MISSOULA, Mont. – The University of Providence hockey team kicked off their season in dominant fashion, taking down the University of Montana 8-0 Friday night in Missoula, Mont.

"We played really well," head coach Jeff Heimel said. "I'm not saying I didn't expect it from them because we have a veteran group, but we shot out of a cannon it seemed like. That was really cool to see, especially on limited practice time."

The Argos (1-0) had a balanced attack on the evening, with six different players finding the back of the net and seven recording assists. Jakob Stevenson and Liam Carvalho recorded two goals a piece, while Levi Anderson, Cooper Page, Stanislav Struthers and Will Wright all notched one as well.

Leo Felt led the team with three assists, while Anderson, Wright and Gabe Kwiatkowski recorded two. Page, Stevenson and Ty Alger also recorded an assist on the evening.

"We were getting production from all individuals and lines," Heimel said. "Even the guys that didn't produce a ton, I felt like they were making plays and giving themselves opportunities to score. I thought we had a really good group effort tonight."

The Argos will take on the Grizzlies (4-2) in a rematch tomorrow night in the team's home opener. The game, which will feature as a whiteout, will begin tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. at the Great Falls Ice Plex.

"It's hard to put into words how excited I am for tomorrow," Heimel said. "We obviously had plenty of home games last year, but we missed having the fans in the building. We're really excited to be back at home."
