The Muscle Milk team (aka Team North) continued their power trip. After losing their opening game in Week 1 to MAP 5-0, they have strung an eight win streak together to post an 8-1 record and take the top spot in UMHSEL going into Week 4. Sunday afternoon at the NAHL Showcase at the Super Rink in Blaine MN, the M&Mer’s used a dazzling offense to upend perennial USA U18 Tier 1 National champs Shattuck/St. Mary’s 7-6 to complete their second weekend sweep of all three games played. Two teams, TCF Bank and Mpls/St. Paul Magazine, were tied for third and had a chance to move up and challenge the two leaders this week playing early Weekend 4 games Tuesday and Wednesday. Both teams lost. The Magaziners lost to Starkey/Sonion 5-3 Tuesday night at New Hope; the Bankers lost Wednesday night 5-3 to Shattuck/St. Mary’s at Faribault. With the USA U17 team coming to town Weekend 5 (Oct 10-11 at New Hope), Muscle Milk and MAP will likely end up playing the Stars and Stripes.
