The Hatchets dropped a tough 5-4 game to Chequamegon last Tuesday and a 4-1 loss to Marshfield on Thursday, but rebounded with a 7-4 victory at Rhinelander on Saturday.
Luke Schoone (A-Kenny Kangas) made it 1-1 in the 1st of Tuesday’s game. Trevor Iwen (A-Colton Kammer, A.J. Bunce) kept THS within 3-2 in the 2nd, and Schoone (A-Chris Parker, Bunce) and Sam Heim (UA) netted pucks in the 3rd.
“It was a disappointing loss, but a great eye-opener for the team,” THS coach Jake Flohr said.
