The Albert Lea Jr. Gold Iceman hockey team has started the season with two wins, a loss and a tie.

Inver Grove Heights was the opponent on Albert Lea&8217;s home ice taking immediate control in the first

game with a goal at the top of first period, but the Icemen would answer back with two

quick goals leading to a true battle on ice with each team firing shots in net.

The second and third periods would be no different as each team would put the puck in the net, but the game would end with the Icemen on top by the score 6-5.

Scott Possehl led the Icemen with a hat trick for the game.

Other skaters scoring one goal each were Chris Karge, Nate Yentsch and Mark Stokke. Assists went to Dalton Hanson, Yentsch and
