For four Ohio players, the season is not quite over yet. Laker Aldridge, Luc Reeve, Jack Glen and Hollander Thompson are headed to the World Cup of University Hockey in Carta, Romania. Aldridge will represent Team USA and is excited to compete against his Canadian teammates.
"It's pretty awesome to get the chance to play against my teammates and hopefully take it to the Canadians, that would bring a big smile to my face," Aldridge said.
Glen and Thompson share the sentiment that it is a true honor to be able to represent their country through hockey.
"It's a huge honor to be selected for our country, and we are going to try to represent them the best we can," Thompson said. Of course, Aldridge was not the only one hungry for victory.
"We're going to go there and take it as seriously as we can and try to beat the Americans," Glen said.
If there's one thing the Bobcats will be bringing from home, it's their competitiveness. Luc Reeve is ready to take on any of his teammates head-to-head and looks forward to the vacation aspect.
"It is going to be fun to actually visit Romania; I've wanted to go there!" Reeve said.
The first matches start on April 14, with Team USA playing Sweden at 4:30 p.m. and Team Canada playing Romania at 8 p.m.
