Overall, we have played very good team defense. Mason did admit that the most pleasant surprise of this season has been the performance of his power-play unit. Any time you score at 32 or 33 percent you're doing pretty well by today's standards. He hopes his team can keep up their superb penalty killing. And when Mason puts his team on the ice Friday night, there could be as many as nine freshmen in the lineup.
Nobody is entrenched in a spot in the standings right now.
We're all looking to find our spot. Right now, we're going to have our hands full. The UAF Face-Off Club will hold its fourth coaches luncheon of the season at noon Friday at the Captain Bartlett Inn. Guest speakers will include UAF coach Guy Gadowsky, UAF senior forward Sjon Wynia and Michigan State coach Ron Mason. Anyone interested in attending should RSVP to Anna Yates at 456-8534 by this evening.
