Faribault natives and 11U hockey players Maguire Wasilowski and Riley Hubmer represented Faribault over the weekend at the Super Rink in Blaine as selections to the Northland Hockey Group (NHG) Selects’ 2011 Pacific team.
Wasilowski, a forward, and Hubmer, a defenseman, helped their 2011 Pacific team to a bronze medal during the four-team tournament composed of other AAA hockey players in the surrounding area.
The Pacific team defeated the Metropolitan team 3-1 to open the tournament on Friday before tying the Central team 2-2 and falling 6-3 to the Atlantic team on Saturday. They matched back up against the Metropolitan team in the bronze medal game and won 6-2.
Wasilowski and Hubmer play on a travel team with Waseca and also play for the Faribault/Northfield Hockey Association. In order to be selected for the NHG Selects tournament, both players had to be chosen by coaches and nominated to the Northland Hockey Group.
