LET THE GAMES COMMENCE! WINGS    9    HAWKS   3 Still reveling from last week’s MVP performance and the capturing of the Sam Cupp Championship – Mr. Brian Miller puts a huge hurting on the Hawks with a four goal game!  Second line center Robbie Olmstead with the trick.  Singles for Mike Miller(Also 3 Helpers) and Steve Bayagich.  Right…

LET THE GAMES COMMENCE!
