The Mona Shores Sailors Hockey Team is extremely proud to host the annual Stan Konrad Memorial Tournament.
Stan Konrad, a native of Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada, came to Muskegon in 1960 as a 22 year old to play for the Muskegon Zephyrs in the International Hockey League. Stan’s career in pro hockey with the Zephyrs continued through the 1965 season and he is still regarded as one of the best to wear a Muskegon uniform. Stan Konrad still ranks in the top 10 in games played, goals scored, assists, and total points.
Stan Konrad stayed in Muskegon after his playing career, and in 1974 became coach of the Mona Shores High School Hockey Club. Over a three-year period, from 1975 to 1977, Konrad’s teams put together an astonishing league record of 47-4-4. The Sailors were league champions in 1976 and 1977. In addition, Mona Shores won the league’s annual holiday tournament under Konrad in each of his three coaching seasons.
More important to Stan than his accomplishments in hockey was his wife, Peggy and their children, Jim and Kay.
Our deepest appreciation to the Konrad family for allowing us to share in the memory of Stan, who passed away on November 23, 1990.
