he thrill of the biggest win of the season against the Florida Institute of Technology Panthers on Feb. 6 was a much needed boost for Florida Atlantic University’s ice hockey club, which spent a disappointing weekend in Brandon, Florida, facing off with the Tampa University Spartans in two back-to-back games.
The Spartans netted two victories over the Owls, beating them 10-2 in a Jan. 21 game and 11-1 the day after. Saturday’s efforts, however, proved to be a success as the Owls dominated the Florida Institute of Technology Panthers in an 8-3 win.
The FAU Owls are led by coach Scott Grosky — now in his ninth year with the team — and Peter Worrell, a former NHL Florida Panther. Worrell could be seen shouting encouragement from the bench as the Owls went up against the FIT Panthers in one of this year’s latest games, a 10:45 p.m. matchup at the Space Coast Iceplex in Rockledge, Florida.
