COACH'S CORNER
"It was nice to see our young guys produce today. Although I was disappointed in giving up a PK late in the game, we limited Hilbert to only two shots on the night, so it was a full team effort today.
We now focus on our next Empire 8 game with Sage this Saturday!" -- Head Coach
Matthew Webb
