HOCKEY HISTORY IS MADE ... HOCKEY IS HERE For the first time at L.L.W., the Devils incorporate another sport — hockey. What a team! What a year! The excitement was endless and the atmosphere intense. Being the first year high school hockey team, the Devils can be very proud of the record. They ended their regular season with 11 wins and 9 losses. The Devils finished off by competing in the Region 16 tournament. They won the first game against Lake Linden in overtime, 5-4. Reved up and ready to do, IHS was on top again in game 2, defeating Jeffers, 4-2. The tension built and spirits soared as the IHS icers stepped up to the championship round and took on the Calumet Kings. Although the Devils were beaten, 9-1, the game was a sight to see! Mark Huhta, in the nets for the Devils, managed to stop 86 of the 95 shots on goal. As quoted to be the “Sophomore Sensation,” he broke the Lake Superior Conference record for the number of saves during playoffs. Dave Ramme, the 1 scorer on the team, tipped in the only goal for the Red Devils, with the help of Derek Hookana, the 2 scorer, and Larry Lapachin. The high school hockey program got off to a fantastic start. The players mixed and matched, ranging from Freshmen to Seniors. Many will be returning and improving in the years to come, creating that magical mirage on ice. We must say goodbye to four senior stars, Neil, Phil, Aaron, and Thane. We wish them luck in their future hockey endeavors and thank them for sharing their talents. We’re looking forward to continuing this program and as quoted by Coach Blooming, “With the addition of a few more players and along with the returning regulars, the Devils should pick up where they left off this season.” Congratulations to all the members of the Red Devils hockey team and coaches and a thanks to the fan support we had this year! Good luck in future years. 12 1st Row: Mark Huhta, Brent Martilla, Neil Gilbertson, Aaron Johnson, Thane Storck, Phil Mackinder, Dave Ramme, John Jurasin. 2nd Row: Asst.
