It’s Crabby Joe’s game day. The Exeter Hawks play Mount Brydges tonight at 8:15 at the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter.
At the age of 20, defenseman Jack Stecho has already amassed a wealth of experience, playing in Sarnia, Poland, and the United States, with one more year remaining in his junior career.
For transplanted players like Stecho, the tremendous support from the community is remarkable, with nearly every home game sponsored by local businesses.
In terms of team dynamics, Stecho says that despite players hailing from diverse backgrounds and leagues, they’ve bonded as a unit. This unity, Stecho believes, has been a driving force behind their performance this season.
Stecho not only contributes on the ice but also takes pride in mentoring younger players, emphasizing commitment, integrity, and sportsmanship.
Tonight’s game against Mount Brydges poses a formidable challenge, but Stecho is confident that with the community’s unwavering support, they can conquer any opponent. The louder the fans, the better the Hawks play.
So, go tonight and cheer on your hometown Hawks! Come before or after the game and fuel up at Crabby Joe’s in Exeter.
