Lumberjacks open second round of USHL playoffs tonight

With a resounding sweep of Team USA over the weekend, the Muskegon Lumberjacks emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the United States Hockey League's second season. The Jacks outscored the developmental program 7-2 in a pair of games at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube and now will face the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders in the second round of the Clark Cup Playoffs.
