Cape is in the midst of arguably its most challenging stretch of the season, and dropped a 6-3 decision to York on Saturday at the Biddeford Ice Arena.

Cape faces Biddeford at 7 p.m. Monday before traveling to Aroostook County for games at Presque Isle and Houlton-Hodgdon, but Capers Coach Jason Tremblay isn’t losing sleep over Cape’s 1-3 record in the past week.

“We’re playing a lot of tough teams and we’ve been in one- or two-goal games and we’re just going to keep plugging, hopefully be in every game and at the end of the season, jump back into our division schedule,” Tremblay said.

He’ll lose minutes behind the bench, though – Tremblay was ejected from Saturday’s loss to York and will sit out Monday’s game against Biddeford.

York tied Winslow 0-0 last weekend and while it might have been a potential preview of the Class B title game in March, York refuses to look that far ahead. Instead, the Wildcats have a task at hand.

“For the past several years the top three teams in the league have been Cape, Greely and York, and not necessarily in that order,” York Coach Michael Vessey said. “Cape and Greely lost a few people and we didn’t. We’ve got more seniors than the other teams, we’ve got more experience and we’re working hard. We’re in first (in the Western B Heal points) and we’re going to work hard to stay there.”
