WCRHL Pre-Season Spotlight: UC San Diego

WCRHL's Division II powerhouse promise to be an even stronger team than in 2008-2009. The past 2 seasons the Tritons have racked up 47 wins, 5 losses, and 2 ties. They have made it to the Final Four of the National Championships in 2007-2008 and the Elite Eight in 2008-2009. They were the WCRHL Regional Champion in 2008-2009 as well, defeating USC 5-1.

UC San Diego returns skaters Kenny McCubbins, Kyle Jackson, Stephen Lockwood, and Lafe Ball. In 2008-2009, Kenny McCubbins led Division II in the following categories: Points, Goals, Assists, Game-Winning Goals. Kenny was immediately followed in points, goals and assists by alumni Ben Yeaton and Stephen Lockwood.

The team hopes for a strong turnout at tryouts, for both their Division II and B teams. The B Division team finished in 6th place in the WCRHL regular season, going 6-10, but they did pull off the upset at the Regional Championships, defeating #2 seed UC Santa Barbara B Blue in round robin by a score of 3-2.

The date for tryouts is not yet set, as school starts in late September. Check in at their website at http://recadmin.ucsd.edu/sports/teams/rollerhockey/ for more information. Club President Kenny McCubbins can be reached via email at [email protected].
