Winter sports are upon us, so it is time to preview our Hurricanes’ teams and athletes. This week, we will provide the 2024-2025 outlook for hockey and bowling.
First up is hockey.
After securing their first win in a while just a year ago and having a favorable schedule this year, Coach Mike Wrost’s squad has high expectations.
Wrost’s team consists of 10 seniors, and he hopes that they can contribute to multiple victories this year. A few of these seniors include goalie Nick Supinski, defenseman Phillip Banaszak, center Jeffrey Helmick, defenseman Blake Baker, and forward Collin Flanagan. Some other experienced players include junior defenseman Rocco Spiewacki and sophomore defenseman Kyle Morgan.
Coach Wrost believes that his squad will continue to grow and earn more victories this season.
“This year, we have a 20-game schedule. We should be competitive within the division. We also scheduled some upper-level teams to challenge us. We also want to compete for a championship at the Cleveland Heights Christmas Tournament.”
Their season begins this Saturday as they take on the Bay Rockets at the Winterhurst Ice Arena, located in Lakewood. Puck drops at 4:50.
Good luck this year, team!
The other preview for this week is bowling.
Last year was a massive success for this squad as they played well in the Chagrin Valley Conference tournament and the OHSAA sectionals. Their leader returns, junior Adam Cowper. He earned a lot of awards last season and is expected to continue his projected growth.
Coach Steven Prusak is excited that his team is already growing and is ready for more success.
“We are looking for another exciting season. This year, we have a varsity team and two junior varsity teams. Last year, we had only one JV team, so the word is getting out. Between myself and Coach Cowper working with these bowlers, I’m expecting a good year for varsity and junior varsity. There are going to be separate tournaments in which we will compete this year. I’m expecting a good season.”
The bowlers will be led by juniors Cowper, Ryan Hilcu, Jacob Barrett, and Amara Zibrin, along with sophomores Kadence Szmahlo and Eleanore Louden.
Their season will also begin this Saturday as they travel to Benedictine to take on the Bengals at 8:00 in the morning.
Go get ‘em, bowlers!
Next week, both the boys’ and girls’ basketball programs will be covered.
Have a great weekend, Brooklyn.
Go Canes!
