Players from both sides know how much this game means to their teams’ successful seasons.
Beau Tolls from the Titans squad says the game will live up to the hype around town.
“They have a really good team, but so do we. Hopefully it will be a good, close, tough game,” Tolls said.
He says he knows exactly what the Titans are up against. It’s going to take a whole team effort to come out on top, he said.
“We are going to have to use everything we have against them. We’re going to have to give it our all and not give up.”
Titans forward Dawson Whyte says although the Titans are underdogs, the Chargers will have their hands full.
“We have a hard-hitting forecheck, we have solid defence, we have a pretty good goalie, both backup and starter. We just have to bring our A-game,” Whyte said.
On the other side of the ice, Chargers captain Nicholas Hoey says he is leaving it all on the ice on Thursday morning.
“I’m going to give it my all, leave nothing behind. I’m going to do what I can to make the team succeed. I’ll do whatever it takes,” Hoey said.
He has only been playing varsity hockey for two years, but says this matchup has become a new rivalry.
“I think this is a new battle of the best.”
Puck drop is at 9:15 a.m. QNet News will have extensive coverage of the game.
