FAIRBANKS, Alaska – A three-point night by freshman defenseman Matthew Doran helped the Gold team to a 4-0 victory over the Blue team, as the Alaska Nanooks hockey team hosted their annual intrasquad scrimmage at the Patty Ice Arena on Saturday night.

After a scoreless 25-minute first period, the Gold team scored three goals within four minutes of each other to take a 3-0 lead over their opponent. Sophomore forward Brennan Blaszczak tallied a power play goal at the 11:21 mark with assists credited to Doran and freshman defenseman Antti Virtenan. After going D-to-D at the blueline, Doran kicked the puck low on a 3-on-5 man-advantage to Blaszczak, who scored backdoor to make it 1-0.

Just over a minute later (12:56), junior forward Colton Leiter received a stretch-pass from freshman forward Caleb Hite before stickhandling through three defending Blue players to net Gold's second tally of the night. Virtanen was given the secondary assist on Leiter's goal.

At the 13:34 mark, freshman forward Sam Ruffin made it a 3-0 game after the Gold team entered the offensive zone on a rush before scoring backdoor. Junior forward was given the primary assist on Ruffin's goal, while Doran was awarded the secondary.

Doran scored an empty-net goal for his third point of the night at the 24:13 mark, sealing Gold's victory.
