29 saves, 2 assists
Detroit Fighting Irish goalie George Hill was stopping pucks and setting up goals on Friday.

Richard Pinkowski, Nolan Jakrzewski, Aaron Robinson, Chase Tackett and Christian Ramage all scored solo goals as Detroit held off a late Motor City surge to post the win over its arch-rivals.
Anthony Wojciechowski tallied twice to lead Motor City.

Awsome game last nite George! and 2 assists to boot!!
Hill has been the most consistent goalie for the Irish for about the passed 2 months or so. I am not sure why that he does not play more games than he has dose. Oh well it was nice that the Irish won the Game and that they got good solid play from George.
