The End of an Era, and the Start of a New One

RIC hockey sadly says goodbye to seniors Dan Nadeau, Anthony Calcione, Evan Keighly and Matthew Hozempa.
The 4 seniors were an integral part of the RIC hockey program, and are very much responsible for making
the program what it is today. These 4 guys have been there from the bleak beginnings, and have helped build
the RIC hockey team to Round 2 of the NECHA DII playoffs. This feat seemed nearly impossible back when
they first laced up the skates.

Dan, Anthony, Evan and Matthew have left behind a legacy, and hopefully the underclassmen who fill their
skates can build upon it. Now the seemingly impossible feat facing RIC's most successful athletic club
is NCAA recognition. Maybe a handful of underclassmen can lead the way there the way Dan, Anthony, Evan
and Matthew have. Who knows?

RIC hockey '07-'08 was a memorable year with ups and downs. The way RIC hockey fought as a team against the
tough teams from Duke University, Virgina Tech and North Carolina State in the Canes Cup made for some great
hockey to watch. The tenacity of the RIC squad shined through in the NECHA DII playoffs. But RIC hockey '07-'08
is in the books now. '08-'09 is the future. '08-'09 is now.
