Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Michigan U.P. Veterans Hockey Club faced off against the Minnesota Warriors Hockey Club in a thrilling match on Saturday night as part of Northern Lights Hockey Night at Dee Stadium. Despite falling behind 3-0 early in the game, the MUPVHC rallied back to secure an 8-5 victory.

Co-captain Jon French expressed his excitement after the hard-fought win, acknowledging the tough challenge posed by the elite-level Minnesota Warriors. Forward T.J. Maleport played a pivotal role in the victory, scoring a hat trick and showcasing his energy and tenacity on the ice.

The game was not just about the competition on the ice, but also about supporting a worthy cause. The proceeds from the game went towards Equipment Loans of the Keweenaw, which helps outfit the local sled hockey scene. One of the Minnesota players even made the trip specifically to raise money for sled hockey, demonstrating the impact of the game beyond the final score.

The atmosphere at Dee Stadium was electric, with the Michigan Tech Pep Band adding to the excitement with their lively performance. World War II veteran Joseph Enrietti, the last surviving WWII veteran in the Keweenaw, was honored with a ceremonial puck drop before the game, adding a special touch to the event.

The Minnesota Warriors enjoyed their time in the area so much that they are already planning a return visit, with hopes of making the matchup an annual tradition. The camaraderie and sportsmanship displayed by both teams highlighted the true spirit of hockey and the power of coming together for a common cause.
