Coach Morong on UNB Saint John, "I love opening each season with such a challenging game. Coach Munroe's teams are always very skilled, work extremely hard, and play with class. They return twelve players from last year's team, including four starters - which is certainly a luxury. We will need to out-execute and outwork a more veteran team to win this game. It is a tall task, but one we are really looking forward to."

Regardless of what happens Saturday night against UNB Saint John, we will need to mvoe on from it quickly to be ready to take on, what I am sure will be, an intense challenge from the Lions.
