Team President Mike Sveinson says “The 8 months between the last time we played a game here and this Saturday have felt like an eternity but have been made manageable by the incredible team we have here with the
Dryden GM Ice Dogs. Playing again in Dryden for even 50 fans and everyone watching at home marks a moment that reminds me of how grateful I am to the team and those within the Dryden GM Ice Dogs organization and members of our community”.
