UMass Captain Artie Potter
Mixes it Up in Win Last Night
HOCKEY BEGINS!
Last year UMass Club Hockey finished one of their best season's in history as they went to the Nationals after some exciting end of season wins. This year they have added 12 new freshmen players and look again to be a strong young team with only 5 seniors listed on their roster of 32 players. They have a good combination of youth and experience, it appears to be just the right balance.
Last night they played a good Army Team at the Mullin's Center in Amherst, MA. It seemed like they picked it up just as they left off last year with a high energy, hustling, very aggressive game. It was an exhibition game, but nonetheless it gave a good flavor of what to expect. It was a close battle in the beginning, but UMass pulled away for a 4-1 win. Senior Danny Baldino from Ayer, MA scored 2 goals in the win.
Next Friday, September 28, the real test begins when they play their first regular season game vs. a very good Boston University at the Mullins Center, game time 8:30 PM. If you want to see some great competitive hockey come to the game, the level of play and excitement will impress you.
