The road to the Dineen Cup is a long one.
For the South Shore Kings, they know this all too well. After falling in the title game of the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC) — part of the United States Premier Hockey League — in 2023, the Kings and head coach Tyler Holske were eager to get one more crack at it with a bevy of returning players.
It worked out.
After another deep playoff run this spring, the Kings capped off their season with a 4-3 overtime win off a goal from center Justin Ryan, a SUNY Oswego commit, over the Ogden Mustangs.
