Coming off of a win against Stow in their previous game, the hockey team was looking to carry momentum into their match against Lakewood. Unfortunately, the momentum was short-lived.
The Canes started Jason Edmonds, Aaron Wrost, Jacob Peña, Colin Pope, Ian Krall, and Derek Wrost.
In a back-and-forth defensive battle, both teams struggled to score in the first period. However, Lakewood managed their first goal on a power play near the conclusion of the period, leading 1-0.
In the second period, Aaron Wrost scored the tying goal for the Canes, but the tie did not last too long as the Rangers scored two more goals before the period was over, bringing the score to 3-1.
The third and final period was not favorable to the Canes as the Rangers outscored them 7-0, winning the game 10-1.
The Hurricanes did their best, as they were down a very valuable player. Their defense wore down and the offense struggled.
Senior Riley Beni said, “…We’ve had our ups and downs, but we work as a team, so I think we will get better.”
Coach Mike Wrost stated, “When we scored a goal, our team kinda let up a little bit, and Lakewood did not. We couldn’t get the puck past our blue line and that’s what led to them scoring the other seven goals.”
The next game will be on Saturday, January 25, against the Stow High School Bulldogs.
The match will begin at 6:45. Good luck, Canes!
