UNION, NJ- The Governor Livingston Highlanders varsity ice hockey team honored their 2018 seniors with a pregame ceremony for their hard work and dedication towards the program.
Co-captains Brian Gray and Kyle Wahlers, Alex Etterman, Greg Fetter, Michael Stewart, Aidan Gallagher, Billy Alexander, Ryan Monroy and goaltender Kyle Merz were honored before the game for their years of hard work in the Governor Livingston ice hockey program.
