Pioneers excited to host GLHL Tournament at Dee Stadium

HOUGHTON — The Great Lakes Hockey League’s top team, the Portage Lakes Pioneers, will be hosting the league tournament this weekend at Dee Stadium and the HoCo Arena. The Pioneers will be looking to win their second straight tournament title in the process.

“This is our first time since the 2014-15 season, so it’s been quite some time,” said Pioneers forward Wyatt Geshel. “We won it that year, (and) we won it last year. So, we’re looking to build off both of that and do it again.”

The tournament rotates through the league from year to year, so travel becomes a challenge most years. Having the tournament at home is very beneficial when it comes to having a competitive roster for the tournament.
