Athletics and Activities Update November 27th Posted on November 27, 2017 in Activities, Press Releases Girls’ Hockey The River Lakes Stars girls’ hockey team opened the season last Tuesday against Buffalo and were defeated 6-4 playing without SJP senior goalie Jordyn Tomaszewski. Jordyn ’18 returned to the line-up Saturday against powerhouse Roseau. In the game Jordyn had 51 saves and kept the team in the game throughout. One spectacular save even fooled the referee-who initially ruled a goal for Roseau only to be shown the puck in Jordyn’s glove!
