Tanner House, “absolutely fabulous” captain
More from the coaches transcript, this time Tim Whitehead of Maine:
“Tanner has been absolutely fabulous for us as a captain on and off the ice this year. A big part of us taking a step this year has been Tanner’s leadership, along with the other juniors and seniors. They have really reestablished the culture that we want in our Maine Black Bear teams. Tanner has been at the forefront for that. It was great to see him step up on a big weekend and deliver some big plays. Tanner was key not just in regards to the goals, but he also won some big face-offs and played well defensively, just all-around gritty hard-nosed hockey. He certainly set the tone for our team and I am very proud of him.”
