Holy Cross Hockey

The sixteenth seeded Holy Cross men's hockey team will take on top seeded North Dakota in Colorado Springs tomorrow night in the first round of the Frozen Four. The Crusaders tied a team record in wins this season with 22 (22-9-4) and I would be willing to bet that a secret weapon for their success is the support the team receives from the school administration.

Bill Bellerose is the Assistant Athletic Director and also Athletics Business Manager at the college and is therefore responsible for preparing and administering the budgets for all 27 varsity sports. Bill Bellerose is also a former head coach of the Crusader men's hockey team (from 1988 to 1993). I'm sure that Bill has played a role in making sure that the Crusader hockey program is no longer a red-haired stepsister to the school's basketball or football programs. I am also sure that the program will continue to improve and be something the college can be proud of for many years to come.
