“I am proud of all of six of the seniors. They came a long way and have matured from when they were freshmen. I wish them the best of luck for the future.” says Coach Frey to the players who are graduating West Milford and finished their last season of Varsity Ice Hockey. Throughout the season, West Milford achieved a big win against Mahwah and a very close game with Lakeland. Even though the season was rough, the team improved immensely since the beginning of the season under the leadership of Coach Frey. We all wish the team a successful season next November.
