Dubuque Fighting Saints News Release
DUBUQUE, Iowa - The Fighting Saints will play Team USA (USNTDP U18) tonight at the Mystique Community Ice Center, starting a stretch of three games in three days. The last time they were on the ice, the Fighting Saints grabbed two points with a comeback win over the Sioux Falls Stampede in South Dakota, scoring four goals in just over three minutes late in the third period.
Team USA splits their USHL schedule between two squads, with the U17 Team playing thirty games, and the U18 Team handling the other half of the sixty-game slate. Through twenty-eight games, Team USA has compiled thirty-one points, which is good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. *Thomas DiPauli*, who has tallied nine points over the course of twelve games, leads the scoring attack for the U18 squad.
The Fighting Saints will go to Cedar Rapids tomorrow night in search of their fifth win against the RoughRiders this season. On Saturday, the Indiana Ice travel to Dubuque for what will be an important intra-conference game for both teams. The Fighting Saints will play another three games in three days next week, playing at Youngstown, in Ann Arbor against Team USA, and in Muskegon on consecutive nights.
Tonight's game will be played in conjunction with "Zombieland" at the Mystique Community Ice Center. Fans are encouraged to dress up as zombies for a costume contest, there will be a "brain-eating contest" during the first intermission, and zombie-themed music will punctuate the evening.
Pregame coverage begins at 6:40 on Dubuque's Super Hits 106 and SuperHits106.com.
