The varsity Knights hockey team played their last playoff game against SLUH at Afton on Monday, Feb. 8, but were defeated with a score of 4-2.
“I tried to keep [the game strategy] within three lines,” Head coach Paul Bruemmer said. “One, keep it even amongst players [playing time]. Two, strategy wise, tried to be good defensively, and three, play as a team and play together.”
The Knights were unable to win the playoff championships that were played within the first week and a half of Feb., but came out of the playoffs with a season record of 11-8-4.
“I think overall we played really well. I think we could have shot the puck more, and pressured the defense more [during the playoffs though],” senior Justin Kendall said.
The Knights’ regular season ended on Jan. 29. Their last game was played against Holt with a tie of 3-3.
“Overall the team played decent but we were inconsistent. We took the easy games too lightly and conquered the games we should have lost,” senior Michael Comer said, “ But it was an exciting season because every game was close and came down to the last minute.”
