The Hurricanes are preparing for an exciting 2020 season with returning senior stars and a talented group of freshmen. 

Brooklyn ended its 2019 season with a conference record of 2-13, but they are looking to learn from last season to improve their overall team.

Head Coach Kevin Sedlacek is optimistic about this season.

“Being open and honest, this is the best-looking team we’ve had in the past three-to-four years. The numbers look good, and we have a lot of returning seniors this year; I think we have a pretty solid team this year.”

The Canes are hoping to have a successful season by working as a team to accomplish their goals.  The focus is to win individual battles.

Sedlacek is excited about his returning seniors but knows the responsibilities that they must carry.  

“Really, the top three players that we really need to step up this year and that are returning are going to be our seniors Aaron Wrost, Brandon Tanski, and Tristen Peggs. Those are our key returners.  There’s a new sense of commitment, and the players are working to win. Along with being a lot smarter, experience does matter. These guys have seen the game, they understand what goes on, and I think they really have a desire to win this year.” 

This season, Brooklyn joined the Chagrin Valley Conference which includes teams such as Independence, Cuyahoga Heights, Orange, Berkshire, and Trinity, along with others. The boys are looking to beat these schools in the new conference and view this season as a fresh start. 

The Hurricanes will start their season on Saturday, March 28, against Beachwood at 12:00 p.m. They are hoping for a big turn out against the Bison.
