The Falcons hockey team will play the U.S. National Development Team on Friday night, the Falcons’ final exhibition game before heading into the regular season.
“These are the top 18-year-old players in the country,” Chris Bergeron, Falcons head coach, said. “These young people want nothing more than to come into a college situation and beat the college team.”
With the National Development Team not being a typical university team, the team is expecting a different type of playing style, but will play them as hard as if they would a university team.
“For me, it’s not different because it’s a team in a different jersey and we want to beat them,” Bergeron said.
