MONROE — With just two local teams still competing as of Nov. 14, it’s time to start thinking about the 2024-25 winter season.

Monroe’s co-op hockey began on Nov. 11. It’s first competition will be a home contest against Whitefish Bay at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23. The Cheesemakers’ first conference game is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 3 against Monona Grove.
