The Université de Moncton Aigles Bleues will play two exhibition games in Boston on Friday and Saturday in preparation for the 2022-2023 Atlantic University Sport women's hockey season.
Coach Marc-André Côté's young squad will compete against the Boston University Terriers and the Stonehill College Skyhawks, two NCAA Division 1 teams.
“We want to offer the team a great experience” said Marc-André Côté. “We haven't been able to make a trip for almost three years. We’ll face off two good teams and it will be different from the last few years.”
The two games will be a good test for the Côté’s team, which has been training for three weeks. “This will be a good indication of our performance and we want to show a surprise. People are forming opinions about American college hockey and we want to go and see. We are going there to win games and play our best," he said.
Catherine Foulem, from Dieppe, is playing for the Boston Terriers. This is the first season of women's hockey at Stonehill College. The Aigles Bleues will also face the St. Thomas University Tommies next week before starting the regular season.
