The Greyhound hockey team’s season is winding down to a close.

While many players and fans are disappointed with the team’s 5-13-1 record, others are confident the team will finish strong.

After an impressive showing at the beginning of this season, the Greyhounds haven’t won in over a month.

Many believe this is due to lack of experience, as the top two scorers on the team this year are both sophomores.

“The truth is that while we have a strong group of seniors, injuries and inexperience have been two of our main issues,” sophomore forward Jack Holds said. “That being said, we have a great team, and next year really is looking good.”

While the team has struggled to get back in the win column of late, they have shown a lot of fight through the losing streak, and have only been shut out once.

“I think we have a lot of talent,” sophomore and leading scorer Gabe Jacus said. “We’ve only been shutout once in all of our losses, so we really are just that close to being a winning team. Maybe it’s too late this year, but we still feel like we have something to prove.”

One thing has remained the same throughout the ups and downs of the season, and that is the confidence of the young team.

“They really have fought hard out there,” head coach Chris Wirtel said. “I can’t wait to see how they finish the year up.”
One thing is certain: the team is not going to leave without a fight. The final game of the season is Jan. 25 at 9:15 p.m. versus rival Ladue.
