Strugle and Emerge

For anyone who attended Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox, Sakatchewan, and probably a few who didn't, the phrase "Strugle and Emerge" is one with special meaning. Not only the school motto, it defines those who take it to heart as a way to meet life's challenges head on. This post is a reflection of that both in its content and creation.

In our final regular season home game, we welcomed the undefeated Brest Albatross to town for what we knew would be a very difficult match as they had hammered us 13 to 3 in our first meeting. Brest is an absolutely stacked team talent wise as three quarters of their team are imports and they even have a couple of former NHL draft picks.

A game summary and video highlights will be posted at a later date once the laptop isback working. For now, I'll let you know that we lost a close one by a narrow 5-3 margin. We made some mistakes, which Brest made us pay for, but the team realy bought in to the game plan laid down by the coach and played our most disciplined game to date. It's a sign that although we have had some inconsistent performances, the team is progressing and has the necessary drive to win when it matters. Luckily we won't have long to wait as we play Meudon in a huge game tomorrow.
