It was a mixed bag of results over the weekend as both area junior hockey teams were in action. The St. Cloud Norsemen had just one game, which was on the road in Mason City, Iowa, while the Granite City Lumberjacks had two games, against two different teams on the road. Here’s a recap of the weekend, and a look at what’s ahead for the post-Thanksgiving weekend.

The St. Cloud Norsemen were in action Saturday night in Mason City, Iowa, taking on the North Iowa Bulls. The Norsemen skated away with a win, making the long drive back a little more pleasant. The final score on Saturday night was 4-2. Scoring for the Norsemen were:

6 Photos You Won’t Believe Were Taken In Minnesota
After having spent the greater part of the last three weeks outside Minnesota, it has been great to be back. We live in a very beautiful part of the country. From the North Shore’s jagged cliffs to the rolling croplands of southern Minnesota and to the driftless area near Preston, our state is filled with beautiful sights. I managed to find 6 photos that were taken right here in Minnesota, but when you look at them, you’d think they were taken somewhere else completely. Let’s enjoy the land of 10,000 photos, shall we?
