Indiana Ice News Release
HOCKEY SPLIT: The Ice earned a pair of points on the weekend as the team split contests with the Youngstown Phantoms and the Western Conference-leading Omaha Lancers. Jason Pawloski stopped 20 of 21 shots and Jason Salvaggio, Joshua Jacobs and Jacob Pritchard found the back of the net as the Ice netted a 3-1 victory Friday night over Youngstown from the Covelli Centre. The Lancers scored three unanswered third period goals to edge Indy 3-2 Saturday night from Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Scott Conway and Tyler Pham recorded lamplighters in the tilt while Pawloski made 20 saves between the pipes.
FOR OLE GLORY: Ice defenseman Joshua Jacobs and Equipment Manager Darrin Flinchem will be taking a brief hiatus from the Indy bench as both were selected to represent the United States at the World Jr. A Challenge in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia from November 4-10. This will be Jacobs' first trip to this challenge while Flinchem has been selected all seven years the United States has participated in the event, earning four gold medals in the process.
