D2 factoid: over 1/2 of the team is new this season - bigger, faster, stronger..............

thanks for chiming in. what are their chances to do better than last year dad??

Good question!

As mentioned above, the team has improved and the guys are anxious to hit the ice.

On the flip side, Coach has put together a tough schedule of ranked teams - it would have been easy to schedule a bunch of lightweights and had an .800 - .900 season, but that is not the D2 way.

Look for a great effort (fast & physical) every game!

Bottom line - better record against better teams

Come on out, it will be terrific, entertaining hockey!
