Conference outlook: Not in a conference. We are an independent
Keys to your success this season: Nearly our entire team last year was a first year high school player. We will need that group to take a giant leap in their second year and be the leaders for the several new skaters we have this year.
Behind the scenes: Who are some of the people that help your program succeed?
Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share? We will again be very short handed and inexperienced this year. We lost 2 of our upperclassmen for the season. One moved away and one has a season ending injury. We recruited several skaters that have never played hockey before just to have enough to play this year. I look for growth from the returning players and a good work ethic from the new skaters to help the team any way possible. It will be a trying season on the scoreboard but we have a lot of room for growth and should improve in a major way as the season goes along.
