Hometown teams fall in A2Ice3 Thanksgiving Meltdown tournament

The first day of the A2Ice3 Thanksgiving Meltdown high school hockey showcase was kind of a turkey for the hometown teams.

Playing in the final two games of the all-day tournament at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube, Huron High School lost 8-1 to Hartland and Pioneer was beaten 5-1 by St. Clair Shores.

One other local competitor, the Lincoln/Milan co-op team, lost 6-4 to Troy.

Huron scored its only goal when Brad Christman finished a breakaway in the first minute of the second period to pull the River Rats within 2-1. But Hartland, which got a hat trick from Nick Manley, led 4-1 after two periods and padded its lead with three goals in the final six minutes of the third.

Pioneer was tied 1-1 with St. Clair Shores after one period thanks to a goal by defensemen Noah Tahir. But the Lakers scored a pair of goals in the second and third periods while holding the Pioneers off the scoreboard for the remainder of the game.

Lincoln/Milan got two goals from Jarrett Pfeiffer and a goal and two assists from Blaze Keider in their loss to Troy.
