Owatonna Comeback Falls Short
After jumping out to a 3-0 lead, Northfield held on to top Owatonna 3-2 Thursday night at the Northfield Ice Arena in a non-conference boys hockey game. The teams will meet for a third time on Saturday, March 6 at Four Seasons in Owatonna at 7:30 pm. The Huskies beat the Raiders 4-3 on Dudley Otto Rink earlier this season.
Raider Carson VanZuilen scored three straight goals, midway through the first, early in the second and again midway through the second period. Owatonna went on a major power play late in the second after a hit knocked the Huskies Casey Pederson from the game.
Goals Aplenty as Owatonna Sweeps Century
Owatonna hockey players shared the wealth on Tuesday in a sweep of Rochester Century. The OHS boys prevailed 9-2 at Graham Arena with ten players getting at least one point. Ashton Hoffman scored his first varsity goal. Eleven players had at least a point in the girls 8-0 victory over Century/JM at Four Seasons Centre.

It s safe to say the Panthers reign atop the Big Nine Conference boys hockey standings is over. Century has won the last three league titles, but Tuesday was their fourth straight loss. Owatonna has finished second in the conference standings the last two seasons and was third three seasons ago.
