Aigles Bleus to host Tigers and X-Men
The Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus (8-4-0-0=16pts, 3rd position) will play two home games this weekend in Atlantic University Sport men's hockey action at the J.-Louis-Lévesque Arena.
The Dalhousie University Tigers (1-10-0-1=3pts, 7th position) will be the opponents Friday and the St. Francis Xavier University X-Men (5-6-0-0=10pts, 5th position) on Saturday, both games at 7 p.m. They are two lower-ranked teams.
According to defenceman Yann-Félix Lapointe; “These will be two big games. We need to come up with the four points. We'll start focusing on Friday's game and then move on to Saturday's. We work hard and we must pay attention to detail. Each game is like the playoffs throughout the season. You must keep paying attention to the little things.”
Coach Derek Cormier knows no game is easy this season. “Like every weekend, we have to get points at home,” he explained. “They are two teams behind us, but if we are not ready, anything can happen. There is nothing easy and these teams are not going to give up. They can play well. We need to be well prepared.”
Players Thomas Cusson and Edouard St-Laurent will not be available this weekend due to injuries.
