Krannich expressed similar expectations to those of Augustine's in regards to the Games.
"To be honest, I don't know what to expect going into the World University Games," Krannich added. "I know that the speed is going to increase and we are going to be playing some great teams over there. All our team can do is stick to the system that we are going to play and work hard. With that, good things will come."
"Being selected for the United States University Select Hockey Team is an honor and a great opportunity to represent the United States and the University of Rhode Island," Biliouris said.
He added, "Since I have been at URI, the community has been very supportive of the hockey program, which has helped us win a national championship and made us feel just like any other varsity sport on campus."
Biliouris and the rest of his teammates stressed the need for even more support this weekend as the team welcomes Pennsylvania State University on Friday and Saturday. The puck drops at 7 p.m. on both nights.
Proceeds from the game will support the charity Hockey Fights Cancer.
