Freshman Friday: Vince Marozzi
The following article featuring Cornell goaltender Vincenzo Marozzi appeared January 13 on the Cornell Web site.
Goalie Vincenzo Marozzi comes to Cornell
after backstopping the Alberta Junior Hockey League's Spruce Grove
Saints to the league championship series three years in a row. If
there's one thing he knows, it's winning — in three seasons
with the Saints, he lost a total of nine games. He talks about the
gaudy numbers he posted there, and what it's like to follow the
footsteps of Ben Scrivens '10 from Spruce Grove to Cornell.
Q: You join the Big Red after two seasons in the AJHL with
the Spruce Grove Saints and made it to back-to-back league
championships in 2010 and 2011. What was that like?
A: It was an awesome experience. Being with the Saints for three
years and making it to the finals every year, being able to pull it
off for two consecutive years was a pretty awesome opportunity not
just for me, but for the guys I played with. It was unbelievable. I
wouldn't change a thing about playing juniors for four years. I've
been lucky enough to get an opportunity to play here, because of
that.
Q: Especially given that you made it to the finals in 2009
as well, but lost in the finals. How sweet was it to pull out the
win in 2010 and then follow up with it again last
year?
A: Well, I mean we should have won in '09 but we were a really
young team then so we learned from it and then obviously winning
the playoff back-to-back years was pretty special.
