It didn’t take long for the Waupaca boys’ hockey team to win a tournament.
The Comets handed Oregon a 5-1 loss Nov. 25 in the championship game of the Kyle J. Neurohr Memorial Tournament at the Sheboygan Blue Line Ice Center in Sheboygan.
Waupaca opened the 2018-19 season with three games at the tournament. The Comets and Brookfield skated to a 1-1 tie Nov. 23 and Waupaca also picked up a 5-3 win over Sheboygan Nov. 24.
“I didn’t really know what to expect as far as the opponents,” coach John Erspamer said. “I knew they would be pretty solid no matter who we played. We’ve never played Brookfield, I don’t remember playing Sheboygan and I don’t remember playing Oregon. It was a good, quality tournament with three really good opponents, especially for your first three games of the season.”
