        2020 Update: How COVID-19 and Other Challenges



        Have Impacted the Alexandria Glens




        By Molly Kett


              ccording to coach Carl
        ARobillard,            COVID-19
        isn’t the only challenge the
        Alexandria Glens have faced
        so far this season. Having made
        13 changes to last year’s lineup,

        the  team  has  had  a focus  on
        rebuilding. However, the skill
        level already looks promising.

          “The team is very young but
        has already shown it will be a
        hard team to play against this
        season,” says Robillard. “I am
        expecting great things from
        this group of young men.”

          COVID has had a major
        impact on hockey this year, and
        the Glens are no exception.

          “We are limited to playing
        games against one other team
        exclusively at this time while
        taking all the proper precautions
        to protect our  players  and
                                                                                                                                             Photo Submitted
