Over the February 4th to 6th weekend, the men’s hockey team took part in the Jog Athletics Winter Classic in St. Louis, Missouri. On Saturday, February 5 they played on the outdoor rink at the Centene Community Ice Center against Davenport University. Co-Captain Parker Morgan said it was a great experience for his team and added, “it brought back memories of playing on the outdoor rinks growing up. We enjoyed the atmosphere and were excited to win the game.”

The Cougars finished the weekend with a 1-1-1 record, starting with a 4-1 loss against Lindenwood University, battling back to a 4-3 win over Davenport University, and finishing with a 5-5 tie after overtime against the University of Cincinnati. Goals were scored by Jordan Ritchie, Jace Pitawanakwat, Chuck Webb (2), Caleb Wood (2), Noah Boman, Hunter Buzzi (2) and Kyle Finateri.

Sault College heads into the ACHA Division 2 Regionals with a 8-4-3 record. Head Coach Mike Hall is looking forward to his team’s performance in Wisconsin later this month. “We are eager to get the opportunity to participate in Regionals this year. We have faced many barriers this year with the pandemic and are excited to possibly attend regionals with a full lineup for the first time this season. As a group, we would like to thank the school for their unwavering support and commitment to the hockey program and the patience and understanding of the ACHA and the member teams. We have an opportunity to play a few more games with the possibility of returning to Nationals and our team is committed to represent our school to the best of their abilities. Onward to Wisconsin!”
