The Prep Hockey team is at home this weekend for their last league games before the Prep Hockey Conference playoffs in Minnesota. The Huskies take on Mount St. Charles this weekend, on Saturday at 7 pm, and Sunday at 11:30 am. The Prep team is looking to bounce back after dropping both games to South Kent last weekend. Momentum will play a big factor in the Huskies performance at the PHC finals next week! The Huskies are at a season split with Mount St. Charles, having beaten them once and losing to them once. They hope to sweep their division rivals at home in front of their home crowd.
Senior Forward and Captain, Parker Thompson, had this to say about the weekend, “We are eager to get back into the win column before heading into the PHC finals. We have had a great second half of the year and want to continue to build our momentum.” Thompson then added, “I’ve played against these guys for the past three years, I don’t enjoy playing them, I would really love to sweep these guys at home for the last time.”
“I can’t believe we’re already this close to the end. Time really has flown by this year.” Senior Defensemen, Patrick McCormick said. “I don’t want to take a single moment for granted this weekend. It could be potentially our last home games; I would really like to remember my last home game with a positive rather than a negative.” McCormick then added, “This weekend is also just a stepping stone for next weekend; we need to get rolling again. Momentum is going to play a huge factor in the Playoffs; we need to have that upper hand going into Minnesota.
Junior Defenseman Miles Van Mullen played at Mount St. Charles last year; he spent only one year at the school before taking his talents to the Northwood Prep Hockey team. “I would really love to sweep them. It is always nice to beat your former team and teammates. They’ve been texting me as of late, talking some trash; it will be nice to shove their words back in their face this weekend. I’m super excited to play them this weekend. It should be a lot of fun.”
