Minnesota Wilderness News Release
Three games over six days in Cloquet will conclude a 5-game set between the Minnesota Wilderness and Wisconsin Windigo. The two squads will face off Friday and Saturday nights (Nov. 22-23) and again Nov. 27 at Northwoods Credit Union Arena.
The Windigo and Wilderness played the first two games of this extended regular season series at the Windigo's home in Eagle River, WI, last weekend (Nov. 15-16). Wisconsin benefited from 8 goals from Braydon Beahm over the weekend series to claim 6-3 and 6-5 victories.
The results of those games, plus a 5-4 Sept. 20 win over the Wilderness, gives Wisconsin a 3-0 advantage in the season series.
This weekend also features the last three players to claim the Midwest Division Star of the Week award. Beahm claimed the prize for his goal scoring prowess last weekend, and he followed up Minnesota's Payton Struck, who won the award for his performance at Anchorage 8-10, while the Wilderness' Ferry Netusil was named the winner for his contribution in a sweep at Kenai River Nov. 1-2.
All games are scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m. The games Nov. 22-23 will be part of Military Appreciation Weekend, where the Wilderness will wear special military themed jerseys and all active and retired military can attend at no charge.
