While North Shore continues to have their number, the Ely Timberwolves still managed a win on the ice this week.
Sophomore Drew Marolt had the hat trick in the high school hockey team’s 6-4 win over Burnett County (Wisc.) in a Feb. 4 clash at Siren, Wisc.
The Wolves weren’t able to carry their momentum into Monday, when North Shore beat the Wolves at the Ely Arena.
Ely, now 4-17, closes out the regular season today, in Babbitt, against Mora.
Playoff action comes next for the Wolves, and a fourth game with North Shore could be on the horizon.
Perhaps depending on a Friday night battle at Moose Lake, the Wolves will either be ninth or 10th in the Section 7A rankings and travel on Feb. 19 to meet either the seventh or eighth seed.
International Falls or North Shore are the likely destinations for the Wolves.
