Keith Vandervort ELY – The Timberwolves hit the ice here last Saturday, but struggled to put the puck in the net, ultimately losing 7-2 to the Moose Lake Area Rebels. It was the first action for Ely’s hockey team in nearly two weeks due to pandemic-related cancellations by opponents. Ely, which has struggled all season, fell behind 3-0 after the first period on the Rebels’ 13 shots to the net, tended by sophomore goalie Ben Cavalier. Ely recorded five shots on goal in the first stanza, and 15 scoring chances overall. Moose Lake Area peppered Cavalier with 29 shots. Ely scored two goals in the second period, one by Cole Macho, who scored with an assist by Jakson Hegman, and the other by freshman Drew Marolt, who scored his first goal ever as a varsity player.
