The Eagles Hockey team put up a great fight Wednesday night but fell short as they fell to GR Catholic Central 0-1. Brayden Melinn played well in the net only letting one get by him. An untimely 5-minute major resulting in a DQ in the first period left the Eagles short-handed and down a player on their already smaller roster, but they battled hard throughout the game. Credit to the defenseman and Coach Carden and Coach Fitzgibbon for making extremely positive adjustments from the first two games, allowing the team to break out of their zone time and time again. Unfortunately, this drops the Eagles to a 1-2 record and 0-1 in the league. Up next will be Byron Center, another league team tomorrow night at 8:40 pm at Eagles Ice Center. Hope to see you there! Thanks to all the fans who came out to cheer us on last game.
