This was Tony's first year playing defense, and he played at a high level all season. He was always the most-physical player on the ice, and he possesses great hands and a heavy shot.

I think we match up very well with them. I hope the players are all business tonight, knowing the playoffs are coming up and knowing we match up well with our opponent. We'll work real hard the next week-and-a-half.

He's a skilled player who has been able to put the puck in the net on a regular basis. Jesse also took more of a leadership role this season and is a very solid player.
capable challenged couple hope leaders players running seniors step time
I hope a couple of the players step up. I challenged our seniors over the weekend. I told them their time is running out and that they're capable of more. And we are as a team. But we go as our leaders go.

The coaches and players would like to thank our fans, and especially the AHS students who came out in large numbers and supported our team again this season. (They) definitely give us a home-ice advantage.

This was just one of those games where we got it handed to us. We'll put it behind us, and we'll play better (today).

We did a lot of good things. That's why it's so hard to swallow. We did enough good things to win.

Obviously if we had beaten Medford, it would have been hard for them to be seeded above us. It might still be hard for them.

We always get great crowds here. We played some of our best hockey that weekend.
game played solid
I thought we played a solid first period. We played a solid game all-around.

I thought so. I thought putting five on was good. I thought maybe Tyler Cameron could have gotten a vote here or there, but I was satisfied with five people on there.
best capable earlier effort good hockey hope last loss played playing struggling
That was some of the best hockey we played was earlier in the year. I hope we get back to that because we've been struggling lately. I thought we had a good effort at Lakeland (in a 5-1 loss last Tuesday), but we're still capable of playing better hockey.
against capable decent game gave good played playing rushes
That was a good game for us on the road. We played decent hockey, but we're capable of playing much better. We gave up a lot of odd-man rushes against Medford.
against common looking match numbers win
Looking at the numbers and common opponents, we should match up well against them. If we can get a win against Hayward, it would be a confidence-boost for us, and that's what we need right now.
