the 1987-88 season. Now his son Blake plays for Parker on this year’s squad.

The Chippewa Falls boys varsity coach has coached the Cardinals for 30-plus years, serving as a teacher of the game for generations of Chi-Hi students.
