Generals ready to battle for fourth Allan Cup title
The Lacombe Generals are primed for another appearance in the national senior men’s AAA hockey championship.
The 2018 Allan Cup runs from April 9 – 14 in Rosetown, Saskatchewan. The Generals play their first round-robin game of the six-team tournament on Tuesday, April 10 against the hometown Redwings.
Generals Head Coach Sean Robertson says after winning provincials last month, the team added a few more practices to their regular once-a-week practice schedule.
“We’ve asked guys to do their best to get in the gym and get their fitness levels up in preparation to play five [games] in five [days], or even four in five days,” says Robertson. “On the ice, we know what we’re up against. That’s kind of what we’re focused on, our first game and that’s what we’ve been building towards.”
