Hockey Team Hopeful About Playoffs
With a 4-7 overall record, the Hockey team is keeping their fingers crossed that they'll be able to play in the playoffs.
"We need to come together and find out what we do right and what we do wrong," Goaltender Mario Viola said. "When we lose, we make stupid mistakes, and it's our fault a lot of the times."
Coach Jonathan Davis is more than pleased with the performance out of his team this season.
"These guys are playing really well as a team," Davis said. "If our record was undefeated, I would be saying all of the same things about these guys, and they know that."
An emotional game is next up on the schedule for the team, as the seniors will be playing their last game at the Fenton Chester Arena, as a member of the team.
"A lot of these seniors are going to have some really emotional games, and it could be a good thing for this team," said Viola. "It's going to be tough next year without them, and we're really going to miss them."
Although Coach Davis agreed that all of the seniors will be missed, he also felt that the contribution of the underclassmen to the team is something that should not be forgotten.
"I'm really excited to see what all of these young players with us are going to do next year," said Davis. "Many of these past years we've only lost one or two players, so for us as a team next year; it's going to be different. A lot of the younger guys will make big, important contributions for this team, and I'm excited to see that."
After winning a big game on the road against Norwich, the team just wasn't quite ready and up to par when they lost the Daniel Webster the next day.
"I think we were still emotionally drained from the Norwich game the night before," said Viola. "I know I wasn't playing my best game, so I pulled myself in the second period."
The Hockey team will host Norwich tonight at home at 7:30 p.m. Their next and last game of the season will be away against Tufts University, Saturday February 11.
