Batavia Ice Devils

Head Coach: Paul Pedersen 

Record Last Season: 8-12-1

 

Key Skaters

Bryce Polito

Polito led the Batavia attack a season ago with 16 goals as a Junior, and with one more year of experience under his belt enter ’15-’16, he should be able to assert himself once again this season. Polito also serves as the team’s Captain. 

Bryce D'Alba

D’Alba will anchor the Batavia defense this season as a Senior. He scored two goals and recorded two assists last season.

Zach Smith

Smith will join D’Alba on the back end of Batavia’s defense.

 

Coach’s Outlook

“We return several players this season and also welcome Senior defensemen Jon Barber back – which should help secure our defense. Rush Henrietta won the division last year and return several key players including Derrick Smith.”

– Batavia head coach Paul Pedersen

 

————————–

 

The Ice Devils competed very well a season ago as a relatively young team. This season, with added experience up and down the roster, expect Batavia to take a step forward, and perhaps be in contention come Sectional time.
