Lumberjacks Stick Close to Ile des Chenes (2-23-08)
The MSU-B Lumberjacks still had a good shot at victory heading
into the third period, down only 2-1. But the North Stars capped off the
two game sweep with a 3rd goal in the final period making the final score
3-2.
Lumberjacks Fall to Ile des Chenes 7-3 (2-22-08)
The MSU-B Lumberjacks know they are a bit overmatched by these
last two regular season opponents, both AAA Senior Canadian teams because
they are stronger, older and far more experienced. Some of the players have
seen Division I College and Pro hockey experience. But the Jacks feel they
can learn something from these veterans and improve their game by playing
them in preparation for the NJCAA finals coming up in New York in just a
week's time.
Lumberjacks Plan Blue Line Appreciation This Week (2-19-08)
The MSU-B Lumberjacks are planning special activities this
week in appreciation for the cooperative spirit and support they receive

off a late penalty to hold on for the weekend sweep."

The MSU-B Lumberjacks lost a close game tonight 4-3 to the

recent years.

the game 3-3 going into the third. But the Braves came out like gangbusters
in the third period, proving who wanted the game more. The Braves scored
6 unanswered goals in the third period, three of them within a minute between

MSU Beavers Prevail 5-4 in Rematch (2-04-08)
The MSU-B Lumberjacks scored first within 10 seconds and managed
a 3-3 tie at the end of period one, but it wasn't enough as Minot State went
on to run up a 5-4 score by the end of the second period. There was no scoring
in the third period. The first period was fast-paced and very aggressive
by both teams, as was the second period until a fight broke out mid-way through
the second period. The third period was calmer until the last couple of minutes
when tempers once again dominated reason. Three MSU players were ejected
from the game as was one Lumberjack. There were lots of penalties on both
teams beginning mid-way through the second period and lasting the rest of
the game.
Lumberjacks Look To Avenge Sat Loss Tonight (2-04-08)

Botno Braves JV Shut Out Crosby Comets (1-29-08)
The Bottineau Braves JV team had a field day Monday night as
they defeated the Crosby Comets, 5-0, a team they had barely beaten in overtime
earlier in January by a score of 5-4 (OT). The Braves raced to a 2-0 advantage
in the first period, adding another goal in the second period and two more
in the third.
In Crosby's defense, they had an arduous journey even getting
to Bottineau Monday night as temperatures dropped, the wind blew harder and
the snow accunulated in near-blizzard conditions. But, as one Crosby fan
commented, "Hey, it's winter in North Dakota."
I didn't catch who achieved the goals for the Braves, but it
was nicely spread out. Anderson recorded 30 saves for the comets while Aaron
Wendel pushed aside 14 saves for the Braves.

with the Bismarck Demons, but couldn't find the back of the net as the Demons
outshot Bottineau 50-17, cashing in on six of their shots for a final 6-0
victory over the Braves. The Braves moved the puck well and worked it down
into the Demon's zone often enough. The Demons remain undefeated in West
Region action.

team who closed to within 2-3 at the end of the second period and still had

Junior Gold team 5-4 in overtime Monday night in Crosby. The Crosby Comets
knocked in an apparent goal with seconds to go in regulation, but after discussion
between Crosby coaches and the referees, the goal was disallowed.
The Braves had a hard time finding the Crosby goal early in
the overtime period and bounced one off the pipes before scoring in the sudden
death overtime. Sorry--no report on who scored the goals or the time of the
goals. Anyone want to help me out.
Unofficial reports had Michael Kornkven and Aaron Wendel each
getting 14 saves as they shared goalie duties in their expected rotation.

Rivers and Elton MB are about 16 miles north of Brandon and
probably about 16 mi. apart as well. Each community is in the 1100-1300 population

Braves Lose Opener 10-2 (11-20-07)
The Bottineau High School Braves lost their season opening
hockey game 10-2 to the Antler River (Deloraine and area schools) Devils
Monday night. The Braves came out sluggish while the Devils seemed to be
hitting on all cylinders.
The Devils took a 2-0 lead into the first period break and
extended the lead to 5-0 midway through the 2nd period before Joe Handeland
scored a goal on an assist by Trenton Metcalfe with 6:43 left in the period.
That closed out scoring in the second period. Antler River
built their lead to 10-1 before Bottineau scored again with only 1:55 remaining
in the game. This time Metcalfe scored the goal with Handeland getting the
assist.
Both Bottineau goals were short-handed.
Lumberjacks Drop Second Game (11-18-07)

night the Jacks lost 7-2. Friday night's score was 7-3. The Jacks drop to
4-2 and look forward to playing the Minnesota Flying Aces Tuesday, Nov. 20
at Jamestown. Faceoff is at 7:00 pm.
Braves Tested at W. Region Scrimmage (11-18-07)
The Bottineau High School Braves traveled to Hazen Saturday
to meet Williston and Dickinson in pre-season scrimmage action. Because it
was a scrimmage no scores were kept in the two twenty-minute-period games.
But if scores had been kept Bottineau would have dropped the Williston game
by something like 4-2 or 5-1 and lost to Dickinson 5-0. (Parents have a hard
time agreeing on these things.) Not too much should be made of scrimmage
efforts, however as coaches are trying out younger players and mixing things
up a bit to find out what works and what doesn't. All-in-all it was a good
workout for the Braves and they came away with positive feelings.
11/10/07 Atoms Open Season With a Win in Souris
The 2007-08 Atoms defeated Souris 8-1 in their first game of
