ALPENA, MI - The Alpena Hockey team gave up three goals during a five minute major late in the 2nd Period and lost their first game of the season, 6-0, to Macomb Dakota on Saturday afternoon at Northern Lights Arena. Alpena and the Cougars played a tight-checking, defensive game throughout the first half of the game. Matt Thompson was assessed a five minute major for Boarding, allowing the powerful Cougar offense to go to work. Ryan Bookout, Kyle LeDuc, and Nick Bumbalough all scored for the Cougars in the 2nd Period. Macomb Dakota continued to pour it on in the third when they added three more goals. Alpena struggled to get anything offensively, managing only 11 shots on goal to Macomb's 29. Jimmy Bolanowski made 23 saves before being replaced by Collin LIghtfoot in the 3rd. Alpena (7-1-0, 2-0-0 BNC) are at the Division 3 Showcase next weekend in Gaylord.
