Minor Midget, 2013-2014 (Sun County Panthers)

The 98 Minor Midget Panthers are sending 6 players to the Alliance All-Star Weekend in Komoka on December 7th-8th.  Congratulations and best of luck to: goaltender Tyler Wall, defencemen Nick Mainella and Michael Kreibich, and forwards Brett Vorshuk, Eric Henderson, and Josh Pope-Ferguson. 

The Sun County Minor Midgets will play an exhibition game outdoors on Sunday December 22nd at 7pm against Little Caesars at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan.  The game is part of the 2013 Hockeytown Winter Festival, a two week celebration of hockey leading up to the 2014 Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium.  Other games being held at Comerica Park include CIS, NCAA, OHL, AHL, and NHL Alumni games.

On Saturday October 26th the Sun County Minor Midgets had the opportunity to visit the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.  After having the chance to explore historic Yost Arena and the athletic campus including Michigan Stadium, the site of the 2014 Winter Classic, the team got a tour of the Men's Ice Hockey facilities where they learned what it takes to become a Wolverine and what life is like as an NCAA Student-Athlete.  In the evening the team took in the game between the University of Michigan Wolverines and the UMass-Lowell River Hawks which saw UMass-Lowell pull out a 2-1 win.
