Friday night, no fighting

Two more superb games of well played hockey. It's $8 for the two-game sessions, money well spent.

Tomah was mighty impressive playing Superior. Back and forth goals, with Superior showing streaks. Tomah takes the lead midway through the second, before Superior nets one ... and then another. Tomah stays with them, only down one. Five minutes into the 3rd period, Superior scores short-handed. 5-3 final.

Tomah handled their loss as well as their wins. Their crowd support was tremendous -- community, not just chanting students. I suspect we'll be seeing them again; old ethics don't die easy. And I erred in not updating my information: two seasons ago, Tomah built a new rink with the hotel taxes generated in growing Tomah/Warrens. With upgraded resources in a committed community, you can build a team of winners. Well done.

The second game was low scoring, 2-1 final in favor of Fond du Lac. It was a hard fought win, with solid shots and passing but neither team dominating. Some nifty defensive moves too. Lots of penalties, but no scoring on the power plays.

Tomorrow's championship game is on channel 27 if you're local.
