“I think we can achieve great things this year”; Gally’s thoughts entering 2017-18 season

MEDICINE HAT, AB — Many times last season, Tigers head coach and GM Shaun Clouston commended his team for going above and beyond expectations.

Not many expected a 50-win season, nor a Central Division banner complete with arguably the deepest forward unit in the entire WHL. The Tigers were second to only the Regina Pats in goals scored, boasting five 30-goal scorers.

It leaves many wondering what the players expect of themselves as a new campaign looms.

Defenceman Dalton Gally firmly believes this year’s squad has what it takes to not only win another 50 games, but go further than Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs.

“It’s a big season for a lot of players,” said the 6’5″ Texan, who’s entering his second season in the WHL. “I think we can achieve great things this year. We have a great group of guys, great leadership group, so I think we’re finally ready to go.”
