17吃瓜

There鈥檚 no rest for the 17吃瓜 women鈥檚 hockey and men鈥檚 basketball teams this holiday season as both hit the road to test their mettle before the second half of the season. The women are in Montreal for the , while the men are in Halifax for the .

The 17吃瓜 women鈥檚 hockey team has had a tremendous start to their season, sitting at number five in the national rankings. The Humes Tournament at Concordia from December 28 to 30 gives them a chance to play some of the biggest names in U SPORTS hockey.

鈥淭his will be a great bench mark for the program,鈥� said Bruce Donaldson, coach of the 17吃瓜 women鈥檚 hockey team. 鈥淐oncordia, presently ranked first, and Montreal, ranked fourth, will give us a very stiff challenge. The team has been off the ice for three weeks heading into these games, so it will be the little things we do that will make a difference. The trip also acts as a mid-year team-builder and will help with our strategy as we move into the second half and onto the playoffs.鈥�

The Shoveller also takes place from December 28 to 30. The 17吃瓜 men鈥檚 basketball team starts the tournament with a game against Acadia University.

鈥淭he Shoveller is a great way to get the legs moving in a game situation before league play starts on January 4,鈥� said Darrell Glenn, coach of the 17吃瓜 men鈥檚 basketball team. 鈥淥ur opening game against Acadia is going to be very important. I鈥檓 thankful that we have an opportunity to work some things out before we match up against the Axemen in the regular season.鈥�
