Charlottetown, PEΒ βΒ The Holland Hurricanes football team are preparing for what could be their toughest game so far this season, when they host the undefeated Dalhousie TigersΒ this Saturday at 1 p.m.Β at UPEI Canada Games Alumni Place.
The Hurricanes and the Tigers are tied for first place in the Atlantic Football League with identical 2-0 records, and head coach Andrew Hickey said the 2013 Moosehead Cup champions have no illusions about the upcoming game.
βWeβre starting to solidify as a team, but weβre going to have to work very hard to close some of the gaps that were evident in last Sundayβs game,β he said.
Last week, the βCanes battled the UNB Fredericton Red Bombers, finally winning 37-20. Hickey said the team missed out on some good opportunities, and this week, they canβt afford to let that happen again.
βIn practice this week, weβve been tightening up some of the plays and generally making sure that the players are focused on the game,β he said.
Advocating for football prospects one story at a time.
