At this time last month, the SMU Club Hockey team was suiting up in Mansfield, Texas to face East Texas Baptist University for the Texas Collegiate Hockey Conference (TCHC) playoffs.
In a game that ended 3-2, this campaign sent a strong message to the players of the quality they possessed and how this run could easily be replicated in a later season for a run at the TCHC title and regionals for club collegiate hockey.
And although ETBU went on to win the title, SMU students see their time at the collegiate competition as an opportunity to grow.
