HURON — After a tied first period with one goal in the net for each team, the Huron All-Stars boys’ varsity hockey team recorded five goals to take a dominant 6-2 victory over the Watertown Lakers on Saturday at the Bergman Arena.
Walker Schiltz made two assisted goals for the All-Stars, as he came in for his first game of the season on Saturday, after recovering from a broken leg during a football game last fall. The first successful shot was made at 7:26 during the second period, while Schiltz struck another shot past the Watertown goalie in third.
Xavier Erickson took a pair of goals, both assisted by Izaiah Phillips, during the third to push for Huron’s decisive win. One was recorded within seconds of the period, while the other found the net as the winning goal with 10:53 gone on the clock.
Rei Hoops was the first player to find the net, assisted by Cody Ruedenbusch and Thacher Dramstad, to put the All-Stars at 1-0 within the first four minutes of the opening period.
A goal was made by Payton Cass during a Huron power play late in the second to take the All-Star lead up to 3-1, as Hoops and Ruedenbusch paired up for the assist.
The Lakers made their second and last goal with three and a half minutes gone in the third period, but were unable to handle Huron’s defensive unit.
The All-Stars boys’ varsity team will return to the ice on Friday for the White Bear Lake tournament.
