Coach Dennis Hall, team captain Ethan Fox, and the Mesquite Colts high school hockey team will hit the ice for their opening game of the 2009/10 season, when they face Keller at the Dallas Stars Dr. Pepper Star Center in Euless, Sunday, Oct. 4 at 5:30 p.m.
Fox, a senior at Poteet High School, will join with returning seniors Justin Ivy (Horn High), Dylan Nessman (Horn High), Paul Hinojo (Dallas Christian Academy), and Tanner Holubar (Mabank High School) to lead the rest of the Colts roster in their first game as part of the Gold division in the AT&T Metroplex High School Hockey League.
This is Coach Hall's first game for the Colts, after taking over from longtime Coach Marty Winn, who retired after the 2008/09 season.
Coach Hall says his team is ready to start the season and looks forward to the new stiffer competition in the JV Gold class.
“We have a range of talent on this team. Ethan Fox is our captain for a reason. He sets the pace, and that pace is fast. We have a good range of size and speed, but best of all these kids want to win. We also are a team that isn’t afraid of getting physical, and that’s how we’ll have to start and finish every game to win in this division,” Hall says.
The Mesquite Colts will face formidable opponents in the Gold division, including teams from McKinney, Frisco, Allen, Coppell, and Arlington. Games are held on Sundays. The first four games will be today in Euless at 5:30, Sunday, Oct. 11 at 7:15 at McKinney, Sunday, Oct. 18 at 6:30 in Farmers Branch against Frisco, and Sunday, Oct. 25 at 4:15 p.m. in Euless against the Arlington Wild.
