The cold bite of the hockey rink isn’t for everyone. Clashing sticks, gritted teeth, and flying flecks of frost are a staple of the game — if you can’t get with the program, step out of the skates. But for Big Red’s boys’ and girls’ hockey teams, however, the ice is second nature, and they’ve got the power, finesse, and ferocity to prove it. Over a season spanning nearly four full months, both teams developed their skills and strength in daily practices, putting them to the test in 29 games for the boys and 25 for the girls. With the boys and girls boasting 13 and 14 wins on the end-of-season tally, there’s certainly cause for celebration. But their success was hard-won – Exeter hockey is able to rest on their laurels thanks to the effort put in by every team member on and off the ice.
