Fondy flies to state hockey tourney

The hottest hockey team in the state right now has to be Fond du Lac.

Sure, Stevens Point and Eau Claire Memorial are both undefeated. But Fondy is the only team to not allow a goal throughout the playoffs and is considered by many to be the state tournament favorite this weekend.

Stevens Point is up today, and the Panthers know how to put the puck in the goal. However, I'd imagine that Point doesn't normally face a goalie quite like Randy Willis, who was just phenomenal in a sectional final victory over Appleton.

Eau Claire Memorial has similar offensive prowess, and may be a bit more experiened.

But the team I'd keep an eye on is Kettle Moraine. The Lasers have 15 seniors on the team, have only allowed 26 goals this season and its two losses were by one goal each.
