The Fredonia State ice hockey team didn't start off the State University of New York Athletic Conference on the right foot. Many of the players believe that the loss to Plattsburgh was difficult. We played them tough for the first two periods and it seemed our wheels fell off in the third. It was heartbreaking, as a senior, to lose to them the last time you play them at home. Most of the team agree that the loss is something that the team can learn from.
Hockey is a game of momentum.
If you don't have the momentum, you have to find a way to slow the game down or try to get the momentum back. Hockey is a game of frustration and disappointment, and you have to deal with those. I don't think we dealt with that as well as I expected we would. When you are able to play 40 minutes with Plattsburgh, and the game could have gone either way after two periods, it showed us that we have to play a full game to win. Aboudara disagrees, saying that they would like to forget the Plattsburgh game.
