Not many rinks in the world that greet you with a view like this when you walk out the door. This was the sunset after practice yesterday at the Dee.

Last home practice for this incredible group of young men who were happy to “max out”’the days they could be together at the Dee. Tomorrow the leave for the long ride to Plymouth and their effort to make everyone proud back home.

Who has a principal as cool as the Gremlins? Principal Scullion is at every game to cheer us on. Today she gave the starting lineups for our teacher appreciation game and she knocked it out of the park!

Cage match in Calumet. Gremlins survive with a 2-1 win. A really exciting hockey game in front of a packed Coliseum crowd. Both teams played their hearts out.

The warrior game featuring our UP Veteran team vs a Minnesota team was a huge success. A hard fought entertaining game was highlighted by highly decorated, 93 yr old, WW2 Vet Joseph Anrietti’s pregame speech and puck drop along with money raised for sled hockey.
Gremlins pull out a huge 2-1 Overtime win. Houghton held onto a 1-0 lead until Bayport evened it with 4 seconds left in the third. The Gremlins show their “R” factor in a heavy, playoff style battle.

Here’s Landon Stevens first career Junior A goal from earlier this season! The 2005 born forward now has 12 points in his first 17 games for the Soo Eagles of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League.

Gremlins drop a tough one to a strong Notre Dame Academy team. The boys gave everything they had but ran out of gas. We’ll learn some lessons and regroup.
