![one of my ideas was to make it My Little Pony themed [because] in beats we have four groups and they all produce work different weeks, so we split them into groups.

And now we have four groups. We have team Twilight Sparkle. We have team Princess Cadence– is she a princess? Guys, I need to know my My Little Pony better.

This year his goal is to help the team both in games and in practice in order to make it to state; “my role on the team is very similar to all of the other guys, which consists of working hard to help make the guys around you better, as well as just playing hard and doing my specific jobs on the ice,” he said. Hosszu is not the only one on the team working to better himself and his team during practice leading to success in games. The players work hard to do well in games, but music also plays an important part in their readiness to play. “Pump music before games really involves a lot of different rap songs that can get the boys fired up,” Hosszu said.
