The Blue Devils and Ann Arbor Pioneers kicked off their game by celebrating the seniors who were playing, congratulating all seniors on their hard work and the time they had put into their teams over the years playing at high school. Although it’s a fun game for the seniors, it’s a more sentimental game for the underclassmen watching.
From a freshman’s point of view, senior night can be a glimpse of the future, introducing the fact they too will be seniors one day. For her first year playing on South’s hockey team, Wells Webber ‘28 shares how she feels about her first experience of senior night.
“The game was really sad because it was senior night, and all the seniors are leaving once they graduate and they won’t be able to play with us again,” Webber said. “I am going to miss all of the seniors, they are big role models for me.”
The team needs to have a game plan before they go into the game, to make sure they know what is going to benefit them the best throughout the game. Charlie Harr ‘26 shares the team’s strategy for senior night, and how it benefited them the most.
“We chose to do a lot of passing during today’s game, making sure that we are passing to the seniors only,” Harr said. “We do this because we want them to get as many points as they can scoring goals, so they can remember the feeling forever.”
As the team approaches the playoffs, they must ensure the best team relationship and that everyone is on the same page.
“I am excited to see how well we will do, as we move closer to the end of the season, and playoffs,” Webber said. “Everybody wants to do well, and I believe that we will do well.”
