The CIS No. 6 Lakehead Thunderwolves mens hockey team head to Waterloo, Ontario for another huge series against the No. 4 Laurier Golden Hawks this Friday and Saturday at the Sun Life Financial Arena.
Lakehead has a 16-4-1-1 record (22-9-1-1 overall); good for third in the OUA Far West; one point behind second place Western and three points behind the first place Hawks. Laurier has an 18-4-1 record in OUA play.
Lakehead is coming off two home losses to No. 10 Waterloo while Laurier is coming off an 8-0 mauling of Windsor and a big 5-4 win over No. 9 Western.
Lakehead Head Coach Don McKee said his team faces a stiff test this weekend. Laurier is definitely one of the most powerful teams in the OUA. They are strong from the net out but it is their offensive power that makes them the best team in the OUA West. It will be a big challenge for our players to rise to their level on the ice as Laurier appears to have peaked at the right time in the schedule.
Both games face off at 7:30 pm EST in Waterloo and fans can listen to the games live in Thunder Bay on Rock94 FM radio and online at www.rock94.com. Rock94 Sports Director Bryan Wyatt will be calling the action live.
