Steds: Playing for keeps...
... Steds! Like our basketball team, the Steds Hockey team had a slow start to the season, but after a bit of retooling and reforming, they become a winning hockey machine. Securing a place in the RecSports Hockey Playoffs, the Steds squad faced off against the combined power of Duncan and Fisher Hall in first round action. Playing for keeps, Steds played a game that stressed fundaments, allowing it to walk away with 5 to 2 victory. History was made! Not only was it the first Steds playoff win but also the first three consecutive wins ever! This gritty team continues, week in and week out, to tap the strength of its roster, those with talent and those with, well, spirit, and build momentum to capture a "w." And in the first playoff game, there were standouts as sophomore Davis Flusche scored three goals and senior Kyle Rubin added two more in what can only be described as a dominant showing and convincing win. On scoring three goals, Flusche said, “It’s great when you’ve got a team full of selfless guys who want to set each other up to score. I happened to be the on the receiving end of that selflessness last game.”
Still yet, hockey player and ND Football player, Axel Raarup, added, "I find it only fitting that on the 42nd anniversary of the Miracle On Ice where America’s boys, much like our Steds-Alumni team full of college age lads, overtook the USSR juggernaut, and our Steds boys pounded the notorious Duncan/ Fisher/ Zahm team into submission with a 5-2 victory. But there is no continuum of success; we must return with equal and greater vigor for this Wednesdays matchup against Stanford/ Knott where we look to triumph over the team we lost in a heartbreaker of a season opener one month ago. Wednesday, 9:10pm on the varsity ice at Compton - be there! Roll Steds!”
Good luck to our Steds Hockey Team!
