Talented Musician
Kaleb Rinck, fr eshman, taught himself to play the piano
and performs music by ear, a natural ability that comes easily
to him. Not just single notes; full chords. But for many, including those who have studied music, playing by ear is a skill that
takes a great deal of time to
cultivate. KUGR-TV recently featured Kaleb on Episode
14. Tune in to hear him at

Cougars fired up with a first period goal, assisted by
defenseman Jonah Henry. Chris Phillips str uck next with a
power play goal on a pass from Jake Winger. The team skated
to the locker room with renewed confidence and a 2-0 lead.
Marley Machin got in on the action at the star t of the
second with an unassisted goal. Machin and Max Van Lancker
both were credited for goals scored by Tanner Pochipinski and
Tanner Mayberry. Pochipinski ended the second period with
a hat trick, assists by Andrew Burton and Tanner
Mayberry. Beau Foos and the defensemen, Max Van Lanker,
Jake Winger, Jonah Henry, Trevor Gordon and Matt Reynolds
were looking for a shut out in the third, however, Air
Academy scored in the last minute and a half. A little too
late for the Kadets as Foos made 28 saves on 29 shots and
the Cougars came off the ice with a 6-1 victory.
