Girls Hockey Preview: Northern Lakes Lightning return with unfinished business

BREEZY POINT — Northern Lakes Lightning girls hockey coach Angus Laing said his squad is motivated this year coming off a disappointing playoff loss last season. “We had the most development and commitment from our players this summer,” said Laing, whose No. 4 seeded team lost to the top-seeded St. Cloud Crush 6-0 last year in the Section 6A semifinals. “I have had multiple reports of girls training and playing during the off-season more than ever before," he said. "This means we have a vast amount of our returning core who are hungry, motivated, competitive and who still feel the sting of a tough section semifinal loss.” Northern Lakes hopes to build off last year’s 10-11-2 overall squad with seven of the top 12 scorers back and an experienced goaltender returning.
