The team was returning from the North American Tier III Hockey League — or Na3hl — Silver Cup Championships in Chicago. The top eight Na3hl teams compete for the Silver Cup. Yellowstone went from last in its division in the 2014-15 season, to first this year. Garrett Matz, a 2015 Albert Lea High School graduate and a 2014-15 Tigers hockey captain, is a goalie for the Quake. - Provided
