NEWS: Haden keen to make statement

Aspray Glasgow West sponsored Glasgow Clan forward Gary Haden says this weekend is an opportunity for his team to make a statement.

Jason Morgan’s side are up against league leaders Sheffield Steelers in a double header, starting on Friday at Braehead Arena (face off 7:30pm).

Haden is keen to enjoy more of that winning feeling after Wednesday’s penalty shots success against Dundee Stars, and also touched on his recent run of form where he has picked up six goals and seven assists in his last 10 games.

“Wednesday was a great team win to start the New Year,” he said. “We showed lots of character coming from behind in the third period for a big win, plus it was great to finally win a shootout game.

“Obviously, this is a huge weekend for us coming up. Sheffield have proven themselves to be a top team in the league so far so it will be a good test for us.

“I’m really excited for both games and it’s a chance for us to not only get a couple of wins, if we can, but make a statement to the league.

“As for me, I have just been trying to play simple hockey and I’ve been lucky to have great line-mates who have been on hot form and scoring.

“My main focus is all about the team and we want to put more wins together, starting this weekend.”
