Season Preview: Grand Rapids/Greenway Lightning

GRAND RAPIDS — Grand Rapids/Greenway (GRG) Lightning hockey drops the puck on an all-new hockey season this Friday, and although the team has graduated its top scorer after each of the last two seasons, it’ll be business as usual for a team that expects to compete for the section once again.The Lightning went 18-6-4 last season but it ended in a 1-0 heartbreaker to Andover in the section championship for the fourth season in a row.Last year’s captain and top scorer Kylie DeBay, along with captain Haylie Forrest, have graduated, leaving the opportunity there for this year’s team captains: Opal Anderson, Sophie Carlson, and Makenna Sobtzak to take full ownership of the leadership drive on-ice production. The trio of captains have plenty of help on a talented roster ready to contribute to wins.
