Luverne High School graduate Jaxon Nelson is headed to the Frozen Four college hockey playoffs with the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers team next week.
Jaxon, a junior forward, tallied a pair of assists in Minnesota’s NCAA opener — including the overtime session that bounced defending national champion Massachusetts Friday.
“It was the best feeling I’ve had playing sports,” Nelson told the Star Herald Monday.
“Getting the opportunity for a chance to win it all with the best group of guys is something special.”
The Gophers faced a Massachusetts team that was 22-12-2 this season and won 94 games over the past four years. Nelson said beating UMass 4-3 was a morale booster for the team.
“After playing UMass and realizing how hard it was to beat them and they were the defending national champions, we knew we were going to win,” he said.
His mom, Jennifer Nelson, Magnolia, was at the suspenseful overtime game.
“He told me after the game he knew they were going to win,” she said. “I told him that would have been helpful to know while I was holding my breath in the stands. I was just dying.”
Minnesota later shut out Western Michigan 3-0 Sunday night in the regional final to punch its ticket to the NCAA Frozen Four for the 22nd time and first since 2014.
At 6-4 and 225 pounds, Nelson is considered a strong player who factors into Minnesota's power plays and penalty kills in addition to being a regular offensive contributor, according to Gopher sports information.
Nelson was on the ice for Minnesota’s third goal against Michigan when Blake McLaughlin scored a shorthanded tally in a 6-on-4 situation with the WMU net empty.
Coach Bob Motzko characterizes Nelson as playing a “200-foot game,” meaning he plays both ends of the ice arena effectively both offensively and defensively.
“He’s grown and matured so much as a player since we first saw him on the ice with the (Luverne) Cardinals,” he said. “We know he can go out and play against the top lines for other teams, and we count on him in just about every game situation.”
Nelson said Motzko kept calm during the game, but celebrated with the players after the win.
“He just told us to keep playing and we did just that, but afterward he was ecstatic,” Nelson said. “He was proud of us all and the way we played and battled all weekend. It was a great birthday present for him.”
Nelson missed 13 games earlier in the season with an injured ankle, and the team encountered other challenges, losing a goalie and operating without some teammates who competed in the Olympics.
The overall impact on the team, however, was minimal, Nelson said.
“I think in the end, it all made us a better team. I think we are better because of it,” he said.
“It taught us how to deal with adversity, and some players had to step up in those situations. … It grew the whole team.”
Since returning after his injury, Nelson hasn’t missed a beat, with points in four of the last six games leading up to last weekend’s playoffs.
However, he credits the whole team for the season’s successes to date.
“It took a lot of hard work and dedication to playing the right way,” Nelson said. “Everyone bought into their role and everyone is playing the right way right now.”
When asked if he thinks the Gophers will win the championship, Nelson was optimistic.
“I think we can, yes. If we play the way we played this past weekend, it’s going to be hard to beat us,” Nelson said.
“It’s going to be a revenge game against Mankato and it’s going to be a war. Last year they ended our season, and I think now we know what it is going to take to play for it all.”
Minnesota has now earned its 22nd NCAA Frozen Four berth and will look to win its sixth national championship (1974, 1976, 1979, 2002, 2003).
The Gophers open the Frozen Four on Thursday, April 7, in Boston against Minnesota State Mankato, who reached finals by beating Notre Dame in a 1-0 nail biter Saturday.
Jaxon graduated from Luverne High School in 2018 and is the son of Jennifer Nelson, Magnolia, and Chad Nelson, Magnolia.
He is pursuing a degree in supply chain management and operations at the U of M’s Carlson School of Management, Minneapolis.

Hills-Beaver Creek Elementary students are enjoying a popular outdoor game, thanks to the Patriot Millworks high school woodworking class.
Last year’s Millworks students hinged together eight wood panels for a 25-foot elementary school gaga pit.
The finished pit was finally put into place March 16, to the excitement of the K-5 students.
“The students knew we were getting it earlier this year because we started playing it (Gaga) in gym class,” said physical education teacher Darin DeBoer.
“This way they know all the rules and we’re ready to play it outside on the playground.”
Gaga (a Hebrew word meaning ‘touch touch’) is played in the pit with a ball as a variant on the popular game of dodgeball.
The game combines dodging, striking, running and jumping with the objective of being the last person standing. Players hit the ball at each other with their hands and are eliminated if the ball strikes them on or below the knee.
The district purchased the pit’s metal corner pieces this fall to anchor the pit to the playground’s surface
This year’s Millworks students made improvements to the wooden walled gaga pit, including a redesign.
“The Patriot Millworks class for period six rebuilt the panels by attaching the new corners,” said instructor Chris Louwagie.
“Safety measures that were taken include countersinking the bolts so they don’t stick out past the wood planks, and we also sanded any of the planks where there were splinters or chipped boards.”
Junior Brock Harnack suggested a redesign to students having to step into the pit.
“He thought we could make it handicap-accessible,” Louwagie said. “This is why there is a door in the middle of the one panel.”
A rubber safety mat arrived shortly after the first of the year, with the maintenance staff fully assembling the complete Gaga pit during the warmer weather.
“It gives students another option to do things on the playground,” DeBoer said. “We have had to limit the number of students in the pit because everyone wants to play it.”

Sanford Health partnered with Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Luverne Friday to host a free camp for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors.
The event gave students an idea of what it would be like to work in the health care field, specifically as medical assistants and surgical technologists, and also an idea of what college life might look like.
Students spent part of the camp at Sanford Luverne and the other part at the Minnesota West Luverne Center.
The goal was to get students interested in the health care industry to support a labor market that is currently short on those workers.
By reaching out to high school students, both Sanford and Minnesota West are trying to reach students at a younger age to gain their interest earlier.

The city of Luverne will buy the Rock Motor Sports property, and Rock Motor Sports will buy the former Farm Store property in a series of land purchases along Highway 75.
In a closed session at their Tuesday, March 22, meeting, City Council members agreed to pay Bill Aanenson $200,000 for the property.
It's a 34,000-square-foot lot (about one quarter of an acre) that had been appraised at $118,000.
Aanenson had approached the city about selling his property in order to facilitate purchasing the new space for his business.
“As a business we have outgrown our available space, and I was considering options to enlarge my current location and space,” he said.
“I had considered two options by either adding on to the existing shop or build a separate building to accommodate future growth. When the Farm Store announced that it was closing its operation, it presented an opportunity to expand the business to the former Farm Store location.”       
The council agreed to buy the Aanenson lot if the city could buy Gary Golla’s property behind Rock Motor Sports. This would square off city-owned property (former Sharkee’s lot) all the way to Hatting Street.
“It was like a three-legged stool,” said Mayor Pat Baustian. “We would buy property from Billy and Billy would buy the Farm Store property.”
Golla was a willing seller to both the Aanensons and to the city, which is paying $60,000 for the one-acre lot to the east.
“The council saw this as a positive development for Highway 75. We all knew that Billy Aanenson and Rock Motor Sports were pinched for space and he was looking to grow,” Baustian said.
“I guess that’s where our whole partnership with him came into play. His property that we acquired paired up well with our other Highway 75 property that we’ll have highway 75 frontage for.”
Rock Motor Sports will enlarge its retail display area featuring the Exmark, Ariens, Honda and Echo lines of equipment, and use more inside storage for new equipment and customer machines.  
The business has one full-time employee but may hire another as it grows into the new space.  
Meanwhile, Real Estate Retrievers will move into the former True Value building next to the Farm Store frontage property.
“They have also outgrown their current locations with the addition of several new agents,” Aanenson said.
“We both look forward to the opportunities that this move will make and appreciate the support the community has given us in the past.”
The city will close on the Aanenson property May 18. It will be cleaned up over the summer and held for future development.
