The Minneapolis Novas girls hockey team shut out a short-handed Richfield squad Tuesday to earn their first victory of the season.

Editor's Note: Don't forget to check out our photo gallery of last week's Novas tryouts. With a host of returning upperclassmen and new coach, the freshly consolidated Minneapolis Novas hope to make a run at a conference championship. "I think the combination is incredible and I am very optimistic about this year," coach Shawn Reid said. One-by-one, the once-powerful squads that represented the Minneapolis public schools fell by the wayside as players began to migrate to private school and suburban programs as programs banded together into Minneapolis East and Minneapolis West over the past several years.
