Forester Men’s Hockey Team to Host NCHA Quarterfinal Series
Team finishes fourth in the league, will play first-ever home playoff series

LAKE FOREST, IL - With a win and a tie this past weekend (February 13-14), the Lake Forest College men’s hockey team has completed the 2003-2004 regular season with a 17-5-3 overall record and a 7-5-2 mark in the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association. The Foresters’ fourth-place finish is its best since joining the league in 1992 and head coach Tony Fritz and the squad will host an NCHA Playoff series for the first time this weekend.
