Plesantly surprised at how good a hockey team that the Monarchs have.
The Joanak kid is worth the $$ admission $$. Good job Coach and to you as well Mark for putting such a good hockey team in place.
Looking forward to the Monarchs playing the Fighting Irish coming up this week ahead.
Monarchs are now 5 and O! 4 to 2 win over the Soo to-day.
