This series against UM reminds me of a similar situation we faced a number of years ago playing in HE during Bjork’s last year. That season, we made the HE semi finals and got thoroughly embarrassed by a UM-Lowell team many had pegged for the frozen four. Two weeks later we beat them in the regional final in Manchester- only the second time that happened away from the CFIA while we were in HE. Jackson made a couple of subtle but important adjustments with the lineup and their approach in the time between the HE semis and the regionals that proved to be the difference. This included a very lengthy conversation with Jordan Gross at the end of their open practice before the regionals that lit a fire under him.
We don’t have Bjork (or Gross or Oglevie) and are younger than that particular team, but I’ve seen Jackson do this before.
Who's to say it couldn’t happen again?
I like all your hopefulness that we can beat the Skunkbears
