Stremmel Shines In Steel Victory Over Sioux City

Story By: Steve Jankowski
Bensenville (November 22, 2008) - Coming into Saturday night's game against the Sioux City Musketeers, the Chicago Steel relied on an offense that averaged 3.625 goals per game, and just enough defense to win games.  That formula hasn't always gotten the team results, as the team entered the night 8-7-1 on the year.

But against Sioux City, Hudson Stremmel led the way, stopping 22 of 23 Musketeer shots in the Steel's 2-1 win at the Edge Ice Arena.

After a scoreless first period, Sioux City's Mitch Bruijsten took advantage of a Dean Chelios minor penalty to open the scoring five minutes into the second period. 

Just over three minutes later, John Moore (Colorado College) scored his third goal of the year to tie the game at one.

A minute and a half later, Andrew Miller (Yale University) took a pass from Philip Samuelsson and fired a wrist shot off the bottom of the crossbar and into the goal for his league-lead tying 12th goal of the season.  He is tied with his linemate Eric Alexander (Ferris State University) for the league lead in goals, and is the league leader in scoring with 29 points, and assists with 17.

Stremmel made that goal hold up, despite a late Sioux City power play with about three minutes left in the game.  He was named the number 3 star in the game.

After a Wednesday night game at Green Bay, the Steel return home on Friday, November 28th against the Des Moines Buccaneers.  Game time is 7:30 p.m. and tickets can be ordered by calling 630.594.1165.
