This wasn’t the way it was supposed to be.

Heading into mid-December, powerful Warroad was in an unusual position. The Warriors had lost four straight games to fall below .500 (3-4-0), a benchmark not common in Warroad varsity hockey. The team was struggling to score goals, with back-to-back shutout losses at the hands of Bemidji and East Grand Forks.

Since that point, the Warriors have ripped off eight straight victories, the latest a 3-0 shutout of host Crookston Saturday night at the shiny Crookston Sports Center.
