Will Pemble (Wilton, CT dad) said: “My son a good game today. They got beat by a better team but he got his first goal of the season today and was so pumped. Before the game his coach told me he’s really improved over the last few months. Very noticeable change. And on the way home he quoted Coach Russo from yesterday’s private lesson “don’t think just do”. Coach Russo is doing a great job and we plan on continuing.”
