Jake’s Lost – No Nets!
Hard working Jake Forbes, the veteran (at 24) Omaha defenseman, claims he isn’t carrying any horseshoes or four-leaf clovers around this campaign, but he can’t explain just how it is the Knights are managing without a goalie change. This time a year ago Jake had been in and out of the nets in a “spare” role at least a couple of times and an extra goalie from the Saints had worked in relief, too … “My goaltending days are all over as of last year”, Jake beamed before a recent St. Paul-Omaha game.

Ryancrete joined the International Hockey League last season, and was distinguished by a complete lack of success. In 81 games, Ryancrete won none. The final record was 26 defeats and five ties. After one week this season Ryancrete reluctantly has extended its nonwinning streak to 84. One more defeat and two more ties went into the books.…
