I'm looking forward to
this year offensively
as we have everybody back.
All of our forwards are back,
including some new freshmen.
We've been working
a lot on our offense
and our offensive systems and
essentially shooting the puck
more, getting more shots,
more opportunities,
and being more aggressive
in the offensive zone.
Practice has been going
really well this year.
We have a lot of
energy, especially
with a younger coming in.
Floor drills are
going really well.
And I think moving into games,
it looks very promising.
Going into this weekend,
I think we're just
trying to take what we've
been doing in practice
and really apply it to the game.
Getting down to the basics
of just speed, communication,
picking our heads up, and
overall having confidence
will be really key
going into this game
as we have a lot
of younger players.
And just overall, as a team,
going into Friday night,
having confidence of we
can do this, let's go.
This season, I think a
main goal for us is just
to make playoffs, first off.
And other than that, just
taking it one game at a time
and building off of every
success that we have.
The schedule this year
is very friendly to us.
We do have a lot of
home games early on.
We open up this weekend
with Sacred Heart.
Then we jump right into the fire
with Quinnipiac and Princeton,
two of the top
teams in the league.
But the home games,
especially for a young team--
we're relying on a lot of
freshmen, a lot of sophomores.
And so the home games is
a good opportunity for us
to feel more comfortable
and bond as a team.
And then over break,
over the January break,
we have a lot of away
trips, which is also good
because it gets us
off campus a lot,
and we can get to places
a little bit earlier
without any missed class time.
But the first seven
home games are
going to be really
interesting for us
and hopefully, will be the
kick-start to a great season.
