ROCHESTER, N.Y. — One thing’s for sure: No one can accuse the BK Selects boys of easing their way into the 2024-25 competitive season.
Take the 16U team, for example.
After just a handful of preseason practices, head coach Dan Collins’ crew started September with a trip to Mount St. Charles in Rhode Island for the first NE Pack conference event of the year, where they one once and lost twice.
From there, they hosted the JGG (Just Get Good) Kickoff Classic in Rochester, playing four games in three days and taking home the champions’ banner there, along with the 15O team.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — While every hockey fan loves to see a eye-catching goal or a show-stopping assist, the mathematical fact remains that a goal prevented is always going to be a little more valuable than a goal created.
Why? Because while a team could theoretically suffer a defeat no matter how many times it lights the lamp, it literally cannot lose if it doesn’t allow any goals.
The BK Selects 16U girls team is operating like they took that bit of knowledge to heart, as they’ve hardly conceded during an 11-3-1 start to the season.
