Last night the Stowe Girls Hockey Team took on the Montpelier Solons, the number 2 team in D. II Girls Hockey. Some of you maybe wondering why I would write about the Stowe Girls Hockey Team, and some of you may know why.
4 of the 12 Lady Raiders are girls from PA: Senior Defensive player SM, Senior Goalie MG, Junior Forward KH, and Sophomore Forward ST. All contributed in the win against the stacked Solons. The game ended 5-3. MG made some great saves, KH had a goal, ST had an assist, and SM had probably the best goal of the game: The puck was loose in front of the Solons net and she skated through, fell to her knees and as she was sliding through the middle, shot the puck low past the Solons netminder from her knees. The crowd went wild.
If you haven't been to a game, Jackson Arena is a great old-fashioned "outdoor" rink where the announcer keeps the cold air filled with classic rock tunes in between whistles and Mike Manning (SHS Alumni) makes some of the best ice in the county, but more than that, the Lady Raiders play inspiring hockey that is incredibly fun to watch. Next Saturday is their last home game and senior night. Come on out and support the Ladies as they try and secure a high seed for the playoffs. Wear something VERY warm. Check back for the face-off time.
