Well we went up to the UP in Michigan to play Finlandia JV. Coach Hanson has a good squad and they played well. Friday we tied 3-3. I thought we came out hard and dominated the 1st period and then Finlandia came out and played much better and clawed there way back into it. We scored a late one to salvage a tie. It was good to see Danny Hosmer and CJ Westlake get there first collegiate goals. On Saturday we lost 5-1. I do not think we came ready to play. Our meetings and game plan was a good one but guys seemed to want to do there own thing and we really did not get things rolling. We took too many poor penalties and we never really played our game, it was individuals games out there. I have not seen a team like ours in many years who gets along off the ice but there seems to be a disconnect on the ice. We need to do a better job of our leaders and best players stepping up and leading this team.On the way home we helped a stranded motorist who was in the ditch on highway 2 in ND. It is always good to give back and help people when they need it.
Up next we have Williston State in our Region 13 play-offs. It is going to be some good hockey and it starts this Wednesday on the road in Williston. Game time is 7 PM. The next game in the series will be at the Lumberdome at 7:30 Tuesday February 11. Long Live Those Lumberjacks!!
