Reeths-Puffer forward Cody Vanderstelt (5) heads for the goal with the puck while David Kruse defends for Portage Northern during last Saturday’s hockey game. The Rockets won, 3-1.
MUSKEGON — The Reeths-Puffer Rockets have, to coach Eric Sikkenga’s recollection, never started 9-0 until last Saturday.
The team achieved that remarkable feat in its final game before Christmas break, a 3-1 win over Portage Northern at the Lakeshore Sports Center in a game the Rockets had to come back to win.
R-P had edged Grandville 2-1 in a road contest the night before, creating some tough circumstances for the Rockets, but Sikkenga was impressed with the way his team played.
