MARIAN HOCKEY
STORYLINES
HEARTBREAK IN OVERTIME: Just 11 days into the 2013-14 season, the Marian men’s
hockey team played their first game, traveling to Menominee, Wis. With limited practice
time under their belt, a lot of questions surrounded the team and what they’d bring to
the ice on opening day. In a scratch and claw type of match, it would be a penalty shot in
overtime that decided it, sending UW-Stout to victory, 4-3. Senior Tyler Klein led the Sabres
with two goals and an assist and senior Josh Baker made 49 saves in the loss. “I thought it
was a good effort by the guys jupming out to a 3-1 lead,” Head Coach AJ Aitken said. “But
we have to find a way to shut the door.”
HOSTING THE TOP DOGS: Marian returns to their home ice this Friday as they will host
the top-ranked St. Norbert Green Knights. Last season, the Green Knights won the NCHA
before being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament by eventual National
Champion, UW-Eau Claire. Of the 27 members of this year’s roster, 19 are letterwinners
from previous seasons. They lose their top two point-getters from a season ago in Kyle
Stroh (19G, 22A) and Cody Keefer (17G, 17A), but return their starting goaltender David
Jacobson. The Janesville, Wis. native posted a 20-6-1 record with a 1.61 GAA and a .931
save percentage.
