Lakers surge into second
A pair of 3-1 weekend wins over their arch-rival Michigan Tech Huskies has the Lake Superior State Lakers tied for second place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.
The Lakers have a record of 15-7-2 within the WCHA and are tied with the Bowling Green Falcons.
Overall, Lake Superior State has a record of 20-8-2 through 30 games this season.
Scoring wise, senior forward Diego Cuglietta tops the Laker scoring chart with 20 goals, 14 assists, 34 points.
From a local angle, Michigan Soo native Ashton Calder has been a nice contributor for the Lakers as a freshman forward. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Calder, who has a 1998 birth date, has played in 29 of the Lakers 30 games and has 3 goals, 12 assists, 15 points.

Best season in a long time for the Lakers. Things finally seem to be coming together under coach Damon Whitten.
The Lakers have a commitment from a Northern Ontario player, Jesse Tucker from Longlac. He’s currently playing for Green Bay of the USHL and will likely be joining the Lakers in a couple of seasons.
