defense great hands heavy high level played player playing possesses year
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.
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.
business coming hard hope knowing match next players playoffs work
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.
again came coaches definitely large numbers players students supported team thank
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.
hard hard-work seniors work
They've put in a lot of hard work over the years. If I can accommodate the seniors even if it's just going through introductions, I'll do that.
defense rest season
The rest of our season our inexperience at defense was exposed.
glaring hopefully mistakes played time together watching younger
After the game, I thought we played all right. But after watching the tape, we didn't play well at all. We made a lot of glaring mistakes that shouldn't be made at this time of the year. And it wasn't just our younger guys. Hopefully we can put it all together for one game.
came good period played second seem skated struggled sure together
I'm not sure what it is, but we've really struggled in the second period this year. Overall, we played pretty well. We came out and skated hard. But we just can't seem to put together a good second period. And that's something we need to address.
behind games handed
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).
good hard
We did a lot of good things. That's why it's so hard to swallow. We did enough good things to win.
against game moved solid somebody tough
Northland Pines will be a real tough game. They've moved up to No. 2 in the state. We need to go out and play hard. Somebody has to lose. If we come out and play a solid game against them and lose, then so be it.
add concerned far fifth four game gave lead loss slip
Add this one to the other four that we gave away. This is the fifth game we let slip away. There's no use sugarcoating it. I know it's a tie, but it's a loss for us as far as I'm concerned when you let a three-goal lead slip away at the end.
