“We have a very talented team and a lot of hard working players, and I believe we can compete with any team in the section,” commented senior and captain Zach Medvinsky who has been on the team since freshman year. The boys aim to win the section this year, and are very determined to do so. They are dedicated players, who “want to win and work hard for each other,” says returning junior Cooper Cohn.

Although the boys have lost and tied their first two games, they “have had a much better start than previous years,” claims Medvinsky. The team has recruited six new players, some being from Varsity B and JV who are “very solid and have been doing a very good job creating many scoring opportunities,” states returning junior, Jack Porter.
