The Eagan Civic Arena was filled with hockey fans of all ages Tuesday to view something rarely seen on any ice rink.
It was boys versus women. Olympians versus high schoolers.
And one of Eagan’s favorite daughters was in the middle of it all.
The U.S. women’s national team defeated the Eagan boys varsity team 5-3 on a snowy Tuesday night, thanks in part to women’s team captain Natalie Darwitz, who grew up in Eagan. In many ways it seemed like both squads were the home team.
Darwitz made her presence felt almost immediately, helping put Team USA on the board with an assist 18 seconds into the game.
