WEEKEND RECAP

Another exciting three-game weekend for the Bucs! 

The weekend started strong with a successful country night, with a pre-game performance by Robbie Micheal Entertainment and an exciting win for the Bucs. 

Friday's game quickly got exciting, with four goals in the first period! Those goal scorers were Jack Kernan and Brady Zugec, and two back-to-back goals scored by Liam Watkins; the second period started with an exciting goal scored by Ashton Dahms. The Bucs were still leading as they went into the third period. Soon, Liam Watkins scored his third goal of the night and earned his first USHL hat trick!

The Bucs headed on the road Saturday for a back-to-back game against Sioux City on Saturday. It was an intense and nail-biting game with Ilya Protas, Paul Minnehan, Jack Kernan scoring, and Aston Dahms scoring two. The game ended in a shootout, unfortunately not in favor of the Bucs. 

Sunday's game came around, and the Bucs were ready. The Bucs played the NTDP U17s in an intense and high-scoring game with goals scored by Aiden VanRooyan, Garrett Drotts, Liam Watkins, Ashton Dahms, Paul Minnehan, and Brittan Alstead got his first USHL Goal! 

This week, the Bucs will be away both Friday and Saturday. Friday, they will be playing the Waterloo BlackHawks in a Dupaco Cowbell Cup Matchup, and Saturday, they will be facing the Dubuque Fighting Saints in another Cowbell Cup matchup! Be sure to tune in on FloHockey to watch both games!
