Bryce Monrean<\/p><\/div>\n

After enduring misery last season, the Kenai River Brown Bears are off to a promising start this go-round, which continued Thursday with an overtime road win and a goaltender pledging his commitment to UAA.<\/p>\n

Center and assistant captain Bryce Monrean of Anchorage, who has committed to UAF, delivered the OT dagger in a 2-1 North American Hockey League win over the Janesville Jets in Wisconsin. Just 46 seconds into 3-on-3, Monrean knifed down the slot and redirected a centering pass from defenseman and assistant captain Caleb Huffman of Anchorage.<\/p>\n

Monrean, 19, last season finished second on the Brown Bears in points with 10-28\u201438 totals in 60 games. Huffman is on the rise, tied for second in points on the club this season with 1-4\u20145 totals in five games. That\u2019s particularly noteworthy given his 0-7\u20147 totals in 55 games last season.<\/p>\n

The victory lifted Kenai River to 3-2-0, no small improvement for a franchise that last season went 14-41-5 \u2013 28th out of 29 teams on the circuit for players ages 16-20 \u2013 and didn\u2019t post its third win until its 16th game.<\/p>\n

Earlier Thursday, Brown Bears goaltender Bryant Marks of Wasilla announced his commitment to play college hockey for the Seawolves.<\/p>\n

Bryant Marks<\/p><\/div>\n

Marks, 18, last season went 5-16-0 for Kenai River, with a 3.84 goals-against average and .889 save percentage. Those digits are modest, but the Brown Bears surrendered the second-most goals in the league (256) and featured the worst goal differential in the league (-109). That\u2019s never all on the masked men \u2013 defense is a team stat.<\/p>\n

Marks, a 5-foot-11, 170-pounder, has only played one game this season \u2013 Nils Wallstrom of Sweden has started four of Kenai River\u2019s five games. Still, Marks\u2019 one game proved a gem. He stopped 25 of 26 shots in a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Rebels at the NAHL Showcase in Minnesota last week.<\/p>\n

Kenai River wasn\u2019t the only Alaska entry to flourish in the NAHL Thursday. The Anchorage Wolverines (2-2-1) trailed by two goals deep into the second period before rallying to generate a 3-2 road win over the Chippewa Steel in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
