Arizona hockey won 6-1 against Grand Canyon University in Phoenix on after going two weeks without ice time.
Because of the Gem Show at the Tucson Convention Center, the ‘Cats have had to resort to workouts as their main course of practice without their native ice rink. For the first period of the game against GCU, it was noticeable.
Despite out shooting the ‘Lopes 14-9 in the first, and taking the lead with the first of two goals by Justin Dungey, the Wildcats weren’t playing to their full potential. The Wildcats lacked sustained pressure on the forecheck, and were often pushed off the puck because of their tendency to dump it in the right corner.
