Final go-round

Hockey
Jon Pelland

This weekend is it for Matt Anderson in Amherst. Should the Minutemen make it past the Black Bears, the fifth-year senior will have to close out his career elsewhere. It's been a long five years to say the least. Talking to Anderson after practice on Tuesday, you could tell how much these past few years have changed him.

He had a tough time reflecting on his senior year, and understandably so. Individually it hasn't gone exactly according to plan. Anderson paused for a long time contemplating how to describe this season:

It’s been a great ride, I’ve learned a lot. There’s a lot more hockey to be
played and I’m really excited with what lies ahead. I think what’s in the past,
is in the past and you really can’t dwell on it or look back on it right now.


Anderson is one of the better people involved in sports, through it all he's still managed to remain an outstanding student. He deserves better than what 's already been dealt, but he definitely has to close out a tulmultuous career on a high note this weekend and beyond.
