The MHSHL enter play this season under the specter of the covid-19 pandemic. The season starts on time, however, there is
\na brief three week period when play is suspended in November\/December. \u00a0After that, it’s full steam ahead. Because many
\nteams will not be playing the same amount of games, the League goes with percentage based score and stat keeping.<\/span><\/p>\n

The teams play between 25 and 31 regular season games. Okoboji Mammoths<\/strong> and the Freemont Flyers<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0both leave the League for this season, making for a 12 team league.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a disappointing third place finish at last year’s State Tournament, the Metros enter this season with the anticipation
\nof continued success. Returning ten seniors, a host of other well-experienced players and a National Championship
\ncoaching staff; the Metros start this season as one of the League’s potential top teams. Unfortunately, the Metros
\nstruggle along the way to find that perfect balance of offence & defense and finish with a 16-10-0-1-1 record.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, heavily favored Jets are stunned when Sioux City opens up a three goal lead midway through the second on goals
\nfrom Landon Topf<\/strong>, Hunter Echter<\/strong> and Nate Solma. <\/strong>After a Kansas City counter, Blaze Bauer<\/strong> puts the Metros back on to
\nwith a commanding lead to end the second period.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third period is more Metros; Grant Harder<\/strong> finds the back of the net, Blaze Bauer<\/strong> grabs his second red-lighter of the
\ngame and Cash Frigge <\/strong>adds some salt to the wound. Kansas City continues to play with seemingly no urgency as the game
\nclock continues to tick. Kansas City would mount a comeback, but it would prove too little too late. Goaltender Locklin
\nJackson <\/strong>makes 28 saves, sending the Jets packin\u2019 and the Metros to the Championship game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Championship Game
\n\"\"5-Metros vs. Des Moines Oak Leafs-4 OT\"\"<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/em>March 5th, 2023
\n<\/span>The fourth seed Metros find themselves facing another giant in the Des Moines Oak Leafs. The Leafs have only lost
\nfour times and finished the season in second place. The Metros have another uphill climb in this contest as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Leafs do strike first, but doesn\u2019t deaden the Metros spirit. Three & half minutes later Grant Harder<\/strong> grabs a loose
\npuck and ties the game at one each.<\/span><\/p>\n

This second period it\u2019s the Metros on the board first, with a red-lighter from Nate Solma<\/strong>. Six minutes later JoJo Hope
\n<\/strong> intercepts an errant pass and gives the Metros a two goal lead. However, the Leafs aren\u2019t going into the night just yet and
\ncut the lead to one before the second period ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four minutes into the third, Nate Solma<\/strong> buries his second goal of the game; giving the Metros a lead that looks like it
\nmight hold-up. However, the Leafs have different plans; eventually beating the defensive corps twice and tying the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

That game-tying momentum, carries over in to the OT period, as the Leafs seem to dominate the Metros in the offensive
\nzone. However, Locklin Jackson<\/strong> is terrific in net and keeps the DM onslaught at bay, including an OT break-away
\nsave on the League\u2019s top scorer. With just three minutes remaining, Nate Solma<\/strong> grabs the loose puck in the defending
\nzone, skates the length of the ice, splits the defense and beats the Leafs goaltender, giving him a hat-trick and the
\nMetros a well-deserved MHSHL Championship!!!

The revenge-seeking Jets hit the ice and stun the sluggish Metros, grabbing three straight goals in the first. Team Captain Grant
\nHarder <\/strong>would get the Metros on the board, giving some life to a potential comeback. Unfortunately, the Jets would quickly
\ncounter and the four goal lead seems insurmountable to the Metros as they fail to generate any of their traditional offensive

This game is all Sioux City as they dominate the always tough Waterloo. This time it\u2019s the Metros who jump out
\nto an early lead, hanging three goals on the Warriors before the period is over. Nate Solma<\/strong> gets the team on the board,
\nKarson Fitch <\/strong>grabs the eventual game winner and Charlie Egdorf<\/strong> ends the first period onslaught. Waterloo rebounds
\nearly in the second, but that just fuels the Metros offence with goals from Tegan Doelman<\/strong>. Ryan Hedquist<\/strong>, Blaze
\nBauer<\/strong> and Hunter Echter. <\/strong>Sioux City throttles back in the third, recording second goals from Teagan and Nate. Karson
\nand Ryan both record a pair of assists and Nate a single helper, giving them all three point games. Goaltender Cameron
