The Lakeshore Badgers returned from the holiday break in strong form, picking up a pair of impressive victories over the weekend of January 2–3 to extend their winning streak to two games.
Badgers 6, Brother Rice Varsity B 3
January 2, 2026 – Royal Oak
In their first game back from the holiday layoff, the Badgers earned a 6–3 road win over Brother Rice Varsity B at John Lindell Ice Arena.
After a scoreless first period, Lakeshore broke through in the second as Lukas Schade (MCC senior) and Owen Adair (MCC sophomore) each found the back of the net. Brother Rice answered with one goal of their own, but the Badgers carried a 2–1 lead into the second intermission.
The Badgers took control in the third period, scoring four times. Levi Young (MCC senior) added a goal, Jacob Bielski (Manistee freshman) scored twice, and Adrian Lundberg (LHS sophomore) capped the scoring. Brother Rice tallied two goals in the period, but Lakeshore’s offensive surge proved too much to overcome.
“I was pleased with the team’s effort coming out of the break,” said head coach Brian Zatloukal. “We carried play for much of the game, played physically, and had a nicely executed power-play goal.”
Badgers 11, New Boston United 3

The Badgers continued to pressure in the second, adding three more goals while New Boston managed two. Lakeshore closed the game with another strong third period, outscoring New Boston 3–1 to secure the lopsided victory.
The Badgers received goals from nine different players, led by multi-goal efforts from Anderson Riemer (LHS junior), Ryan Higley (LHS junior), and Levi Young (MCC senior). Additional goals came from Owen Adair, Cyric Jabrocki (MCC junior), Lukas Schade, Jacob Bielski, and Adrian Lundberg.
In goal, Brockton Jabrocki (MCC sophomore) earned the win, stopping 16 of 19 shots.
