Girls best DL, 7-Zip

By Tom Obert
Cub Reporter

The Cardinal girls hockey team overcame a hot Laker goalie tonight at the RCC and ran away in the 3rd period, defeating Detroit Lakes 7-0.

Youth night

It was a coming out party for many of the younger Cards - both the 2nd and 3rd lines played well and a partial 4th line received some playing time. Several times in the 3rd period the team had two 8th-grade defensemen on the ice at the same time, and sophomore forward Stacey Paulzine had two goals and just missed a hat trick on a late breakaway (Stacey's Mom, Deb, cuts the hair of Diehard Fans Ruthie and Vivian).
The team also got two goals from defensemen, senior Ashley Holmes (player of the game with also two assists) and sophomore Beth Rindy.

When the Oberts entered the arena tonight they caught Sue Justice photographing her daughter, Danielle (who pitched the shutout in goal), with Courtney Walsh's parents receiving the Courtney Walsh Spirit Award (Sue, please correct me if I'm wrong here). See photo.

Later in the game, voice of the Cardinals, Dave Harris (who plugged the Class of '65 blogsite on the air), obviously looking to kill some air time, invited the cub reporter and the cub reporter-in-training, Bob Annen, to join him on KXRA between the 2rd and 3rd periods to talk about the team and the Diehard Fans.

To our knowledge, no FCC rules were violated, and the pair was doubtless hugely entertaining to Radio Dave's ever expanding hockey audience.

The Cards now take off on a tough road trip this weekend.
They will play at Grand Rapids Friday night and then at Hibbing Saturday afternoon. They will be back home next Tuesday to play Brainerd.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Cub Reporter hope to be on the road to Indiana by 5 a.m. tomorrow. A Happy Thanksgiving to all!
