It has been an interesting first season for Section 4AA Gentry Academy after moving up from Class A a season ago, with some ups and downs. Still, the Stars now hope to prepare for section play with a rematch against Section 1AA Lakeville North. The Stars defeated the Panthers 2-1 earlier this season - could they earn a regular-season sweep?

Gentry Academy has the momentum of a 5-game winning streak going into this game. The Stars are led up front by senior Barrett Hall (16-9-25, who was recently interviewed by YHH) and juniors Wes Berg (17-9-26) and Reese Shaw (7-15-22).  

On defense, senior Nathan Rickey (2-15-17) and junior Tyler Geyer (1-10-11) keep it simple in the offensive zone and in their own end.  

Between the pipes, junior goaltender Anthony Zolezzi (2.07 goals-against-average) has the majority of the Stars' starts this season, but they have given senior Finn Willson (2.12 goals-against-average) opportunities as well.  

The Panthers hope to keep making their case for locking down the No. 2 seed in Section 1AA by earning a series split with Gentry Academy. Lakeville North might still be a bit ornery after their 7-2 loss on home ice to Prior Lake last Saturday.

Lakeville North is led at forward by seniors Chase Camilli (10-13-23) and Luke Jech (12-7-19), as well as junior Kyle Doll (15-14-29), who provide the majority of the scoring punch up front.  

On defense, seniors Zach Enebak (6-14-20), Jett Gibbons (1-8-9), and Wesly Brunello (3-4-7) are very efficient at forcing turnovers and quickly transitioning the puck out of their own zone.  

In the crease, senior goaltender Finn Jacques (2.21 goals-against average) has carried the mail all season.
