Thursday, at the VFW SportsCenter, the Bismarck Bobcats and the Alexandria Blizzard were both in a preview for their first round match-up against one another. In goal for Alexandria was Matt Hemingway, and in goal for Bismarck was Gilbert, AZ native Matt Grogan. The Bobcats were the first to light the lamp at 18:23 of the first with a goal by Jordan Singer, but the Blizzard would answer with a goal by Kyle Clement. Bismarck then got back to playing the kind of hockey that Bobcat fans are used to this year, which is a big reason why the Blizzard have to enter the Bobcat Den for the first round. This game wasn’t without fighting, which sets up a fun first round to cover.
