HOCKEY

Thursday night the RIA was the site of the Hodags last regular season home game as Rhinelander hosted the Wausau East/Merrill co-op team.

The vast majority of the game took place on the East/Merrill end of the ice as the shots on goal went heavily in the Hodags favor with a 67-7 advantage in that category.  The Hodags scored more goals than E/M had shots. The final score was 8-0. Joey Belanger scored three times in the game, Leo Losch scored twice, Zach Edyvean, Finn Tulowitzky and Gavin Lorman each scored a goal. Lorman scored the final goal of the game with his first varsity goal. Johnny Turek got the first shutout for the Hodags stopping all seven shots he faced.
