11/22/2019 0 Comments The Girls Hockey Season has BegunBy: Raechel Painovich
The girls hockey season has begun, Julia Matson and Raechel Painovich are the only two girls at Hinckley-Finlayson High School making the long commute to Moose Lake every day whether it’s for practices or games. The varsity team is 2-3 as of right now and played the St. Francis Saints last night and pulled out a hard fought victory with a score of 4-3. Their coach, Chris Gamst explains that this year the team gained a lot of young girls from the 12u team, and sustained 4 highly competitive seniors which makes the team an all around very skilled and a fun team to coach. So far this season the team as played a total of 5 games, and has competed at a high level at every game. Losing 3 out of the 5 games but with close scores such as, 2-1, 4-2, and 2-1. Raechel Painovich has played defense for the past 4 games and switched to forward last night as a center and gained a point by giving an assist to their power play goal. Julia Matson plays on the JV squad, and their season hasn’t been as successful, as they have a lot of new skaters joining the team. Last night, there was not a JV game because St. Francis didn’t have a team. In the future, both teams are looking to come out with more victories as their game schedule is getting more difficult as they are facing teams that don’t usually appear in their schedule. This weekend the girls Varsity and Junior Varsity play at 1:00 and 3:00 against Litchfield/Dassel Cokato at their home arena in Moose Lake. This team is 2-1 and will be very good competition for the Moose Lake Area Rebels. The assistant coach, Nate Painovich, comments that this game is very important as their record will either be 3-3 or 4-2 which will make a huge difference in making the season a losing or tying one. Although the 30 minute drive may seem long to spectators, the team is going to put fourth a hard fought game that will be fun to watch. The girls would greatly appreciate if fans would come out to support their game.
