this season are wide ranging For some schools like the Altoona and Chippewa Falls boys teams it's a numbers issue For others like Eau Claire Memorial and Rice Lake it's injuries and undeniable levels of talent that have freshmen finding their way onto varsity rosters But whether these youngsters are playing due to talent injuries or roster numbers matters little Because when it comes down to it there's no denying that a glut of area freshmen are making names for themselves in rinks around the Chippewa Valley this season What I like about that group is they are rink rats Chippewa Falls coach Scott Parker said of his freshmen I would see them all around the rink They are always there and they all love hockey And it's one of those things you need to have rink rats nowadaysYou look at Memorial's team last year They had that group that stuck together and that's the key nowadays Hockey is not just a fourmonth sport You've got to have guys sticking together and working together in the offseason and that's what we are hoping forFor Parker who has skated as many as seven freshmen in a game this season playing so many freshmen was a decision of necessity With five seniors graduating from last year's team along with the usual defections and injuries that occur during the offseason the longtime coach had little other choice Five freshmen are seeing regular shifts for the Cardinals including Mac Walsh on the second forward line Mitch LaVelle on defense and a third line of Austin Taylor Jerod Sabaska and Logan Murphy Add in the play of goaltender Alex Tillotson who has been gaining more and more minutes in the last half of December and Parker is relying heavily on six youngsters to carry his team through a tough Big Rivers Conference slateWe're expecting a lot out of them And there were times where the inexperience shows Parker said But these kids I think they are going to work on their game outside the hour and 15 minute practice we have These days you've got to do thatThe same is true down the road in Altoona where coach Steve Marczinke lists nine freshmen on his varsity squad the most of any area team And the youngsters don't seem to be blinking either with Justin Jinkins and Trever Brock tied for second on the team with three goals Austin Potter skating with the Rails second line and Justin Johnson a regular contributor on the blue line I hope so said Marczinke about the improvement of a young team I hope we keep improving all year It's just the little things you learn as they year goes on that will help usFor Rice Lake coach Keith Paulsen his young freshman class has provided not only depth but an impressive scoring punch Kody Novinska leads the Warriors with 15 points while defenseman Reid Giddings has five Derek Robarge and Trae Taylor also are providing solid minutes for Rice Lake And while the number of impact youngsters is lower elsewhere the strength of their play speaks for itself Menomonie freshman Drew Otto's nine goals and 17 points this season put him in a tie for third in both categories in the Big Rivers Memorial defenseman Jacob McCabe has displayed so much talent that he captains the Old Abes power play unit and is fifth on the team in scoring Across town at North Brad Money has two points while skating on the Huskies top lineHe's a great fit for us North's Derek Lund said of Money We need someone that can get open and create his own opportunities for us and hopefully we can feed him the puck and he can bury it when we get it to him And so far he's done his jobAnd it's not just the freshmen boys making a name for themselves either Menomonie's Shauna Bollinger already has 11 goals on the season for the Indians while St Croix Valley's Hailey Rock has been a stalwart at the top of the Fusion's rotation The ECA Stars' Emily Lester has quickly settled into a role on the Stars top line with Erin Stenseth and Kelsey Lund and is second on the team with 13 points Add in Hailey Watkins' six points and some strong defensive play by blue line anchor Macki Fadness and ECA coach Marty Fadness is excited about the way his youngsters have adapted to the varsity game I knew there were three or four of those girls who could step in and play this year and we needed them to said Marty Fadness who coached many of the freshmen as a U14 coach last year And they've done a good job for usWhere to beLooking for a few good hockey games this week Look no further than Hobbs Ice Center on Tuesday where Memorial and North resume their heated rivalry with the 92nd meeting in school history The Old Abes have
