Playing road games — those in which the team returns home on the same night — doesn't make the process easier.
Take that January night in Breezy Point. Jonah scored a hat trick in the second period — the final goal assisted by his brother, Dusty — and finished the game with three goals and two assists to reach 200 points and claim the program record.
The Dragons then had a two-hour return trip, arriving in Pine City just shy of midnight. Jonah made it home about 15 minutes later.
Jonah broke the Dragons' all-time points record in early January and enters the final two weeks of the regular season poised to add to his career total of 209. Photo from Grant Nicoll
