Jimmies D-1 Hockey Past Minot St. Sat.

Jordon Kromm (FR/Calgary, Alberta)’s hat trick accounted for all of the offense the University of Jamestown hockey team needed in a 3-1 win over Minot State Saturday night at Wilson Arena.

Kromm recorded the 10th hat trick in program history and the second straight for the Jimmies.

Jamestown took a 1-0 lead at 3:52 in the first period with Kromm scoring on assists by Gage Thompson (SO/Valley City, N.D.) and Carter Johnson (JR/Meeteetse, Wyo.).

The Beavers tied the game at 10:26 of the second period on a goal from Blake Fournier, set up by Carter Barley and Landyn Cochrane.

Kromm broke the tie at 18:18 of the second, finding the puck on his stick after a faceoff to the left of the Minot State goaltender.

UJ added an insurance goal at 12:41 of the third, with Jed Butler (FR/Mazama, Wash.) finding Kromm for a 3-1 lead.

Neither team had success on the power play as the Beavers were 0-for-7 and the Jimmies 0-for-6 with the man advantage. Jamestown was whistled for nine minors, a double minor, a five-minute major, and two game misconducts. Minot State committed 11 minor penalties and had a game misconduct.

Tyson Brouwer (SR/Lethbridge, Alberta) made 20 stops in the win. Troy Martiniuk had 17 saves for the Beavers.

The teams conclude their weekend series Sunday in Minot with puck drop set for 4 p.m.
