The Bears and head coach Jon Leamy have still not forgotten.
“It was tough for our guys to come so close and lose,” Leamy said. “I know these guys returning this season are ready to get after it.”
Quite a few seniors on the team made their exits last season; including Jack Griffin, Emmerich Hoegg, Mikey Lightbourne and Phil Woods, who all contributed a heavy amount of both minutes and points throughout the season.
