Two members of last year's State Boys Varsity Hockey champion Pierre-Ft. Pierre Capitals will continue their hockey playing career by making the cut at a pair of tryout camps for two different junior hocky teams. Goalie Cody Bishop has signed with the Hudson Crusaders in Wisconsin and forward Lucas Lindholm will be taking his hockey talents to Canada as he has signed with Winnipeg Saints in Winnipeg, Canada. The two players will be playing in the junior A league, one tier below the USHL where the Sioux Falls Stampede compete. Hudson and Winnipeg are in the same tier as the Aberdeen Wings of the North American Hockey League. Bishop and Lindholm become the second and third players from Pierre-Ft. Pierre to play junior hockey following Matt Ferris who played with the Sioux Falls Stampede for 3 years and now is a player for Princeton at the Division 1 college level.
The Pierre Governor boys soccer teams opens it’s season tomorrow night when they travel to Rapid City Stevens and then face Rapid City Central on Saturday at the Sioux Park soccer fields. Martyn Beeney begins his second season as head coach of the Governors and he has 6 seniors and group of younger players to form a nucleus around. While offensively coach Beeney says fans probably won’t see a lot of different things this year than last, defensively he has instituted a new plan that he thinks will help his squad. Beeney also feels that there is great parity around the state and nobody will run away with the league title. Pierre’s home opening matches will be next weekend Friday and Saturday the 26th when they host Yankton and Brookings.
