The Owls received some good news earlier this week as Nick Cafrelli was voted the Minnesota Junior Hockey League Most Valuable Player. Nick already has won the Blaine Jaycees Owl Star of the Year award with an amazing 31 points in the teams 24 home games.
The team has a very difficult test the first week of the playoffs as they take on a team that will be ready to play them in the Wisconsin Mustangs. The Owls defeated the Owls four times at home, four times in Spooner, and once at the Super Rink. Some Owls fans would think that it will be an easy two game sweep. Don't let the 7-0 mark against the Mustangs fool you. The Mustangs were in EVERY game. The Owls won three of the games in a shootout, two more by one goal, one by two goals, and one by three goals.
This series is going to come down to goaltending and both teams have some dandy's. Cafrelli is going to want to prove to everyone that he is the best goalie in the league and continue to play great!!! The Mustangs goalies are going to want to slam the door on the Owls and move on as well.
A reminder if the Owls win two rounds of the playoffs they are automaticall going to the National Tournament as the top two playoff teams go to the dance.
The Owls play Friday in Spooner and then home on Saturday night at 7:30pm at David C. Johnson Arena in Isanti. If a game three is needed the Owls will travel to Spooner on Sunday. SHOW UP AND CHEER ON YOUR OWLS!!!
