Coach’s Comments:   

“The seniors have been through a lot, and we’re starting to see good things from that. Everything in the program feels different. There is a lot of energy and excitement, and the players are working their tails off. They are willing to challenge one another when things are not up to their standards. That’s growth.” – Head Coach Matt Kreider
