ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The art and/or science of peaking for the playoffs is inexact.
That doesn’t mean it should be disregarded, either.
At the end of a competitive season lengthy enough to rival anything they’ll see in college or the pros, the BK Selects girls are back at work, preparing for what they hope is another two-team trip to USA Hockey Nationals in early April.
“Our girls do a great job throughout the year, learning to have a routine and a process, and through the year they grow that process,” said BK Director of Girls Hockey Cari Coen.
“It’s a really big piece to (have) individual and team success,” she continued. “We talk about being a pro, right? That means taking care of everything you do, if it’s academically, socially or athletically.”
With the arrival of March comes the New York state tournament, with the 19Us set to face Buffalo’s Nichols School in a two-game series this weekend, while the 16Us will line up against the Rochester Jr. Americans, Syracuse Valley Eagles and Team Long Island.
After wrapping up the regular season last weekend, it’s down to this to see if the BK Selects girls play on.
