Fridays game against the Deacons started out fast and highly physical. Mosinee held a 3-1 lead after one period. Putting up goals for the Makers were, Brian Bednarczyk (PP), Keith Kuklinski (EV) and Tom Lentz (EV).
Playing with a short bench, it was inevitable Green Bay would not be able to keep that pace. They gave up 4 additional goals to Mosinee in the second period, while finding the net on one occasion themselves. Colin Blair, Willie Beetham, Nick Zebro and Lentz gave the Makers a commanding 7-2 lead at the end of two periods. All goals were even strength. The third period's pace slowed considerably as Green Bay was running out of gas. Neither team scored and the game ended with Mosinee the 7-2 victor. 
 
Saturday, The Makers faced off against the Wolverines of Calumet, MI. It was "Stuffed Animal Toss" night. When Mosinee scored the first goal, fans threw the Stuffed Animals onto the ice.  Mosinee EMS, Aspirus Medi-Vac and Spirit collected 74 donations which were distributed to local hospitals and our Mosinee EMS department to help comfort ill and injured children  A special thank you goes out to all who participated.
 
First period action sent the teams to the locker room tied 1-1 at the intermission. Calumet pulled ahead 2-1 early on in the second period. That would be the last time the Wolverines held a lead. Mosinee ran off 4 unanswered goals to finish out the game with a 5-2 win.
