Postgame interview gets Wayzata player some national attention

Last week’s Minnesota high school hockey tournament has been manna from Heaven for national talk show hosts.

First there was hockey hair, and now it’s Wayzata High School senior Mark Senden getting love from Jimmy Kimmel this week for an epic interview after his team’s semifinal win on Friday night, enroute to the Class 2A title.

Even Senden is joining in.
