IceGators Fall in First Exhibition 5-3
The IceGators took the ice tonight in new green jerseys ready to get the season started. The Gators looked in control of the game in the opening minutes, possessing the puck for the majority of the time. Things turned sloppy in the second half of the first period, resulting in a Mississippi goal at the 17:12 mark on a turnover in front of the net. Although down, the Gators seemed to be the more physical of the two teams - Dennis Sicard and Josh Vanderbreggen each picked up a fighting major in the first period.
