On the list of season goals for the Raider boys' hockey team, winning the Big Rivers Conference title and earning the No. 1 seed in the sectional are always included.
Check, and check.
Hudson earned at least a share of the BRC championship with back-to-back shutouts over Menomonie and Rice Lake last week and defeated Wausau West, 4-2, last Saturday to leapfrog the Warriors and reclaim the top spot in this week's Wisconsin Prep Hockey state rankings with a record of 18-2-1.
The Raiders 3-0 week was enough to solidify the No. 1 seed and first round bye for the WIAA playoffs that begin next Tuesday, Feb. 14.
Raider head coach Brooks Lockwood said it was good to earn a share of the conference title and a No. 1 seed, but there is still plenty of work to do.
