Bomber Hockey
One month and counting until the beginning of the Kenston Hockey season! Despite dropping a division, the team plans on improving their record from 26-8-1 the previous season. With the loss of seven former players and the gain of only one freshman, the team has their work cut out for them with only ten skaters and a goalie. The team may be losing many players, but their division drop to Red South should ensure them a fighting chance this year. “I like the division change because we get to play some new teams who we haven’t faced before, but also have plenty of games with our old rivals,” said team captain Bennett Wenger. In addition to the new division and new player, The Pond, also received some important renovations. Over the summer, the rink was refilled with new ice and also received synthetic ice rinks for training purposes. “The new ice is much more smooth and better to skate on and allows us to really practice our game,” said other team captain Tanner Mulhern. With The Pond and Kenston’s out with the old and in with the new mentality, the Bomber Hockey team plans to have another great season along with the change of scenery.
