First Hockey Day in the Twin Saults a Resounding Success

Last Saturday, a crowd of 3,166 witnessed the Laker hockey team clinch the team's second consecutive WCHA playoff berth with a 4-1 victory over Alabama-Huntsville. What was truly unique about this night is that the game was played in Sault, Ontario at GFL Memorial Gardens. Athletic Director David Paitson said "It was a great opportunity to celebrate our shared hockey heritage, connect with new audiences, and provide our students, alumni, and Laker fans with a unique experience."
