Others at Mason High School are slowly learning something that the top area high school hockey teams in Cincinnati are finding out.

The Comets have a pretty good hockey team.

Our challenge, still is visibility, Mason coach Seth Knudsen said. Some people are not aware we are an option. We have to make sure we keep marketing it the right way that we are a good team. Not just with wins and losses, but we set good examples by doing things the right way in the classroom and the community as well.

The wins have piled up for the Comets so far.

Mason is off to a 15-3-2 start in their fourth year as a club team, a bit of a surprise, considering they lost seven seniors from last season.

The seniors we lost were very skilled, Knudsen said. From where we thought we would be starting out to now, we are very happy with where we are at and how hard they have been working. It is a credit to the new kids they have really stepped up.

Mason also recorded a school first when they claimed the Elder Oblinger Holiday Hockey Tournament with a 7-4 win over St. Xavier.

Not only did it mark their first title at the tournament, but it marked the first win in school history over the Bombers.

Mason led St. Xavier 6-1 heading into the third period before hanging on for the win,

St. Xavier is always a good team, Knudsen said. We have played them close, but we just had never been able to get over that hump. It was a big win for us and made winning the tournament even better.
