HOCKEY
What a start for Indiana in the Laurel Mountain Hockey League! They blasted Forest Hills, 13-2 at the S&T Bank Arena last night to open their season.
Brady Oakes had the hat trick, at least, as the box score does not list the final four Indiana goals. Others who did make the scoresheet include Matt Stone, Ryan Bell, Joey Mains, Joe Alsippi, Domenic Mains, and Samuel Frich.
Indiana outshot the Rangers 23-3 in the first period and 46-30 in the game. Jacob Jadzak made 28 saves.
Indiana was 3-for-4 on the power play and killed six of eight penalties.
The Indians will play Richland at Ebensburg on Tuesday.
