Comments:

There are going to be up and downs with young players, but Coach Cotino has been impressed as I have with this team over the past few months. This team is growing as a unit, and the best part about this seems to be the defense and goalies are rounding into form. The scoring is up and down which is to be expected, but from what I've seen there is more good than bad. This was a busy month and it could have been rough, but the boys fought hard to salvage some points that might have been lost. It's just going to get harder the deeper we go into the season, but the Hogs look to be on track for their first playoff birth in two years.
