Tigers Down the Rams in OT
The Rams came into Saturday's game with St. Cloud
Tech knowing if they had any hope at getting the second seed in the section they
needed a solid effort and a win against a very scrappy Tiger team. The Rams
defeated the Tigers in St. Cloud just one week earlier 3-1. They would also need
help from Moorhead as they traveled to Brainerd to take on the Warriors in
another key Section 8AA contest. With a win over the Warriors the Spuds would
sweep the season series and open the door that possibly the Rams could sneak
into the number two seed for tournament play that starts next week.
The Rams got on the board first in the opening
period when Shane Omdahl scored a highlight reel behind the back goal at 14:15
giving the Rams a 1-0 lead with loan assist going to Adam Knochenmus. The
remainder of the period went scoreless with the Rams outshooting the Tigers
15-9.

the Rams lead scoring a shorthanded goal on a breakaway at 2:43 and the Rams
lead 2-1. The lead held up until late in the period when Reinholz recorded his
second of the game at 13:27 and the teams went to the locker room tied at 2-2.
After two periods of play the Rams held a 25-7 edge on shots on goal.
The third period the Tigers took their first lead of
the game as Reinholz completed his hat trick at 2:51 and a 3-2 lead. The Tiger
lead would last until the 11:51 mark when the Rams Josh Erickson converted a TJ
Erickson rebound past Tiger goaltender Al Patten knotting the game back up at
3-3. Just when it appeared we may be heading to overtime the Tigers scored on a
fluke goal and the puck was played deep into the Rams zone forcing Rams
netminder Ethan Kvidt to attempt to clear the puck out of the zone but partially
fanned with Ryan Heaton intercepting the clearing attempt and scoring into the
Rams empty net. The goal put the hometown crowd into a state of shock as they
found their Rams trailing 4-3 with just 1:52 remaining in regulation. In a
desperate attempt to get the equalizer in the closing second and Rams goaltender
Kvidt pulled for the extra attacker, senior Cole Kostrzewski scored on a flurry
in front of Patten tying the game at 4-4 with just :07 seconds remaining and
sending the game to overtime. For the third straight period the Rams outshot the
Tigers this time 14-3 for the period and 39-19 for the game.
The overtime period unfortunately didn't last long
as the Tigers winning goal came on another fluky play as Brandon Anderson beat a
startled Kvidt after forechecking deep in the Rams zone and sending a Ram
defensive giveaway into the Rams net giving the Tigers their biggest victory of
the year.
Rams goaltender Ethan Kvidt finished the game with
15 saves on 20 Tiger shots while the Tigers Al Patten picked up the win stopping
35 of 39 shots.

once as they traveled to Bemidji for another big section game against the

this one the Lumberjacks scored when Brady Devescovi converted a Jesse Nemgar

Knochemnus was signaled down on a roughing call. Rams senior goaltender Ethan
Kvidt was called upon to make the save of the game with just :45 seconds

Round One: Rams downed by Warriors
In front of a
capacity crowd Thursday night at Memorial Arena, the biggest high school
rivalry in the state and perhaps the entire nation continued as the Rams (#7
AA) and the Warriors (#4 A) did battle for the 156th time. Even with
the two schools playing in different classes has diminished the rivalry from
what it once was you couldn’t really see that Thursday night. All hockey fans,
scouts and media personalities were treated to yet another dandy between these
two storied programs in a game that wasn’t decided until the closing minutes.
The Warriors jumped
out to a quick lead scoring at 5:21 of the opening period when Warriors leading
scorer Brock Nelson banged home a Brett Hebel rebound past Rams netminder Ethan
Kvidt to take the early lead. Rams senior forward Kevin Erickson tied the game
just 4 minutes, nineteen seconds later as he knocked in a rebound goal past
Warriors goaltender Shawn Storey to send both squads to the locker room tied a
1-1. The Rams had a slight edge of shots for the period outshooting the
Warriors 8-7.
The second period the
play opened up as both teams combined for 23 shots in the period but both
goaltenders were sharp keeping the period scoreless until 2:06 remaining in the
period. With the Rams Lyle Norman just returning to the ice after serving a
hooking penalty, the Warriors Aaron Rasmussen picked up loose puck along the
boards and circled to the high slot and sent a hard wrister past Kvidt
regaining the one goal lead at 2-1. The Rams Ethan Kvidt was the busier of the
two goaltenders facing 13 Warrior shots while Shawn Storey kicked out all 10 he
faced in the period. With the Warriors leading 2-1 after two periods, this
would setup for an exciting third period of action.
The Rams came into
the third period trailing by a goal but failed to convert on a couple of
excellent opportunities early in the third but at 7:34 of the period they
caught the Warriors on a 2 – on – 1. The Rams leading scorers Shade Omdahl and
Trevor Baumgartner entered the zone with only one defender pack with Omdahl
giving Baumgartner a perfect goal mouth feed to tie the game up at 2-2. The
game would remain tied until 14:53 of the period when Adam Shaugabay performed
his heroics tipping a Carson Gray blast from the point past Kvidt giving the
Warriors their third lead of the game at 3-2. The Rams pulled Kvidt with just
over one minute remaining for an extra attacker but the plan backfired as
Shaugabay recorded his second of the night beating a Rams defenseman to the
puck sending it into an empty net. The Warriors Brock Nelson picked up his
second goal of the night just thirty five seconds later converting again on an
empty netter and giving the Warriors a 5-2 victory.
With this lose the
Rams drop to 12-2-1 overall and lose their first game in conference play and
now are 5-1 in the Mariucci Conference. The Warriors improve to 12-2 overall
and 3-1 inside the conference. Next up for the Rams they face the Buffalo Bison
Saturday afternoon at 3 pm at Memorial Arena in their first Section 8AA contest
since defeating the Moorhead Spuds back on December 15th.
Rams Down Greenwave 3-1
The
Rams received a pair of goals from Josh Erickson and Shane Omdahl notched his
19th of the season to pace the Rams to a 3-1 win against the East Grand Forks
Greenwave at East Grand Forks. Senior netminder Ethan Kvidt who was solid
between the pipes for the Rams turned aside 17 of 18 shots for the night while
Greenwave goaltender Hunter Aubol finished with 25 saves on 28 Ram shots.
Next up for the Rams they face the Warrior Warriors at Memorial Arena on
Thursday night with game time set for 7:30 pm. With the win the Rams improve to
12-1-1 on the season and 5-0 in Mariucci conference play.

Rams Lose in Shootout
Going
into Thursday nights game with the Red River Roughriders you knew that the
Riders would give the Rams all they wanted and more. Both Grand Forks teams
traditionally play the Rams very tough especially on home ice.
It was evident this would be the case Thursday as the Riders took a 2-0 lead to
the dressing room after one period of play scoring two late first period goals.
This coming after the Rams had the better edge of play for most of the opening
period. The Riders two first period goals came from Jordan Love and Jon
Lizotte.
The second period the
Rams and leading scorer Shane Omdahl came storming back scoring goals at 2:20
and 8:19 of the period tying the game back up at 2-2 after two periods of play.
It was Omdahl's 8th and 9th goals of the season. The Rams held a 20 - 11 shots
on goal lead after two periods.
Entering the third
period the Rams had new life but that all changed again at the 6:04 mark of the
period when Riders leading scorer Jake LaDouceur scored to regain the lead at
3-2. The back and forth scoring continued just over two minutes later when
Omdahl finished off his hat trick blistering a shot just under the crossbar and
tying the game back up at 3-3. That goal seemed to give the Rams the jump they
were looking for as they responded just :52 seconds later as Kevin Erickson
fired a shot that rebounded off Trevor Baumgartner who was positioned low in
the slot and redirected past Riders sophomore netminder Bryan Nies. The goal
gave the Rams their first lead of the game at 4-3. The Rams played with the
lead until the 13:12 mark, with the Riders sustaining pressure deep in the Rams
zone Casey Fugleberg cashed in sending a backhander past Rams goaltender Ethan
Kvidt tying the game up once again at 4-4. Neither team was able to regain the
lead after regulation sending the game into the 8-minute overtime.
Riders goaltender
Nies was the busier of the two goaltenders in the extra frame facing 6 Ram
shots while Kvidt faced only the one Rider shot. The tournament tying breaking
procedure called for a five person shootout with head coaches picking their
shooters. The Rams had the opportunity to finish this one off taking a 2-1 lead
after Adam Knochenmus and Cole Kostrzewski both scored it left the Riders down
to their final shooter in the original 5 person shooting list and he beat Kvidt
sending this one into extra shooters. After both teams leading scorers (Omdahl
& LaDouceur) were again stopped the Riders Casey Fugleberg scored forcing
the Rams to score to extend the shootout but the Riders netminder Nies stood
tall stopping the crafty Knochenmus with a nice left pad save giving the Riders
the win. Nies finished the game with 27 saves on 31 Ram shots while the Rams
Kvidt finished with 15 saves on 19 Rider shots.
Officially the game
goes down as a 4-4 tie but with the win the Riders now advance to the
semi-final tonight at 8:30 facing the Grafton-Park River Spoilers after they
defeated Bismarck High Demons 4-1 in the night cap. The Rams will now move over
to Purpur Arena and take on the Demons at 3:15 pm in the consolation bracket.

at 3 pm.
Rams Down Totino-Grace 9-4
After the tough loss
on Friday night the Rams had a tough task of coming back on Saturday with an
afternoon matchup with the Totino-Grace Eagles.
The green and white
looked a little sluggish early in the period as the Eagles got on the board
first when Mike Parnell beat Rams goaltender Ethan Kvidt while skating with the
man advantage at 5:28 of the opening period. The goal seemed to kick start the
Rams as Adam Knochenmus notched his first of three on the afternoon on the
powerplay just two minutes after the Eagle goal. The period ended with both
teams tied at1-1.
The Rams opened the
game up in the second period scoring four times in the first 9 minutes of the
period getting a pair of goals from Knochenmus and Trevor Baumgartner and a
single tally from Mike Johnson. Mike Parnell and TJ Roo notched markers for the
Eagles. After two periods of play the Rams held a 6-3 lead.

Noble picked up a powerplay goal early in the third, the Rams received goals
from Chase Broten, Cole Kostrzewski and Shane Omdahl to close out the scoring
and giving the Rams a solid 9-4 victory. The Rams starting goaltender Ethan
Kvidt finished the night with 37 saves on 41 shots while the Eagles netminder
Nick DeMuth finished with 27 saves on 36 shots.
With the win the Rams
improve to 2-1 on the season and face the East Grand Forks Greenwave at home on
Thursday, December 10th with game time set for 7:30 pm.
Rams Suffer Tough Loss to Blaine
The Rams played host
to two metro area teams this weekend as they faced one of the top ranked teams
in the state in the Blaine Bengals and the Totino-Grace Eagles. Friday
night’s contest the Rams faced the Blaine Bengals who are led by junior Nick
Bjugstad and three year starting goaltender Danny Harper. The Rams without
question come in as underdogs in this one with the Bengals bringing back
several members from last year’s state tournament team.
The opening period
the Rams showed that they weren’t going to let the Bengals role over them as
they picked up the only goal of the period at the 6:01 mark with senior Cole
Kostrzewski picking up his first of the year with assists going to Kevin
Erickson and Trevor Baumgartner.
The second period the
Rams extended their lead early in the period on a Shane Omdahl goal just 3:14
into the period but the Bengals responded quickly pulling back to one goal when
Nick Bjugstad picked up this first of three goals on the night. Roseau shocked
the nice crowd as they added to their lead with goals by Kevin Erickson and
senior defensemen Jesse Braun to take a 4-1 lead at the midway point of the
period. Just as it looked like the Bengals might be in for a long night
they narrowed the lead with an even strength goal from Brad Benson and a
shorthanded goal and his second of the night by Bjugstad. That goal ended the
scoring for a wild second period and Rams took a 4-3 lead into the locker room.
After a crazy goal
scoring spree second period the third was totally opposite as the Rams played
very well defensively defending the one goal lead even with the Bengals
pressing at times. Just as it appeared the upset could be reality Bjugstad
finished off the hattrick as he spit the Ram defensemen going in alone on Rams
goaltender Ethen Kvidt tucking a backhander past the senior netminder and
finishing off a Blaine comeback with just 2:12 remaining in regulation.
Unfortunately for the Rams things would get worse after a questionable call the
Rams went shorthand for the final minute and the Bengals Jonny Brodzinski knocked
in the game winner with just :45 seconds remaining for a Bengal 5-4 victory.
Rams goaltender Ethan Kvidt finished with 33 saves on 38 Bengal shots while
Blaine’s Danny Harper had 28 saves on 32 Ram shots.
Omdahl Notches Hattrick in Rams Come
Back Victory
At the 9:00 minute
mark of the second period the Rams found themselves in a very undesirable
position, trailing the Thief River Falls Prowler by a 3-1 count. On paper that
isn’t an insurmountable lead but with one of the state’s top goaltenders in Zane
Gothberg it is a tough road to haul. This is where the Rams top line of Shane
Omdahl, Adam Knochenmus and Travis Connell come into the picture. This line
accounted for all four Ram goals in the third period enroute to a 6-3 Mariucci
Conference win.
The Rams Opened the
scoring for the game at 4:16 of the opening period with one of the smoothest
passing plays you will see as Adam Knochenmus gave a breakout pass from center
ice sending Travis Connell and Shane Omdahl in alone on Prowler goaltender Zane
Gothberg with Omdahl finishing off a unselfish perfect pass from Connell.
The Rams lead held for just under four minutes when Riley Soderstrom sent a
back hander over the sprawled out Ram goaltender Ethan Kvidt who had poke
checked the puck in an attempt to clear the puck but unfortunately ended up on
Soderstrom’s stick. The period ended with the Prowlers having the edge in shots
12-8.
The second period the
Prowlers took advantage on one of their two 5-on-3 power play opportunities
when Mathew Audette sent a shot over the left shoulder of Kvidt with just 9
seconds remaining on the front end of the two man advantage. With the
Prowlers remaining on the powerplay, Soderstrom picked up this second of the
night on a rebound goal as he was camped off the left post giving the Prowlers
a 3-1 and putting all the momentum in the Prowler favor. To make matters
worse the Rams found themselves again two men short when two of their top
defensemen in TJ Erickson and Zach Johnson where whistled down for penalties. It
appeared the Rams learned something from their first shorthanded experienced
and seemed to turn a negative into a positive as they successfully killed off
the penalties which appeared to give the Rams a lift. The closing two minutes
of the period the Rams themselves would be the benefactor of a 5-on-3
opportunity. With the two goal deficit and not wanting to let an
opportunity to trim the Prowler lead to one the Rams first year head coach Andy
Lundbohm called a timeout to gather his troops and put together a game plan for
the closing seconds of the period. This would show to be a smart coaching
decision as defensemen ripped a hard shot past Gothberg with :41 seconds
remaining in the period to close the lead to 3-2.
The third period the
Rams entered on the second half of the 2-man advantage and quickly converted
just :34 seconds into the period as Omdahl notched his second of the game on a
rebound goal tying the game at 3-3. At 4:15 Adam Knochemus gave the Rams
the lead that they wouldn’t surrender as he converted a Shane Omdahl pass and
the Rams had their second lead of the game at 4-3. At the 11:59 mark of the
period the scoring barrage continued on one of the nicest moves you will see at
the high school level as Omdahl undressed Gothberg sliding a nifty backhander
past the netminder. That finished off the scoring for Omdahl for the evening
but not before picking up the hatty in the effort. It was only fitting that
this line finish the scoring for the night with just 1:50 remaining in
regulation Knochenmus closed out the scoring for the game as he picked up
his second of the night and complete a four goal third period outburst and a
come from behind 6-3 win.
