A familiar face will be standing on the opposite bench Saturday night when the Windom Area boys hockey team hosts Rochester Lourdes in a 7 p.m. nonconference game at Windom City Arena.
Windom graduate Zach Bartosh, who played with Windom Area Coach Travis Janssen, is an assistant coach for Lourdes. He is a teacher in the Stewartville School District.
Windom Area has a 5-7 record after a 5-4 overtime win over Minnesota River Thursday in LeSueur. Cragen Potrath scored the winning goal.
Lourdes (6-7) won the first meeting between the teams this season 6-5 in overtime at the Rochester Kiwanis Holiday Festival on Dec. 30.
The Eagles then host Worthington and Waseca on back-to-back nights next Thursday and Friday.
