Duluth Marshall’s Brendan Flaherty honored at Mars Lakeview Arena – therinklive.com

DULUTH Duluth Marshall and Cloquet-Esko-Carlton faced off Thursday at Mars Lakeview Arena in Duluth.

The Hilltoppers lost 4-2, but the highlight of the night wasnt the hockey played, but honoring one of the driving forces behind the arenas construction.

During the first intermission, longtime Hilltoppers coach Brendan Flaherty was memorialized in a short ceremony with his family.

Flaherty died June 24 after a 3-year cancer battle and his family was presented with a colored pencil painting by Duluth artist Tim Cortes. Flahertys wife Carrie will receive the original piece, and a larger copy will hang in the mezzanine of Mars Lakeview Arena.

The painting includes Cortess reproductions of photos of Flaherty at various points in his career, with a centerpiece showing Flaherty walking through the tunnel at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
