One week removed from a sweep over the Soo Indians the Marquette Electricians (12-8-4 overall, 2-0-0 NLHL) will make a weekend trip to Green Bay to play against the Green Bay Jr. Gamblers (6-15-2 overall, 0-0-0 NLHL) in NLHL action.

The Electricians dominated at home last weekend scoring 14 total goals in two games. John Aho’s nine points, including four goals, led the team. Both Andrew Mills and Jonathan Hill played well in net for the Electricians, stopping all but three goals during the two games.

The Electricians had nine different goal scorers last weekend and 14 different players earn points in the two games. They'll be looking to build off of that offensive effort, and continue the excellent defensive play that has paced the NLHL thus far.

However, tough action after the whistle have led to suspensions for forwards Brandon Smaby and Joey Enright, who will both sit after scuffles during the second game against the Indians.

The Gamblers will be making their NLHL debut this weekend after losing their two league exhibition games to the Thunder Bay Kings last weekend. The Gamblers played hard but couldn’t find enough offense against the Kings. In the two games against the Kings they lost by a total score of 1-8.

The Gamblers will be looking to build off of the home crowd, something they’ve struggled to do so far this year, holding a 0-2-1 at Cornerstone. “We need to make (playing at home) our advantage. We haven’t been able to do that this season so far, but we will look to change that this weekend.” Said Gamblers Coach Michael Buchan.

“We have to play a smart game and play to our strengths. If we do this it will be anyone's game," said Buchan when speaking about what his team needs to do this weekend.

The first game will be played at 4 p.m. Saturday, before an 11 a.m. start on Sunday morning. Both games will be played at the Cornerstone Community Ice Center in DePere, Wisc.

Notes: The Gamblers will be playing in their first ever NLHL game Saturday. Marquette’s John Aho leads with league with nine points (4+5=9), Aho is tied with Wolff Belanger for the league lead with four goals, Mitch Snider leads the league with 6 assists, Andrew Mills and Jonathon Hill are tied for the league lead with one win, while Mills leads the league with a 1.00 goals against average and 93.8 save percentage. The Electricians are riding a two game winning streak. The Gamblers will be playing without forward Ben Verbeten, who is out with a sore knee.
