After dropping a pair of one-goal games to Wasilla during the regular season, the Lynx got on the right side of a 2-1 decision Saturday.
WASILLA — After suffering a pair of close losses at the hands of Wasilla this season, the Dimond boys hockey team finally got on the right side of a 2-1 decision Saturday. The Lynx came from behind in the final period of the Division I high school state hockey championship game to beat Wasilla, clinching their ninth title in program history and the first since 2018.
A packed house at Curtis D. Menard Memorial Sports Complex witnessed a somewhat sloppy slugfest that saw both teams squander prime scoring opportunities, especially in the opening period. Warriors goaltender and all-tournament team nominee, Jakob Barcelona, was seemingly under siege for two-thirds of the first period but held the Lynx scoreless through the first 30 minutes of game action.
“We knew we were coming out and taking this game.” Berntsen said. “We were all energy after it went in.” “My first game was kind of intimidating because I had never played varsity,” Jones said. “Playing varsity and getting to know the environment was really fun and I can’t wait until next year.” Sorenson has been at the helm of the program for the last 31 years and has led the Lynx to six state titles and 15 championship game appearances overall.
