ST. CLOUD — It turns out that someone who has become a friend through playing bandy helped the St. Cloud State men’s hockey team find its newest goalie.
Gavin Enright is friends with SCSU defenseman Josh Luedtke and the pair play bandy together on Wednesday nights during the offseason in Eden Prairie.
