NORTH GEORGETOWN As a result e played senior hockey In Georgetown last ycjr while still practising with the Blues I cant say there was much of an adjustment because I played ut so many levels before and have been able to adjust said 1 was just glad about coming Being a senior member of the team Lowe was made team captain However this year was quite from the other he had spent as Blues player One thing 1 had to get used lo was extra attention paid to me with or gone shot The series only two games if i games and I he the laid checked a lot more closely this year That probably hurt my personal stats some but it left others more free to have good seasons Also this year we lost five games where in my first two years wq lost only one rcgularseasongamc The Blues finished third standings behind York and Laurler After emerging victorious in the first round of the playoffs the Blues met up with defending national champ and cross town York As expected the series was quite close with York winning 1 as all three games were deeided by a goal and into overtime Its been over three days and it just now hitting me Lowe said The gomes were so close The third both samewaswilhthem But It was great for University hockey in Toronto I couldnt see- any one being disappointed when they left I sot people being turned on to college hockey York went on to meet in the final and won the series in two straight which surprise Both learns work well on the team concept but York has a few more talented plajers and I think they have more momentum having beaten us he said But the Blues season t necessarily over They could still be in the hunt Tor a national champion ship This year wild card selections are being made in the regional playoffs with teams likely selected on their spot in the rankings If No 1 can defeat in its Atlantic final scries the chances are the No will be wild card team Bui if loses will likely be wild selection not the Blues Its not the greatest way to get in to a final end the year But with this likely being my last year I welcome it said a to go on and maybe win a Id I I If had th and and slop playing Lowe said Ive thought of the last two years Last year 1 didnt play hockey here and this year I sure what I wanted to do But I enjoy teaching anything you enjoy isnt really work 1 m interested in eoaching but breaking in is tough and 1 11 likely have to
