Almost everything was against the Manistique Emeralds Varsity co-op in their home contest against the Big Rapids Cardinals on Saturday. Great opportunities to score were just off the mark. Thirteen penalties were called against the Emeralds, compared to just three on the Cardinals. Multiple Emeralds players spent more time in the box than on the ice.
