Huskies Check OFA Streak N-N Hands Canton First NAC Defea; Salmon River Wins By DAVE SHEA At the start of the Northern Conference Division II Hockey season, the consensus opinion was that most matchups were going to be an “on-any-given night” situation. At midway point of the season little as changed. Wednesday night’s game at the Edgar Allen Newell Memorial Golden Dome was a case in point. One week after suffering a 3-2 loss at home to OFA, Malone gained a reversal blanking the host Blue Devils 2-0 in a matchup of two of the premier goalies in the North Country.

The tournament will have vendors along with an outdoor skating area for families and is intended to be an event that the entire community can enjoy even if they do not play hockey. “When we were growing up there were outdoor hockey rinks all over the city and kids everywhere in town played hockey outdoors just for fun. We wanted to bring that back to Ogdensburg and encourage families and children to enjoy the winter and play outside” said Mike Fennessy of the Ogdensburg Hockey League and one of the event organizers. “We are looking to build on the success of last our tournament from last year. Last year we donated over $3500 to local youth organizations and we are hoping to donate more this year.” “Ogdensburg biggest asset is our waterfront and this event will help us showcase the St. Lawrence River in the winter. This event will be a great way to begin the week long River Shiver that the Chamber of Commerce puts on. We are expecting teams from all over the North Country and Canada and we hope this event grows year after year. The support that we received from the community and the City has been so incredibly positive, and we hope to raise a lot of money for our charities. I hope everyone in the community stops to check out the event or comes down to enjoy some skating on the river, even if they are not hockey players,” said William Hosmer an Ogdensburg City Councilor and one of the event organizers.
