Polar Bears Keep Their Cool and Continue Fighting

The SRJC Polar Bears have been skating through a frosty start to the season, but there’s no melting under pressure for this den. On October 11, SRJC took on the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs at home, and while they fell short on the scoreboard, the Bears proved they’ve got more bite than the numbers show, Story Linked Here. Back on home ice on October 24, the Polar Bears faced the Santa Clara Broncos in a high-energy matchup where the Broncos came out on top, but SRJC showed clear progress, stronger puck movement, and a few flashes of pure Polar brilliance. The rematch in San Jose? Another chilling result, but every shift was another ice-chip closer to finding that winning rhythm. The Bears may have been snowed under on the scoreboard, but their fight never froze. (Read more about these games in the Sports Section of Oak Leaf News, written by Rhea Bath, Story Linked Here)

Through every game, the Polar Bears have been sharpening their claws and proving that hard work, heart, and each and every practice rep goes a long ways. The team’s chemistry is building as fast as fresh ice between periods, and you can feel that a breakout is just a rimmed puck around the corner.

Through these first few matchups, the real MVPs have been in the seats and circling the glass of Snoopy's Home Ice. Polar Bear fans have packed our home barn at each of our home games, bringing a blizzard of energy that could melt any opponent’s resolve. Add in the SRJC Cheer Squad, whose spirit was as loud as a slapshot off the glass, and you’ve got a fan base that’s truly un-brrr-lievable.
