Hopkins/Park Clouds North Shore Storm

 Saturday night was a banner night for Sofia Hoffman as she scored two goals, including the game winner with 11:18 left in regulation time to lead the Hopkins/Park girls hockey team to a 2-1 win over the North Shore Storm at the Rec Center in St. Louis Park.  

It looked like there wouldn't be any scoring in the first period.  Not so fast.  Hoffman would score her first goal on a rebound with :10.5 left in the period to put Hopkins/Park ahead.  

The only second period goal would come from the Storm as Libby Althaus fed Hope Ernest and she went top shelf to tie the game at one.  

Heading into the third period, it would be Hoffman who would score her second rebound goal with 11:18 left in regulation time.  Would there be overtime?  The answer would be no, as North Shore head coach Zach Vieau pulled goalie Harper Powell with 1:26 to go.  But the scoreboard would remain stationary as no other pucks went into the net.  

Hopkins/Park improved their record to 7-12-1 and will host the Tartan Titans on Tuesday, January 24 at 7 PM at the Minnetonka Ice Arena.  North Shore fell to 8-12 and will also return to action on the 24th when they head to the Hibbing Memorial Arena to face Hibbing/Chisholm at 7 PM.
