Practice Notes story

This Friday's notes will be about St. Lawrence's new helmets, which are supposed to help prevent concussions. Marsh said he was only going to get them for players coming back from concussion and then get the whole team the helmets next year. The more he thought about it, the less he wanted to wait, so the team has been playing with new helmets since it's home stand with Colgate and Cornell.

Alex Petizian spends some of his time mentoring future goalies. He's currently working with a 7- and 14-year-old boy sporadically before practice. He says he tries to do it once every couple of weeks.
