Coach Hood hopes for energy

“Just come work hard… Come here, have some fun, and show us what you’ve got. We want guys who are going to work hard every night; guys who have speed, and are in shape.” Head Coach Scott Hood says, “We’re trying to work with some junior teams to get some affiliation done.”

Hood also notes that it’s a hard transition for most kids to get back onto the ice after a summer in Canada.

“If we have lots of kids, we will do some drills, and get into scrimmages. We don’t expect everyone to be notch first skate, but just come ready to play.”
