Despite their loss against the top ranked Eastern division contingent from Kitchener, Hamilton highlighted their trademark relentlessness today as they came back from a three goal deficit to challenge the Rangers during their last game of the regular season.
In what was likely a preview of quarter final
action in the upcoming Alliance Playdowns, the Huskies will regroup over the
days to come to bring together a strategy born from over 20 weeks of learning, practicing,
thinking, and dreaming the game that will eventually reward the most
perseverant of all. Together, their
appetite, excitement and anticipation will fuel a passion where past scores no
longer matter, as the page is turned and a clean slate gives way to a fresh
start that is guaranteed to unite the most faithful fans, the most determined players,
and the most believing coaches. Posting
a commendable 15-13-4 record and finishing 4th in their division
upon completion of their regular season, the Huskies have not disappointed in
their rookie AAA year, and while it is often too easy to critique a play on any
given day, the commitment by players and coaches was never in question but
rather is the reason for this team’s advancement toward an opportunity that many
others have not succeeded in capturing.
