It was a good season. We won the Central Conference Red Division and we'll be hoisting another banner in our home rink.

We didn't do a good job of eliminating odd-man chances.

I wasn't sure about it. It's tough to say the game would have been different.

We just weren't able to convert key power plays.
capitalize games goals great hard played scoring shots win
It's hard to win games when we're only scoring one to two goals a game. We haven't been able to capitalize on our opportunities. We had our chances. Healey played a great game. We had 42 shots and only managed to get one by.
clear defensive running zone
We're running around in our own defensive zone and we just couldn't clear it.
compete definitely difficult gap higher kids level looking parents private public schools situation tend
In general, the private schools tend to play at a higher level than the public schools, which is difficult to compete with. The public schools get massacred every time. In general, the gap is definitely getting wider. I think parents are looking to place kids in the situation where they're at a higher level of play.
best far game guessing kids lost players private public quality recruiting run schools stay year
In general, the private schools have run away with the high-quality players. Every year we've lost high-caliber players to the best (private schools). It's a guessing game as far as which kids are going to attend. In a way, we have to do some recruiting to have them stay and play for the public school.
