Next up on the journey is a rescheduled game with Summit at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18 at the Community Center, followed by a Feb. 22 home stand against Aspen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Against Steamboat, Glenwood scored the first four goals of the night (two from junior Max Mencimer, one from junior Robbie Wier and another from senior Ryan Kotz) before the Sailors finally got on the board 9:22 into the second period to make it 4-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Demons had another two goals, one from junior Nolan McPherson in the other from Mooney 7:22 into the third period to close down any chance for a Sailors\u2019 comeback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Steamboat did take advantage of penalties for the host team to add a goal on a power play with less than 2 minutes remaining, but by then it was academic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe were disciplined tonight \u2013 steady and sure moving forward,\u201d Glenwood coach Tim Cota said. \u201cWe needed to focus on defense tonight, just with playoffs in mind. We did that, and it was a big improvement over the last game versus Steamboat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> Senior goalie Hunter Hadsock had 17 saves on the night, as the Demons had 10 more shots on goal than the Sailors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThe boys in front of me played well defensively tonight,\u201d Hadsock said. \u201cI feel our power play is starting find a rhythm. We\u2019re getting together at the right time of the year, and we need to keep moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Added senior Colter Strautman, \u201cWe found the back of the net on some key rushes. Everyone was contributing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Steamboat Springs falls to 2-11-1 overall and 1-7-1 in the Peak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:jstroud@postindependent.com\">jstroud@postindependent.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/preps\/glenwood-hockey-in-peak-league-drivers-seat-after-6-2-win-over-steamboat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glenwood Springs&#8217; Connor Powell battles against a Steamboat Springs Sailor during Wednesday night&#8217;s 6-2 Peak League win for the Demons.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent Glenwood Springs&#8217; Kelton McPherson is double-teamed during Wednesday night&#8217;s 6-2 win over the Steamboat Springs Sailors.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent Glenwood Springs Demon Cole Houston takes the puck around the Sailors [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1318215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-09-05 21:46:15","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSKE Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1318215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318215\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1318215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1318215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1318215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
