MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The St. Cloud State women's hockey team is stranded in Rhode Island, thanks to superstorm Sandy.
The Huskies were supposed to catch a flight out of Boston Monday after playing a weekend series against Providence College.
But coach Jeff Giesen tells KARE-TV Boston shut down the airport. Giesen says the team was thinking of taking a bus home, but roads are being closed.
So the 22 players and five staff members are stuck in their hotel rooms in Providence, R.I. They might not be able to catch a flight out of Boston until Thursday.
Giesen says the team is going to try to get some practice time at Providence and see if the college can help them do some laundry.
