Scribbles from the Snowy Soo
February 15, 2013 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Soo Eagles News Release
By Randy Russon - Miki Media
If you don't like snow, then you probably shouldn't live in a cold-weather outpost. Snow -- like junior hockey -- is a mainstay for months of wintery weather that residents of the nippy north live by.
Methinks the style of play in the North American Hockey League is just as fast, furious and appealing as what the Ontario Hockey League has to offer.
I have taken in a significant number of NAHL games this season and the skill level and end-to-end action has been eye-popping. To be sure, one or two of the games I have watched have been clunkers but hiccups happen in every league, even the pro ranks.
I watched the Soo Eagles play host to the Jamestown Ironmen on Saturday night in a thriller of a contest. The Eagles won 5-1 but three of the goals came with less than five minutes to play in the third period, including two empty-netters.
