By Ryan Stieg  MENDOTA HEIGHTS – Halloween may have been yesterday, but the St. Thomas men’s hockey team still found some tasty leftover treats in their bags Friday night.   The Tommies got two goals from Matthew Gleason and a strong outing in net from Aaron Trotter to earn their first CCHA win of the […]
