Wednesday, September 26, 2018. Charlottetown ā By Bryce Doiron The Holland College Hurricanes are clicking right now and are ready to roll when it comes their Saturday road game against Dalhousie.
Head Coach Ross Young says that the momentum from last weekās home opening win was a great confidence boost.
āWe had a better jump in our step and we were good on both sides,ā said Young.
āThe boys went out and executed.ā
Wide receiver Adam Shambie agrees completely.
āWe were gunning it out there. We were focused and put up on the board,ā he said.
Shambie said the boys are ready to go up against the Tigers.
āWe just canāt come out flat. We need to show the rookies how important this game is to the returning guys. ā
Fellow wide receiver Thomas Cassidy said that they have got to go in hot.
āIt should be a good game and weāve prepared all week and are ready to go.ā
As for what the āCanes should expect out of the Tigers, Coach Young said itās different every time.
āOn any given day, anyone can win. Itās always a great game when the Hurricanes and Tigers face off. Thereās lots of history. with both teams winning and losing big close games,ā he said.
Last season, the Hurricanes swept the Tigers in the regular season before falling in the semi-final. Coach Young said thatās just the way it is in football sometimes.
āWe played two games against the Tigers last year where we showed up and won; but when we needed to win in the semi-final, we didnāt.ā
Young added that they will be looking to avoid the same outcome this year.
The Holland Hurricanes take on the Dalhousie Tigers in Halifax at 1 p.m. in the first back-to-back games against the team. Their next home game is against the Tigers on Sunday, October 7.
