The Hounds thank these seniors for their four years of dedication to the team and the development of the Club Ice Hockey program, and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.

The Loyola University Greyhounds Club Ice Hockey team would also like to thank all of the support that every family member and friend has given over the course of this past season. Without the tremendous help and dedication of all Hounds fans, the season would not have been successful and rewarding as it has proven to be. The Hounds look forward to next year's hockey season, looking to again finish with the best season in team history and to strive to reach their ultimate goal, becoming the Best Team in America.
