. . . hockey continued from page 9 capped at 50 fans right now, but we also o er streaming online through our YouTube channel so you can still support the Beavers without being in the rink. Our team will be involved in rapid testing in the spring semester which will help to keep our team safe, which will also help our season to continue. e only other regulation that causes some major changes within our team is that we wear masks everywhere as it takes away from seeing all of the smiles after a great practice or a big win,” Beuker said. e Beavers have had a lot of success on the ice the past several seasons. Beuker highlighted a few players that fans can expect to have big seasons in the spring. “is year, our captain Sami Jo Henry and our assistant captain Haley Wickham, I think will have huge seasons. In our preseason, they showed great speed and skill, especially when they knew we needed a goal. One of our incoming freshmen, Gillian Gervin, proved that she will be a big impact player on the ice as she tested in as the fastest skater. With all our power forwards, I also have to give credit to the D-core which includes Mackenzie Heide, Sarah Martin, and our transfer student Jessica Walker who’s slapshot has the power and precision to nd the back of the net,” Beuker said. ere are several series fans can look forward to watching next semester. “Our rst set of games when we come back from break will be big games for us. Jan. 15 and 16, we take on one of our toughest opponents, which will set the standard for us for the rest of the season. In February, we y to and face o against Liberty University for a three-game series (Feb. 5-7) which is our largest competitor next to Adrian. ese two series are ones I know I am most looking forward to as they will likely be the opponents we face o against at the national tournament in April,” Beuker explained. e Beavers will make their return to the ice on Jan. 15 and 16, when they will face Adrian College. Fans are encouraged to sign up for the rae to be one of the 50 members allowed into games. e women’s hockey games will also be streamed live on YouTube.
