CLOQUET, Minn. – After a heart-breaking end to his high school career, Hermantown hockey captain Joey Pierce has laced up the skates again and is now playing junior hockey with the Minnesota Wilderness.
The UMD commit joined the team last week and plans to finish out the season with them. Pierce has played for the Wilderness before and is excited to be playing hockey once again.
“I’m getting the Juniors experience, but I get to live at home still which is great. And I’m getting better playing against bigger, faster, stronger guys. After our season ended, it was pretty emotional so it was good to be able to get on the ice again and have an escape that helps for sure. So it’s nice to be able to get the skates back on,” Pierce said.
