Episode 6: Northwoods Wrestling on the Rise

This Christmas Day episode is packed with stories, highlights, and a whole lot of Minnesota wrestling spirit.

We kick things off by breaking down the week’s top match highlights from across Minnesota, big performances, standout duals, and the moments that caught our attention on the mats.

After that we spotlight a story from Babbitt, Minnesota, where Northeast Range/Ely is building something special in what has traditionally been hockey country. Head coach Adam Hagen joins us to share how he launched the program, the challenges of starting from scratch in a remote corner of the state, and the momentum they’re building in just their second season.

And in the middle of it all, we bring in a little holiday cheer with fun messages from some Staples-Motley wrestlers.

Whether you're celebrating with family, traveling to a holiday tournament, or just relaxing at home, we hope this episode brings you a smile and keeps you connected to the wrestling community we all love.

🎄 Merry Christmas from Matside Minnesota!
Thanks for listening, supporting, and being part of this growing statewide wrestling family.
