Daily Gleaner: Narrow loss for Tommies
The Lady Tommies are back in action at the UdeM preseason tournament tomorrow, against a still to be announced opponent. The Men will travel to Summerside on Friday night to face UPEI.
SLOWLY but SURELY !
ReplyDeleteThe 3rd exhibition tilt vs top 10 schools of last year resulted in another level of accomplishment this Exhibition hockey season.
Coach Ryan et al seems to be getting maximum effort from the team and no doubt seeing a rounding into form for 2011/12 AUS season.
I have had to discern this from Twitter notes, Gleaner reports and FRIENDS who send me optimistic reports.
I continue to believe that there will be a better TOMMIES product on the ice this season and an all round closer AUS season-
GO TOMMIES GO!
An admiral job by the new coaches in re-tooling and re-focusing the on ice product, SO FAR SO GOOD ! but what is needed is MORE SKILLED players who when opportunity presents fills the net.
ReplyDeleteKudos to all the hard working guys who will win more games than they lose as they have demonstrated progress so far.
A Dulle,a Bowers, players of that quality will be required in order to rise above the lower 4 of the AUS.
