appendectomy surgery Coach Tucker will return to the bench in time for the opening of the 2009-2010 Roller Hockey Season. Ex player Tucker will move to the bench this season in order to further help the team complete it's quest for a National Title. Last year Andrew combined with Jason Walker for 113 points and helped lead the team to Philadelphia. When times got hard and the team had no goaltender it was Tucker who stepped up and played goaltender leading the team to victory in all of his starts but one. After all of his contributions last year Tucker has been asked to return and coach the Cougars in this years upcoming season. Earlier this week Tucker was asked to comment on the teams additions and was quoted as saying, "the veterans are coming into form and the rookies are developing faster than I thought. There is two or three potential all-stars in there. I think were contenders right now." Tucker coaching debut will be against Southeast Missouri State at 8am on the 24th of October.
