JDHS cruises past North Pole

The Juneau-Douglas High School hockey team scored a season-high six goals Friday at Treadwell Arena in a 6-1 win over the North Pole Patriots.

The win marked the first time this season the Crimson Bears (4-10, 2-3 MAC) have won back-to-back games. JDHS defeated Lathrop the week before in Fairbanks, 4-0.

The team will try to make it three straight on Saturday night in their last home game of the season against the same opponent.

The Crimson Bears received all of its goals from juniors — Cully Corrigan scored three, Dalton Hoy scored two and Greyson Liebelt scored one.

Junior Erik Genitz tallied three assists while Tyler Weldon and Ronan Lynch also contributed helpers.

JDHS goaltender Cody Mitchell saved nine shots in the win; North Pole goaltender Moses Halbert saved 24 shots.

Halbert saved an impressive 17 of 18 shots in the first period as only Hoy scored for the Crimson Bears.

JDHS had much better success against Halbert in the second period though. Corrigan scored two goals in the first five minutes to put JDHS up 3-0. Liebelt added another goal at 11:16 in the second.

Traivin Siebels scored at 8:41 of the third from Jesse Keith and Kole Kuykendall to provide some consolation for the Patriots, who still trailed 4-1.

Corrigan scored his third goal at 9:40 of the third.

North Pole and JDHS went 0-5 and 0-4 on the power play, respectively.
