It was a busy weekend for local junior hockey teams as both the Lumberjacks and Norsemen were playing. Both teams had home games, with the Norsemen hosting the Minotauros of Minot, and the Lumberjacks were hosting their rival from Alexandria with a home-and-home series. Here’s how the weekend went, and what to expect this weekend for both teams.
Norsemen Got A Point Against Minot
The St. Cloud Norsemen came into the weekend with a chance at moving up in the standings in the NAHL Central Division. Minot came in and skated away with 3 of a possible 4 points, winning on Friday night 2-0, and then needing an extra period on Satruday night. The Minotauros won 4-3 in OT, which gave the Norsemen a point.
What’s ahead for the Norsemen? They look for redemption as they will be in Minot this weekend for a 2-game series. Currently, the Norsemen are sitting in 5th place with an overall record of 6-6-3-0. Minot’s record is 5-7-1-2 going into this weekend’s series.
Lumberjacks Still Unbeaten, Move To 12-0
The Granite City Lumberjacks are 12-0 on the season after two big wins against NA3HL West Division rival Alexandria.
On Friday night, the Lumberjacks were in Alexandria facing the Blizzard. The ‘Jacks won 6-3 in regulation. On Saturday, they needed extra time, but the end was the same, as the Lumberjacks skated away with a 4-3 OT win.
So far this season, the Lumberjacks are a perfect 12-0-0-0. The Blizzard are now 7-5-1-1 on the year.
Coming up this weekend, the Lumberjacks will be in Mason City taking on the Toros. Friday night puck drop from Iowa is scheduled for 7:10 p.m., and Saturday’s game time is set for 6:30 p.m. The Toros are in 2nd place in the West, behind the Lumberjacks, with a record of 8-4-4-0.
