What: The Grand Haven varsity hockey team travels to Georgetown ice arena to play against Jenison for their hardest test so far this season and quite possibly the toughest conference game of the year. But they are up for the challenge. Expect the guys to come out with a lot of energy and passion as they are viewing this one as a must win. In order for the Bucs to come out on top, they must play a solid hockey game which means few penalties, quality defense and a will to attack the net.

They said it: “I think this game will come down to the end,” senior goalie Finn Bylsma said. “Whoever still has endurance in the third period will win the game.”

Players to watch for: junior Trevor Kalis, senior Austin Fox and junior Kyle Eveland. These players have been extremely good assets for the team this year and have been responsible for much of the success.
