HUSKIES MEN’S HOCKEY RECAP:
It’s been a while since the Men’s hockey team had played a game, with their weekend series in Trinity Western postponed due to the extreme cold weather. With that unexpected extra break, Saskatchewan came out of the gates flying with a dominant 10-0 victory on Friday night against MacEwan. Nine different players scored for Saskatchewan with Dawson Holt picking up two goals on the night and Jordon Kooy registering the shutout. Saturday wasn’t much different as MacEwan found the back of the net twice, but the Huskies were able to do so seven times on their way to a 7-2 victory and weekend sweep of MacEwan. Saskatchewan returns home for a crucial weekend series against the Alberta Golden Bears.
