That translates into the fifth largest team at the event for the second year in a row. With 66 teams in attendance, it would seem quite a task for a class B team to make their mark.

Coming off a state championship in Montana, the U19 Lady Ice Dawgs had high hopes for the NDAHA state tournament this past weekend. It wasn’t meant to be however, as the girls faced some stiff competition and placed 6th out of the 12 teams in the tournament. Mayport 2, Glasgow 0 In their first game of the tournament, the U19 girls matched up against the Mayport Ice Dawgs. For the most part, it was an uneventful contest. Glasgow was unable to find the back of the net during the contest and Mayport scored their two goals in the third period. G...
We’ve all seen them: bad calls or no-calls by referees at basketball games, as well as games that have gotten “out of control” with athletes sustaining serious injuries as a result. We’ve also seen athletes display inappropriate behavior, coaches bullying or intimidating student athletes, and parents and fans shouting at referees and reacting poorly to perceived – or even obvious bad calls. As a society, we have seemingly decided that it’s okay to behave badly at sporting events – and seldom do we apologize for it or even take responsibilit...

The most important game in a tournament weekend isn't always the championship game. Sometimes you have to slay the beast before you slay the dragon. After defeating each opponent in their first three games of the tournament, the Glasgow Ice Dawg Squirts fought the beast – otherwise known as the Missoula Bruins – and won. They moved on to play the Havre Ice Hawks for the title on Sunday afternoon, and snagged the well-deserved victory. They had some other business to take care of first, and tak...

Glasgow had a few tough games to finish out their regular season. Traveling to Malta Thursday night, the Lady Scotties faced Malta for the second time this season and recorded their second loss to the rival M-Ettes. Glasgow could not compete with the height and quickness of the M-Ettes, who shut down the Scotties offensively and defensively.

Kim Girard has been skating almost as long as she's been walking. She was born to a pair of professional skaters who taught skating and ice dancing, and began skating herself when she was two-and-a-half years old. Girard grew up in a skating family, spending many hours and days on the ice at rinks in Canada – one of which her parents managed when she was about five or six years old. As a matter of fact, Girard's mother was on the ice when she went into labor with her. "I guess teaching is in t...
