Marquette, MI – Kraft Hockeyville is officially here to represent Marquette and its passion for hockey. The Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres will face-off tonight at the historic Lakeview Arena at 7pm. Both teams will hold an open practice to the public beginning at 10:30 AM and conclude at noon. Kraft Hockeyville has brought the Lakeview Arena back to life with over $150,000 in upgrades.

The Minnesota Vikings are on top of the NFC North. Minnesota’s defense denied Odell Beckham JR. all night and forced two turnovers that led to 10 points, the Vikings held Eli Manning to just 261 yards all night. Sam Bradford became the only former number one overall pick with a wining record this year. Number one overall picks are 12-19 this year and after last nights game 1-7 in week 4. The Vikings, Eagles and Broncos are the only remaining undefeated teams.

The Detroit Red Wings preseason is almost over. The roster size as of right now is at 48 and has to be down to 23 by next Monday. We had a great chance to get a Red Wings update with Red Wings Radio Voice and Play by Play announcer Ken Kal. We also talked about up and coming Goalie from Northern Michigan Jared Coreau. The Red Wings take on the Blackhawks tonight at 7:30pm.
