"The gravity of the situaton
is much bigger than Utica
College hockey. We get that.
We're not questioning the
decision. We just want to play
hockey. We met yesterday and,
hey, the season's over. And
that'll take some time. We'll
be away from each other, and
that's not a good thing when
this is the time we should be
spending most time together.
Our captains, the seniors of
course are the ones that are
most affected. This is their
last kick of the can here.
There's a lot to celebrate.
And they've set the tone for
hey, when we come back next
year, can we do it again."
