Svendsen: There are defi nitely some challenges in playing in a co-op. Joining forces with kids from other schools isn’t easy especially when Revere and Everett were rivals in hockey. Lucky for us, almost all of us went through the Everett/Revere Youth Hockey program so we all knew each other. The kids l did not know were from Mystic Valley, but I learned to love them like a brother real fast. I’m glad I got to share the ice with those guys and will never forget it. Lacroix: At first there was defi nitely some challenges, like meeting new people and learning to play with them. But luckily most players on our high school team played Everett/ReTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 2024 HOCKEY | FROM Page 11 freshmen. It’s tough nowadays with private schools taking kids from public schools. Lacroix: As much as I would love for Revere to have their own team, there isn’t much faith. Frankie will be the only returning varsity player from Revere next year. Annunziata: I definitely would like to see it, but unfortunately it wouldn’t happen in my years. But I hope it happens but it would take a lot. Page 13 vere Youth Hockey so we had a strong bond and connection on and off the ice. Annunziata: At first there could be challenges, but as the year goes on everyone gets along and hangs out outside of practice, which creates a big team bond. Advocate: What’s next for you academically, athletically and how do you stay busy in the summer? Svendsen: I have not decided where I will continue my academics, but I do plan on attending a four-year college. Next athletically, I was named captain for the Revere High baseball team. I plan on a strong season and making a push for a tournament run. Lacroix: I am unsure of what’s next. I have been in contact with a few D3 colleges for hockey and some D1 colleges for lacrosse. My goal is defi nitely to play at the next level, but we’ll see. Annunziata: I plan to stay active in the summer with the sport. With losing so many seniors, I know next year is going to be tough to put up numbers so I know I have to work harder with the time I have. I’m not too worried about my plan for my academic career, but that’s defi nitely in store in the next two years.
