By Eric Post 2/26/02

Sam Tricase, the youngest assistant coach in Blue Blazers has contracted Infectious Mononucleosis and may possibly miss the rest of the season. He has been very ill lately and has been residing at his home in Montpelier.

"It's a loss, it really is," first year head coach Eric Post said, "I know I'll miss his remarks from the bench, as will the team. But now we have to focus on winning. We have a big game Tuesday, if we lose we are done. We need a win. Hopefully the players will use this illness for inspiration instead of a distraction."

Sam found out Monday February18, before heading to Florida with the band. He decided to risk furthering his condition because he made the commitment to band and did not want to break it.
