"Our team was so close to this accomplishment the past few years," Brouillard. "We were runner up the previous two seasons. It has personally been extremely rewarding to watch the athletes’ growth and see the hard work these young men put in – and past athletes before them as well – pay off in bringing the program to the next level."
Congratulations to the team!
