THUNDER BAY – SPORTS – The Thunder Bay Chill will need to approach the final four games of their 2022 season as play-off games. The Chill are preparing for a double header in Minneapolis, Minnesota as they face St. Croix SC Tuesday night and then follow up with Minneapolis SC Wednesday night.
The Chill will return home for their final two games at tbaytelfield@Chapples Park on Friday July 15th and Saturday July 16th.
