CROOKSTON PIRATE GIRL’S HOCKEY AFTER LONG LAYOFF PLAY AT ROSEAU IN A MATINEE

addie-fee-1

The Crookston Pirate Girl’s Hockey team has not had much game time as they have been off for nearly three weeks with postponements and the holiday break. Although they’ve been practicing, in some ways it will be like starting all over when they visit the Roseau Rams this afternoon. Crookston is 6-4-1 on the year while the Roseau Rams who play in Section 8AA are 10-4 on the year after two wins this week over Section 8A opponents, 5-0 over Thief River Falls on Tuesday and 4-0 Thursday night over East Grand Forks both at home, so it will be three Section 8A teams in a row for the Rams when Roseau and Crookston meet. Since Roseau doesn’t field a JV team, the varsity game will start at 2:00 PM at the Roseau Rams Center and will be on KROX RADIO starting with the RiverView Health pre-game show at 1:30 PM and the internet by going to the LISTEN LIVE link at the top of this page.
