Michael Stack started off the scoring 10:09 into the first period, and his cousin Mat Carden scored two …
Michael Stack is trying something new this season. The Lewiston-Porter assistant captain played defense last year for the Lancers, but this year he’s right up front — on the ice and in the scoring column. “Last year I played defense, and I was alright at it,” Stack said. “My coaches liked how I played.
