IRONWOOD, Mich. – It’s been a trying season for the Kenora Islanders.

Keestin Danielson, Hayden Seib, Elijah Constant and Tallen Caron scored for the Islanders, who climbed to within two points of the Lumberjacks (3-19-2), who hold down seventh spot in the Superior International Junior Hockey League standings.
Aidan Charron and Marshall Thomas had the Lumberjacks goals.
Kenora’s only other win came on Sept. 28, a 4-3 overtime triumph over the Sioux Lookout Bombers. They’re now 2-18-2.
Thunder Bay 6, Fort Frances 3: Evan Simeoni, Alex Remenda and Tyler Jordan each scored twice to lead the North Stars (14-6-1) past the Lakers (9-8-5) for their third straight win. Jack Wood had a pair for the Lakers in a losing cause.
Sioux Lookout 6, Red Lake 4: Owen Riffel and Sage Roberts scored second-period goals to erase a 3-2 Miners lead and helped the Bombers complete a weekend sweep.
