Toughness

I saw the play where Boyd Gordon was injured in the game against Florida. I watched him as he rejoined his teammates on the bench and spied as he shook off his hand in pain and then tucked it under his arm to gain comfort. As he took his regular shift three minutes later and played the rest of the game, even scoring a goal in the shootout, I thought he had a stinger and had recovered. Can you imagine playing a hockey game; holding your stick; and taking regular shifts with a fractured hand? The kid is a hockey player: tough and focused.

We have a great facility. We will do our best to work with building management to make it right.

The Georgetown men’s basketball team is for real again this year. Ranked #5 in the nation, this team has real depth and appears ready to embark on its tough Big East schedule. There is a confidence about this team and if it stays healthy, I believe it can achieve great things for the university.
