Schmittou Carries Regional Championship Team

Chase Schmittou has big shoulders.

The senior goaltender has helped the Bears to a hockey district championship and a 22-4 team record this season. The team is now in a quarterfinal game Tuesday against Pinckney.

“Chase has been told many times this year that the team is going to jump on his back and ride their way to the playoffs,” head coach Mike Quint said.  “He is a player that is very devoted and he has really stepped up and played great this season.”

Season highlights include beating 3-2 in predistricts, defeating 4-1 to win the district and securing the regional championship against 5-3.

The Bears’ goalie also plays baseball and football. 

“Chase is a very quiet young man until you get to know him,” Quint said.  “He’s very intelligent and fun to be around.”
