By Mike Couling: Daily Mining Gazette CALUMET — The Calumet Wolverines snapped a five-year span without the Gibson Cup, taking home the trophy for the first time since the 1995-96 season with a 7-4 senior hockey decision over the Portage Lake Pioneers at the Calumet Armor here Thursday. The Gibson Cup is a best-of-three series, with the Wolverines having picked up the first win over the Pioneers in Houghton a few weeks ago. The Cup-clinching win marks another point in a remarkable year for the Wolverines, having already sealed up the Great Lakes Hockey Conference regular season title. “This is my 15th one as a player or coach,” Wolverines skipper Bruce Coppo, Sr said. “There are all just as sweet. Everybody on our team stepped up their game (Thursday). They wanted this very badly.” Leading the Wolverines in the championship win was center Mark Pomroy, who picked up a hat trick and added an assist. Portage Lake quieted the crowd early in the first period with a score from Kent Holombo as the Calumet cage minder Jason Moilanan went to the back of the net to clear a puck and was out of position to make a save. Holombo was assisted by Randy Stevens. Calumet knotted the score at 1-1 with a score from Brendan Doud, assisted by Brad Wickstrom and Pomroy. The Pioneers other score of the first period was by Stevens, assisted by Holombo and Josh Koskela. Down 2-1 the Calumet team seemed to be surprised by the fiery efforts of the Portage squad. Pomroy tied the game at 2-2 on a powerful slap shot wound from the wrist that sailed into the upper stick side corner of the Pioneer net, past reaching goalie Jeff Markham. Pomroy was assisted on the score by Brendan Doud and Jake Junttila. The Wolverines followed the score just 27 seconds later with another tally after a massive forecheck that allowed Bill Pelli to find the right side twine high and give the Wolves a 3-2 lead. Pelli was assisted by Kris Mihelcick.

Photo courtesy of Connie Julien	2004 Nationals punctuate season of contrasts for area teams By JEFF ARNOLD Daily Mining Gazette Writer HOUGHTON — The Calumet Wolverines and Portage Lake Pioneers finished up their respective seasons at nationals in Fond du Lac, Wis., over the weekend. Neither team was able to advance — the Pioneers went 0-2-1 with a 5-5 tie against Mosinee, and the Wolverines went 1-2, beating Minneapolis 6-4 in the opening game of the tournament. In regular season play, the Pioneers shared the title in the Northern Division of the Great Lakes Hockey League with a 15-5 mark. The Wolverines finished at 9-11 and in second in the Northern Division behind the Pioneers. “It was a struggle for us this season,” Wolverines’ assistant coach Roger Rintala said. “We really had our ups and downs. It was a year of growth for the team.” As in past seasons, each team had to deal with the loss of players from the previous season. The Wolverines especially had to deal with a high turnover ratio this season. “We were very young this year,” Calumet forward Bruce Coppo Jr. said. Despite the disappointment at nationals this year, Pioneers’ forward Craig Biekkola thought that the team had a good year. “We tied for first in the league, and we won the Gibson Cup,” Biekkola said. “We had a pretty fast team this year. We were skilled offensively, and we had good goaltending this year.” — For a complete version of this story, please see the print edition of The Daily Mining Gazette. 7 April 2004
