Dec. 2—The Packers went on a roller coaster ride, but unfortunately it ended on a low.
The Austin boys hockey team overcame a nightmare second period with an outstanding stretch in the third period, only to lose 5-4 to Windom in overtime.
After being outshot 21-3 in the second, the Packers (0-2 overall) trailed 3-0, but Sam Eyre, Isaac Stromlund, Gahvin Schaefer and Gavin Brekke all scored within a three-minute stretch to make it 4-3 Austin in the third. However, Windom tied the game when Karson Lacanne scored with 3:57 left in regulation and the game ended when Brady Esenson was able to get near the net and score.
