Comments

  • It was a big game for us after two tough losses. To come out the way we did against BC says a lot about the character of our team.” – #17 Malthe Helt 

  • “Going into the third period tied we knew we had to play our strongest period of the season. After a strong third neither team gave in and we were headed into overtime for the first time this season. [#9 Matt] Mancini made a great shot on net and was able to collect then rebound. He passed to me at the point and I took a wrist shot top right corner over the goalie’s glove for the game-winner. The team unloaded from the bench and we all celebrated an amazing game and the best win of the season!” – #21 Tyler Oakes
