December Update from the Coaches

December 20, 2010


Greetings from the 2010-2011 Greenwave Boys Hockey team.

A special thank you to all the members of the 1960-1961 team that were able to join us for our first annual alumni night.

The Boys hockey team is currently riding a three game winning streak after starting the season 0-2. The season started with losses to 8AA contenders Bemidji and Brainerd. On Dec. 4 playing our third game in as many days, the Wave beat Park Rapids 11-2 for our first win. Leading the way in the win was the line of Tommy Hajicek (1g -4a), Zack Lwdermilt (1g-4a) and Cory Mack (2g-2a). Scoring their first career goals were Gage Ausmus, Nick Korynta and Tyler Hajicek.

With a whole week off between games the Wave were able get some quality practices in before facing the Lake of the Woods Bears and Alex Lyons, one of the best goaltenders in the State of Minnesota. The Wave outshot the Bears 46-14, and won 4-2. Having another good night for the Wave was the line of Hajicek(2g), Mack (1g-1a) and Lawdermilt (3a). The win moved the wave to 2-2 on the season and more importantly 2-0 in Section 8A play.

Friday December 17th, saw the Waves biggest rival come to town in the Warriors from Warroad. With another full week to prepare the Wave came out flying in the first period, outshooting Warroad 10-5 while building a 3-0 lead on goals from Mack, Lawdermilt and Hajicek. That would be all the scoring the wave needed as the game would finish 3-0. With the Hajicek line providing all the scoring, the Waves defense showed its strength in holding Warroad to just 18 shots on net and helping goalie Hunter Aubol earn his first shutout of the season.

This week the Wave have two big games before the Christmas break. On Tuesday, the Wave open up the Gambucci Cup playing host to Grand Forks Central. Thursday the Wave look to stay unbeaten in Section 8A as they travel to Crookston to play the Pirates.

See you at the Rink,
