Hockey: 2 games in Nova Scotia for the Aigles Bleus
The Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus (2-2-0=4 points, 4th place), who have won their last two games, will be heading for Nova Scotia for two more games on Friday and Saturday in Atlantic University Sport men's hockey action.
Derek Cormier's squad visits the Saint Mary's University Huskies (3-1-0=6 points, 2nd place) on Friday and the Acadia University Axemen (2-10=4 points, 3rd place) on Saturday. Both games are at 7 p.m.
“I liked our progress last weekend and we're going to build on that to win our two road games,” stated head coach Derek Cormier. “There's nothing easy and especially on the road. We must keep our focus and play a full 60 minutes. We can't have a small let down against these teams. A mistake can quickly lead to a goal. Our offence is working well, and our defence is doing an outstanding job. We're going to have a good test at the end of the week.”
“It's another big weekend for us,” added assistant captain and defenceman Alexis Arsenault. “We had two good games last week and we're going to build on that. All the teams are strong in the league and we're going to play one game, one period at a time and maximize every shift on the ice, and everything should be fine. Even the little details are important. We’re aiming for a better offence and be tougher to play against defensively.”
Cormier will still be without the services of Mika Cyr, Vincent Lanoue, William Basque, Thomas Cusson and Olivier-Luc Haché. Games may be viewed on AUStv.ca
