Nov. 15/16 vs Finlandia JV

It was a up and down weekend for the Hockey Jacks. Up that the boys got a win on Friday, down as they lost on Saturday. Up as we played well on Friday, down as we struggled at times on Saturday and seemed disinterested.  Being a student-athlete there are many ups and downs but you hope to have more ups.  To be a good team and a good player you need consistency.  We were excited for the win last night and deserving so but I felt we did not get mentally prepared this morning for the game and the coach will take that responsibility.  We need to get in a routine and follow that routine. Players have to be accountable. Right now is the time we have to get better each day and prove it to yourself and each other that we are getting better.  We need to push each other and get the best out of everyone and everyday.  We had many positive things happen this weekend. Our goaltending made the save when we needed it. We got some better defensive team play.  We got contributions from everyone and different times and I thought we were a tougher team to play against than we have been all year.  We will put on the workboots this week and get ready for an unknown SDSU team out of South Dakota. Should be a good match up.  Hockey Jacks would also like to congratulate the Jacks Football team who were invited to a bowl game on Dec 7 in Kansas. Well done boys and Coaches and we hope to honor the football team at the game on Friday. More to follow.

LONG LIVE THOSE LUMBERJACKS!
