Wyoming Seminary Hockey is off to a great start this season, currently riding a 3 game win streak, due in part to Tristan Bidaux. Tristan is a great example of the type of player that displays all the qualities that we look for in a Sem athlete. He’s always working hard, both in the game and during practice, and is a great leader for the team.
