On December 2nd, Mt. Pleasant had their official home opener against The Hudsonville Eagles at 7Pm at the Ice Arena.
The Oilers played a much bigger, Division II team in front of a large, raucous crowd.
Hudsonville opened the scoring in the 1st period with a goal only two minutes in tot he game. They added a second eight minutes and skated in to the locker room with a 2-0 lead after the 1st period.
The second period was a very hard fought, tough, back and forth period with goals by each teams. Hudsonville went up 3-0 and then Mt. Pleasant answered a few moments later when Robert Backus threaded a nice pass to Junior Dan Pulver who walked in all alone and buried the goal. The two teams played the rest of the period even and Hudsonville took a 3-1 lead in tot he 3rd period.
The Oilers could not muster any offense against the Eagles and Hudsonville added an insurance goal with six minutes remaining in the game and essentially icing the victory.
Sophomore goalie Adam Salisbury made 28 saves in the lost and the Oilers saw their record drop to 1-2 on the year. They will host a conference game against Midland Dow on the 7th.
