"We got off to a slow start, but eventually found our way back to LumberJill hockey.  I've been proud of all the work our program has put in on and off the ice. I'm happy that they have been rewarded with a three game home stand win streak for all their efforts thus far. We look forward to taking this momentum into next weekend against Superior. We are also very excited for Pride Night on Friday. We look forward to hosting a great event in conjunction with the Northland College Alliance." Said Head Coach Kelly Rider after the game.
