Feature Story: Floor Hockey with Matt Drew

          Over the weekend, an event occurred in Lyndonville, Vermont in the Lyndon State College Bole gym. At 8 o'clock, on Sunday October 20, Team Matt Drew took on Team J.D. in a competitive intramural sport of floor hockey. This would be Team Matt Drew's 6th game of the season and the first against Team J.D.

         Coming into Sunday night's game, Team Matt Drew's season record was 5-1. The team was feeling very confident coming into the game and expected to win against Team J.D. However, this was a very competitive game because both of these teams are very good.

          Matt Drew was starting and Goalie Joe Anderson was in the net for Team Matt Drew. For Team J.D. Michael Desmond was in the net. The game began with a quick goal by Matt Drew with just minutes into the first period. Drew continued to dominate the game as he scored a hat trick and had two assists. A hat trick is when three goals are scored in the same game by a player. The final score of the game was

11-0, team Matt Drew.        

          Drew has been playing ice hockey for 14 years and this is his third year playing floor hockey for the Lyndon intramural team. He says that floor hockey keeps him active and helps him stay in shape. Since he also plays for the Lyndon State club ice hockey team, he says that floor hockey helps him stay loose when he isn't at the rink.

          Susan Henry, the Athletic Facility Supervisor/Intramural Athletics Director of Lyndon State College puts together the intramural games and makes the schedule, including floor hockey. She also is the referee for some games. Henry hires student referees to ref the floor hockey games. Drew says that without her, there would probably be no well-organized intramural games.
