Madness ends for hockey boys

Fall to Little Falls, 3-1

The Alexandria Hockey Boys came up one game short of following the girls to the state tournament last night. They lost 3 - 1 to Little Falls in the finals of the section at the MAC in St. Cloud. The cub reporter listened to Dave Harris's coverage on KXRA.
The game sounded very much like the regular season game at Alex earlier this year - in that game Alex had more shots but lost 6 - 4. In last night's game, the play sounded very even, with Alex having a 32 - 29 shot advantage, but Little Falls was the conference champs because of one superior line that scores when the opportunity presents itself.
And unfortunately for the future, the stars on that Flyer line are a freshman and a sophomore - both of whom are all-staters. The Cards can be proud that after a slow start they won 8 of their last 9 games, including their last 5 in a row. While the hockey guys get ready to transition to golf, we'll be ready now to follow the boys basketball team, which could end up as the No. 2 seed in their section behind Elk River.
