2003-2004 Season Summary: Varsity Boys' Ice Hockey

As difficult as the season was for Boys Hockey , the team came to practice the entire term with a positive attitude and strong work ethic. This effort and attitude could be traced largely to Captain Alden Cook who led by example both in practices and games. Brian Hatch's and Harry Edward's shoulder problems and Marc Buck's leg injury added to the hurdles the team had to overcome. The goaltending continued to improve and the squad as a whole improved and became a stronger contender each game. Four younger players, Denis DesJardins, Brandon Simonini, Marc Trostle and Brett O'Neill progressed with each shift. Their play, along with that of Cook and seniors Jeff Nordaas and Adrian Sosenko was instrumental in making the team competitive by season end. The final game, a 4-3 come-from-behind win over Choate, gave the team a sweet ending to a difficult season. Two goals in the last minute and a half, one with the net empty to tie the game and the game winner with twenty-seven seconds remaining, gave the team a win they will always remember - a wonderful performance for the seniors to end their Kent careers and for the underclassmen to build on for next year.
