Grady Smith, Gaylord hockey

The Blue Devils hockey team is hoping to get back to their winning ways soon, currently on a three-game skid while only winning one game in the past 11 tries.

Still, the team has had performances worth celebrating, and one came in the team's 6-5 loss to Swan Valley as Grady Smith accounted for three assists in his first action since moving from defense to forward.
