Former Muskie boys’ hockey team forward Cole Magill had a big weekend in his first Midget ‘AAA’ games.
The 17-year-old scored a goal and added three assists in the Kenora Thistles’ season-opening 7-4 loss to the Brandon Wheat Kings at home on Saturday night.
Shortly after a four-minute power play had expired in the third period, forward Nathan Ho sent a pass from down low to Magill, who one-timed a shot past a sprawling Wheaties goalie Tyson Gregory for his first league goal.
“I wasn’t expecting to get it in the first game, but it came to me,” Magill told Ryan Stelter of the Kenora Miner and News after the game.
“We’re a young team, we got a lot more work ahead of us,” he added.
“A couple mental breakdowns took the game away from us, we were in it until the end though.”
Magill then added another helper on former Muskie Matt Spence’s goal in their squad’s 5-2 loss to Brandon the following day for a five-point weekend.
