A Neuqua Valley High School senior has won this fall’s teen distracted driving video contest, sponsored by AAA Chicago and the Naperville Police Department.

Just like the Chicago Blackhawks yesterday, a pair of local hockey teams had a chance to play in the great outdoors over the weekend at the Bobby Hull outdoor rink. Battling athe bright sunshine, Neuqua Valley started the day off with a 3-2 win over Illinois West rival Oak Park River Forest. In the very next game, Naperville North got off to a red-hot start, scoring three goals in the first period. The Huskies added two more throughout the game and held on for a 5 to 3 victory over Sandburg. If you’d like to see more outdoor hockey, Naperville Central and Waubonsie Valley will brave the elements for a game tomorrow night at the Bobby Hull rink starting at 8:15 p.m.
