IRON MOUNTAIN---The Kingsford High School hockey team dropped its season-opener Wednesday night to the Bay Port Pirates, 3-1, at the Mountain View Ice Arena.

Ted Pietila scored Kingsford's only goal in the second period.

The game was tied 1-1 in the third period before the Pirates from the Green Bay area scored twice to win the game. Bay Port outshot Kingsford, 15-3, in that third period.

Kingsford goaltender Wes Poupore stopped 23 shots in a losing effort. He is pictured here making a save during a game last season against Escanaba.

The Flivvers are until Dec. 3, when they travel to L'Anse.
