January 26 - Happy Birthday Wayne Gretzky

Weekend Update:
The Jacks lost a pair to the St. Johns JV on the weekend. Friday night we started well and had a 2-1 lead. Unfortunately we gave up 3 goals in the last 10 mins of the game including 2 breakaways and lost 6-2. On Saturday we lost 5-2 but our downfall was we gave up a goal in the 1st minute of the 2nd and 3rd periods and an early one in the first. We played hard all weekend and the fact that more than 6 varsity guys played in each game we did ok. The Johnnies were a fast team and really buried there chances. Ryan Miner had a good weekend for us in the nets.

We were fortunate enough to have former NHL and Team Canada coach Andy Murray of the Western Michigan Broncos talk to the boys this weekend. He had a great message and Thank You Coach Murray  for all you do for the game of hockey and for being a good friend to Lumberjack Hockey.

Long Live Those Lumberjacks!!

Monday January 19

Greetings. We are coming off a busy week where we lost a pair of games to WSC 6-1 and we defeated NDSU twice to go 2-2 on the week.

WSC Games > Well we started off well playing against the Tetons and then we stopped moving our feet and they capitalized on some of our mistakes. We did not make that big play or get that big save when we needed it and then we lost some momentum when we took a few too many penalties. In Williston it was the same as the night before. We did get into a good groove in the second period and then gave up a back breaker goal with 10 seconds left in the period. We also need to do better on our PP and work harder.

NDSU Games> The guys played really well all weekend and I feel they are sick and tired of losing and they now are buying into what the coaches are trying to teach them. Everyone contributed in the wins and i am hoping this can continue into next weekend as we head to St. Johns (MN).

It was good to see some ex Lumberjacks at the games.

Long Live Those Lumberjacks!!
