Jason Kalin knows success. He and his Superior High School boys' hockey program have lived it, breathed it for decades. Kalin himself was a part of two state championship teams as a player for the Spartans in 1990 and 1992. Superior won three more titles in 1994, 1995 and 1996. As a coach, Kalin lifted the hardware in 2003 and 2005.
